The Real-Life Dexter? Pedro Filho, Brazil’s Most Notorious Vigilante Killer, claimed to only kill the bad guys—drug dealers, rapists, abusers. By the time he was a teenager, he'd already taken his first life. By the time he was captured, that number had skyrocketed. In a world where justice sometimes feels out of reach, Pedro Rodrigues Filho—better known as Pedro Filho or “Pedrinho Matador”—took matters into his own hands.

But was he a hero shaped by an impossible childhood… or a deeply disturbed killer hiding behind a supposed code? In this episode, I'll take you into the twisted mind of one of Brazil’s most infamous figures—a man whose life story reads more like fiction than fact. What made him? What drove him? And can someone really be both victim and villain?

She was young, bright, and full of promise. Martine Vik Magnussen had left her home in Norway to study in London, chasing her dreams in one of the world’s most vibrant cities. But after a night out celebrating with friends, Martine vanished—only to be found days later, buried beneath rubble in the basement of a luxury apartment building. What followed was a disturbing discovery, a high-profile suspect, and decades waiting for answers. In today's episode, I look at a case that spans continents, wealth, and power—and a young life lost far too soon.

Today's bitesize episode dives into two heartbreaking cases involving young boys — both of whom had their childhoods stolen in drastically different ways.

13-year-old Olly Stephens was killed for no other reason than standing up for what he believed in — lured by someone who claimed to love him, and left to die.

11-year-old Jordan Brown was convicted of murdering his stepmother and spent nine years in juvenile detention before finally being exonerated. But despite his legal vindication, a shadow of doubt still clings to him, as the case remains unsolved to this day.

In the final episode of Season 4, join me as I discuss the case of 47-year-old single mother Joanne Witt, who was found murdered in her El Dorado Hills, California, home. As investigators searched for her killer, the case took an unexpected turn. A brutal crime against a woman with no known enemies soon unraveled into a story of secrets, deception, and a forbidden romance with deadly consequences. As detectives pieced together the truth, they uncovered a chilling betrayal—but was justice truly served, or did a cold-blooded killer manage to save their own skin?

A devoted father or a calculated killer? On a sweltering June morning in Georgia, 22-month-old Cooper Harris was strapped into his car seat as his father, Justin Ross Harris, drove him to daycare—only Cooper never made it there. Left in the blistering heat for seven agonizing hours, the toddler’s tragic death seemed, at first, like a horrific accident. But as investigators dug deeper, troubling details began to emerge—extramarital affairs, secret online messages, and a search history that raised disturbing questions. Was this a case of fatal forgetfulness, or something far more sinister? In this episode, I examine the evidence, the defence, and the controversial decision that shook the case nearly a decade later.
