In 1984, a mysterious criminal group calling itself "The Monster with 21 Faces" launched an unprecedented campaign of extortion against Japan's largest food manufacturers. Beginning with the kidnapping of a confectionery company president, the group taunted police and the media with mocking letters, threatened to poison popular sweets with cyanide, and spread fear throughout the country.
Despite one of the largest investigations in Japanese history, involving thousands of detectives, the elusive criminals repeatedly outsmarted authorities. Their brazen campaign caused millions in losses, shattered public confidence and remains officially unsolved more than four decades later.

As investigators searched beneath John Wayne Gacy's home, they uncovered a crime scene unlike anything they had encountered before. Hidden within the crawlspace were the remains of dozens of young men and boys, exposing years of murder concealed behind the façade of an ordinary suburban life.

With the evidence mounting, Gacy confessed to a staggering number of killings before standing trial in one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history. Yet for many victims, identification would take decades, and questions still linger today.

In December 1978, 15-year-old Robert Piest vanished after leaving work to meet a potential employer. His disappearance led investigators to John Wayne Gacy, a respected Chicago businessman, political volunteer and community entertainer known as "Pogo the Clown." At first, Gacy appeared cooperative, but detectives soon uncovered a disturbing pattern of missing young men connected to him.

As surveillance intensified, inconsistencies in Gacy's story mounted. Then investigators noticed a foul odour emanating from beneath his suburban home—a discovery that would change the course of the investigation forever.

In August 1966, two electronics technicians climbed a hill overlooking Rio de Janeiro and were never seen alive again. Days later, their bodies were discovered lying side by side, dressed in suits, waterproof coats and strange homemade lead eye masks. There were no signs of violence, no clear cause of death and almost no clues—only cryptic notes, an empty water bottle and a mystery that has baffled investigators for decades. #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMystery #LeadMasksCase #Brazil #EvidenceLocker #ColdCase #Occult #UFO #Mystery #Podcast

In January 1977, two young women, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett, were brutally murdered inside their Melbourne home, while Suzanne's 16-month-old son was found alive nearby. The shocking crime became one of Australia's most enduring unsolved murder cases.
For nearly five decades, investigators pursued countless leads with little success. Then, an extraordinary breakthrough revived the investigation and led to an arrest on the other side of the world.

On August 2, 2006, Washington D.C. attorney Robert Eric Wone was stabbed to death inside the Dupont Circle townhouse of his college friend Joseph Price. Three housemates – Price, Victor Zaborsky, and Dylan Ward – were home at the time. Evidence suggested the crime scene had been staged, and that Wone had been drugged and sexually assaulted before his death. All three men were acquitted of obstruction of justice charges in 2010. A civil wrongful death suit was settled in 2011. No one has ever been charged with Wone's murder. The case remains unsolved.

On New Year's Eve 1998, fifteen-year-old Kirsty Bentley vanished while walking her Labrador, Abby, near the Ashburton River in Canterbury, New Zealand. Seventeen days later, her body was found hidden in dense scrub at Camp Gully, Rakaia Gorge, 40 kilometres away. She had been killed by a single blow of blunt force trauma to the head. Despite decades of investigation under Operation Kirsty, hundreds of suspects interviewed, a 2016 coroner's inquest, and a $100,000 reward offered in 2022, no one has ever been charged. New Zealand's most haunting cold case murder remains unsolved.
