True Crime
What Happened to Jacob? The Abduction That Changed America
This case has been the recipient of many notable claims over the years. It has been called “the case that changed Minnesota.” It has been credited with changing the way that missing children investigations have operated - and at the time that it happened - back in 1989 - this case involved the largest-scale search for a missing person in the history of the United States. After sunset on the evening of 22 October 1989, in rural St Joseph, Minnesota, 11 year-old Jacob Wetterling was taken by a stranger. A masked man carrying a pistol, dressed all in black, managed to steal him away in the dark of night. The man left two witnesses to the abduction; Jacob’s younger brother and his best friend. It was a case that gripped the nation and sparked a nearly 30 year-long, perplexing investigation. One that would be the source of intense speculation - and criticism

How a Survivor’s Courage and a Single Carpet Thread Exposed Bobby Joe Long’s Reign of Terror
In 1984, Tampa, Florida, was gripped by fear as a sadistic predator stalked, raped, and murdered at least ten women, leaving their bodies dumped along highways. The FBI’s only clue? Red trilobal carpet fibers—a rare synthetic material found on every victim. With no suspect, the case stalled—until a 17-year-old victim survived, providing a description that unlocked the nightmare. Her testimony, paired with forensic fiber analysis, led authorities to Bobby Joe Long, a trucker whose maroon Chrysler matched the killer’s profile—down to the carpet fibers in his trunk.

A Tropical Getaway Turned Bloody, and the 20-Year Fight for Justice
In 1974, the idyllic Palmyra Atoll—a remote Pacific paradise—became the stage for a real-life horror story. Two couples arrived, but only one left: Buck Walker and Stephanie Stearns sailed back to Hawaii on the Sea Wind, a yacht belonging to Mac and Muff Graham, who had mysteriously vanished. The Grahams’ disappearance was initially dismissed as a boating accident, but when Muff’s skeletal remains were found years later in a shallow island grave, the FBI uncovered a chilling tale of betrayal, starvation, and cold-blooded murder.

The Minds Behind Poisoners – Targeted Vengeance vs. Random Terror
Poison is the weapon of the patient, the calculating, and the cowardly—but not all poisoners are alike. Deadly Chemistry dissects the critical divide between targeted killers (who murder with intimate precision) and random terrorists (who sow chaos indiscriminately), revealing how forensic toxicologists trace their crimes back to the source. From disgruntled spouses slipping arsenic into tea to the Tylenol Murders' anonymous monster, poison leaves a trail only science can follow.

The Phantom of Mulberry Street: Vincent 'The Chin' Gigante, the Genovese Crime Family
For decades, Vincent "The Chin" Gigante ruled the Genovese crime family not from a throne, but from a psychiatric ward—or so he wanted authorities to believe. While other mob bosses held court in steakhouse booths, Gigante wandered Greenwich Village in a bathrobe and slippers, muttering to himself in a brilliant act of insanity that fooled doctors, judges, and even his own men. But the FBI wasn’t buying it.

In 1992, the body of 17-year-old Dawn Marie Birnbaum—a runaway from Florida—was discovered dumped beside a rural Pennsylvania road, brutally beaten and strangled.

How Robert Hansen Turned Alaska’s Wilderness Into a Hunting Ground for Human Prey
In the rugged wilderness of 1970s–80s Alaska, Robert Hansen—a respected baker, family man, and avid hunter—was secretly living a double life. By day, he sold cinnamon rolls to local cops; by night, he abducted, assaulted, and hunted women like animals, releasing them in the tundra only to stalk and shoot them for sport. His meticulous hunting maps, marked with burial sites, and his twisted sense of control made him one of America’s most chilling serial killers—until FBI profiling peeled back his unassuming facade.
