True Crime Stories - A Century of Unsolved Crimes
By Sky Perdu
Length8h 8m
About this audiobook
Nineteen true cases, a century apart from the first to the last: from a murdered empress on the shore of Lake Geneva to the death of a hacker in a Berlin park. In between, the son of an American national hero, stolen from his own nursery. An entire farm wiped out overnight. A world-famous inventor who vanishes without a trace from a ship. A poisoned umbrella in the middle of London. A fifteen-year-old girl who never comes home after a music lesson. Nine hikers who don't survive a night in the Urals — for reasons no one has ever fully explained. Each episode follows a real case from the first warning signs to the point where the investigation stalled, or went silent altogether. Some were never solved. In others, the question of whether the right person was ever convicted still lingers today.
