Evidence Locker True Crime

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.#TrueCrime #JohnWayneGacy #RobertPiest #SerialKiller #Chicago #ColdCase #EvidenceLockerBooks: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

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 #PodcastBooks: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

Eva Bourseau, 23, was murdered in her Toulouse apartment on 26 July 2015 by two students, Taha Mrani Alaoui and Zakariya Banouni, over a drug debt. Her body was submerged in hydrochloric acid in a plastic trunk — a method inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad. Discovered by firefighters after her mother raised the alarm, the case shocked France and made international headlines. After a 15-day trial at the Cour d'Assises de Haute-Garonne in December 2018, Taha was sentenced to 30 years and Zakariya to 25 years.

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.

In 1895, a Swedish man named Adolf Beck was stopped on a London street by a woman who accused him of swindling her out of her jewellery. Police quickly connected him to a string of similar frauds — and to a man named John Smith, convicted of identical crimes in 1877. Over a dozen victims picked Beck out of line-ups. He was convicted at the Old Bailey and sentenced to seven years' hard labour. The problem: he wasn't John Smith. He wasn't any of it. Eight years later, still protesting his innocence, Beck was convicted again — for the exact same type of fraud. Only when the real culprit was arrested mid-crime did the truth finally surface. We explore how a face so ordinary it could belong to anyone sent an innocent man to prison twice, and what the case of Émilie Sagée tells us about the ancient human terror of the double.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In November 2008, 23-year-old Christine Lindsey Walters left her hotel room in Eureka, California, in her pyjamas, to collect identity documents from a nearby copy centre. She was trying to get home to Wisconsin. She never made it.A junior studying botany and ethnobotany at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, Christine had come to Humboldt County for a planned three-week holiday. She stayed, drawn to the area's natural beauty and a spiritual community. One week before she vanished, she participated in an illegal ayahuasca ceremony. Days later, she was found naked and covered in briar scratches on a stranger's doorstep, speaking of demons. She tested negative for drugs, was discharged, and began making plans to fly home. She was last seen on November 14, walking away from a copy centre on I Street, Eureka. Her belongings and untouched bank funds were later recovered. She has never been found.

Frank Sinatra's "My Way" became one of the deadliest songs in history — not on a battlefield, but in the karaoke bars of the Philippines. Between 1998 and 2018, at least a dozen people were killed in disputes linked to the song, in incidents dubbed the "My Way Killings." Victims were shot for singing off-key, stabbed over microphone disputes, and killed for daring to claim the song as theirs. The killings prompted bar owners to ban the song outright, drew international media attention, and sparked debate about karaoke culture, Filipino identity, and the role of pride and alcohol in public violence.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

On a quiet September night in 2013, a routine traffic stop on the outskirts of Aksai unraveled a mystery that had haunted southern Russia for years. A violent shootout led police to a forest campsite, and what they uncovered was more than just weapons.The suspects were not professional hitmen or members of a paramilitary group. They were a family. A mother, her daughters, and her husband. Their crimes spanned nearly a decade: home invasions, execution-style killings, ambushes on police officers. Dozens of stolen items linked them to victims across Rostov Oblast and beyond.They would become known in the media as the Gang of Amazons.In this episode, we examine the investigation that connected seemingly random crimes to a single group, delve into the backgrounds of the perpetrators, and follow the trial that brought their reign of terror to an end.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon50% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

Between September 2003 and April 2006, Wisconsin prosecutors built one of the most challenging murder cases in the state's history: proving a family annihilation without bodies, a crime scene, or eyewitnesses. In July 1998, Allen Krnak, his wife Donna, their son Thomas, and the family dog vanished without a trace after leaving for a Fourth of July weekend at their cabin. When their truck was found wiped clean with thousands of unexplained miles, investigators knew this was no ordinary disappearance. The discovery of Allen's remains 800 miles away in North Carolina would reveal a horrifying truth about betrayal and greed. But Donna and Thomas remain missing to this day, their bodies never recovered from the mountains where they were likely disposed of.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

Between 1959 and 1987, a series of brutal attacks in the forests and lakesides of Finland and Sweden left multiple victims dead – and investigators haunted by their similarities. From Tulilahti and Lake Bodom to Appojaure and the deck of the Viking Sally, the victims were ordinary people, asleep and vulnerable, when violence struck without warning. Some cases were solved. Most weren’t. What links these murders? Could they be the work of the same person, or do they reveal something darker about the illusion of safety in the wild?This is a special episode that brings together cases previously featured on Evidence Locker, uncovering the patterns, suspects, and unanswered questions that continue to grip true crime researchers to this day.

In July 1984, beneath Sweden’s midnight sun, a remote campsite near Lake Appojaure became the scene of a brutal double murder. Dutch tourists Marinus and Janny Stegehuis were stabbed to death as they slept in their tent, an attack that shocked the nation and remains unresolved.This episode marks a milestone for The Evidence Locker: released in celebration of our 250th episode, it is also a remastered re-release of our very first case. We revisit the Appojaure tent killings, the failed investigation, and the later false confession by Thomas Quick, whose story collapsed under forensic scrutiny.Decades on, the truth remains buried in the wilderness, and the real killer has never been identified.

In the summer of 1960, four teenagers went camping at Lake Bodom. In the pre-dawn hours, an unknown assailant attacked them inside their tent, slashing them with a knife and hitting them with a blunt object. Of the four, only 18-year-old Nils Gustafsson survived, narrowly escaping death. 45 years later, he was charged with killing his friends, but acquitted. To this day, the mystery of what happened at Lake Bodom on that sultry night haunts the people of Finland.Special thanks: Pahan Äärellä PodcastBooks: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

On a winter evening in 1931, a soft-spoken insurance agent was lured from his Liverpool home by a strange telephone message. The address he searched for didn’t exist. By the time he returned, his wife had been brutally murdered. Who was the caller? Was the alibi a masterstroke of deception? Or did someone exploit the perfect opportunity?Tried. Convicted. Acquitted. Nearly a century later, the murder of Julia Wallace remains one of the most baffling cases in British criminal history.

Every December, thousands of letters addressed to Santa are sent to North Pole, Alaska. Boxes full of letters are then sent to North Pole Middle School, where they are included in the 6th Grade curriculum: North Pole’s 11 and 12-year-olds are nominated as Santa’s little helpers and reply to all the letters on Santa’s behalf. But in April 2006, the peace in this snow globe of a town was shattered when six 7th Graders hatched a plan to kill their classmates. The would-be attackers had drawn up a “naughty list” of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. Just the previous year, they were acting as elves, writing letters to other children all over the country. A couple of months later, they were gearing up to be monsters.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In May 1999, three members of the Orderud family were found shot to death in their home in rural Norway. The victims — Kristian and Marie Orderud and their daughter Anne — had been killed in the dead of night in what appeared to be a cold and calculated execution. Despite four people being convicted of complicity, no one has ever been held legally responsible for pulling the trigger. What followed was one of the most controversial criminal cases in modern Norwegian history. In this episode, we unpack the family tensions, forensic mysteries, legal battles, and lingering questions that still surround the Orderud case today.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

In the 1980s, the MS Viking Sally ferry became synonymous with tragedy and terror on the Baltic Sea. What began as a luxurious passenger vessel soon earned a sinister reputation when two brutal murders occurred on board just one year apart—in 1986 and 1987. The ship that was meant to provide safe passage between Finland and Sweden instead became the scene of unspeakable violence, earning it the nickname "the cursed ship." But the Viking Sally's dark legacy didn't end there. The vessel would later be renamed the MS Estonia and become the site of one of Europe's worst maritime disasters, claiming 855 lives in 1994. In this episode, we explore the chilling murders that haunted the Baltic waters, the botched investigations that followed, and the tragic fate of a ship that seemed destined for disaster from the very beginning.Follow us: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X & TikTokFor more information, visit Evidence Locker WebsiteWant to support our podcast?

Ireland’s Vanishing Triangle is an area around Dublin from where multiple women have mysteriously vanished in the 1990s. Most of the cases have the same characteristics and remain unsolved. Were they taken by a serial killer? Irish Police created Operation Trace in 1998 to actively solve the disappearances but have not been able to do so. A €10,000 reward has been offered for information resulting in the recovery of a body, as it is presumed that the victims are no longer alive.Follow us: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X & TikTokFor more information, visit Evidence Locker WebsiteWant to support our podcast?
