Evidence Locker True Crime

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.

In the sweltering summer of 1908, 20-year-old domestic servant Hazel Drew was found floating face-down in Teal's Pond, New York. Her skull had been crushed by repeated blows. A corset string wrapped around her throat. The investigation revealed a web of secrets, political corruption, and powerful men with much to hide. More than a century later, this unsolved murder would inspire Twin Peaks – and after 113 years, researchers finally believe they've solved the case that captivated a nation…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.

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.

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.

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.

Between 1970 and 1971, a series of brutal murders terrified the streets of Bucharest. The victims were mostly women — attacked at night, bitten, and mutilated. Their killer became known as The Vampire of Bucharest. His crimes were frenzied and disturbing, leaving investigators to wonder whether they were dealing with a deranged killer or a man driven by superstition and obsession. He broke into homes, assaulted his victims, and sometimes drank their blood. When police finally caught him, the case exposed deep social anxieties in communist Romania — about violence, repression, and the darkness beneath a society that demanded silence.

In 1994, a custody dispute in South Carolina ended with a mother vanishing with her infant daughter. Dorothy Lee Barnett, accused of violating a court order, disappeared without a trace — along with 11-month-old Savannah. For nearly two decades, the pair lived under new identities across the world — first in Europe, then South Africa, then Australia — as authorities searched for clues. In 2013, an international investigation finally uncovered the truth. Dorothy had been living as Alexandria Maria Canton, and Savannah, now a young woman, had grown up unaware of her past. The case became one of the most remarkable parental abduction stories in modern history — a tale of love, fear, deception, and the long reach of justice. Listen now to hear the full story of the mother who fled across the world — and the daughter who never knew.

On Halloween night in 1974, eight-year-old Timothy O’Brien came home from trick-or-treating in Deer Park, Texas, excited to sample his candy haul. Among the treats was a Pixy Stix — one that would become infamous in American true crime history. Within hours, Timothy was dead, poisoned by cyanide. Investigators soon discovered that the killer wasn’t a mysterious stranger slipping poison into Halloween candy. It was someone much closer to home — his own father, Ronald Clark O’Brien. His crime forever changed the way parents across the United States viewed Halloween, giving rise to decades of fear over tampered sweets.
