101. Sounds Like The Real Deadliest Catch - The Bizarre Murder Of Matt Tancevski
In August 1994 a sports fisherman cruising the Hawkesbury River in Sydney Australia got a tug on his line unlike any he'd gotten before. Hauling what he thought was going to be a prize flathead into his boat, he instead encountered pure horror: The macabre remains of a man's body tied to a cross-like rack. Forensic science determined that the man had been killed roughly one year prior - but that's about the only fact that could be determined. Fast forward 25 years - a full quarter-century following the man's death - when the New South Wales State Coroner's Office suddenly declared that DNA testing had finally determined definitively that the body was that of a certain Matt (aka "Max") Tancevski, who - although a known gambler, had no underworld or other criminal connections. Tag along with Melissa as she wonders aloud about the wide range of questions this new information has raised...who would want Tancevski dead? If it was a simple gambling debt gone bad, would the killer have devised such a unique and complicated method for the murder? And if it was a serial killer, why have no other bodies been found that had been killed in a similar fashion?
