During the 1980's, the stock market as we know it today was born. In Sweden it was a major shift where buying and selling stocks became something for everybody and Sweden was pioneering the digital trading. That together with a few political changes and the success of Volvo and SAAB in the US giving them huge profits to Invest resulted in a booming market where people could make huge sums of money in a very short time span. Banks were still, by law, forced to be responsible and make sure that each loan was secure but financial institutes were not subjected to the same laws and that made it possible for people to take huge loans without any security. This episode is about the most successful and famous player in that market, before he disappeared without a trace, Carl-Erik Björkegren. Learn more about your ad choices.

People who have stigmata exhibit wounds that duplicate or represent those that Jesus is said to have endured during his crucifixion. The wounds typically appear on the stigmatic's hands and feet (crucifixion spikes) and also sometimes on the side (a spear) and hairline (a crown of thorns). If stigmata is real, there is no medical or scientific explanation for it. Wounds do not suddenly and spontaneously appear on people's bodies for no reason. So what exactly is Stigmata and is there any validity to it? In this episode I break down to cases and talk about what might be causing it. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday, October 18, 2010 Sergeant Sean Drenth of the Phoenix Police Department was found shot to death in an alley. What fellow officers found when they responded to the scene continues to haunt them. Sgt. Sean Drenth, a well-liked 12-year veteran, sprawled on his back, dead from a blast from his own police-issue shotgun. Because there is evidence to support suicide or homicide, the case has been classified as undetermined. --- Anaheim investigator Julissa Trapp is not like other detectives. She’s the only woman on the homicide squad, and a skilled chameleon: undercover cop in vice stings, crime-scene commander, patient confidante of killers. A master interrogator, she invokes her personal experience – and deepest griefs -- as a tool to elicit confessions. When a young woman’s body is found at a trash-sorting plant, Trapp learns the murder may be linked to the disappearance of three other women in nearby Santa Ana. Trapp embarks on a dark journey that brings her face to face with a man who takes “a little piece of her soul.” Listen now at wondery.fm/DTCircumstances Learn more about your ad choices.
