This week’s mini episode explores two haunting cases that continue to raise the same question: how can something so shocking remain unresolved?
Erica covers the disappearance of Suzie Lamplugh, a 25-year-old London estate agent who vanished in broad daylight in 1986 after arranging a house viewing with a man she referred to as “Mr Kipper.” Despite a prime suspect and decades of investigation, Suzie was never found — and her case forever changed personal safety practices across the UK.
Pete takes us back to 1912 Iowa, to the Villisca Axe Murder House, where eight people — including six children — were brutally murdered in their sleep. The crime shocked a nation, produced a long list of suspects, and remains one of America’s most infamous unsolved mass murders.
Two cases. Two eras. And suspects that many believe were hiding in plain sight.
This mini episode includes discussion of abduction, murder, and violence against adults and children. Listener discretion is advised.
Do you think these cases had obvious suspects from the start? We want to hear your thoughts.
