Welcome to another episode of Wyrd Wessex!
Join the Wyrdo's, Craig and Andy, as they dive into one of Germany's most infamous unsolved true crime mysteries—the Hinterkaifeck murders. This case, which has become a personal obsession for Craig, reveals a chilling story of a family of six brutally murdered on their remote farm in 1922.
In this episode, we investigate:
- The Crime: The terrifying details of the murders, the suspicious events leading up to the attack (like the missing key and footsteps in the snow), and the chilling discovery that the killer likely stayed on the farm for several daysafter the crime, feeding the animals and eating the food.
- The Suspects: A deep dive into the prime suspects, including the possibly presumed-dead son-in-law Karl Gabriel, scorned neighbour Lorenz Schlittenbauer, and the Gump Brothers.
- The Aftermath: We look at how the initial police investigation was bungled due to contamination of the crime scene and why the case remains officially unsolved to this day, even though some believe the police know the killer’s true identity.
- Wyrd News Bonus: Stick around for our Wyrd News segment where we're discussing UFOs spotted over Norway and a potential Bigfoot sighting right here in England!
