I 1989 tvang New York-politiet fem unge sorte og latinamerikanske teenagere til at tilstå et voldtægtsmord de ikke begik. DNA beviste det, men de sad samlet i over 40 år. Sagen reformerede amerikanske regler om tilståelser.

Amanda Knox sad fire år i italiensk fængsel for et mord hun ikke begik. Hendes sag afdækkede hvordan internationale medier kan skabe en fortælling der tilsidesætter fakta — og tvinge uskyldige bag tremmer.

I 1995 blev 17-årige Birgitte Tengs fundet kvalt på Karmøy i Norge. I 28 år var sagen uløst. I 2024 genoptog politiet sagen med avanceret DNA-teknik og fandt gerningsmanden. Sagen ændrede nordisk cold case-efterforskning.

Dennis Rader myrdede 10 mennesker i Kansas fra 1974 til 1991 og kaldte sig selv BTK — Bind, Torture, Kill. I 30 år lykkedes det ham at undgå opdagelse. Det var DNA fra hans datters gynækologiske journal der til sidst afslørede ham.

I 1995 fulgte 100 millioner amerikanere frifindelsen af OJ Simpson direkte på tv. Sagen ændrede for altid mediernes dækning af kriminalitet — og afslørede dyb splittelse langs raciale skel.

On December 21, 2015, Thomas Nick, a 33-year-old former youth football coach, murdered four people in Rupperswil, Switzerland—a mother, her two sons, and her older son's girlfriend. He posed as a school psychologist to gain entry, then robbed, sexually assaulted, and killed them before setting the house ablaze.

Kouri Richins, a Utah mother, has been found guilty of murdering her husband Eric with a lethal fentanyl overdose in March 2022. The case drew international attention after Richins published a children's book about grief while under investigation for his death.
