Stewardessedrabet omhandler mordet på den 42-årige SAS-stewardesse Vera Vildmyren. Politiet arbejdede intensivt med overvågningsbilleder fra Hotel Radisson Blu for at identificere en mistænkt. Sagen er siden blevet et centralt eksempel i danske kriminalhistoriske fremstillinger.
Test excerpt.
Den 29. maj 1998 forsvandt 10-årige Susan Rasch-Ipsen fra sit hjem i Tranum Parken i Brøndby. Hun blev fundet død den 5. juni 1998 i et kælderrum i samme boligområde. Gerningsmanden Lars Lee Anborg Nielsen blev i 2001 idømt livstid i en sag, der blev Danmarks første drabssag med DNA-bevis som afgørende element.
Trippeldrabet på Frederiksberg fandt sted den 11. november 2015, da tre mænd blev fundet dræbt i en lille etværelseslejlighed. Ofrene blev likvideret, mens de lå sovende på madrasser i det, der blev beskrevet som en koldblodigt planlagt henrettelse. Sagen endte med en domfældelse for drabene.
Week 21 brings a strong lineup of true crime podcasts spanning unsolved Danish crimes and international trials with unexpected twists. Both Danish and international productions have new episodes ready, covering cases that range from cold-case breakthroughs to organised crime in Scandinavia. The editorial team has listened through the week's releases and selected the essential picks.
Andrew Crispo was one of New York's most prominent art dealers in the 1980s, but behind the facade lay a dark double life of sadomasochism, narcotics and violence. In February 1985, the body of Norwegian fashion student Eigil Dag Vesti was found in a Rockland County forest wearing a leather mask — a case that became known as the Mask Murder. Crispo was implicated by the convicted killer but was never charged with homicide, ultimately serving time only for tax evasion.
Kathleen Folbigg was convicted in 2003 of killing her four infant children in New South Wales, Australia. After nearly 20 years behind bars, she was pardoned in 2023 when new genetic evidence recast the entire case in a different light.
The Rørvig Murders refer to the killing of two 15-year-old boys found shot in the dunes near Rørvig in July 1987. The case remained unsolved for decades and became one of Denmark's most widely discussed cold cases. A suspected perpetrator was eventually identified more than 35 years later, but had already died, meaning no trial ever took place.
