In this episode, Emily discusses a slew of disappearances and double murders within a four-year period along the scenic Colonial Parkway in Virginia in the late 1980’s. Then, Elisha closes out her three-part series on the gruesome Bain family murders in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1994 - this week, we dive into the shocking evidence presented at the trial and the sentencing of the killer.


Photos from both cases are up on our social media if you’re a visual person (like we are) and need to see where the crime went down. You can also find them on our website, in the Episode Discovery file.
