Karina Holmer (BONUS)
In March of 1996, a 19-year-old Swedish au pair went missing after a night out with friends in Boston. When only part of her body was uncovered in a nearby dumpster, and investigation began to find the rest of her, along with her killer. But with suspicions falling on various people - from her host, to various men in her company on her final evening, police had all but a smoking gun. As the search continued, suspicious letters began to emerge from her friends back home, with police learning that just weeks before her murder, something bad had happened to her that she didn’t feel comfortable explaining in the letter - saying that she was cutting her trip short, and returning home to Sweden in the coming weeks.

In March of 2009, a California girl headed out of her house to play with friends in her neighborhood, and was captured on surveillance footage skipping down the street. When she failed to return home for dinner, her family reported her missing. As the days ticked by with no sign of her, the FBI created a profile of their suspect. But this profile would prove to be completely incorrect, and the real suspect would stun the police, the community, and anyone who was following the case. This is the story of Sandra Cantu.

Best true crime podcast ever
I really enjoy this podcast. They are funny as well. I recommend also for people who are studying English, like me, because they speak in a very easy way to understand. Marcio from Suzuka, Japan
Going West, One of the Best!
I found this podcast on some crime case website. I just love the way they talk. I usually listen to podcasts when I drive and fix the dinner after work- something makes me get away from the work. And now I’m so addicted to it, even I am listening when I work from home! They tell the cases with a right amount of backgrounds stories and behind the scenes, staying objective.
Some of those true crime podcasts are annoying and destructive. - voices, contents, music and lots of sponsors. This one has none of them.
Thank you for sharing stories with lot of information. Looking forward to listening you more!
