    AFTER DARK: The Girl In The Tree

    Portbou, Spain. 1990. A young woman is found hanging from a pine tree above the sea. No passport. No money. No name. Just a pair of black sandals placed neatly nearby — and a death investigators were quick to call suicide. For thirty-two years, she was known only as the girl in the tree. Then, finally, she got her name back.

    76. After The Storm

    New Orleans, 2005. Hurricane Katrina is moving toward the city, and two French Quarter bartenders decide to stay. Zack Bowen and Addie Hall ride out the storm together, falling in love inside an emptied-out Quarter where the lights are off, the rules are loose, and survival starts to feel like freedom. But when the power comes back on, reality returns.  One year later, Zack jumps from the roof of the Omni Royal Orleans with a note sealed in plastic in his pocket. And that note leads police back to an apartment on North Rampart Street… where the story of the couple who stayed becomes something much darker.

    In March 2000, twenty-three-year-old Leah Roberts packed her white Jeep Cherokee and drove west. No warning. No clear destination.

    74. Lost Prophet

    He was the frontman of a band people loved. Famous. Charismatic. Familiar. But behind the image was something far more disturbing — a pattern of manipulation, abuse, and unchecked access that would eventually expose one of the most horrifying cases in modern music history. This is the story of Ian Watkins. A predator hidden in plain sight. And the warning signs too many people failed to stop.

    AFTER DARK: Ice Valley

    Bergen, Norway. 1970. The burned body of an unidentified woman is found in a remote valley known as Isdalen — “Ice Valley.” She has no name. No clear past. And no shortage of questions. Suitcases packed with wigs, coded notes, and false identities only deepen the mystery, as investigators begin to realize this was no ordinary death. More than fifty years later, she is still known only as… the Isdal Woman.
