    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.

    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.

More than fifty years later, she is still known only as… the Isdal Woman.
