    Lost Girls: One woman's disappearance reveals a pattern of forgotten murders

    When Shannon Gilbert went missing in Long Island, her disappearance was largely ignored by the media and police. That is, until months later when the remains of other sex workers were discovered nearby — but none of them were Shannon. What happened to her? Who was targeting these women? And why weren't police doing more?  Journalist Bob Kolker, author of Lost Girls, investigated Shannon Gilbert's story and the institutional failings that plagued these women's cases. He joins us this week on Crime Story, providing updates on the investigation, including a recent arrest.  For ad-free listening to Crime Story, subscribe to CBC's True Crime channel on Apple Podcasts.

    Sharon Johnson’s family has spent decades coping with her brutal murder. But what if the story they were told is a lie? What if the man imprisoned for her murder is innocent?

    AUDIENCE FAVOURITE — Bikram: Fitness Guru or Con Artist?

    In the early 2000s, Bikram Yoga spread across North America like wildfire. It was a multi-billion dollar business, spurred on by its eccentric founder, Bikram Choudhury. Choudhury was as close to yoga royalty as you could get and was unafraid to hide it. But according to some of his own students, his empire was built upon blood, sweat and tears – as well as a few critical lies. Reporter Julia Lowrie Henderson practiced Bikram Yoga for nearly a decade and joins Crime Story to discuss the scandal that rocked her yoga community. Note: This episode contains difficult subject matter, including references to sexual assault.   Crime Story is taking a quick summer break. We're back in September with all new episodes.

    AUDIENCE FAVOURITE — The Girlfriends: Doctor. Pilot. Murderer?

    When Carole Fisher met Bob Bierenbaum in 1989, he seemed like a catch. He was a Jewish doctor who spoke five languages, a gourmand who loved skiing, and a New Yorker who could fly planes. He was every Jewish mother’s dream. But there was something off about Bob. He could fly into a sudden rage and be distant and controlling. Carole sensed he was hiding something.

We're back in September with all new episodes.

    Fiasco Vigilante: When fear takes over 1980s New York, a subway shooter becomes a hero

    Bernie Goetz shot four Bronx teenagers on the subway in 1984 — and was celebrated as a national hero. New York was known as a dangerous place at the time. Locals who felt abandoned by police applauded Goetz for "taking the law into his own hands." Leon Neyfakh, host of Fiasco: Vigilante, investigates this era-defining story, exploring the paranoia of 1980s New York, the media culture that supported it, and its unsettling parallels to today.
