    Episode 3: A Treat Before Sunrise  Somosierra Pass, Spain. June 25th, 1986. On a mountain road north of Madrid, a truck carrying twenty thousand litres of sulphuric acid comes off the road at speed. One passenger is never accounted for. A ten-year-old boy, last seen eating breakfast before sunrise, vanishes without a trace — leaving behind a case that has baffled investigators for nearly four decades. This is the story of the Boy of Somosierra. ***** Sources: https://www.rd.com/list/mysterious-disappearances-no-one-can-explain/https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/cold-cases.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_disappeared_mysteriously:_1990%E2%80%93presenthttps://www.quora.com/Missing-People-What-are-some-of-the-most-mysterious-cases-of-unsolved-disappearanceshttps://www.ranker.com/list/people-who-disappeared-mysteriously/alby-thompsonhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/3pjs22/missing_boy_of_somosierra_the_strangest_vanishing/ ***** Music & Sound Credits: truck brakes.flac by tim.kahn -- https://freesound.org/s/22885/ -- License: Attribution 4.0Large Crash.wav by CGEffex -- https://freesound.org/s/99960/ -- License: Attribution 4.0Renault Master F3500 dCi135 Exterior Sudden Stop And Acceleration Mono Follow.wav by Soundholder -- https://freesound.org/s/425849/ -- License: Attribution 3.0A Short Piece Of Machinery by freekit -- https://freesound.org/s/719912/ -- License: Attribution 4.0BUSY STREET CROWD AMBIENCE EXT BARCELONA 11 SEPT 2015 RADIO IN BACKGROUND.wav by marsal.oido -- https://freesound.org/s/415836/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 P.S.

    When Trails Go Cold | S1E2 | The Miyazawa Family

    Episode 2: The House Where He Stayed Tokyo. December 30th, 2000. On a cold winter night in Tokyo, someone slips into a house - and leaves behind a trail unlike anything detectives have ever seen. DNA. Fingerprints. Clothing. He eats. He rests. He uses the computer. He moves through the space as if he belongs there. And then, before morning, he’s gone. And his DNA becomes the forensic profile of a ghost. For more than two decades, investigators have known exactly what he left behind. They just don’t know who he is. This is the story of one of the most complete pictures ever built of a suspect, and how he somehow still managed to vanish. ***** Sources: https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Suspect+stayed+at+Setagaya+home+half+day+after+murders.-a076444278 https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1l0htbn/one_of_japans_creepiest_unsolved_case_the/ https://www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/5-of-japans-most-famous-unsolved-crimes/ https://mainichi.jp/articles/20220418/osg/00m/040/001000d https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/multilingual/english/safe_society/wanted/seijo.files/eng.pdf https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2004/10/16/national/symbolic-statue-found-near-scene-of-murders-cops-probe-connection/ "Setagaya family murders remain unsolved 17 years later" Music & Sound Credits: Large City Park Distant Summer Ambience by _MC5_ -- https://freesound.org/s/702751/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0Ambience in the kitchen by 140178sound -- https://freesound.org/s/325626/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 3.0AMBHome-Tascam X6_Experience the warmth and gentle rhythm of_TheFieldRecordist - RNajmeddine_Ramadan Kitchen_20250306 by TheFieldRecordist -- https://freesound.org/s/792228/ -- License: Attribution 4.0A quiet day after a winter storm by sniffin_fer_sounds -- https://freesound.org/s/843336/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 Hosted on Acast.
