31: Ten Countries, Ten Mysteries: International True Crime -- Part 2 of 2 Ding Dong Darkness Time
-
- Society & Culture
We're wrapping up our global tour of the Top 10 Ding Dong Countries by bringing you a mystery from the final five. What are they? Well... we'll leave you to listen and find out, but they do all have one thing in common: GERMANY IS EVERYWHERE.
This episode is bringing you Van Gogh (murder or suicide?), a possible cryptic code to a mysterious homicide (YOGTZE), a pair of wicked coin heists, the possible identification of the Somerton Man, and a mysterious woman's skeleton in a nightmarish tree.
Pack your bags, Ding Dongs. This is gonna be one helluva sojourn.
