5 cases

The Green Chain Killer

When Pauline Lasham told police her son Robert Napper had confessed to a rape near Plumstead Common, they checked their records, found nothing, and let it go — while the attacks along London's Green Chain Walk were only beginning.

The Kičevo Monster

In sleepy Kičevo, Macedonia, three older women were beaten and strangled between 2005 and 2008 — and mild-mannered local journalist Vlado Taneski covered the murders with an uncanny eye for details no reporter should have known.

Luminol and Lies

Bill Mowbray was Brownsville's flamboyant Cadillac king — lakeside mansion, beach condos, his face on TV commercials — and secretly drowning in debt. When a gunshot rang out in the couple's bedroom, the answer to what happened would hinge on chemical traces of blood.

The Beast of Buckland

For two years a predator the papers called the Beast of Buckland stalked the women of Portsmouth after dark. Then 24-year-old barmaid Linda Cook took the short way home — and police fixed on the wrong man.

The Thought Crime

NYPD officer Gilberto Valle had a wife, a baby daughter, and a spotless record. Then his wife looked at their shared laptop and found the conversations he was having after his shifts ended — about the women in his life.
