By the age of 11, Bell had been convicted of both killings, becoming one of the youngest killers in British history.

For centuries, sailors have told stories of a mysterious ship doomed to roam the oceans forever. The legend of the Flying Dutchman is one of the oldest and most chilling maritime myths ever recorded. Said to appear during violent storms and thick sea fog, the ghostly vessel became a terrifying omen for crews crossing dangerous waters. From whispered sightings in the 1700s to reports involving royal passengers, experienced captains, and entire crews, the story has refused to disappear. Some believed it was a warning of disaster. Others claimed the ship was cursed, trapped between life and death for eternity. But where did the legend begin? Was there ever a real ship behind the tale, or did fear and isolation at sea create the perfect ghost story? In this episode, we explore the origins of the Flying Dutchman, the most famous sightings throughout history, and why this phantom ship still haunts popular culture today.

A trained physician and officer within the Nazi regime, Mengele carried out a series of so-called medical experiments on prisoners, actions that have since become some of the most widely condemned in modern history. After the war ended, he evaded capture for decades, moving across continents while international efforts to locate him continued. His disappearance, and the years he spent in hiding, added another layer to a story already defined by cruelty and unanswered questions. In this episode, we examine his early life, his role during the war, the global manhunt that followed, and how his legacy continues to shape discussions around ethics, accountability, and justice.

A young girl, later known as Genie, had spent most of her childhood in extreme isolation, cut off from the outside world during her most important developmental years. When she was finally found, her condition raised profound questions about language, human development, and the long-term effects of deprivation. Scientists, doctors, and researchers became deeply involved in her case, hoping to better understand what happens when a child grows up without normal social interaction. But alongside the scientific interest came ethical concerns, controversy, and ongoing debate about how her case was handled. In this episode, we explore Genie’s early life, her discovery, the intense attention that followed, and the lasting questions her story continues to raise today...

She had crossed an ocean in search of a better life. Instead, she was failed by every single adult who was supposed to protect her. In February 2000, Victoria Climbié died after months of unimaginable suffering at the hands of her great-aunt, Marie-Thérèse Kouao, and Kouao's partner, Carl Manning. She had been tortured, starved, and left to sleep in a bin bag in a freezing bath. What makes Victoria's story so devastating isn't just the cruelty of those who harmed her... it's the trail of missed opportunities. Social workers visited. Doctors examined her. A police child protection unit was involved. A church offered help. At every turn, the warning signs were there. At every turn, someone looked away. This is the story of Victoria Climbié.

THE DARKEST SERIES EVER. In the darker corners of the internet, few criminal cases have shocked investigators more than that of Peter Scully.

It was just another regular Tuesday afternoon in the city of Sunnyvale, California. The employees at ESL Incorporated were going about their day, blissfully unaware that their office building was about to become the scene of one of the most shocking shooting sprees in the state's history... Little did they know that, out in the carpark, sat a dangerous and vindictive ex-employee... One who felt scorned, rejected, belittled and very much ready to take his revenge... 39-year-old Richard Farley was sitting in a rented motorhome, plotting his malicious attack... Armed with an arsenal of weapons, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, and years of simmering obsession, he began his journey towards the office building... Farley forced his way inside, shooting multiple rounds indiscriminately at anything and anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in his path… His main target and apparently his ultimate motivation for this heinous attack was 26-year-old Laura Black. Farley had been instantly fixated with the young engineer from the moment he met eyes with her 4 years earlier… He professed his feelings for her several times - and he simply would not take “no” for an answer .
