Season 1 - The Crystal Cave Murders
Embark on an investigative true crime podcast exploring one of Switzerland's most mysterious, horrific, and perplexing unsolved murder cases. This chilling cold case continues to stir and baffle a nation even four decades later. The crime shattered a once peaceful and quaint village and its surrounding region overnight, plunging it into a traumatic state that reverberates to this day.
Season 2 - The Seewen Murder Mystery
A gripping true crime podcast delving into Switzerland’s most talked-about and perplexing murder case. Five family members ruthlessly murdered in cold blood, executed with chilling precision. Shot at point-blank range in the forehead, none of the victims resisted or attempted to escape. This crime bears a haunting resemblance to a Mafia contract killing, and its motives continue to elude the police, shrouded in mystery to this day.
Season 3 - The Belshaw Case
On December 3, 1980, Canadian professor Cyril Belshaw stood trial in the city of Aigle, Switzerland charged with the murder of his wife, Betty. Her body had been discovered 21 months earlier, along a remote Swiss mountain pass not far from where the couple spent a sabbatical. Odd: Just two months before her remains were found, Belshaw had reported her missing, claiming they had been visiting Paris at the time of her disappearance. Some things just did not add up.
