Doubt In The Details

This is the second and final episode of this story. In the summer of 1990, 18‑year‑old Stine Geisler was found murdered in a basement in central Copenhagen. Her killing became the third in a terrifying sequence, six women murdered within months of each other and all unsolved. For a city known for its 90% solve rate, it became one of the darkest period in police history. Suddenly, Copenhagen, a place where homicide rarely went unsolved, was facing six murders with no arrests.

In part two of Stine Geisler’s case, we examine the many suspects, and the forensic eviden...

In this series, we revisit the events inside the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital, where a pattern of sudden collapses and unexplained deaths began to emerge. It looks at the early timeline of the Lucy Letby case, including the first infant deaths, the concerns raised by doctors, and the wider pressures on the neonatal unit. It considers how medical records, staff accounts, hospital reviews, and disputed patterns shaped the way events were understood.

In April 1989, the small community of Lakeville, Indiana woke to a crime that shattered its sense of safety. Inside the Pelley family home, four people were found dead. The murders would become one of the most debated cases in the Indiana’s history. Detectives took immediate interest in Jeff, the son. “Jeff was the only one unaccounted for. That made him our starting point.” Cold case investigator Martin Ryans  explained. But a starting point is not evidence. And in this case, the gap between suspicion and proof would become the center of a debate that continues to this day.

Tamla Horsford, a 40‑year‑old mother of five, attends a birthday sleepover in Forsyth County, Georgia, and never makes it home. When she is found dead the next morning, the investigation that follows raises immediate concerns: conflicting statements, missing photographs, uncollected evidence and a timeline that never quite holds together. In this episode, we examine the investigation, the inconsistencies and the broader context of Forsyth County, asking what it means when an official conclusion leaves behind more uncertainty than resolution.

Part Two examines that aftermath: the police statements released in the immediate hours after the shooting, the contradictions that emerged, and the legal and institutional consequences that followed. We’ll look at the investigations, the inquest, and the long fight Jean’s family faced as they tried to understand how an innocent man could be killed by the police and why no individual officer was ever held personally responsible.

This is the part of the story where the focus shifts from the chaos of the operation to the systems behind it.

This is the story of how an innocent man was followed into a crowded train where he was fatally shot in front of multiple witnesses.

In the tense weeks after the 7/7 London bombings, the city was on edge. Police were operating at the highest threat level the UK had ever seen, racing to identify the men behind a second wave of attempted attacks. In this atmosphere of fear and urgency, a surveillance operation began at a small block of flats in Tulse Hill. An operation that would spiral into one of the worst failures in modern British...

In 2002, a house fire in Zeeland, Michigan leaves 14-year-old Robin Boes dead. Within hours, investigators suspect arson and attention turns to her mother, Karen Boes.

After a 10-hour interrogation and a failed polygraph, Karen confesses. But she repeatedly says she doesn’t remember starting the fire.

24 years later, in 2026, the question remains: Did Karen Boes kill her daughter — or was she broken into believing she did?
