202. The Gangster and the Juror: Gillian Guess & Peter Gill
By the mid-1990s, Vancouver’s Indo-Canadian underworld was no longer operating quietly. Young gangsters were threatening each other on television. Brothers were being shot in traffic and left dead in alleyways. Their names were becoming larger than the crimes attached to them, turning into a strange mixture of warning, legend and aspiration. But one of the most extraordinary stories from that world did not begin with a drug deal, a revenge killing or a man walking into a nightclub with a gun. It began inside a courtroom where six men stood trial for executing two brothers at the centre of Vancouver’s growing gang war. Outside it, bodies were continuing to fall. This is the story of a juror, a gangster and a murder trial that became almost as scandalous as the underworld it was supposed to judge. This is the story of Gillian Guess, Peter Gill, Bindy Johal and the Dosanjh Brothers.

199. Murder on Barker Street | Tay Lyang & Tony Chuan
In September 2003, three young Singaporean students were sharing an ordinary apartment in Sydney. They were far from home, studying in Australia, living the kind of life that many international students know well. But one morning, inside their apartment, everything changed. Two of them would never make it out alive. At first, the case seemed to point outward-- to strange sightings and possible intruders. But as investigators looked closer, the story became far more complicated. Timelines shifted. Suspicions changed. And a case that seemed like it should have a clear answer became one of the most unsettling double-murder mysteries in Sydney. This is the case of Tay Chow Lyang, Tony Poh Chuan and Ram Puneet Tiwary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When investigators entered her home, what they found inside would turn this disappearance into one of the most chilling cases connected to the Indian community in the Netherlands.

197. The Lohagad Murder | Ketan Agarwal & Siya Goyal
A boy from a big Pune business family, a girl about to marry into it, and a wedding being built on a scale that barely sounded real. Then Ketan Agarwal went over the edge of Lohagad Fort near Lonavala, and for 5 days it stayed exactly what it looked like: a tragic trekking accident. But his fiancée Siya Goyal, a man in a hoodie named Chetan Chaudhary, 2004 phone calls, and a string of earlier attempts nobody saw coming turned this into one of the most disturbing cases India has followed in 2026. We break down every credible thread the police have pulled so far in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, and trust us, this one is stranger than fiction.

196. The Santa Serial Killer | Bruce McArthur
For years, men were disappearing from Toronto’s Gay Village. Some were immigrants. Some were refugees. Some were South Asian or Middle Eastern men living complicated, private lives in a city that was supposed to offer them freedom. They moved through bars, dating apps, friendships, and chosen families — until, one by one, they seemed to vanish. At first, there were rumours. Then there was fear. People in the community warned each other that something was wrong, that someone was targeting men who were already easy for the world to overlook. But the warnings were dismissed for far too long. This is the story of how a city’s most vulnerable men went missing in plain sight, and how the truth, when it finally came out, exposed a killer more ordinary than the men who walk beside you every day. This is the story of Bruce McArthur.

194. The Ripper of Kerala | K P Jayanandan
Watch Brown on Zee5 TODAY!https://www.zee5.com/web-series/details/brown/0-6-4z5968730 For a village in the suburbs of Ernakulam, the morning of October 3rd, 2006 arrived with a smell of kerosene and a scene so brutal that the whole country would soon be talking about it. In the weeks that followed, a name would surface. A name that became folklore, the kind of name parents used to frighten children, the kind the newspapers printed in the heightened language usually saved for natural disasters. They called him the Ripper. The trouble is, twenty years from the crime, nobody can tell you for certain whether he actually did it. This is a story about a monster or it’s the story about how a country builds one when it needs one. This is the story of the Ripper of Kerala.

193. The USF Double Murder | Nahida Bristy & Zamil Limon
On April 13, 2026, somewhere in Tampa, Florida, a 26 year old American man typed a question into ChatGPT. What happens if a human has put a black garbage bag and thrown in a dumpster. The chatbot told him it sounded dangerous. He typed back. How would they find out. Three days later, two Bangladeshi doctoral students at the University of South Florida — two young people who were quietly planning to spend the rest of their lives together — would disappear. This is the story of Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, and the machine that, allegedly, was asked to help plan their deaths.

192. Vanishing in Parvati Valley | Justin Alexander Shetler
In 2016, a man who was equal parts survivalist and seeker, a man who traded a six-figure tech career for a life in the wilderness, a man who was phenomenal at surviving in nature, disappeared in it forever. This is the story of that man. But this is also the story of the Parvati Valley—a sliver of the Indian Himalayas so staggeringly beautiful and so consistently deadly that the list of people who have walked in and never walked out reads less like a police register and more like a haunting. And it is the story of a phenomenon called India syndrome, a kind of spiritual psychosis that has been quietly consuming Western travelers in India for decades, blurring the line between enlightenment and madness, between choosing to disappear and being disappeared. This is the story of Justin Alexander Shetler.

191. The Tragic Death of Matthew Perry
On October 28, 2023, the world woke up to the news that one of the most beloved sitcom actors in television history was found face-down in his hot tub. Matthew Perry. Chandler Bing. 54 years old. The initial assumption was simple: a troubled man, a long battle with addiction, a tragic but unsurprising end. But the investigation that followed pulled at a thread that unraveled something far bigger than one man's overdose. Behind that body in that hot tub was a supply chain so elaborate, so layered, that it involved 2 doctors, a middleman, a personal assistant, and at its center, a woman who operated out of a North Hollywood apartment with a gold money-counting machine and a clientele list that read like a Hollywood afterparty. This is the story of the ketamine network that pervades Hollywood, and the kingpin that sits atop it. Except in this case, it's a queen. The Ketamine Queen. This is the story of Jasveen Sangha.

190. Murder on Reality TV | The Villupuram Case
In a small village in Tamil Nadu, three people walked into a house in 2008 and were never seen again. No missing persons report was ever filed. No investigation was ever launched. For four years, the world moved on and a family ate dinner every night literally above the truth of those 3 missing people. What finally brought it to the surface wasn't a detective or a tip or a breakthrough in forensics. It was a reality TV show. A reality show where, one may afternoon, the cameras rolled, the conversation began. And then, under the searing studio lights, in front of a live audience, on a show whose title promises that whatever is said will be the truth, a 17 year old girl named Bhargavi began to speak. What she said went on to crack open a triple murder that has been lying buried for four years, literally buried, in the soil outside her own home. This is the story of those 3 missing people, that one reality TV show, and that one 17 year old girl with the courage to crack it open. This is the story of the Villupuram Triple Murder Case.

189. The Fairfax Family Massacre
February 23, 2026. Fairfax County, Virginia. It is 5 in the morning and it has been snowing. A young police officer, Nicholas Brazones, is walking toward an apartment building in the suburbs. Dispatch has told him almost nothing: domestic assault, 2 victims. He has handled these calls before. You show up, you separate the parties, you take statements, you file a report. Most of the time, the situation has already cooled by the time you arrive. Most of the time, nobody is actively dying when you open the door. This is not most of the time. What Nicholas is about to walk into, what his bodycam is about to record, is a scene that the Fairfax County Police Chief will later describe as "beyond imagination." A scene he will call a "bloodbath." This is the story of a family that came to America from Nepal looking for a better life, and found something no one could have predicted on a quiet suburban street in Virginia. This is the story of the Thapa family.

188. The Pramod Mahajan Murder
April 2006. Pramod Mahajan is 56 years old. He is the organizational brain of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The man who brought the BJP into the digital age. The man who brokered the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that conquered Maharashtra. The man who organized Advani's Ram Rath Yatra. The man who, as India's Telecom Minister, helped put a mobile phone in every Indian's pocket. Corporate India courts him. Delhi's power corridors bend around him. He is being spoken about, in hotel lobbies and drawing rooms across the capital, as a future Prime Minister. And for the last 6 months, astrologers have been calling him. One after another. All of them with the same warning: your life is in danger. From someone close to you. An insider. Pramod Mahajan ignores every single call. On April 22, a Saturday morning in Mumbai, Pramod sits in his Worli apartment with the morning newspaper. The doorbell rings. It is his younger brother Pravin. He is let inside. Tea is offered. And in 15 minutes, the most powerful political operative in India is on his living room floor, 3 bullets in his body, asking one question to his brother-in-law Gopinath Munde on the phone: "Mee asa kay gunha kela ki Pravin ne mala golya marlya?" What crime had I committed, that Pravin shot me?

187. The Murder of India's Badminton Star: Syed Modi
Every year, on a Thursday in December, the best badminton players in the world, from China, Indonesia, Japan, Denmark, arrive in Lucknow to compete in a tournament. Flags go up. Stadiums fill. A name echoes across the announcer's PA system, repeated hundreds of times over several days, until it becomes just background noise to the people who have heard it their whole lives. That name is Syed Modi. What the crowds in those stadiums rarely talk about--what the gleaming trophy and the BWF World Tour branding don’t mention--is that Syed Modi was twenty-five years old when two men shot him dead outside a stadium gate in Lucknow on a July evening in 1988. He was India's greatest badminton player of his era. He was a Railway employee's son from a sugar mill town nobody had ever heard of. He was a husband who was betrayed. He was a father--of a two-month-old daughter he would never see grow up. And then, one evening, he was a body in a pool of blood. This is the story of Syed Modi. And it is also the story of everything India let get away.
