In 1987, two young women were murdered in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, in crimes that became known as the Bedsit Murders.

In the summer of 1984, Alton Coleman and Debra Brown travelled across six Midwestern states, leaving a trail of murders, abductions, and violent attacks.

In 1999, a series of murders shattered the apparent safety of Yosemite and left investigators searching for a killer.

On 4th December 1972, 7-year-old Steven Stayner left school in Merced, California, planning to visit his best friend after finishing his chores at home. He never made it there.

In 2007, police in Bihar sat across from an 8-year-old boy named Amarjeet Sada. He spoke very little, smiled often, and asked for a biscuit.

Police were questioning him about the disappearance and death of 6-month-old Khushboo Devi.
