Have you heard about the hostage situation that took place in 1988 in Gladbeck, Germany? If not, buckle up, you are in for a very wild ride! One that the hostages could probably never have imagined finding themselves in. The criminals attempt to rob a branch of the Deutsch bank in Gladbeck, North-Rhine Westphalia, and the resulting run from the bank turns into sort of a mashup of Speed meets Taken...only there's no Liam Neeson in sight to save them. Tragic and terrifying, the situation played out almost like a Hollywood movie. In fact, the media covered every minute in great detail, prompting questions and reformed laws on how hostage situations are covered and handled by reporters in the future.....

EP 88: Creepy Twins
8 RecommendationsWe are seeing double this week as we cover two cases of very strangely behaved twins. Kelsey covers the Spahalski twins, Stephen & Robert, who seem to share more than just genes with each other. Then, Alanna walks us through the bizarre story of Ursula & Sabina Eriksson, who suddenly began acting strange and caused a huge scene on a highway, before one of them eventually murdered someone. At what point does twin telepathy go too far, and can one twin's illness or murderous impulses be caught by the other? We explore these questions and more during this week's ep. Happy Listening!

Ep. 90 Hostage Crisis Crimes - Stockholm, Sweden
5 RecommendationsWelcome to part 2 of our hostage crisis episodes. This week Alanna takes a deep dive into the origins of the term Stockholm Syndrome. What starts as a bizarre bank robbery transitions into a hard situation for police to handle when hostages begin to take the side of the criminals. Is it a real thing, or has the term been applied a few too many times? We discuss this and more in the exciting conclusion for one of our wildest ep topics yet. Happy listening!
