13-year-old Dario Cicolecchia disappeared from a small Swiss village in 1993. His body was later found in a cornfield, with signs of sexual violence. There was no apparent evidence at the scene, but microscopic examination revealed diatoms - single-celled organisms that live in and around water. Could the tiny diatoms help investigators solve the case? Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).

18 - Mic Drop Jerry

A series of bombings rocked Salt Lake City in 1985. First, businessman Steve Christensen was killed by a bomb left outside of his office. Then Kathy Sheets was killed by a similar bomb at her home. At first, the motive appeared to be business - the second bomb was addressed to Kathy’s husband Gary Sheets, former business partner of Steve. When a third bomb went off, injuring documents dealer Mark Hofmann, the case became more complicated. Investigators would soon find themselves unraveling a web of forgeries and cover-ups, using forensic document examination to crack the case. Hosts: Colleen O’Brien, Erica White. Audio Supervisor: Tommy O’Brien. Theme Music: 'The Drama' by Rafael Krux (orchestralis.net).
