The Irish Vanishing Triangle. In the 1990's women in the eastern corner of Ireland started vanishing without a trace. What was happening? Is this just a bunch of women taken from their family and friends by random happenstance, or was there a serial killer operated. The Garda made many mistakes, and only very late in the cycle created a task force, but it was too little too late for 12 women.

Alfred Dreyfus. In this true crime world we hear terms like “Miranda rights” or “Amber Alert” or a “Dreyfus case”. These names come from true life situations and as we invoke their names, we should hear their stories. Here is the story of Alfred Dreyfus, who endured anti-Semitism and a wrongful conviction. He was later exonerated, but not before his whole life was destroyed.
