    94 | The Vampire of Kraków: Karol Kot and the Murders That Shocked Poland
    Apr 18 2026
    In 1960s Kraków, Poland, a string of random, brutal stabbings shocked the city and left police hunting a killer with no apparent motive. At first, nobody suspected Karol Kot; a polite, intelligent teenager hiding an obsession with knives and violence. The two murders and multiple attempted murders he committed would earn him the nickname ‘The Vampire of Kraków.’

    93 | The Murderess of Newington Butts: The Strange Case of Agnes Norman
    Apr 11 2026
    In Victorian London, 15-year-old Agnes Norman was working as a nursemaid when a 14-month-old girl in her care died suddenly and mysteriously. When suspicions were raised, police uncovered a disturbing pattern. Over the previous three years, Agnes had worked in several households, and each time, a string of sudden deaths – children and pets alike - followed in her wake. Was it cold-blooded murder, or a stunningly tragic coincidence?
