About this listen

We are back.

Jeff tells the story of the 2003 Antwerp Diamond Heist, one of the largest and most sophisticated diamond robberies in history. Often called the “Heist of the Century,” the crime targeted the Antwerp Diamond Center in Belgium and exposed shocking security vulnerabilities in what was believed to be one of the most secure vaults in the world.

Sam shares the story of the Mapleton Murder on the Brighton Line, a chilling railway murder investigated by British authorities. The case would become one of the most disturbing crimes in railway history.
