Today, we step into South Africa’s shadows—where opportunity became the perfect snare. Between 1994 and 1995, women searching for work were lured into the veld by the promise of jobs. What they found was terror, orchestrated by Moses Sithole, one of South Africa’s most infamous killers.

From the desperate hope of interviews to taunting phone calls and a sentence that stretched across centuries, this is the story of the “ABC Murders.”

A family slaughtered. A decorated doctor whose story never lined up. Decades of courtroom battles fought under a microscope. In this episode of Documented 187, Ayana Noir takes you into the case of Jeffrey MacDonald — the GreenBeret surgeon who insisted on his innocence even as the evidence whispered otherwise.

The questions remain: Was he a grieving husband, or a killer with a scalpel-sharp cover story?

🎙️ Listen now and slide into the shadows.

Three calls for help. One locked garage. Four gunshots. On September 8, 2021, a marriage ended in murder—and a family was shattered forever.

This is the story of Bree Kuhn, a Navy Chief, and Collin Turner, a retired Marine. A case that asks: does ‘Once a Chief, always a Chief’ still hold true when the anchors rest on someone convicted of murder?

Slide into the shadows.

A landlady with kind eyes and steady hands… but a backyard that told a different story. Dorothea Puente’s crimes left families broken and neighbors haunted.
