En un caluroso 22 de julio de 1975 en el Cortijo de Los Galindos, situado en Paradas, un pueblo de la campiña sevillana se cometió un terrible crimen en el que murieron cinco personas. Aquello supuso una verdadera conmoción para la España de la época. A pesar de decenas de años de investigación, el crimen jamás fue resuelto, dando pábulo a novelas, películas y a teorías disparatadas, donde casi siempre se acusaba a uno de los asesinados. Debido a la desastrosa investigación, hace ya más de 20 años que los crímenes prescribieron.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, nel triangolo fra Padova, Treviso e Venezia abitano alcuni degli uomini più feroci del terrorismo italiano. Hanno un disegno: spargere terrore per instaurare un regime militare autoritario, proprio come era accaduto in Grecia con il golpe dei colonnelli. Alle 16.37 del 12 dicembre 1969, a Milano, sotto il grande tavolo al centro della sala aperta al pubblico della Banca nazionale dell'Agricoltura esplode una bomba. Diciassette persone muoiono. Centinaia rimangono ferite. Da allora sono passati anni di inchieste e decine di sentenze.

Ventiquattro omicidi. Centodue feriti. La cruda contabilità della Uno bianca è quella di una strage. Novantuno rapine. Spesso per pochi spiccioli, per massacrare benzinai, zingari, extracomunitari, carabinieri, impiegati, semplici testimoni. Un eccidio pianificato. Una violenza bestiale per un rebus che pare senza soluzione. Un enigma complicato perché, questa volta, gli assassini vestono la divisa. Roberto Savi - ex attivista del Fronte della Gioventù, un uomo aggressivo, taciturno, schivo, che frequenta solo i fratelli e passa gran parte del suo tempo a giocare con i videogiochi.

151 cuchilladas. Con una crueldad desmedida asesinaron en Almonte a Miguel Ángel Domínguez, de 39 años, y a su hija María, de 8, en la intimidad de su domicilio el 27 de abril de 2013. Tras una larga investigación, la Unidad Central Operativa de la Guardia Civil (UCO) detuvo al compañero sentimental de Marianela Olmedo, esposa y madre de las víctimas, como presunto autor de la masacre. El juicio, celebrado en 2017 con jurado popular, terminó con la absolución del presunto asesino.

Hay historias que mejoran con el tiempo. Sobre todo si suceden en Italia, porque allí las ondas expansivas de las investigaciones judiciales son interestelares: rascas un poco y aparecen conspiraciones de película de serie B en las que no falta ningún elemento, desde grupos terroristas a tramas vaticanas. Parece muy sofisticado, pero no se engañen: la mafia es una fábula estúpida sin ningún glamour.

Wenn keine Spur zum Täter führt, wenn nichts mehr geht, wenn die Ermittlungen eingestellt werden müssen, dann spricht man von einem "Cold Case". Die Gerichtsakten der "kalten Fälle" vergilben in den Archiven der Ermittlungsbehörden, dicke, prall gefüllte Stehordner voller grausiger Details, mit Bildern blutbesudelter Leichen, zertrümmerter Schädel oder abgetrennter Körperteile. Und auf der letzten Seite findet sich stets der obligatorische Vermerk des Staatsanwalts: "Ein Täter konnte nicht ermittelt werden. Das Verfahren wird vorläufig eingestellt."

Stephan Harbort ist Kriminalhauptkommissar. Aus Gesprächen mit mehr als siebzig Serienmördern entwickelte er international angewandte Fahndungsmethoden zur Überführung von Gewalttätern.

Stephan Harbort, der auch als Berater bei TV-Dokumentationen und Krimiserien tätig ist, schildert die Verbrechen, die Ermittlungen und blickt in die psychischen Abgründe der Mörder.

Angy was an activist and spent her days collecting evidence for a commission of inquiry into policing that had the chance to change law enforcement across the country's troubled townships. She was vocal against vigilante violence and a go-to person when demanding better services from the police. But when the commission started its hearings, Angy found herself on trial for murdering - necklacing - a young neighbourhood troublemaker, Rowan du Preez.

On October 23, 1989, affluent businessman Charles Stuart made a frantic 911 call from his car to report that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife, Carol, a lawyer, had been robbed and shot by a Black male in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and the baby was soon lost as well. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community. Even more appalling, while the injuries were real, Stuart’s story was a hoax: He was the true killer.

Non è ancora finita. Lui (o lei) non è ancora riuscito a farla franca. Del resto non esistono delitti perfetti, solo delitti impuniti. Quindi mettiamoci al lavoro e ripartiamo, ancora una volta, da dove tutto è avvenuto. Torniamo sulla scena del crimine. Analizzando le migliaia di pagine riguardanti l'omicidio di Nada Cella, si potrebbe arrivare a pensare che molto sia stato fatto, che ogni pista sia stata seguita con scrupolo, che ogni indagine possibile sia già stata effettuata. Che, insomma, non ci sia altro da fare.

Diese Fälle machen uns sprachlos: Ein neunjähriges Mädchen ersticht eine gleichaltrige Klassenkameradin nach einem Streit um einen Ball. Ein zwölf Jahre altes Mädchen tötet - gemeinsam mit ihrem Freund - Vater, Mutter und Bruder, weil ihre Eltern mit der Beziehung nicht einverstanden gewesen sind. Auf Geheiß des Vaters ersticht ein Elfjähriger eine Greisin, die er vorher beraubt hat. Ein dreieinhalb Jahre alter Junge zieht seine Schwester (vier Monate) aus dem Kinderwagen und schlägt und tritt solange zu, bis der Säugling tot ist.

"Un drogato di merda. Un diverso. Un corpo a perdere. Uno di quelli di cui si dice, nel gergo di certi sbirri, che abbiano il nome all'anagrafe scritto a matita. Perché cancellarlo è un attimo. E nessuno verrà a reclamare." La morte di Stefano Cucchi è uno di quei fatti di cronaca che segnano una generazione e un pezzo di storia italiana.

Madrid, 1980. El asesinato de los marqueses de Urquijo, destacados miembros de la nobleza y las altas finanzas, conmociona al país. Entre los sospechosos, aristócratas y plebeyos. ¿Fue una venganza? ¿Hubo un móvil económico? ¿Se contrató a un sicario? ¿La CIA tuvo algo que ver o la clave del misterio se hallaba en el círculo más íntimo de las víctimas?

On June 7, 1998, James Byrd, Jr., a 49-year-old black man, was dragged to his death while chained to the back of a pickup truck driven by three young white men. It happened just outside of Jasper, a sleepy East Texas logging town that, within 24 hours of the discovery of the murder, would be inextricably linked in the nation's imagination to an exceptionally brutal, modern-day lynching. In this superbly written examination of the murder and its aftermath, award-winning journalist Joyce King brings us on a journey that begins at the crime scene.

Ob Italien, Kolumbien oder Vietnam - wie ein Indiana Jones der Kriminalbiologie wird Mark Benecke in die verschiedenen Länder dieser Welt gerufen, um dunkle Geheimnisse aufzuspüren, brutale Morde und unerklärliche Tötungen zu untersuchen. Dabei begegnet er korrupten Polizeibeamten und trifft auf skrupellose Mörder. Ein ganz besonderer Fall sind die Mumien, die in einem Kapuzinerkloster in Palermo aufgefunden werden. Hunderte, vielleicht tausende.

In The Mysterious Murder of JFK's Mistress, Ron Rosenbaum investigates the murder of Mary Pinochet Meyer, whose affair with President John F. Kennedy became tabloid fodder, and who was found shot to death on October 12, 1964.

On a frigid February evening in 1805, Amos Babcock brutally murdered Mercy Hall. Believing that he was being instructed by God, Babcock stabbed and disemboweled his own sister before dumping her lifeless body in a rural New Brunswick snowbank. This is the tragic and fascinating story of how isolation, duplicity, and religious mania turned impoverished, hardworking people violent, leading to a murder and an execution.

Just after midnight on April 21, 1842, John McLoughlin, Jr. - the chief trader for the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Stikine, in the northwest corner of the territory that would later become British Columbia - was shot to death by his own men. They claimed it was an act of self-defence, their only means of stopping the violent rampage of their drunk and abusive leader. Sir George Simpson, the HBC's Overseas Governor, took the men of Stikine at their word, and the Company closed the book on the matter.
