It is the ultimate, closed-room mystery. 

94-years-ago, on March 12th of 1932, one of the richest men in the world, Ivar Kreuger, went into his Paris apartment.   He never came out again.

At first, his death was declared a suicide and the authorities quickly burnt his body - despite orders to the contrary.   Then thirty-three years later Ivar Kreuger's brother, mistress, and many others, came forward to say his death was murder....

Dear Friends of CrimeWaves,

A change for this week's episode - an interview I did with the Protectors Podcast on the threat that gambling poses to US Sports.  The headline is that US Sports Leagues are dancing with the devil.  All the money they got from bookmakers seemed very seductive but there are more and more scandals linked to betting.  Now, it is perfectly reasonable for a good-faith sports fan to doubt the integrity of ...

In the Jeffrey Epstein document release by the US Department of Justice, there is one HUGE document that adds significantly to the case for the potential murder of Epstein. 

On July 29, 2019 - 3.5 weeks after Epstein had ended the hell-hole of a detention center, his lawyers reached out to the Federal Prosecutors saying that their client was willing to consider flipping. In other words, Epstein was considering naming more powerful p...

This is the best investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death.   

Almost every other examination of his death promotes a political or social agenda. Read the New York Times?  They will feed you the version that Epstein mysteriously killed himself and anything else is a diet of ‘misinformation’ and you are a moron for questioning the official narrative.  Note - the official narrative leaves out that the prison was appalling c...

Matoaka Pocahontas, the legendary daughter of Powhatan, has been one of the most misunderstood stories in American history. 

The last chapter of her life is particularly intriguing.  

She was sent to England to meet King James Ist.  It was part investment trip for the Virginia colonies. Part a spy trip for her father to check out his potential enemies.

Matoaka Pocahontas was relatively well-treated by the English Royal Court...

They call it a serial killer's graveyard. 

A lonely stretch of rural highway in Connecticut, where half a dozen women and a man were murdered and their bodies dumped. 

It was a yesteryear story. A nightmare hanging over from the 1990s:  unsolved, unresolved, and the killer still uncaught. 

Until three years ago, when the same thing happened, a young woman's body was discovered in exactly the same place...

Jennifer Dulos, a mother of five, disappeared one morning. She dropped off her children at school and then was gone.

She was in the middle of a heated divorce with her glamorous, and seemingly-wealthy husband.  Then on Friday, May 24, 2019 - at approximately 8:30 a.m. she vanished without a trace. 

The Connecticut police faced a seemingly impossible task: how to investigate a murder with no body.
