DEADLY INTENT Episode 1: The Hinterkaifeck Killings - The Watcher in the Attic
For weeks, Andreas Gruber heard footsteps in his attic. Footsteps that shouldn't have been there. He found mysterious tracks in the snow leading TO his farmhouse—but none leading away. On March 31st, 1922, someone had been living in their house. Someone had been watching them. And that someone was still there.
What happened at the remote Bavarian farmstead over 100 years ago remains one of history's most chilling unsolved mysteries. Six people brutally murdered with a pickaxe. But the killer didn't flee—they stayed for days, feeding livestock, cooking meals, even braiding a victim's hair.
Join host Carman Carrion as she explores the twisted psychology behind this calculated massacre. This wasn't random violence—this was someone who wanted to possess not just the family's belongings, but their entire existence. What kind of mind could live among the dead? And what drove them to want the Gruber family to suffer?
"Intent. It's what separates accident from murder, passion from premeditation, justice from revenge."
