Ep. 10 - The Suwon Murder

A case 10 years in the making and extremely bone chilling. The Suwon Murder case caused a major distrust in Police because the public felt like they couldn't be protected due to an extreme lack of action on Korean Police. The murderer himself was speculated to be a possible serial killer as well. This is the story of the Suwon Murder.

Episode 9 - Kim Daedo

Kim Daedo is sometimes referred to as the first serial killer in South Korea. While that may be up for debate depending on who you talked to, his months long terror reign shook down the impoverished community he came from.

Episode 8 - The Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard

This is one case I have heavily invested myself into. Jaycee Dugard is the definition of strength. She survived 18 years at the hands of her abusers and came out a fighter despite having her childhood stolen from her.

The issue with Child Marriage is nothing new, but I found a case that actually caused my home state to institute new legislation over it and even to this day, it is still a hot topic. This is the story of Eunice Winstead.

A case 13 years thus far in the making. Brittanee was just 17 when she went on a Spring Break vacation to Myrtle Beach and went missing.
Our hearts go out to Brittanee's mother, father, step-father, family, and friends. We can only hope they manage to find some form of healing through this time.
