    It was a quiet morning in Surrey, British  Columbia, on the 10th of December, 2014. A woman living in a quiet cul-se-sac heard a knock on her front door. She opened it up to find a woman there she didn’t recognise. She stank of alcohol, and asked her to call 911.

    On the morning of the 18th of November, 1987, a brown Ford van pulled up to the ferry terminal in Victoria, British Columbia. Inside were two teenagers. They were heading to Seattle to pick up a furnace. It was supposed to be a simple overnight trip…

    In March 1943, a young mother calmly told her husband she had killed their baby. When police arrived at the small Los Angeles home, what they discovered would expose a medical crisis that 1940s medicine had no language to describe - and reveal how little anyone understood about what could happen to a woman's mind after childbirth.

    It was just after 2AM on 23 February, 2019, when guests spilled out of Venu nightclub in Boston, Massachusetts. There was a young woman standing barefoot. She climbed into an Uber before she was pushed back out. The ride wasn’t hers. She was unaware of it at the time, but a man was watching.

    On Christmas Day 2024, families across Britain gathered in homes decorated with twinkling lights and wreaths, settling in for an evening of festive films and leftover turkey. Along Santa Cruz Avenue in Bletchley, the sounds of celebration drifted through thin walls. But just after 5PM, those sounds were shattered by something else entirely. Screaming pierced through the cheerful facade. Then a woman emerged on a balcony. She was covered in blood as she screamed: “I can’t breathe!”

    The community of Oregon City came together early in 2002 to search for a missing girl. Everybody had their own theory; some believed she ran away. But then three months later, another girl from the same apartment complex disappeared. Somewhere among them lived a predator…

    Dawn was breaking over a quiet suburban street in Coquitlam when Ed Field heard the first pop. Half-asleep, he wondered if he'd imagined it. Then came another. And another. From his bedroom window, he watched two figures moving through the house across the street, one chasing the other through rooms blazing with light.

    It was October 2012 in the quiet town of Clayton, New Jersey, when a 12-year-old girl climbed onto her prized BMX bike and rode off into the fading daylight. She promised to be home by her usual 8PM curfew. But as the hours stretched on and the porch light burned, there was no sign of her return.
