    Ryan Kepner was lying in his bed in his apartment in the East Campus of the University of Missouri. It was some time around 3:30AM on the 5th of June, 2004, and he was trying to sleep. But then he heard some thumping noises coming from next door, followed by a man repeating: “Stop it. No.”

    Primm, Nevada was alive with neon and noise on 25 May, 1997, but inside the glittering casino, one small detail flickered across the security monitors - a little girl wandering alone. She slipped past rows of slot machines and bright carpet patterns, eventually disappearing into the women’s restroom. She never came back out.

    Norfolk Island hadn’t had a murder in over 150 years, but that all changed one stormy afternoon in 2002. Two tourists left their accommodation after the rainstorm had cleared. They headed to Cockpit Waterfall. On the floor near the barbecue area, something unnatural caught their attention…

    Gordon DeVries was driving through his property near Grand Haven, Michigan, on the afternoon of May 8th, 2002. About fifty yards off Winans Street, something unusual caught his eye. Thin gray smoke rising through the trees. And on the ground, something dark and misshapen, still smouldering…

    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.

    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.
