"Vergessene Verbrechen" ist ein True Crime History Podcast. Wir erzählen einmal pro Monat die Geschichten von echten Verbrechen aus dem 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Sie sind bei uns im Nordwesten, genauer: im Gebiet des ehemaligen Großherzogtums Oldenburg, passiert. Hinter den einzelnen Fällen stehen echte Menschen und ihre Schicksale. Es sind wahre Begebenheiten, die wir eng an den Quellen aus dem Niedersächsischen Landesarchiv, Abteilung Oldenburg nacherzählen.

A mother and her three young children are found hacked to death in their beds. The apparent weapons, an ax and butcher knife, are found nearby. A month later, the husband and father, who was away on a business trip when the bodies were found, is accused of the killings. A successful businessman and devoted member of a fundamentalist religious group, David Hendricks has the total support of his extended family. Police paint a darker picture, and prosecutors face the daunting task of convicting him on a case based on completely circumstantial evidence.

It's a case reminiscent of the explosive story of Susan Smith, convicted in the drownings of her two young sons in South Carolina.

Her three children do not.

Welkom in de sinistere wereld van seriemoordenaars, waar de dunne lijn tussen fictie en realiteit vervaagt.

Dit boek is een reis door de geheimzinnige gangen van de psychopathie, een poging om te begrijpen wat zich afspeelt in de hoofden van degenen die ervoor kiezen om onschuldigen te terroriseren.

One frosty winter morning in 1995, Jennifer Vogel opened the newspaper and read that her father had gone on the run. John Vogel, 52, had been arrested for single-handedly counterfeiting nearly $20 million in US currency - the fourth-largest sum ever seized by federal agents - and then had been released pending trial. Though Jennifer hadn’t spoken to her father in more than four years, the police suspected he might turn up at her Minneapolis apartment. She examined the shadows outside her building, and thought she spotted him at the grocery store and the bus stop.
