3 GRUESOME Centuries Old Cold Cases That Haunt Us... 01.06.2026 18min

It can be easy today to take police investigative techniques and forensic technology for granted. But back in the 1800s, not even fingerprinting was utilised, never mind DNA analysis and the M-Vac system; which today is an invaluable tool to forensic investigators. As a result of this lack of technology, cases were often solved by witnesses and confessions, though many investigations never saw any resolution at all. In today’s video, we’ll be looking at a few examples of such inquiries, as we examine three gruesome 19th-century cases that were never solved.

The Ripper Crew: The Scariest Satanic Cult Imaginable | True Crime Documentary 29.05.2026 24min

Illinois is no stranger to violent criminals. From John Wayne Gacy to HH Holmes, the midwestern state has seen the rise of some of the worst, most heinous offenders. But perhaps one of the most terrifying stories to hang over Illinois is that of the Ripper Crew, a group of men who terrorized the state’s streets during the 1980s, and preyed on vulnerable, unaccompanied women.The Ripper Crew was made up of four men. Robin Gecht, born in 1953; Edward Spreitzer, born in 1961; and two brothers, Andrew and Thomas Kokoraleis. Thomas had been born in 1961, and his younger brother followed two years later. From the outside, it appeared that the men bonded over a shared interest in carrying out torture and mutilation; their disturbed minds were motivated by a bizarre and depraved ritual they carried out inside what Gecht described as their “satanic chapel.” But according to three of the Crew, they were only following Gecht’s orders, afraid of what he would do to them if they said no.

The Most DISTURBING Female Serial Killer of The 19th Century... 15.05.2026 19min

During the 19th century, it was all too commonplace to see alternative medicines being offered as cure-alls for ailments suffered by the general public. The dangerous poison strychnine was handed out as a performance enhancer for athletes; heroin was presented as a fix for unwell children and cocaine was used to treat alcoholism, with Sigmund Freud himself calling the substance a “magical drug.” It was widely available in powder form, wines and soft drinks. Thankfully, in 2023, medicine has come a long way. But back then, science was of course not so advanced and the general public didn’t have access to information the way we do today. As a result, they were often misinformed and relied on those who sold themselves as doctors. One of the most nightmarish figures of the late 19th and early 20th century who masqueraded as a health professional was a woman by the name of Linda Hazzard.
