Ep. 28: The Hinterkaifeck Murders

This week it's back to the world of the grim and unsolved, as Sean takes us through the facts of one of the most chilling unsolved crimes in German history - the Hinterkaifeck murders.
On the night of March 31, 1922, on a remote farm outside of Munich, a family of five and their maid were murdered in cold blood with a pickaxe. Most strangely, their killer appears to have lived on the farm, with the bodies of his victims, for three days after the crime.
Was this the gruesome act of a wandering maniac? A psychopathic robbery gone wrong? Or were some of the skeletons in the Gruber family's closet coming home to roost in murderous fashion?
