A Dose Of: The Lake Bodom Murders Part 1

On June 5, 1960, at Lake Bodom, 15-year-old Maila Irmeli Björklund and Anja Tuulikki Mäki and 18-year-old Seppo Antero Boisman were killed by stabbing and blunt-force trauma to their heads. 18 years old, Nils Gustafsson, was found outside of the tent with broken facial bones and stab wounds, but he survived the ordeal. 44 years later he was arrested for the murders, but later acquitted of all charges. There have been three other main suspects, but no one was ever officially arrested for the crime. In this episode we go through the details of the horrendous killings, the investigation and the arrest of Nils Gustafsson.  Music Credits: Dylan Owen - https://youtu.be/Uk5zngU-aAE Noel Malekar - https://youtu.be/dZm3qZPLAZ8

A Dose Of: The Dyatlov Pass Incident Part 2

Into the night. Dead by morning. In this episode we talk about the Dyatlov Pass Incident where nine Russian hikers died in the northern Ural Mountains between 1 and 2 February 1959.   They were: Igor Alekseyevich Dyatlov, Yuri Nikolayevich Doroshenko, Lyudmila Alexandrovna Dubinina, Georgiy (Yuri) Alexeyevich Krivonischenko, Alexander Sergeyevich Kolevatov, Zinaida Alekseevna Kolmogorova, Rustem Vladimirovich Slobodin, Nikolai Vladimirovich Thibeaux-Brignolles, Semyon (Alexander) Alekseevich Zolotaryov, Yuri Yefimovich Yudin (who survived). In part two we discuss the two main theories: the possibility that the hikers were killed by an avalanche or sinister Russian experiments.   "Later, when they sat around the campfire for their evening meal, Sharavin produced the flask of vodka that he’d found in the tent and proposed a toast to the health of the Dyatlov group. “We shared it out between us – there were 11 of us, including the guides,” he recalls.  “We were about to drink it when one guy turned to me and said, ‘Best not drink to their health, but to their eternal peace.’"  Part 3 coming soon.   Sources include:  https://dyatlovpass.com/page.php?language_id=1&id=12786 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/SoLiOdJyCK/mystery_of_dyatlov_pass  Music Credits: Dylan Owen - https://youtu.be/Uk5zngU-aAE Noel Malekar - https://youtu.be/dZm3qZPLAZ8

A Dose Of: The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam

In this episode we discuss the mysterious death of Elisa Lam in 2013. Her body was found on the morning of February 19th, inside the water tank on the roof of the Cecil Hotel. Her death was ruled as drowning with bipolar disorder being a contributing factor. It seemed to be a clear cut decision. However, we don't accept this verdict. It is clear that whatever happened was more complicated and perhaps more sinister. At 'A Dose Of' we don't accept anything being just black and white. We're going to delve into the grey bits, the ones that someone doesn't want to be revealed. Join us as we go through the case and theories to try and understand what happened that day to Elisa Lam and how she ended up losing her life in the Cecil, a hotbed for murder and misfortune.
