When Trails Go Cold | S1 E4 | The Portbou Girl

Welcome back to When Trails Go Cold - a Cold Case podcast. Episode 4: The Girl in the Pine Tree. September 4th, 1990. Portbou, Spain. A young woman is found in a pine tree above a small Spanish border town. Her pockets are empty. Nobody in the town recognises her. Nobody anywhere reports her missing. She had, it seemed, arrived from nowhere. In this episode, we explore one of Europe's most haunting cold cases - and the thousand kilometres of unanswered questions that surround it. ***** Sources: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/apr/15/mystery-girl-found-hanged-spanish-border-town-portbou [https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/apr/15/mystery-girl-found-hanged-spanish-border-town-portbou] https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/vh9t44/young_woman_found_hanging_from_a_tree_in_portbou/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/vh9t44/young_woman_found_hanging_from_a_tree_in_portbou/] Evi Rauter | Unidentified Wiki - FandomUnidentified Wikihttps://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com › wiki › Evi...

Episode 2: The House Where He Stayed Tokyo. December 30th, 2000. On a cold winter night in Tokyo, someone slips into a house - and leaves behind a trail unlike anything detectives have ever seen. DNA. Fingerprints. Clothing. He eats. He rests. He uses the computer. He moves through the space as if he belongs there. And then, before morning, he’s gone. And his DNA becomes the forensic profile of a ghost. For more than two decades, investigators have known exactly what he left behind. They just don’t know who he is. This is the story of one of the most complete pictures ever built of a suspect, and how he somehow still managed to vanish. ***** Sources: https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Suspect+stayed+at+Setagaya+home+half+day+after+murders.-a076444278 [https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Suspect+stayed+at+Setagaya+home+half+day+after+murders.-a076444278] https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1l0htbn/one_of_japans_creepiest_unsolved_case_the/ [https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1l0htbn/one_of_japans_creepiest_unsolved_case_the/] https://www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/5-of-japans-most-famous-unsolved-crimes/ [https://www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/5-of-japans-most-famous-unsolved-crimes/] https://mainichi.jp/articles/20220418/osg/00m/040/001000d [https://mainichi.jp/articles/20220418/osg/00m/040/001000d] https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/multilingual/english/safe_society/wanted/seijo.files/eng.pdf [https://www.keishicho.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/multilingual/english/safe_society/wanted/seijo.files/eng.pdf] https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2004/10/16/national/symbolic-statue-found-near-scene-of-murders-cops-probe-connection/ [https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2004/10/16/national/symbolic-statue-found-near-scene-of-murders-cops-probe-connection/] "Setagaya family murders remain unsolved 17 years later" [https://web.archive.org/web/20180523011534/https://japantoday.com/category/crime/setagaya-family-murders-remain-unsolved-17-years-later] Music & Sound Credits: * Large City Park Distant Summer Ambience by _MC5_ -- https://freesound.org/s/702751/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0 * Ambience in the kitchen by 140178sound -- https://freesound.org/s/325626/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 3.0 * AMBHome-Tascam X6_Experience the warmth and gentle rhythm of_TheFieldRecordist - RNajmeddine_Ramadan Kitchen_20250306 by TheFieldRecordist -- https://freesound.org/s/792228/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 * A quiet day after a winter storm by sniffin_fer_sounds -- https://freesound.org/s/843336/ -- License: Attribution 4.0 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
