Monserrat Vendimes: the crime followed by a thirteen-month escape and an attempt at public negotiation

The Jachachiran Sisters: 35 Stabs to a Tyrant: The murder of Mikail Jachachiran in Moscow. Three sisters stabbed their father 35 times while he slept, then called the police and confessed everything. The same act that should close the case opens it: why did these confessed murderers never escape? Why did the system ignore their cries for years? In this episode, we explore the tension between premeditation and survival: hidden cameras proving captivity, medical examinations confirming systematic sexual abuse, and a petition of 300,000 signatures that divided Russia. Were they calculated criminals or victims with no other way out? Victim: Kristina, Angelina, and María Jachachiran Date: July 27, 2018 Location: Moscow, Russia Status: Open trial; sisters officially recognized as victims; sentencing pending - Three sisters coordinated a lethal attack against their father while he slept, but confessed without a plan for escape or subsequent resistance. - Social services were formally alerted by the school; they never visited the home despite systematic class absences. - Medical examinations document sexual abuse of minors, scars from prolonged mistreatment, and psychological damage sufficient to declare the youngest sister unaccountable. - The paternal family of the father denies having witnessed violence, even though they lived in the same home where Mikail installed hidden cameras in his daughters' bedrooms.

The Impossible Confession of the Boston Strangler

Killer Confesses to Thirteen Murders from Prison Before He's Stabbed to Death: The Boston Strangler case of Albert De Salvo In the early hours of November 25, 1973, Albert De Salvo was stabbed six times in his maximum-security cell while he slept. Hours earlier, he had requested an urgent meeting because he claimed he had something to reveal about the Boston Strangler-the man he had confessed to being. But the confession that paralyzed Boston was never proven in court, and the killer died just before changing the story. In this episode, we explore the thirteen murders that terrorized Boston between 1962 and 1964, the contradictions in De Salvo's detailed confessions, and the witnesses who pointed to a different man entirely. We examine the biological evidence, the mysterious details left at crime scenes, and the unsolved question: was the right person ever identified for these homicides? Victim: Mary Sullivan, Joan Graff, Beverly Simmons, Evelyn Corbin, Patricia Bissette, Sophie Clark, Aida Irga, Jane Sullivan, Helen Blake, Nina Nichols, Anna Lessers, and others Date: June 1962 - January 1964 Location: Boston, Massachusetts Status: Unresolved - Thirteen women strangled with signatures-knots, positioned objects, no forced entry-across five jurisdictions in less than two years - De Salvo confessed to all thirteen murders but was tried only for sexual assaults; the strangler murders never went to trial - Two independent witnesses identified George Nazar-not De Salvo-in a lineup as the man seen entering victim Sophie Clark's building - De Salvo demanded the reward be paid to Nazar and sought psychiatric hospital transfer rather than prison, structuring his confession as a financial transaction Albert De Salvo, Boston Strangler, 1962, 1963, 1964, homicide investigation, serial killers, unsolved mysteries, forensic science, true crime English To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

The Lipstick Message and the Killer Who Was Never Tried

Girl Vanishes from Her Bed as Lipstick Message Warns Stop Me Before I Kill: The Lipstick Killer murders of Chicago, 1945-1946 Chicago, June 1945. A woman is found stabbed and washed clean in her apartment with no witnesses and no leads. Six months later, another woman dies with a knife in her neck-and this time, a desperate message scrawled in her own lipstick appears on the wall: "For the love of God, catch me before I kill more. I can't control myself." The city descends into panic. Then a six-year-old girl vanishes from her bedroom. This episode reconstructs the three violent homicides that gripped Chicago during the final months of World War II and examines the chain of events that led police to William Heirens, a seventeen-year-old college student with no history of violence. Over six days of interrogation without legal representation, under documented coercion including forced sodium pentothal injection, and with no solid food, Heirens signed a confession to all three murders. Yet the physical evidence tells a different story-one of twenty-nine documented inconsistencies, fingerprints that failed FBI standards, and an alternative suspect never formally investigated. Victim: Susan Degnan, Josephine Ross, Frances Brown Date: June 1945-January 1946 Location: Chicago, Illinois Status: Heirens convicted without trial; died in prison 2012 - The lipstick message was presented as definitive proof, yet graphologists who analyzed it reached conflicting conclusions about authorship - Frances Brown's fingerprint, publicized as irrefutable, matched only six points when FBI standards required twelve for validity - The dismemberment showed anatomical precision, yet Heirens was an engineering student with no registered medical training or dissection experience - The psychiatrist who administered the truth serum later testified under oath that Heirens confessed to nothing-only mentioned an alter ego called "George" Susan Degnan, Josephine Ross, Frances Brown, Chicago 1945, Lipstick Killer, William Heirens, coerced confession, unsolved mysteries, forensic evidence, true crime English To listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 OBOMEDIA.

Marichuy: the case closed as a suicide that ended up being evidence of ignored violence

Marichuy: the fall that the State wanted to hide: The femicide of María de Jesús Jaime Samudio A university student falls from the fifth floor of an apartment in the early morning of January 16, 2016. Within hours, the police close the case as a suicide. The impossible: four years later, DNA under her nails proves she was thrown by two men while struggling and calling for help. In this episode, we explore how an educational institution supports the official version, how the incomplete autopsy and the unsecured scene allow for a cover-up, and why the reclassification as femicide only comes when a mother goes viral with the truth on social media. An investigation into state omission and the impunity that persists. Victim: María de Jesús Jaime Samudio (Marichuy) Date: January 16, 2016 Location: Iztacalco, Mexico City Status: Arrest warrants issued; suspects at large since 2022 - The DNA under Marichuy's nails directly links the attackers, dismantling the suicide hypothesis after four years. - The forensic injury mechanics demonstrate that she fell on her feet while clinging to her attackers, incompatible with a voluntary jump. - Neighbors heard struggles, banging on doors, and cries for help in the hallway minutes before the fall. - The case was closed without securing the scene, without an intimate autopsy, and without notifying the prosecutorial authority, facilitating any manipulation of evidence.

Guadalupe “Lupita” Medina: the girl without an identity that the system took nine months to recognize

Lupita: Nine months without a name in Nezahualcoyotl: The murder of Guadalupe Medina Pichardo A small girl's corpse lies in a vacant lot in Nezahualcoyotl, wearing red shoelaces. Nine months later, no institution knows who she was. The central question: how does a minor disappear without the State knowing her identity? In this episode, we explore the investigation that connected a citizen video, a forensic portrait, and a police report ignored one day before the discovery. We unravel why Lupita's empty civil registry allowed the prosecutor's office to archive the case, and how an activist and a forensic expert returned a name to a homicide victim that the system never registered. Victim: Guadalupe Medina Pichardo "Lupita" Date: March 18, 2017 Location: Colonia El Sol, Nezahualcoyotl, State of Mexico Status: Sentenced to 88 years in prison (sentence September 4, 2019) - She was never registered in the civil registry; the system had no record of her name in databases. - The report of child abuse was filed on March 17, one day before her death, but it was not cross-referenced with the discovery. - A citizen witness recognized Lupita alive in a video, showing the same red shoelaces found on the corpse. - The formal identification took 243 days; it only occurred when her aunt Marina contacted activist Verónica Villalvazo.
