E26 | The Murder of Kurt Cobain?

E35 | Special | Mystery in the British Isles: Part Two - A Light Left On in West Cork

On the night of 23 December 1996, French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier was beaten to death outside her isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland — chased down her own lane and killed with a rock and a concrete block. Fifty injuries; a body left exposed so long the time of death was never fixed; a bloodstained gate that vanished from police custody. A local journalist, Ian Bailey, became the prime suspect and was convicted in France in his absence — but never charged in Ireland, where he denied it until his death. Decades on, new DNA testing offers fresh hope.

E34 | Special | Mystery in the British Isles: Part One - The Unsolvable Case

On a January night in 1931, an insurance agent named William Wallace was lured across Liverpool by a phone call from a stranger — "Qualtrough" — to an address that didn't exist. While he searched, his wife Julia was beaten to death in their own parlour. Yet his suit was spotless, the weapon vanished, and the timing was almost impossible. Convicted of her murder, Wallace became the first person in English history freed on appeal because the evidence simply couldn't support the verdict. No one else was ever charged. Every clue points two ways at once — the case crime writers still call unsolvable.

E33 | Horror on St Andrews Street

On the last night of February 2000, in the small Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen, a miner named John Price was stabbed to death in his own home — a death he had predicted aloud to his workmates the day before. But the murder was only the beginning. Over the hours that followed, Katherine Knight, a skilled abattoir worker, used the trade she'd spent thirty years perfecting to do the unthinkable to his body. This episode traces the forensic evidence, the warnings everyone missed, and the historic sentence that followed — and asks what it means when horror hides in plain sight.

E32 | Special Series | Murder in the Pacific: Part Three - The Black Cat Track

In the final chapter of Murder in the Pacific, The Veil leaves the islands for the mountains of Papua New Guinea — and the Black Cat Track. In September 2013, a guided trekking party was ambushed at a remote jungle camp. The story made headlines as an attack on eight foreign hikers, but the truth lay with the men carrying their bags. Three porters died; others were maimed for life. Ryan Wolf examines the chilling forensic detail that rewrites the case — why the foreigners were struck with the flat of the blade, and the porters with its edge. Nothing here was hidden. Except from us. While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.

E31 | Special Series | Murder in the Pacific: Part Two - Norfolk Island's Darkest Day

On Easter Sunday 2002, Janelle Patton — a 29-year-old Sydney woman seeking a fresh start — was found brutally murdered on Norfolk Island, a tiny, idyllic community of fewer than 2,000 people. With 64 injuries and no clear motive, the case sent shockwaves through a place that hadn't seen a murder in over a century. Investigators faced a closed, tight-knit community reluctant to talk, and a tangle of unidentified DNA that raised more questions than answers. A conviction eventually came — but did justice? In this episode of The Veil, we pull back the curtain on Norfolk Island's darkest day.
