    #13: The Unnamed Passenger - Inside the 20-Year Search for Grateful Doe
    May 24 2025
    An unidentified Grateful Dead fan. A fatal crash. A mystery that took 20 years to solve.

    In June 1995, a fatal car crash on a quiet Virginia highway left behind two unidentified victims. One of them—a young man with ticket stubs to a Grateful Dead concert and a note signed by two women named Caroline—remained nameless for two decades. Known only as Grateful Doe, his case became one of the most widely discussed mysteries in the online true crime community.

    This episode traces the long road to uncovering Grateful Doe’s identity, from the early police sketches and national appeals, to the emotional impact of the 2012 forensic facial reconstruction that brought renewed attention to the case. We explore the nomadic world of Grateful Dead fans in the 1990s, the circumstances that led Grateful Doe to vanish, and the dedicated amateur investigators who refused to let him be forgotten.

    Through verified records, forensic advancements, and community-driven efforts, we piece together how Grateful Doe was finally named—and why his story still resonates.

    #12: The Red Light Bandit: Crime, Dictatorship, and Silence
    May 16 2025
    In pitch black, the eerie red beam of a flashlight meant one thing: he was already inside.

    In this episode, we examine the true story of João Acácio Pereira da Costa — the man who would become known across Brazil as the Red Light Bandit. Set against the backdrop of 1960s São Paulo and Baixada Santista, this episode explores how social inequality, urban migration, and post-coup authoritarianism shaped both the city and the criminals it produced. João Acácio didn’t emerge in a vacuum. His actions — a string of high-profile robberies that terrified the public and embarrassed the police — reflected deeper fractures in Brazilian society.

    We trace João Acácio’s early years, his crimes, and the media storm that followed. What made him stand out wasn’t just the volume of his robberies, but the way the press mythologized him in a Brazil gripped by fear and fascination.

    Whether you're a true crime fan or someone interested in the social history of Brazil, this episode offers a detailed, fact-based look at one of the country's most talked-about criminals.
