  • 197. The Lohagad Murder | Ketan Agarwal & Siya Goyal
    Jun 26 2026

    A boy from a big Pune business family, a girl about to marry into it, and a wedding being built on a scale that barely sounded real. Then Ketan Agarwal went over the edge of Lohagad Fort near Lonavala, and for 5 days it stayed exactly what it looked like: a tragic trekking accident. But his fiancée Siya Goyal, a man in a hoodie named Chetan Chaudhary, 2004 phone calls, and a string of earlier attempts nobody saw coming turned this into one of the most disturbing cases India has followed in 2026. We break down every credible thread the police have pulled so far in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, and trust us, this one is stranger than fiction.

  • 196. The Santa Serial Killer: Bruce McArthur
    Jun 20 2026

    For years, men were disappearing from Toronto’s Gay Village. Some were immigrants. Some were refugees. Some were South Asian or Middle Eastern men living complicated, private lives in a city that was supposed to offer them freedom. They moved through bars, dating apps, friendships, and chosen families — until, one by one, they seemed to vanish. At first, there were rumours. Then there was fear. People in the community warned each other that something was wrong, that someone was targeting men who were already easy for the world to overlook. But the warnings were dismissed for far too long. This is the story of how a city’s most vulnerable men went missing in plain sight, and how the truth, when it finally came out, exposed a killer more ordinary than the men who walk beside you every day. This is the story of Bruce McArthur.

I didn't know even ten percent of these cases. I'm hooked. Initially when I heard i kind of gave up but not finding anything gripping after checking around on all audio aps i can back to this podcast and then got hooked. And now I'm quite shocked hearing these cases. Keep going guys.
