On a day when the world stood still, one New York City murder vanished into the blur of chaos. Just before midnight on September 11, 2001, Henryk Siwiak, a 46-year-old Polish immigrant, was shot to death while on his way to work at a Brooklyn grocery store. With the NYPD stretched beyond capacity, resources diverted, and a city in chaos, the investigation stalled almost immediately. More than two decades later, Henryk’s death remains the only unsolved homicide recorded in New York City on 9/11.

Happy ! It’s our last spoooooky episode of the season. We’ll go back to our regular bi-weekly publishing schedule after this one.

In June 1983, a 15-year-old Vatican citizen named Emanuela Orlandi left for a music lesson in Rome—and vanished without a trace. The case that followed is a mix of anonymous phone calls, alleged kidnappings, and puzzling theories ranging from terrorism to organised crime to a cover-up within the Vatican.

Join us as we trace Emanuela’s last known steps, unpack the conflicting investigations, and explore the shadowy webs of power that may lie behind one of Italy’s most haunting cold-cases.

In 1961, small-town Texas became the center of a media frenzy when 17-year-old Betty Williams asked her ex-boyfriend, John Mack Herring, to kill her—and he did. The shocking “Kiss and Kill” case exposed not only the dark side of teen romance but also how the press sensationalized tragedy, painting Betty as a wayward girl and her killer as a golden boy gone astray. Join us as we revisit the headlines, the trial that ended in acquittal, and the troubling story of how public sympathy can be shaped—and twisted—by the media.
