Dana Pastori + Monika Chetty

In this episode, Emily covers the story about a free-spirited woman who was discovered dead in a trunk after property owners cleaned out their storage room following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Then Elisha discusses the unsolved 2014 case of a woman in the bushland of Australia who died in hospital more than three weeks after being burned with hydrochloric acid.

Photos from both cases are up on our social media if you’re a visual person (like we are) and need to see where the crime went down. You can also find them on our website, in the Episode Discovery file.
