Show Notes
In 1945, the quiet village of Lower Quinton, England, was rocked by a brutal killing.

Was it a crime of passion…or something darker? In today's first episode of Conspiracies & the Unknown, join Vanessa Richardson as she investigates one of Britain’s most chilling unsolved murders, where wartime paranoia, black magic, and folklore collide.

In today's second Unsolved Tuesday episode, Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole go back to October 1981, when 17-year-old Kurt Sova stepped outside a Halloween party in Cleveland to get some fresh air while his friend ran back in for their jackets. By the time that friend returned two minutes later, Kurt was gone. Five days later, his body was found in a nearby ravine, posed with his arms outstretched and both shoes missing, with no clear cause of death. Decades later, the police department that botched the investigation has been exposed for corruption.
Five students were brutally murdered. Their killer wanted fame...and he got it.
