Into the Deep: The Submarine Murder of Kim Wall
from Debate The News: True Crime
In this episode, we dive into the 2017 murder of Swedish freelance journalist Kim Wall, who boarded Danish inventor Peter Madsen’s homemade submarine, the UC3 Nautilus, near Copenhagen, Denmark, for what should have been a routine interview and never came back. What followed was an international missing-person case, gruesome forensic evidence, shifting lies, and one of the most disturbing murder trials in modern true crime.The hosts and their panel of guest contributors also debate the bigger questions surrounding this case: Would you ever board a homemade submarine? What do Peter Madsen’s constantly changing explanations reveal about guilt, control, and motive? Was this murder planned in advance? How did Madsen’s image as an eccentric inventor help hide something far darker?⚠️ Listener discretion: This episode includes discussion of murder, dismemberment, sexual violence, and graphic postmortem abuse.
