The Shadow of Hinterkaifeck

from True Criminals · host Nathan Weiss

In the spring of 1922, on a remote Bavarian farmstead known as Hinterkaifeck , six people were brutally murdered with a pickaxe. But the true horror wasn't just the crime itself—it was what happened next. For three days after the killings, smoke continued to rise from the chimney, the cattle were fed, and meals were eaten in the kitchen, all while the victims lay just feet away.
