Three death photographs that no one should have captured

Three death photographs that no one should have captured: The accidental case of Keith Sapsford, Regina Kay Walters, and Chris McCandless A photographer in Sydney pointed his lens at the sky on the wrong day. Unknowingly, he captured the exact moment when a teenager fell 60 meters from the landing gear of a commercial airplane. Three true stories. Three images that exist. In each one, the person photographed would be dead shortly after. In this episode, we explore how an accidental photograph documents an involuntary homicide, how a serial killer was caught not for his 50+ crimes but by a woman who managed to survive, and how a young traveler was trapped less than a kilometer from his salvation. Three impossible contradictions converging in three final images. Victim: Keith Sapsford, Regina Kay Walters, Chris McCandless Date: 1970, 1990, 1992 Location: Sydney, Texas-Arizona, Denali Status: Closed cases / Execution of Rhodes 2008 - Keith Sapsford entered the landing gear of a commercial airplane in Sydney in 1970; John Gilpin captured his fall from ~60 meters in the only photograph of the incident. - Robert Rhodes murdered over 50 women in 20 years but was arrested only in 1990 by a victim who survived, not for any of his previous crimes. - The photograph of Regina Walters was found in Rhodes' house, taken in the barn where she died, moments before her death. - Chris McCandless wrote his last photograph with a goodbye note while a manual tram and a cabin equipped existed less than 1 kilometer from his location.
