TRUE CRIME ARCHIVES: VOLUME FOUR — Dark Continents
Some stories have been told a thousand times. Some have barely been told at all. The fourth and final volume of True Crime Archives goes looking for the ones the genre forgot.
Moses Sithole killed thirty-eight women in post-apartheid South Africa using a fake charity as bait, while Nelson Mandela personally appealed for public help finding him. The Miyazawa family were murdered in Tokyo on New Year's Eve 2000 by an intruder who stayed in their house for hours afterward, eating their ice cream and using their computer. He left twelve thousand pieces of evidence. Twenty-five years later, he has never been identified.
In one hundred days in 1994, between eight hundred thousand and one million people were killed in Rwanda — the fastest mass murder in recorded human history. The UN commander had warned his headquarters months in advance. He was told not to act.
Leon Trotsky's assassin spent months cultivating his trust before driving an ice axe into the back of his skull. The Stasi monitored one in every sixty-three East Germans. Three million people eventually read their files, and many discovered the informant had been their closest relationship.
The Tuskegee Study withheld syphilis treatment from Black American men for thirty years after penicillin existed. The Disappeared of Argentina were thrown from aeroplanes over the river. The Highway of Tears has claimed women for five decades, in a region where the state never built a bus route.
Fifty cases. Five continents. The stories that were always there, waiting to be told.
