    61. A Father's Quest: Uncovering the Truth Behind Elly Warren's Death
    2024/11/06
    In 2016, Elly Warren, a young Australian marine biology volunteer, was found dead in Tofo, Mozambique, after a night out with friends. Although local police initially ruled her death as a drug overdose, her father, Paul, grew suspicious upon discovering that her actual cause of death was asphyxiation from sand. Believing local corruption was hindering the investigation, Paul launched his own relentless search for justice, even traveling to Mozambique. Over the years, he uncovered troubling details, including a witness who described seeing Elly's body with signs of potential assault and local rumors about a powerful figure connected to her death. With the help of a German investigator and a woman who infiltrated the suspect’s gang, Paul gathered evidence, including a recorded confession from the suspect, revealing the crime was a planned robbery gone wrong. Despite pressure from authorities to cease his efforts, Paul remained determined to seek justice for his daughter, submitting a report to Australian authorities in 2020, committed to exposing the truth behind Elly's tragic fate.

    60. The Shadows of Cleveland: Unveiling the Horrors of the Cleveland Strangler
    2024/11/05
    In this episode of the *Salattu* podcast, we delve into the chilling case of the Cleveland Strangler, Anthony Sowell, whose crimes terrorized the Mount Pleasant area of Cleveland, Ohio. As the city struggled with economic hardship, the police initially dismissed disappearances of local women, attributing them to drug-related issues. Meanwhile, an unbearable odor lingered, which residents blamed on a nearby sausage factory. However, when the stench worsened and a homeless man barely escaped a disturbing encounter with Sowell, suspicions arose. Despite multiple reports, including survivors with severe injuries, police inaction allowed Sowell to continue his crimes undetected. Finally, in October 2009, a police investigation uncovered eleven bodies hidden in Sowell’s home, shocking the nation. His 2011 trial resulted in a death sentence, sparking reform within the Cleveland police.

    59. The Nail Polish Murder: The Unsolved Mystery of Eom Hyun-ah
    2024/11/04
    In 2003, 15-year-old Eom Hyun-ah went missing after taking a shortcut home in Pocheon City, South Korea. Despite extensive searches, police initially found no trace of her, until her belongings and phone, with the battery removed, surfaced weeks later. In February 2004, her partially decomposed body was discovered in a sewer, her fingers and toenails painted with red nail polish, a detail that mystified investigators. The unusual polish application and lack of struggle suggested she may have been dead when it was applied, fueling speculation of a perverse motive. Leads, including a suspicious white car and a nail polish purchase, led nowhere. In 2019, a witness recalled an unsettling encounter with a man resembling the Hwaseong serial killer, though police cautioned about memory distortion. The case, unresolved, remains a haunting mystery, with ongoing efforts to uncover the truth and bring justice for Hyun-ah.

    2024/11/01
    In August 2017, journalist Kim Wall mysteriously disappeared after boarding the private submarine Nautilus, owned by Danish entrepreneur Peter Madsen. After Madsen was rescued from the sinking submarine, he claimed Wall had left the vessel safely, but inconsistencies in his account led police to suspect foul play. As the investigation unfolded, Madsen's contradictory statements and eventual admission of dismembering Wall's body raised grave concerns, especially after parts of her remains were discovered in the sea. Autopsy results revealed multiple stab wounds and signs of violence, contradicting Madsen's claims of accidental death. Ultimately, he was charged with murder, sexual assault, and desecration of a body, found guilty in April 2018, and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole, while his failed attempt to escape prison in 2020 highlighted the tragic outcome of a case that captivated the world.
