From the mid 1980s through the late 1990s, Futoshi Matsunaga lived by deception, posing as a businessman, scamming millions, and using electrocution, starvation, and fear to bend people to his will. At his side was Junko Ogata, once a gentle preschool teacher, gradually broken down into his accomplice and forced to take part in murders that claimed nearly her entire family. By the time police finally caught the pair in 2002, investigators had tied them to seven killings and years of abuse so horrific that prosecutors declared the case without precedent in Japan’s history.

Easter is meant to be a celebration of life and renewal, but in 1975, one Ohio family never made it past dinner. In less than five minutes, 41-year-old James Ruppert gunned down his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and eight children in what became known as the Easter Sunday Massacre. The killings were so brutal that investigators described blood dripping through the floorboards into the basement.

In the early hours of February 15, 2003, a small crew of Italian thieves pulled off what seemed impossible, they broke into the world’s most secure diamond vault in Antwerp, Belgium. They slipped past ten layers of high tech security without triggering a single alarm, making off with millions in gems, gold, and cash. It was the kind of heist you’d expect in a Hollywood script, but this one was real, and to this day, the missing diamonds have never been found.
