Under litet drygt 16 timmar - med början på kvällen den 8 juni 1995 - förövade tre unga män en serie grova brott som i flera avseenden saknar motstycke. Trion genomförde en vettlös "bärsärkargång" som startade i Göteborg och drabbade sammanlagt 28 personer. Händelserna döptes till "gisslandramat i Hallsberg", eftersom de tre gärningsmännen greps där sedan polisen tvingats oskadliggöra en av dem med verkningseld - inför TV-kameror i direktsändning.

For more than a year, over two brutal Northeast winters, the whole of Vermont was captivated by the hunt for a runaway golden retriever named Murphy. He was more than a missing dog - he was a target for capture, and journalistic obsession. This is that story. Murphy’s disappearance would unite the dog’s increasingly anxious owners with an impassioned reporter - Wilson Ring, the state’s correspondent for the Associated Press - and an online community of animal lovers. As Murphy kept running, the quest to bring him home, safe and sound, seemed more and more impossible.

Letters to the Pope: One Man’s Quest for the Truth is a true story of one man’s decades long struggle to discover the truth of his own origin. Stolen as a baby and then sold as part of a fraudulent adoption, Enrique Vila Torres, now an adult, learned of this deception through accident. Shocked but determined to find his biological mother, he began a lifelong commitment on behalf of himself and victims just like him to get the answers to questions many of us take for granted-Who am I? Where did I come from?

Though her name was not divulged, viewers would learn that she was hit over the head near the entrance of her home, abducted, sexually assaulted, and forced into the trunk of her own car. News cameras would capture footage of Michelle’s personal items strewn across the lawn around her home and along the wooded area behind a local restaurant. The community would breathe a sigh of relief after learning that she had somehow survived and that the assailants had been caught, ending a string of similar crimes. But there is so much more to the story.

The 1967 kidnapping of 10-year-old Kenneth Young loomed as one of the few unsolved major kidnaping cases in the FBI's history. His ransom of $250,000 was the second-largest payoff in the annals of the bureau's cases at the time. Yet more than 30 months had passed without a clue being found to the criminal's identity.

One second he was there; the next, gone. Taken, forever, without any clue as to how or why - until a family friend developed their vacation photos. These tales aren’t the dramatic reenactments of kidnappings, pieced together from sloppy clues that you’d hear about on the news or Unsolved Mysteries. Be it human, alien, ghost, or monster perpetrator, this collection of weird and frightening disappearances, assembled from true reports, proves unexplainable kidnappings happen more than we like to admit - and no one knows what really happened.

Lördagen den 17 augusti 2002 berättade kvällstidningen Expressen att 23-årige direktörssonen Erik Westerberg - en av Sveriges rikaste ungdomar - varit kidnappad under drygt fyra dygn.

Charles Lindberg gjorde sig som ung ett namn genom att vara en ovanligt modig flygare, som först lyckades med att flyga över Atlanten. Men hans namn är också förknippat med något mycket mörkare, mindre känt - ett av de mest uppmärksammade brotten i amerikansk historia. Den första mars 1932 försvinner Charles Lindbergs 20 månader gamla son, Charles Augustus Jr., från barnkammaren i familjens villa. Någon har ställt en stege mot husets yttervägg, och klättrat in genom fönstret till rummet där pojken sov.

L'opera ripercorre i giorni del rapimento dell'Ing. Giuseppe Taliercio, Direttore del Petrolchimico di Porto Marghera, puntando però l'attenzione più sull'uomo e sul cristiano (Taliercio era molto credente ed attivo nell'ambito della propria parrocchia e delle istituzioni ecclesiastiche) che, alla fine, con il suo atteggiamento coerente fino all'ultimo con la sua fede, finisce per convertire i suoi carnefici che pure, come sappiamo, portarono tragicamente a compimento il loro folle piano insurrezionale.
