Today I'm going to share the story of Tina Isa, a woman who died tragically in the United States. The case was solved in a way that no one could have imagined because of all the clues that were found inside her own home and you will be surprised how the police gathered the evidence. This case is considered an Act in the Name of Honor, a practice unfortunately still common in some regions of the European East. However, what makes this case particularly shocking is that both Tina and her mother were Brazilians.

University life is an important part of people's lives, as it is the time when young people break away from their parents and begin to become independent. Many go to study in other states and even other countries, and, therefore, need to leave the safety and comfort of their homes in order to realize their dreams. However, in 2022 in Idaho, United States, 4 students had these dreams destroyed by a man, who on one fateful night and alone, killed all of them using a knife.  This case had three phases: the investigation, the suspect, and the trial. During the investigations, which took place very quickly between November and December 2022, many twists and turns occurred, and during this period some information made available to the public was incorrect. However, the police did not correct any of the information, because since they had a suspect on their radar, for them, the more this suspect thought that the police were going down the wrong path, the better. That is why I prepared this script in chronological order, so that you can follow step by step how everything happened, exactly as the public followed the discovery of all the facts.   Today, you will learn everything about the Idaho Students Murder. 📱 Notification of new cases on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/criminalarchives/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three girls, one child and two teenagers, went to the mall to do some Christmas shopping on December 23rd, 1974. They went, but unfortunately, they never returned.

This... is the story... of The Disappearance of the Fort Worth Friends. 📱 Notification of new cases on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/criminalarchives/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the 1930s, a very peculiar case caught the attention of the residents of Colorado. Joe Arridy had been sentenced to death but because of his mental disability he could not understand or follow the court proceedings which had led to his conviction. As he could not understand the concept of death, the young man, at 23 years old, was considered by many to be the happiest man on death row. This is a delicate case which invites close consideration of the treatment given to people with psychological disabilities by the criminal justice system. It is worth highlighting that, in this case, Joe was most probably innocent of the crime he was accused of. 📱 Notification of new cases on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/criminalarchives/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's case explores a topic that is unfamiliar to us in the West and that is arranged marriage. An arranged marriage is one where the initiative to unite does not come from the bride and groom, but from their parents. Historically, it was common for kings to marry their sons to the daughters of neighboring nobles or even enemies to forge alliances between kingdoms. Although, many view arranged marriages as a relic of the past, it still persists to this day in some societies, particularly in India and it was there that in 2011 young Bimal and Shriya entered into such a union which eventually led to a court case. 📱 Notification of new cases on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/criminalarchives/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1993, in Liverpool, England, a chilling crime unfolded, one that would etch itself into the collective memory and leave scars forever. Two 10-year-old children were responsible for a barbaric crime against another child, just two years old.
