POPULARITY
Ein eisiger Novemberabend in Connecticut: Nach einem Streit mit ihrem Ehemann verschwindet die Flugbegleiterin Helle spurlos. Doch es ist nicht nur der eiskalte Sturm, der ihre Spuren verwischt. Monate später finden die Ermittler winzige Hinweise – und stoßen auf einen grausamen Verdacht. --- Content Hinweis --- In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Mord.

I denne sidste episode følger vi den dramatiske retssag mod Richard Crafts, der er anklaget for mordet på sin kone, den danske stewardesse Helle Crafts. Efter en lang og udfordrende efterforskning, fyldt med tekniske beviser og indicier, står vi nu overfor en intens afslutning. Juryen skal afgøre, om Richard er skyldig i mordet, men deres beslutning trækker ud i rekordlange forhandlinger, der strækker sig over 17 dage. Samtidig rulles en dyb og uhyggelig historie op om flere forsvundne kvinder i den lille by Newtown, som alle har forbindelser til mænd, der har noget at skjule. I denne episode får vi en nærmere indblik i de afgørende beviser og de mystiske sammenfald, der måske kan sætte hele sagen i et nyt lys.
I denne episode fortsætter vi med, at følge den intensiverede efterforskning af Helle Crafts forsvinden, hvor politiet finder afgørende spor langs floden i Newtown. Knoglerester og personlige ejendele som Helles natkjole, en tånegl og en tand bekræfter, at de fundne rester tilhører hende. Dykkere finder også en motorsav, som Richard Crafts formentlig har smidt i floden, og som indeholder biologisk materiale, der knytter ham til forbrydelsen. Efter flere modstridende historier fra Richard, som senere viser sig at være løgn, begynder politiet at samle de nødvendige beviser for at sigte ham for mord. Denne sag er historisk, da det er første gang i Connecticut, at nogen sigtes for mord uden et lig. Retssagen står overfor sin begyndelse, og juryen står samtidig overfor en kæmpe udfordring: For kan de overbevises om Richards skyld uden det fysiske bevis?
I denne episode dykker vi ned længere ned i den mystiske forsvinden af den danske stewardesse Helle Crafts, og den intense efterforskning, der følger. Helle forsvinder en nat, og hendes mand, Richard, bliver hurtigt hovedmistænkt. Trods flere afhøringer og beståede løgnedetektortests fortsætter politiet med at grave dybere, især efter at en privatdetektiv og barnepigen opdager mistænkelige spor i hjemmet. Efterforskningen tager en dramatisk drejning, da et tip fra en vejarbejder afslører, at Richard er blevet set nær en bro med en flishugger under en snestorm. Det helt store spørgsmålet er, om der er tilstrækkelige beviser til at knytte Richard til Helles forsvinden?
Den 18. november 1986 bliver den 39-årige danske kvinde Helle Crafts sat af foran sit hus i Newton, Connecticut af sine kolleger. Hun er udmattet efter at have været på arbejde som stewardesse, hvor hun netop er kommet hjem fra en tur fra Frankfurt til New York. Helle er glad for at være nået hjem inden den forestående storm, som metrologerne har lovet. Hun glæder sig nu bare til at komme hjem og putte sine tre børn. Da Helles kollega vinker farvel til hende foran hendes hus, så er hun ikke klar over, at det er sidste gang, hun nogensinde ser hende igen.

Nel 1986, Helle Crafts, assistente di volo e madre di tre figli, scomparve. La donna di origini danesi aveva incontrato il pilota della Eastern Airlines Richard Crafts e, nonostante una differenza di età di quasi 10 anni, i due si erano trovati molto bene. Si sposarono nel 1979 e la coppia ebbe tre figli in breve successione. Poi lei scoprì che quello non era esattamente l'uomo che aveva sognato di sposare.-------------------------------------------Seguimi anche sul canale Youtube:https://bit.ly/3TXVGEdInstagram:@scarymonstertruecrimeTwitter:@scarycrimeFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/scarymonstertruecrimeIscriviti al Gruppo Facebook True Crime Italia:https://www.facebook.com/groups/true-crime-italia---------------------------------------------------------Contatti:Antonello Salea.sale@cbsnet.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scary-monster-true-crime-podcast--4789759/support.
Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!The Shocking Case of Helle Crafts: The Wood Chipper MurderOn the night of November 18, 1986, Helle Crafts was last seen by her friends and colleagues. She had confided in them about her concerns regarding her husband's infidelity and her intention to divorce him. When she didn't show up for work the next day and her friends couldn't reach her, worry began to set in.Richard Crafts claimed that Helle had flown to Denmark to visit her mother, but her friends and family knew this was unlikely. Helle had also recently hired a private investigator to follow Richard, gathering evidence of his extramarital affairs. This revelation painted Richard as a prime suspect in her sudden disappearance.The InvestigationDetective Henry Lee, renowned for his forensic expertise, played a pivotal role in unraveling the mystery. Initial searches of the Crafts' home revealed bloodstains on the mattress and bedding, but it wasn't until a snowplow driver came forward with a crucial tip that the investigation took a gruesome turn.The driver reported seeing Richard operating a wood chipper near Lake Zoar during a snowstorm around the time of Helle's disappearance. This led investigators to the lake, where they conducted an intensive search. What they found was both horrifying and groundbreaking.The EvidenceScattered along the banks of the lake were small fragments of steel, bone, and tissue. Forensic experts confirmed that these remains belonged to Helle Crafts. The discovery of a chainsaw with hair and tissue matching Helle's DNA, found in the nearby river, further solidified the case against Richard.The prosecution argued that Richard had struck Helle in the head with a blunt object, possibly while she was sleeping, then froze her body in a freezer before dismembering it with the chainsaw and disposing of the remains using the wood chipper. This method of disposal was unprecedented in criminal investigations at the time.The Trial and ConvictionThe trial of Richard Crafts was a landmark case in forensic science. It was one of the first to successfully prosecute a murder without a body, relying heavily on forensic evidence and expert testimony. The state's case was built on the meticulous reconstruction of the crime, demonstrating how Richard attempted to cover up his heinous act.In 1989, after a lengthy trial and a mistrial due to a hung jury, Richard Crafts was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 50 years in prison. His conviction marked a significant achievement in forensic investigation and set a precedent for future cases involving body disposal.Sources used for this episode:Support the Show.JOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA

Hey guys! I want to apologize for the audio. I've contacted @spotifyforpodcasters about my editing issues but they still weren't resolved & I wanted to get this episode out. Hope it isn't too unbearable. Cheers! On November 19, 1986, Helle Crafts went missing. For a few weeks, the police were looking for her. They gathered evidence, wrote search warrants, and looked for her body. During a search of the Craft's home, police found compelling evidence, which in turn lead the investigators to possible murder weapons. https://www.ipl.org/essay/Crafts-Vs-Helle-The-Case-Of-Dr-1A99C5D4C3022625 http://www.mrpalermo.com/uploads/9/8/9/6/9896107/woodchipper_case_study.pdf trailer @TCSA True Crime South Africa A victim focused true crime podcast.

Ana Walshe, a 39-year-old working mother of three young boys is reported missing on January 4, 2023. But not by her husband, by her Washington, DC employer when they said she never returned to work after the New Year's holiday. A visit to her South Shore Massachusetts home in the coastal town of Cohasset sets off a string of events that leaves investigators highly suspicious of husband, Brian Walshe, and locals glued to the story. Ana was last seen in the early morning hours of January 1, 2023, after a celebratory dinner with her family and a friend. The husband's explanation of where she went, we learn pretty quickly, doesn't add up and his moves from the last time she is seen have left digital footprints that paint a very grim picture of what took place on the first day of January 2023. His criminal past takes a front seat as the story unfolds. Ana Walsh is still missing; her three small boys, her family, and her many friends miss her. They realize what the evidence is suggesting and it is terrifying. I always hold out hope that she will be found. Alive. Her husband is charged with her murder and she is presumed dead. Can someone be convicted without a body? I cite two New England cases where husbands were convicted in the deaths of their wives when a body was never recovered: The November 1986 murder of Helle Crafts of Newtown, Connecticut and the September 1998 murder of Katherine Leonard Romano of Quincy, Massachusetts.Crime of the Truest KindHosted & created by Anngelle Woodcrimeofthetruestkind.comFollow @crimeofthetruestkindMusic included in this episode by Andrew King and Joe onlyone Kowalski, Boston, MassSupport the show, become a Patreon patron!Patreon.com/crimeofthetruestkindSupport the showCrimeoftheTruestKind.com for show notes

Und wann hat er sich eigentlich das letzte Mal freiwillig um die Kinder gekümmert? Nein. Es reicht. Sie wird ihn verlassen.

Helle Crafts was a beautiful young woman and flight attendant and mother of three who had the gift of gab in the way that she spoke multiple languages and could understand more. Her marriage to Richard Crafts was troubled and she hired a private investigator to gather evidence of his extramarital affairs before she officially filed for divorce. On November 18, 1986 she was dropped off at her Newtown, Connecticut home by a co-worker and was never seen again. Her case resulted in the first murder conviction in the state of Connecticut without a body and was inspiration behind one of the most iconic scenes in the movie "Fargo" Don't forget to rate, subscribe, follow and share us with your friends. -- Connect with us!

Some of the spirits in the Joshua Ward house are leftover from the Salem Witch Trials. But there might be more to this story than you think. Kerri's story starts at 22:04 and is a real-life horror movie Helle Crafts lived an incredible life as a flight attendant; and met the man she married doing it.

In 1986, a beautiful young mother discovers her husband is cheating on her and files for divorce. Soon afterward, she goes missing. Discovering what happened to Helle Crafts would take an small army of detectives, forensic scientists, serologists, forensic anthropologists, a police diving team and other investigators to unravel this bizarre crime and would inspire an Academy-Award winning film.
