Evidence Locker True Crime

Eva Bourseau, 23, was murdered in her Toulouse apartment on 26 July 2015 by two students, Taha Mrani Alaoui and Zakariya Banouni, over a drug debt. Her body was submerged in hydrochloric acid in a plastic trunk — a method inspired by the TV series Breaking Bad. Discovered by firefighters after her mother raised the alarm, the case shocked France and made international headlines. After a 15-day trial at the Cour d'Assises de Haute-Garonne in December 2018, Taha was sentenced to 30 years and Zakariya to 25 years. The case remains one of France's most disturbing student crime cases.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.

Every December, thousands of letters addressed to Santa are sent to North Pole, Alaska. Boxes full of letters are then sent to North Pole Middle School, where they are included in the 6th Grade curriculum: North Pole’s 11 and 12-year-olds are nominated as Santa’s little helpers and reply to all the letters on Santa’s behalf. But in April 2006, the peace in this snow globe of a town was shattered when six 7th Graders hatched a plan to kill their classmates. The would-be attackers had drawn up a “naughty list” of kids at school that they wanted to murder in one violent, coordinated attack. Just the previous year, they were acting as elves, writing letters to other children all over the country. A couple of months later, they were gearing up to be monsters.Books: Read collections of The Evidence Locker Files, available in print and digital editions.Follow us on: YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTokFor more information, visit: Evidence Locker WebsiteListen ad-free: Visit our page at Patreon25% of Evidence Locker Patreon proceeds are donated to support the Doe Network, solving international cold cases.
