About this episode

The episode explores the unsolved Hinterkaifeck murders of 1922, detailing the eerie events leading up to the family's tragic demise.

In 1922, six members of the same family were found murdered on their isolated farmstead in the Bavarian countryside, killed one by one with a pickaxe. In the days before their deaths, the family had noticed strange and frightening signs: footprints in the snow, footsteps in the attic, and the unshakable feeling that someone was watching them. But they never made it out alive, and their killer was never caught. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces the family at the center of one of Europe's most haunting unsolved mysteries, the eerie warnings that preceded the massacre, and the quiet farm that became the scene of an unthinkable crime.
