Between January 1996 and July 1997, five women went missing in and around the city of Mons in Belgium. Their disappearances weren’t linked until gruesome discoveries were made across the city. Fifteen trash bags containing thirty-seven body parts were found at strategic dump sites seemingly designed to taunt authorities and spark fear in the public. These women fell victim to a sadistic serial killer. His identity remains unknown, but his name still sparks fear… The Butcher of Mons. In this new season of Le Monstre, Host Matt Graves and a team of investigators and journalists reinvestigate this terrifying case, unearthing new evidence, new witnesses, and new suspects.

Season 1 of Le Monstre covers The Dutroux Affair. Serial killer Marc Dutroux and his accomplices terrorized the country of Belgium. These unspeakable crimes and the incompetence or unwillingness of law enforcement agencies to stop them brought the entire country of Belgium to the brink of revolution. 

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody are scraping by on welfare and methadone in a basement suite with John’s grandma, when they find themselves embroiled in a terrorist plot. A mysterious figure named Abe comes into their lives and introduces the couple to a shadowy world of global extremism. With Abe as their mentor and benefactor, John and Amanda hatch a plan to bomb a national holiday celebration using homemade pressure cooker devices. They have no idea that federal police are tracking their every move. Through nearly a hundred hours of surveillance footage and wiretaps, Pressure Cooker puts you in the middle of a sprawling anti-terror operation at the height of the War on Terror — one the courts will eventually call a “travesty of justice."

A Mulher da Casa Abandonada é um podcast narrativo da Folha que investiga a história de vida de uma figura misteriosa. Uma mulher que mora em uma mansão em pandarecos em Higienópolis, um dos bairros mais ricos de São Paulo, e se apresenta como Mari. Mas Mari não é quem diz ser. É o que descobre o repórter Chico Felitti, em uma apuração de seis meses que passa por uma praça de São Paulo, por um subúrbio de Washington e por uma empresa que faz foguetes e satélites para a Nasa. Por trás do nome inventado e de uma camada de pomada branca que passa na cara, Mari esconde a acusação de ter cometido nos Estados Unidos, vinte anos atrás, um crime hediondo. Essa pessoa escapou de um julgamento nos EUA e do FBI, e tem sua história contada pela primeira vez.
