Can you recommend some interesting True Crime best stories?

Perhaps there is a story about a heist gone wrong that turned into a murder case. The criminals had planned meticulously, but something in their minds made them deviate from the plan at the last moment, leading to a tragic outcome.

I'd also recommend 'Dirty John'. It's based on the real - life story of a con man named John Meehan. The podcast details his relationship with Debra Newell and how he manipulated and deceived her. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for someone too quickly without really knowing them.

One of the best new true crime stories is 'The Golden State Killer' case. It involves a serial rapist and murderer who terrorized California for years. The story is gripping as it details how detectives used DNA and genealogy websites to finally catch the culprit after decades of eluding the law.

One well - known Australia true crime story is the case of Ivan Milat. He was a serial killer known as the 'Backpacker Murderer'. He targeted young backpackers in the 1990s, leaving a trail of horror. His crimes were finally uncovered, and he was brought to justice.

One twisted true crime story is the case of Ted Bundy. He was a charming yet extremely dangerous serial killer. He lured his victims with his good looks and charm, often feigning injury. His crimes were truly heinous and his case has been studied extensively to understand the mind of a serial killer.

Sure. 'Serial' is a very popular one. It delved deeply into a murder case and kept listeners on the edge of their seats with its in - depth investigations and interviews.

One interesting true crime short story is about the Lizzie Borden case. She was accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother with an axe in 1892. Another is the case of the Black Dahlia. The victim, Elizabeth Short, was found mutilated in a very gruesome way in Los Angeles in 1947. And then there's the story of the Zodiac Killer, who sent taunting letters to the police while committing a series of murders in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The O. J. Simpson case is also a well - known 'black true crime story'. O. J. Simpson, a former football star, was accused of murdering his ex - wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The trial was highly publicized and had racial undertones, with many in the black community believing Simpson was being framed by a racist police department.

Sure. Beginners might like the short stories based on the Zodiac Killer. They are full of mystery and the way the killer interacted with the police through letters is very interesting. The story of the Black Dahlia murder is also suitable. It has a lot of elements that are easy to follow like the discovery of the body and the search for the killer. And you can't go wrong with some basic short stories about Ted Bundy. His story is well - known and the short - story versions usually focus on his most shocking crimes which can be a good introduction to true crime short stories.

Sure. 'Serial' is a very popular one. It delved deeply into a single true crime case over multiple episodes, with in - depth interviews and investigations. Another great one is 'My Favorite Murder'. The hosts discuss different true crime stories in an engaging and often humorous way while still respecting the victims.
