Uncover the World’s Most Mind-Boggling Cases

If you think you’ve heard it all when it comes to true crime, think again. Jennifer Rees—a former forensics lecturer and police recruit trainer—is here to take us on a deep dive into some of the most shocking, bizarre, and downright hard-to-believe cases in criminal history.

During this fascinating evening, Jennifer will guide us through a series of unbelievable real-life cases, including:

• The Elevator Encounter: A researcher whose career kicked off after a terrifying lift encounter with a serial killer who had just claimed his latest victims (and was carrying a bag believed to contain their decapitated heads).
• The Ultimate Copycat: One woman’s wild plan to free a prolific serial killer from prison by committing a copycat murder of her own… and her bizarre connection to yet another killer.
• The Phantom Killer: The 18-year hunt for a female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes, but who actually didn’t exist at all.
• Could It Be You? A fascinating look into how the police could have DNA, fingerprints, or eyewitness testimony tying you to a crime you didn’t commit!
