Woodchipper Murder: The US' First Ever Conviction With No Body

In November 1986, a massive snowstorm blanketed Newtown, Connecticut, and 39-year-old flight attendant Helle Crafts vanished without a trace. With no crime scene, no weapon, and no body, police were stumped — until a snowplow driver reported seeing her husband, Richard, operating a commercial woodchipper on a bridge in the dead of night. Discover how pioneering forensic scientist Dr. Henry Lee and a dedicated police task force used cutting-edge techniques to gather less than three ounces of human material — including 56 bone chips and 2,660 hairs — from the bottom of an icy lake. This is the gripping story of how trace evidence brought down a killer and secured the first murder conviction without a body in United States history. Licensed to Little Dot Studios.

When British Airways Flight 5390 took off for Spain, no one could have predicted the terror that would unfold just 13 minutes into the journey.

With the captain pinned to the outside of the jet and the autopilot disconnected, co-pilot Alastair Atchison had to take manual control of the 43-ton BAC 1-11, executing a harrowing dive to 11,000 feet in just two and a half minutes.
