About Inside Greece's Dark Tourism: The Mafia, Overtourism & Exploitation

More than three million tourists flock to Greece every year. But this mass tourism comes at a heavy price. On the island of Mykonos, where 40% of construction is believed to be illegal, a landowner was recently murdered in a suspected mafia killing. ""There are no more open spaces. They were destroyed by the thieves. I am ashamed to be a Santorinian today,” cries one old man. Every day thousands of people queue for hours to take the same pictures for instagram. Despite being one of the driest islands in Greece, the island also boasts over 1,000 swimming pools. Even extremely earthquake- and landslide-prone cliffs are completely built up. On the neighbouring island of Mykonos, criminal structures are omnipresent. Here, the minimum consumption per table in some exclusive beach clubs is as much as 10,000 euros a night. With no much money at stake, nobody dares to take action. Even some of the posh beach clubs operate without a proper license. The local mayor claims that the central government in Athens is responsible for tearing down illegal buildings but Athens

Lizzie Borden: The Secret Behind the Shocking Murders

On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally murdered inside their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was accused, arrested, and ultimately acquitted—but more than 130 years later, no one has ever been convicted of the killings. So what really happened inside the Borden house that morning? In this documentary, we go back to the evidence and reconstruct the final days of the Borden household. We examine the family's financial disputes, strained relationships, conflicting testimony, suspicious timelines, the mysterious hatchet, and the unanswered questions that followed Lizzie's famous trial. But there's a problem with the traditional story: no single theory completely explains the evidence. What if Lizzie wasn't acting alone? What if Abby was the original target—and Andrew's unexpected return changed everything? Could other members of the household have known more than they admitted? From John Morse and Bridget Sullivan to Emma and Lizzie Borden, we explore the people, motives, and contradictions surrounding one of America's most infamous unsolved murder cases. This isn't an attempt to declare a new culprit. Instead, it's an investigation into

FBI Manhunt: Tracking the Flight 855 Skyjacker Across the Utah Mud Flats

A 727, a ransom, and a jump into the dark. What followed rewired aviation and ignited a nationwide hunt. This episode traces the real-life chase for Richard Floyd McCoy Jr., from the San Francisco ransom drop to that mysterious bump over Utah sky. Follow the search across Provo’s mud flats, the tip that changed everything, and the fingerprint and handwriting hits that cracked the case. Then the story swerves: a plaster-made .45 in a prison dental lab, a garbage truck jailbreak, a swamp pursuit, and a quiet Virginia stakeout that ends it all. Along the way, the shadow of D.B. Cooper looms large: the tie clip, the parachutes, the identical playbook, and a riverbank discovery years later that kept the legend alive. If you think you know the Cooper story, wait until you see how McCoy’s trail forced new aircraft design and left one question hanging in the air. Watch to uncover the choices, the luck, and the clues investigators still can’t shake. Watch now for the full investigation and decide for yourself.
