Global True Crime is the English adaptation of the established Swedish true crime podcast Rysarpodden.

On Easter Sunday in 1990, a couple were out driving when a van came speeding up behind them. The van passed them, but a few minutes later they saw the same van parked outside an abandoned school. Standing beside it was a man holding a bloodstained piece of fabric. They kept driving, confused by what they had just seen. And shortly afterwards, the van appeared behind them again. This was not a scene from a horror movie. But years later, it would bear a striking resemblance to one.

38 - Missing in Minnesota: The Disappearance of Brandon Swanson
In May 2008, 19-year-old Brandon Swanson spent an evening celebrating the end of the college year with friends in southwestern Minnesota. Sometime after midnight, his car became stuck on a gravel road during the drive home, and he called his parents for help. But despite staying in contact by phone, they could not find him. Brandon eventually left the car behind and began walking towards what he believed were the lights of a nearby town, while continuing to speak to his father. Then, without warning, he said two words: “Oh shit.” The call ended, and Brandon was never seen or heard from again. More than 18 years later, it is still unclear exactly what happened that night.

37 - The Murders at Lake Oconee: The Case of Russell & Shirley Dermond
In early May 2014, Russell and Shirley Dermond were supposed to attend a Kentucky Derby party at a neighbor’s house. They lived in Great Waters, a lakeside community in Georgia where many people had moved to enjoy a quieter life in retirement. But Russell and Shirley never showed up. At first, that might not have seemed too strange. They were elderly. One of them could have been unwell, or maybe their plans had simply changed. But then the days passed. No one could reach them. And when a few friends eventually went to their home by Lake Oconee to check on them, they found something that would become the beginning of one of Georgia’s strangest unsolved murder cases.
