True crime, Scandinavian crime, Nordic noir, history and old cases—you'll find it all in this podcast!
After more than six years of producing episodes in Swedish, I’m now bringing historical true crime to you in English.
I explore real murder cases that are at least thirty years old, each one ending with my own personal reflections.
So who am I? My name is Sara Sand. I was born in 1977 and live in the countryside of southern Sweden. I am a mother of seven, with a background in social services and psychiatry.
This is my way of trying to understand what drives people to cross the line—and what remains long afterward.
