A 26-year-old Dutch woman vanishes without a trace in rural Ireland. Her boyfriend waits 23 days to report her missing. What happened to Leidy Kaspersma?

In this episode, Nules explores one of Ireland's most enduring mysteries - the disappearance of Leidy Kaspersma in 1978. This case has remained unresolved for over four decades.

Here are 3 key elements of this baffling case:

- A Whirlwind Romance: Leidy meets Nicholas Wheatley on a ferry. Their relationship develops quickly, leading them to Ireland.

- The Last Sighting: Wheatley claims Leidy asked to be let out of the car on a remote road. He never saw her again.

- Unanswered Questions: Why did Wheatley wait 23 days to report Leidy missing? What happened on that mountain road?

This episode examines the investigation, the family's tireless search for answers, and the lingering suspicions that have persisted for 45 years.

The disappearance of Leidy Kaspersma is more than a mystery. It's a story of a life interrupted and a family's unending grief.

Gary Colton joins Nules once again on the podcast, this time to discuss the psychology of serial killers and recent true crime cases. They explore the "Dark Triad" personality traits common in serial killers, the motivations behind familicide, and the impact of social media on high-profile cases like Chris Watts. Gary offers insights into the mentality of killers, the role of childhood experiences, and society's fascination with true crime. The conversation covers recent Irish cases, including the Michael Gaine and Tina Satchwell cases, as well as international incidents. Gary's expertise in psychology provides a deep dive into the complexities of the criminal mind and the factors that contribute to extreme acts of violence.
