190. The Reality Show Triple Murder: Villupuram Case

الوصف

In a small village in Tamil Nadu, three people walked into a house in 2008 and were never seen again. No missing persons report was ever filed. No investigation was ever launched. For four years, the world moved on and a family ate dinner every night literally above the truth of those 3 missing people. What finally brought it to the surface wasn't a detective or a tip or a breakthrough in forensics. It was a reality TV show. A reality show where, one may afternoon, the cameras rolled, the conversation began. And then, under the searing studio lights, in front of a live audience, on a show whose title promises that whatever is said will be the truth, a 17 year old girl named Bhargavi began to speak. What she said went on to crack open a triple murder that has been lying buried for four years, literally buried, in the soil outside her own home. This is the story of those 3 missing people, that one reality TV show, and that one 17 year old girl with the courage to crack it open. This is the story of the Villupuram Triple Murder Case.
