UNSOLVED: The Galapagos Affair 1

Описание

In 1929, a German doctor named Friedrich Ritter and his partner, Dore Strauch, sailed to the uninhabited island of Floreana in the Galapagos to escape what they believed was the worst of human nature. For two years, they had the place to themselves. Then, drawn by Friedrich's articles in the European press, other settlers began to follow. A practical German family arrived in 1932, then a self-styled Austrian Baroness with two younger lovers, who declared the island her personal kingdom and announced plans for a luxury hotel. Within months, the tiny colony was buckling under jealousy, accusations, and the kind of grudges that have nowhere to go on an island just a few miles wide. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy is joined by Daisy Eagan, host of Strange and Unexplained, to trace the rise of the so-called paradise, the strange settlers who built it, and the slow unraveling that would soon turn the Enchanted Islands into one of the strangest unsolved cases of the 20th century.Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our video episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@crimehousestudios If you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Murder: True Crime Stories to never miss a case!
