7 NOV 2026 · On a Saturday morning in January 2001, two teenagers knocked on the door of a house in Etna, New Hampshire, and asked to talk about an environmental survey. They were let in. Minutes later, two beloved Dartmouth College professors, Half and Susanne Zantop, were dead.
The killers, a former honors student and a self-described class clown from nearby Chelsea, Vermont, had planned to raise $10,000 to move to Australia. They left with about $340.
This episode traces the investigation by Hanover police, the New Hampshire State Police, and the FBI: a puzzling scene with no forced entry, a bloody boot print, two forgotten knife sheaths, a flight across the country, and an arrest at an Indiana truck stop. It also follows the cases through guilty pleas and a changing legal landscape for juvenile sentences.

6 NOV 2026 · On the night of September 12, 1997, six men stole $18.9 million from the Dunbar Armored depot in Los Angeles — the largest cash robbery in U.S. history at the time. The mastermind was a security inspector fired one day earlier. The FBI found a flashlight lens and a U-Haul. But the case only broke two years later, when one of the robbers paid a real estate broker with cash still wrapped in bank currency straps. Part of The FBI Files, based on real case history.

4 NOV 2026 · On a Friday afternoon in January 1984, U.S. Customs Inspector Richard Latham looked under the back seat of a car at the Del Rio port of entry and found a bag of stolen jewelry. Minutes later, four men forced him into the car at gunpoint and drove away.
Sixty years earlier, his grandfather, Customs Inspector James Wallen, had been killed near the same crossing. The next day, Latham's body was found in a ditch near Eagle Pass, Texas. Within hours, one suspect shot himself at a roadblock, another was in custody, and the FBI was questioning him.
This episode traces the abduction, the overnight search by an entire border community, the arrests, and the long legal aftermath, including the 2020 release that reopened the wound for his three daughters.

2 NOV 2026 · In a hotel room in Zurich, a businessman asked an old associate whether the FBI had ever mentioned "the D," a code word for a murder. The associate was wearing a wire.
Steve Banerjee built Chippendales into a worldwide brand. In 1987, his business partner, producer and choreographer Nick De Noia, was shot and killed in New York. Banerjee was not linked to the crime for years, while federal investigators say he went on to target rival dance troupes with arson and murder plots.
This episode traces the informant who contacted the FBI in Las Vegas, the hitman who agreed to cooperate, the sting in Switzerland that recorded Banerjee's own words, and the guilty plea that ended the case, hours before a sentence that was never handed down.
