Two New Episodes Of International Infamy Podcast: Violence In Germany & Ireland

Two brand-new episodes of International Infamy with Ashley Flowers, available now on Spotify. 

As a reminder to loyal listeners and introduction to new listeners, International Infamy host Ashley Flowers explores international cases for the first time, breaking down interesting and high-profile crimes from a foreign country in each episode, while sharing the twists and turns of the case and also exploring the cultural details that make the stories unique. 

 

Ashley has demonstrated her ability to tap into the mystery and history genres with her existing Parcast podcasts (Supernatural, Very Presidential), and in this new show, she continues her passion for true crime but with an international twist.

Last week’s episode explored one of Germany’s most infamous unsolved crimes, The Hinterkaifeck Massacre. As a build-up of suspicious activity worsened around a family’s farmstead - thuds in the attic, doors moving on their own, footprints, a missing house key, a mangled lock - they hoped it was all a coincidence, until they were violently murdered on March 31st, 1922. In the days that followed, there remained mysterious signs that someone was occupying the house, and the villagers eventually noticed that the farm had become eerily quiet. 

Ashley Flowers looks into the strange sources police used to find over 100 suspects in the case, with the killer still remaining unidentified to this day.

In the latest episode, host Flowers travels to an area of southeast Ireland, come to be known as the “Vanishing Triangle,” where there has been a disturbing pattern of women disappearing abruptly into thin air for over the past 40 years. The Wicklow Mountains at the heart of the region look like paradise at first glance, but the mountains are dense, making them nearly impossible to investigate. As the violence still continues in the region today, Ashley Flowers dives into the immensely unsettling recurrences of missing women and the striking lack of evidence.

Every few decades, there is a crime that rocks the entire country - the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Manson Family Murders, OJ Simpson, etc. - and these infamous stories have become part of America’s cultural DNA. Every country around the world has at least one case of this nature, some of which are almost too shocking to believe, and International Infamy will explore 15 different crimes from 15 different countries, including: in France, a conman whose charade ends in mass murder. In Mexico, a masked wrestler turned serial killer. In Iceland, six people confess to a murder that never actually happened. And more.
