We're back in Boston, Massachusetts this week - discussing one of the cities most tragic unsolved cases - the murder of Swedish au pair, Karina Holmer, who's bisected body was found in a dumpster by a homeless man on Boylston Street, not far from Fenway Park and the Berklee College of Music. We go on location to the former Club Zanzibar, and discuss the numerous theories in the case.
