Killers, Cults and Queens

A mysterious woman. A body burned beyond recognition. Two suitcases full of disguises, foreign currency and coded notebooks. And absolutely no idea who she really was.

In this episode of Killers, Cults & Queens, Nikki and Cheryl investigate one of Norway's most baffling unsolved mysteries: the case of the Isdal Woman.
It's November 1970, and a family hiking through the remote Isdalen Valley near Bergen, Norway, stumble across something horrifying. Nestled among the rocks is the badly burned body of a woman. Her face has been destroyed by fire, her clothes have almost entirely disappeared, and there is very little to help investigators establish who she was or how she ended up dead in such an isolated location.
But things get even stranger...

As detectives begin examining the scene, they discover that identifying labels have been deliberately removed from almost everything surrounding her. Her clothing, belongings and even the items in her luggage have been stripped of anything that might reveal where they came from.

Then, just days after her body is discovered, two suitcases are found abandoned in a locker at Bergen railway station. Inside are wigs, cosmetics, foreign currency, European road maps and notebooks containing what appears to be coded writing.
Who was this woman? Why was she travelling with disguises and multiple currencies? Was she deliberately concealing her identity, and what could she possibly have been running from? Was this a tragic accident, murder, or something altogether more mysterious?

Join Nikki and Cheryl as they begin piecing together the extraordinary story of the Isdal Woman, one of Europe's most fascinating unidentified-person cases.
And don't get too comfortable, because we're only just getting started. Part Two continues on Thursday.

👑 Hosted by Cheryl The Queen and Nikki Druce.

In today's minisode we pick up with the woman who's "fighting for her life, not your approval" in part two of our deep dive on perhaps the most controversial criminal Real Housewives star - Jen Shah. You'll know by now that Cheryl and Nikki are addicted to the Real housewives of Salt Lake City and it's given them something to bond over. And one particular scandal made their jaws drop in unison - the criminal pursuits of Jen Shah.

She claims to be downtrodden and work harder than anyone else but when it was revealed that this may look more like a ponzi scheme, Jen's house of carefully curated cards came crashing down!
