The Death of Helle Crafts: An Almost Perfect Homicide

The Death of Helle Crafts: An Almost Perfect Homicide

In 1986, Helle Crafts, a flight attendant and mother of three, disappeared. The Danish woman had met Eastern Airlines pilot Richard Crafts, and despite a nearly 10-year age difference, the two hit it off. They married in 1979, and the couple quickly went on to have three children. Then she discovered that he wasn't exactly the man she'd dreamed of marrying. A chilling story that will keep you holding your breath until the end.
