By 1997, Miguel Ricart had been a prisoner of the Spanish Civil Guard for over four years. He had been in their custody since January of 1993, awaiting trial for the murder of three teenage girls from Alcasser. Ricart would find an unlikely ally in one of the victim's parents, Fernando Garcia. Garcia wasn't interested in saving Miguel's life; rather, he was concerned that the prosecutor had developed tunnel vision on Miguel, and ignored any other potential leads or clues. In this episode, I focus on everything that happened after the initial police investigation, including the trial of Miguel Ricart, Fernando Garcia's partnership with an esteemed true crime author, and the theories that have cropped up in the decades since.  Learn more about the podcast at unresolved.meWritten, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanMusic and production by T. Nordgren Additional music provided by: Parvus Decree - "Thoughts About Future"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

It has now been weeks since the bodies of Toni Gomez Rodriguez, Desiree Hernandez Folch, and Miriam Garcia Iborra were found in the Spanish hills of La Romana. One suspect has been in custody for over a month, while the other has escaped justice... seemingly forever. Miguel Ricart confesses to the rape, torture, and murder of the three teenage victims multiple times, but his confessions always contrast in stark details. More often than not, his confessions line up with what police knew at the time, based off of the autopsies of the victims and their exhaustive investigation.But each subsequent confession painted a muddled picture: one that gives credence to Miguel Ricart's later claims that the confessions were coerced. This episodes explores how those confessions evolved over time - with and without police involvement. Part four of five. Learn more about the podcast at unresolved.meWritten, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan. Music and production by T. Nordgren.  Additional music credits:Graham Bole - "We Are One"The Gateless Gate - "Endless Grey"Pipe Choir - "Fortress (Instrumental)"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

On January 27th, 1993, the bodies of Toni Gomez Rodriguez, Desiree Hernandez Folch, and Miriam Garcia Iborra were found. The Spanish teens, from a small town named Alcasser, had gone missing in November of 1992 under mysterious circumstances. Within hours of their discovery, police had a suspect in-mind. Hours after that, they had a full detailed confession, which the suspect - Miguel Ricart - claims was coerced. This confession pointed most of the blame at another man: one of Miguel's friends, a local drug dealer named Antonio Angles, who had recently been convicted for a violent offense and escaped from prison. This episode details the ongoing investigation, as it began to consider a second autopsy and further confessions from Miguel, and goes into the Spanish Civil Guard's hunt for Antonio Angles... who continued to outsmart them at every turn. Part three of five.  Learn more about the podcast at unresolved.meWritten, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren  Additional music provided by: Soft And Furious - "Melancholic Ending" Marcos H.

On January 27th, 1993, the bodies of three teenage girls were found in the mountainous region of La Romana, Spain. Investigators quickly surmised that these were the missing girls that had disappeared from Alcasser seventy-five days beforehand. Quickly, the investigation pieced together some evidence at the scene to produce a suspect. The clues began to paint a brutal picture of how the three girls met their fate, but many have critiqued this investigation for damaging the case forever. Part two of five.  Learn more about the podcast by visiting unresolved.meWritten, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanMusic and production by T. Nordgren Music credits:Lullabelle - "Somos Magneticos"Blue Dot Sessions - "Levanger"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

On November 13th, 1992, three girls from a small Spanish town called Alcasser set off in the early evening. Their names were Toni Gomez Rodriguez, Desiree Hernandez Folch, and Miriam Garcia Iborra. They never made it to their destination - a nightclub located in a neighboring town - despite being seen just down the block. Over the next two months, the police had to rely on some spotty eyewitness testimony as their only way of finding the girls. The next seventy-five days would be torture for the family of the girls, who would receive a crushing blow when a couple of middle-aged beekeepers made a gruesome discovery in the final days of January. Part one of five. Learn more about the podcast at unresolved.meWritten, hosted, and produced by Micheal WhelanMusic and production by T. Nordgren Music credits:"Thunder" by Air Waves"Glacier" by Marcos H.

In March of 2014, 26-year old Chase Massner disappeared from a friend's home. Chase, an Iraqi war veteran who lived in Canton, Georgia. Struggling to make ends meet and provide for his family, Chase took a job at a Quik-Trip in Kennesaw, located just a mile or so away from one of Chase's friends named Brad Clement. Chase and his wife, Amanda, had been having issues in the months before Chase's disappearance. Constant financial pressure put a strain on their relationship, and Chase was spending less time with both her and their two daughters. In the days before his disappearance, he had been spending time with his mother, Stephanie Cadena. On March 27th, Amanda dropped Chase off in Kennesaw. He went to stay the night with his friend, Brad. By Brad's own recollection, Chase was looking for a drug known as roxicodone. The next day, March 28th, Chase was gone. Brad claimed that Chase disappeared, but allegations would continue to sniff around Brad for years afterwards.  Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

In the early 1980s, Adelaide police were struggling to find a suspect after the bodies of five young men were found - each showing signs of sexually abuse before their murders. But they finally zeroed in on a suspect: a man named Bevan Spencer von Einem. He remains the only man convicted in the crime, but police are still convinced that he did not act alone. Their scope reached out into the associates of von Einem's that they think were involved in some way. This unknown, mysterious group has been etched in Australian history as "the Family," and if they exist, they have escaped justice for over three decades.Part two of two. Written, hosted, and produced by Micheal Whelan Music and production by T. Nordgren Learn more about the podcast at unresolved.meBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.
