In June 1996, the vibrant life of 20-year-old Swedish au pair Karina Holmer came to a gruesome end in Boston. After a night out at the Zanzibar nightclub, Karina vanished—only for her dismembered remains to be discovered days later in a trash bin near Fenway Park. Her murder shocked the city and remains one of its most haunting unsolved crimes. In this episode, we trace Karina’s journey from Sweden to the U.S., explore the chilling details of her final hours, and examine the lingering questions that continue to baffle investigators and haunt those who knew her.
