River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

In early August 2009, a young man named Mats - who lived in Falun, Sweden - called the police in desperation. He reported that his fiancée Linda Chen had gone missing. She'd left the house on a Saturday evening wearing the shoes she planned to wear for her wedding, but had never returned home. At first the police didn't take the investigation particularly seriously - since a missing person isn't necessarily a police issue. But a suspicion was raised a month later - when Mats also disappeared. The case highlighted how the killer is often close to home.
New episode every Tuesday. From Podimo, Murder in the North has been the #1 true crime podcast across Europe, and is now available in English told by Jenna Sharpe.
