investigation
Whodunnit, and why? All about criminal investigations and the forensic methods used to search for clues and collect evidence to get to the bottom of the crime.
The mysterious case
It started on a cold Tuesday morning in October. Detective Elena Vale was just finishing her coffee when the call came through. A body had been discovered in Room 214 of the Crescent Bay Hotel — an upscale, business-friendly establishment on the city’s quieter west end. No signs of struggle. No ID. No witnesses. No camera footage. Just one dead man in a locked room.

The Shadow in the Night
The sound came again — soft, deliberate, like leather brushing against wood. Detective Lila Monroe froze mid-step in her hallway. The city was quiet this time of night, especially in this neighborhood, tucked far from the flashing chaos of downtown. But that sound didn’t belong here.

When Justice Fails
Justice is supposed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty. But sometimes, the system that promises fairness delivers something else entirely—misjudgment, bias, and irreversible consequences. Every time an innocent person is convicted of a crime they didn’t commit, it sends shockwaves not only through their life but through the entire framework of trust we place in the courts. These aren’t just headlines. These are real stories of wrongful convictions that show what happens when justice fails—and why it matters for all of us.

How a Small Town Covered Up a Major Crime
Small towns often carry a reputation for charm, closeness, and quiet streets. But sometimes, behind that peaceful surface lies something darker—secrets people are willing to bury to protect their own. In many places, it’s not the size of the crime that determines justice, but the power of those involved and the fear of shattering the town’s image. I never expected to witness it firsthand, but I did. And what I saw changed how I see justice forever. This is the story of how a small town covered up a major crime—and why no one ever talks about it.

The Jessica Lal Murder: When Power Pulled the Trigger
**Hello guys, my name is Asad Taizai and welcome back to another case study with me.** On the night of **29th April 1999**, a crime occurred that involved some of the most powerful people in the country. And as we all know, when it comes to power, the scales of justice often tip in favor of the influential. There seems to be a different law for common people and a completely different one for the rich and politically backed. I'm not just saying this without basis—we all remember the **Pune Porsche case**, the **Jiah Khan case**, and the **RG Kar Medical case** where money and power were used either to delay justice or deny it entirely.

Echoes in the Rain: The Brighton Boy Who Walked Into the Sea
Brighton, with its salt-laced air and pastel-painted lanes, is the kind of place where mystery feels out of place. It’s a city of seagulls, surfboards, secondhand bookstores, and stony beaches where people gather with fish and chips under striped parasols. But in the early autumn of 2011, just as the summer crowds thinned and the skies began to frown, something happened that would ripple through the seaside town for years to come.
