On February 7th, 2012, nightclub owner, Bruno Bronn was discovered strangled to death in his Cape Town home. All of Bruno's friends knew exactly who did it and the police quickly arrested him and three of his associates but the story he spun told a very different story.

When gay New Orleanians headed out to the UpStairs Lounge in the French Quarter on Sunday, June 24th, 1973, they had no idea that many of them would never be returning home. A fire started in the main stairwell leading up to the bar quickly spread, as patrons desperately tried to escape the burning building. Until the Pulse Nightclub Massacre in 2016, this was the worst loss of Queer life in American history. In Part 3, we look at the aftermath of the fire, including the total disregard and lack of compassion for the victims displayed by politicians, law enforcement, religious figures and the public.

When Joey and Anisha van Niekerk didn’t arrive in Pretoria for Joey’s father’s funeral on December 11th, 2017, their families knew something was wrong and drove to the women’s farm in Mooinooi, in North West Province. They found the farm untouched but, when they encountered Koos Strydom, who rented a workshop from the couple, his story didn’t quite add up. This is the story of how greed brought about the senseless murder of two women all because of a farm.
