In 1922, on a lonely farmstead deep in the Bavarian countryside, six people were slaughtered in one of the most chilling unsolved crimes in history. The family at Hinterkaifeck — Andreas and Cäzilia Gruber, their daughter Victoria, her two young children, and the new maid Maria — were found brutally murdered, their bodies hidden beneath straw in the barn. Yet the true horror lay not only in the killings themselves, but in the days that followed.Neighbors saw smoke rising from the chimney. The animals were fed, the dog barked then fell silent, and food was cooked inside the house — all while the family’s corpses lay cold. Whoever the killer was, they hadn’t fled. They had stayed.In this premiere episode of The Veil, investigative journalist Ryan Wolf pulls back the layers of one of true crime’s darkest mysteries. With immersive storytelling and chilling detail, he guides listeners through the ominous signs leading up to the murders, the grisly discovery that shocked the village, and the suspects who remain debated to this day.Footprints led from the forest to the farmhouse door — and then stopped. A century later, the question remains: who never walked back?While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.If you would like to suggest a case, you can message us via our website at www.brevityplus.comSubscribers get ad free listening to The Veil and all of our podcasts.
