Anatomy of a Stalker

A Danish true crime podcast has dedicated an episode to investigating cases involving a killer clown and a woman buried alive in a cardboard box. The Mørkeland podcast's coverage spans incidents allegedly occurring in Denmark, Australia, England, Shanghai, and Aarhus.

In August 1996, Belgian police arrested Marc Dutroux, an electrician who had spent months abducting, torturing, and sexually abusing young girls in a concealed basement dungeon. What emerged was a conspiracy involving multiple accomplices and at least six confirmed victims—some who survived, others who did not.

A new five-part podcast exploring stalking's psychological roots is drawing international attention for its systematic breakdown of predatory patterns. Hosted by award-winning journalist Ruchira Sharma and featuring forensic psychologist Dr. Rachael Wheatley, 'Anatomy of a Stalker' identifies five distinct stalker typologies based on decades of clinical research.
