Mark Martin always had time for the hungry and homeless, but he was no Samaritan.
He took what little they had – their benefits, their drugs, their remaining shreds of dignity. And when he had sucked them dry, he disposed of them like garbage.

So if you believe in a god, or none at all, pray they're stopped before they inflict this kind of suffering on the world.

It was 1970, the height of the Cold War. Stories of espionage started circulating. And the more amateur sleuths probed the mystery the more baffling the story became.
So we decided to unravel the case – and lay to rest the so-called Isdal Woman once and for all.
