Sisters in Crime

She kills

Female serial killers, fraudsters, violent feminists or cold-blooded sex offenders: in their true-crime podcast Sisters in Crime, Karolin Kandler and Jule Gölsdorf discuss murderous women. Every week, they examine a new case. What drives the world’s most vicious and insidious female offenders? Are they trying to eliminate a rival? Is financial gain a motive? Or is it simply pure sadistic pleasure?

Sharp-as-a-knife research

Karolin Kandler and Jule Gölsdorf are journalists, podcasters and TV presenters. They present true crime with depth, empathy and an analytical eye. At the same time, they combine their research with gripping storytelling and psychological insight. This creates a live experience that informs, moves and captivates in equal measure. The pair take the audience deep into the minds of the perpetrators, shedding light on the darker sides of human behaviour. Kandler and Gölsdorf also explore these questions: Why are we so fascinated by murder and crime? Why are women in particular drawn to true crime stories? And how do seemingly ordinary people become perpetrators?

Insights from Forensic Science

Joining us is forensic pathologist Prof. Dr Thomas Kamphausen, who analyses the cases from a forensic perspective. Using vivid case studies from his own practice, he provides insights into the work of forensic medicine. He also discusses various methods of homicide and what they reveal from a medical perspective – a glimpse behind the scenes that one rarely gets. Can there really be such a thing as the perfect murder? After this evening, you’ll certainly know more about it.
