.TRUE CRIME ARCHIVES: VOLUME THREE - When the System Failed

Some crimes are committed by individuals. Some are committed by institutions. The third volume of True Crime Archives examines both.

Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas in 2004 for arson murders that leading fire scientists concluded never happened. The Central Park Five spent between six and thirteen years in prison before the real perpetrator came forward. Henry Lee McCollum sat on death row for thirty-one years - cited by name in a Supreme Court ruling as a justified candidate for execution - before DNA matched an entirely different man.

Nine hundred and nine people died at Jonestown. Seventy-six died at Waco. Thirty-nine bodies were found in matching Nike trainers in a rented house in Rancho Santa Fe. In each case, the question is not only what a charismatic leader did to his followers, but why no institution intervened before the body count began.

Harold Shipman was the most popular doctor in Hyde. He killed at least two hundred and fifteen of his patients. He was caught only when he forged a will. The Brinks-Mat gold generated a decade of murders in the British criminal underworld. Fred Hampton was twenty-one years old when a police unit - briefed with a floor plan supplied by an FBI informant - shot him in his bed.

Fifty cases. Five themes. The system that is supposed to protect us - and the question of what happens when it doesn't.
