0:14.4

Makeup podcast each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals

0:19.0

in history and today we're going to be talking about the case of Daniel James Holden, who is sometimes

0:25.1

known as the suitcase killer, but he has also been referred to as Australia's most sadistic

0:31.8
