Hi Park enthusiasts, I'm your host Diambra, and the case I'm going to tell you about today happened in one of the most picturesque places on Earth.

It's literally the landscape that inspired fairy tales like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

But sadly, this story is anything but a fairy tale.

This case is the embodiment of a worst-case scenario of stranger danger. It happened in June

2023 just last summer and it quickly dominated international headlines. The two

victims of this crime were visiting Neusvenstein Castle in southern Germany

when they were solicited by a man they didn't know who promised to show them a private

trail he said only he knew about. The end result was a brutal attack so heartless and

so violent that to this day the victims families and the world press still can't

comprehend it. For those of you who don't know,

Neus vanstein Castle is a historic structure known for its medieval aesthetic,

breathtaking beauty,

and iconic Gothic stone towers

scattered amongst a myriad of palatial rooms.

The King of Bavaria began the process of rebuilding and refurbishing the castle in the 1860s,

but it took over a decade to complete and wasn't finished until the 1880s.

Today you can go inside of the castle if you pay for a guided tour,

but some visitors just prefer looking at it from the outside and marveling at its grandeur.

It's a popular spot to snap a quick photo, and trust me, the millions of people who visit it every year have done just that. But in the summer of

2023 the cameras and law enforcement personnel that flooded the scenic area

were far less interested in social media influencing and much more focused on solving a brutal murder.
