“Cold Case Podcast”

A fictional Limburg cold case from 1998, solved episode by episode as a team.

How it works

In 1998 musician Jules Mertens vanished after a fair night in the fictional Limburg village of Heuvelrade. The case was never solved. Now podcast host Tom reopens it in four episodes. Teams listen to each episode and then dig into a digital case file on their phone: interviews, photos, maps and press clippings. No role play and no acting, just puzzling together.
