Murder, kidnap, fraud and more from some of the world's coldest nations.

From Podimo, Cold Blood: Nordic True Crime is a weekly series based on a hit Danish podcast, exploring startling true crimes from Scandinavia - crimes that made headlines and gripped the region.

Hear about Jytte and Mette, who were held captive for years by the leader of a biker gang. The story of the Black Widow, who killed two men and almost got away with it. Or the kidnapping of 5-year-old Oliver, a story that held Denmark in its grip for months on end.

Research and text by Martin Hylander. Produced by Roboto for Podimo.
