Matoaka Pocahontas, the legendary daughter of Powhatan, has been one of the most misunderstood stories in American history. The last chapter of her life is particularly intriguing.  She was sent to England to meet King James Ist.  It was part investment trip for the Virginia colonies. Part a spy trip for her father to check out his potential enemies.Matoaka Pocahontas was relatively well-treated by the English Royal Court.  One person described her, "as the most noble person there..."But when Matoaka left England, she boarded a ship, had dinner with her old kidnapper - the man who had human trafficked her - and was dead within two days. Was her death from natural causes or was the real cause much darker...?CrimeWaves investigates.. Please rate, review or like this episode at: www.crimewavespodcast.com www.declanhill.com Twitter: declan_hill Music Used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3REIVlo2Ss John Dowland’s Flow My Tears https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fkyt8-G0DEk An exercept from Ben Johnson’s Masque https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEWSeTQdBcM Haul on the Bowline - A song the English sailors would have sung. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9RA80xxnyI New Jersey Folk Festival showcase of Powhatan culture 00:00 The Early Life of Matoaka 03:50 Intro 05:53 Her Story 10:26 The Kidnapping of Matoaka 12:31 The Imprisonment of Matoaka 17:37 Matoaka in England 24:39 The Death of Matoaka 37:27 Outro #truecrimepodcast #truecrimemystery #coldcase #pocahontasSend us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

They call it a serial killer's graveyard. A lonely stretch of rural highway in Connecticut, where half a dozen women and a man were murdered and their bodies dumped. It was a yesteryear story. A nightmare hanging over from the 1990s:  unsolved, unresolved, and the killer still uncaught. Until three years ago, when the same thing happened, a young woman's body was discovered in exactly the same place...Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

On March 12th of 1932, one of the richest men in the world, Ivar Kreuger, was found dead in his Paris apartment. Kreuger was scheduled to meet and fund the then-democratic government in Germany. Kreuger never made it to the meeting, and the government fell, leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler.Kreuger's death was ruled a suicide by Parisian Police.  However, thirty-three years later Ivar Kreuger's younger brother, and many others, came forward to say it was a murder.  In this episode, we examine Ivar Kreuger's incredible life, loves, the unusual circumstances of his death, and all the different parties that could have wanted him dead from Stalin to a gang of Paris short-sellers to rival Swedish conglomerates to the Anglo-American banks who were backing Hitler. #Truecrimepodcast #CrimeWavespodcast #Murdermystery #coldcasesSend us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

In time for the US Congressional Hearings into the origins of Covid, we re-release this series - The Slow-Motion Chernobyl.  Originally broadcast in February/March 2022, it was censored and blocked on Twitter and LinkedIn.   Please listen. You will hear the true story of the Wuhan research laboratory complex.  You will not hear partisan political attacks but just the facts.   You will hear about the extraordinary censorship from film festivals to mainstream journalism to social media sites to the World Health Organization all to prevent you from knowing the true story of Covid.Listen.  Comment. Subscribe.And, as always, if there are any errors please let us know.  Unlike the agents of censorship, we will correct any mistakes!** The inside story of the most preventable, human-made disaster in history: the Covid virus that has affected countries around the world and killed somewhere between 18 and 24 million people. In our first episode - 'The Silent Chernobyl' - we showed how laboratory leaks occur frequently across the world but in China the safety standards are so low that it is common practice for some technicians to sell lab animals to local butchers for meat.   We examined the grotesque lack of professional standards in Chinese medical  labs - researching, against all common sense, dangerous viruses. In the second episode - ‘The Big Lie’ - we showed how Communist Chinese officials suppressed any investigation that may show the incompetence of their research infrastructure.Throughout these episodes -  we told the stories of what happened in China using their words of the extraordinary whistleblowers like Chen Qiushi or  Zhang Zhan - who have been imprisoned, tortured and possibly killed for their work in exposing the appalling response by the Communist officials.In this third episode, we examine how the Communist Chinese regime has been aided in their cover up by some of the largest international organizations, media companies and scientists. We call it ‘The Big Silence’...Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Head of the CIA has just announced - finally! - that Covid originated from the Wuhan Laboratory Complex.  Finally - because this is what we at CrimeWaves said three years ago.  At that point, we were shadow banned and censored on both Twitter and LinkedIn at the time of broadcast.  This is the re-release of our series 'The Slow-Motion Chernobyl'.  It tells the story  of the origin of the disease in a ridiculously stupid playing-at-God scientific experiment, the shockingly bad conditions inside Chinese research labs and the world censorship that took in Hollywood, academic articles and book publishing. This episode is particularly painful. It tells the story of the Chinese citizens who risked their lives to tell the truth about Covid. The world has, largely, forgotten their sacrifices. Listen and be shocked and moved by their courage. **These are the photos of Chinese whistleblowers and citizen journalists. All of them, and thousands more, have gone to prison camps because they wanted to bring you the truth about the appalling conditions in Wuhan during the early days of Covid. We examine the massive Communist Chinese campaign of disinformation - The Big Lie.  It stretches from the hospitals and laboratories of Wuhan, to Chinese prison-camps, to international film festivals, western social media companies and to the World Health Organization.  All to make sure there is little informed debate about why the Covid epidemic occurred and how we can stop from happening again. Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

This week (January 2025) the CIA announced that they believe the origin of Covid came from a laboratory leak."Our intelligence, our science and our common sense all really dictate that the origins of Covid was a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology."Finally.Three years after CrimeWaves released our series - The Slow-Motion Chernobyl.These are episodes that we, at CrimeWaves Podcast are both very proud of - the research is in-depth, shocking and has been proven absolutely correct - and still traumatized.   For this series and CrimeWaves was deliberately censored and shadowbanned by both Twitter/X and LinkedIn at the time of broadcast.  Please listen, you will hear nothing partisan, no personal or political attacks but it is the story of the greatest man-made plague in human history. ** It was a slow motion Chernobyl. Here is what, the balance of probabilities tells us about the origins of this Covid epidemic that haunts us all. It was the worst industrial accident in the history of humanity.In general, Chinese laboratory technicians are so badly trained, so ill-paid and so mis-guided that some of them used to sell infected research animals to local butchers.The specific virologists in Wuhan lab played God. They created super-virulent viruses, more powerful than anything natural. Their methods like “finding a gas leak with a match”.Their science so misguided nine years ago an academic warned of an 80% chance of a global epidemic.When the near-inevitable leak came, they covered it up.The Communist Chinese jailed anyone brave enough to warn the world.The World Health Organization (WHO) helped them.More than 12 million people have died and continue to die. It could happen again.On crimewavespodcast.com - we examine, in a special five-part series, the ‘Crime of the Century’ - how it occurred and how it was covered-up. Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

It is the most Important, unsolved murder in the world today. Just after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, peace talks began between the two countries. A few days later, at the negotiations, there was an alleged case of poisoning where a number of the delegates, mysteriously, feel ill.  Then one of the Ukrainian team - Denys Kireev - was gunned down on the streets of Kiev.   Immediately after his death, another Ukrainian peace negotiator fled to the Polish border. He was arrested and put in prison for months.Why were some of the people at these important peace talks targeted and by whom?The peace deal between Russia and Ukraine was eventually sabotaged by the US and UK governments.Yet three years after the murder there have been no trials or even an arrest. On CrimeWaves, we are joined by Professor Ivan Katchanovski of the University of Ottawa to discuss the unsolved murder of the Ukrainian negotiator and the circumstances around the undermining of the peace deal that would have prevented the deaths of hundreds-of-thousands of people. #UkrainianRussiaWar #truecrimepodcast #Russiaukrainewar #Putin #CIA  Send us a textPlease subscribe, rate, review or like this episode of CrimeWaves at YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
