The video game that revealed the murderer of Markham

The video game that revealed the murderer of Markham: The massacre of the Saman family On July 27, 2019, a young man streamed live to strangers in ten countries while he murdered four members of his family. He then went to sleep, played video games, and waited calmly. The local police did not react - but a network of digital hunters on Discord did. In this episode, we explore how ten strangers tracked the murderer through reverse image searches, PayPal payments, and emergency requests to gaming servers while the authorities slept. We unravel eight years of college lies, a false online identity, and a confession that revealed a calculated crime - not impulsive - with roots in 2016.
