Predators Without Borders: The Hippie Trail Killer and the Bank Robbing Couple | Double Episode

WATCH: https://youtu.be/AG4DhIvDgKg This gripping double episode of Interpol Investigates examines two notorious cases that required unprecedented international cooperation to solve. In "The Serpent," viewers follow the terrifying trail of Charles Sobhraj, a sophisticated and charismatic killer who targeted Western backpackers along Southeast Asia's hippie trail in the 1970s. Posing as a gem dealer, Sobhraj gained victims' trust before drugging, robbing, and ultimately murdering them. Despite leaving bodies across Thailand, Nepal, and India, his manipulative genius and multiple identities allowed him to slip through authorities' fingers repeatedly. Only through the relentless pursuit of Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg, who painstakingly built a case after the disappearance of two Dutch travelers, was Sobhraj finally brought to justice. The companion case, "Dangerous Company," chronicles the crime spree of lovers Craig Pritchert and Nova Guthrie, who evolved from amateur thieves into a sophisticated bank robbing duo that terrorized financial institutions across the American West during the 1990s. Using meticulous planning and military precision, Pritchert would control bank employees with a calm demeanor while Guthrie served as the getaway driver. After stealing nearly $500,000 and realizing the FBI was closing in, the couple fled to Cape Town, South Africa, where they assumed new identities. Their capture required coordinated efforts across multiple countries, with Interpol serving as the crucial link between U.S. authorities and South African police, demonstrating how even the most elusive criminals cannot escape the long reach of international law enforcement cooperation. Interpol Investigates takes viewers inside the complex investigations of the worlds most vital, and least understood law enforcement organization. Using a seamless blend of first person interviews, archival footage and vivid dramatizations, Interpol Investigates will tell the stories of terrible crimes... international cooperation... and world class justice. #KillerCrime #FullFreeMovies #CharlesSobhraj #TheSerpent #SerialKiller #InternationalCrime #InternationalCrime #Interpol Welcome to ‘Killer’ Crime, where we delve into the intriguing world of crime.
