And today's episode is one that actually came out on the feed early last year.
But since then, there's been some really compelling coverage by The Telegraph and an entire limited series podcast by Katherine Rushton for that publication.
The episodes are available now on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
And as soon as those came out in November 2025, I was glued.
You hear from the victims' surviving brothers and so many more people integral to the investigation.
So if you want a refresher to get you up to speed, listen to my episode right now and then go get even more in-depth coverage and the absolute latest by checking out The Telegraph's podcast and reporting.
Something to note, this crime took place in Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya in 1988.
According to Masai Mara Travel's website, the reserve borders Tanzania's Serengeti National Park, and it sits in the southwest part of Kenya.
It's more than 370,000 acres in size and features some of the most unique wildlife in the world.
Zebras, wildebeests, rhinos, lions, giraffes, elephants, and other species roam freely in this stretch of Africa's savanna, which is why the area attracts so many people to go on safari there.
The word Maasai in the reserve's name refers to the Maasai tribe that lived in the area long before British colonization took place at the turn of the 20th century.
The tribe was known for its semi-nomadic lifestyle, herding livestock, and bright red robes that male warriors don.
Today, Masai is spelled the way British settlers spelled it, with two A's instead of three.
But the proper way of spelling it is actually M-A-A-S-A-I.
Back in the day when soldiers from Great Britain forced many tribe members off their native land, bloodshed ensued.
The hand weapons that Maasai warriors carried were outmatched by their invaders' firearms.
And in the early 1900s, some members of the tribe signed agreements with white settlers to hand over two-thirds of their most fertile land.
