This is Crime House.
A young mother books an overseas modeling gig, but when she arrives, she's drugged, abducted, and held for ransom by what seems to be a dangerous dark web crime syndicate.
The media storms Chloe Ayling from the moment she arrives home and begins demanding answers from her. But once she's released, her nightmare just intensifies.

I feel like this is one where I was deeply upset doing my research. It's so frustrating.
So frustrating. It's the classic... Well, I mean, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. But there's so many times that I wanted to throw my computer across the room.
I... genuinely I watched so many interviews that Chloe Ailing did and again you guys will see a lot of clips throughout this episode of these interviews I've never been so mad like throw the computer like I'm like are these people idiots like Pierce Morgan has no ops we're dead I mean the guy from 60 Minutes Australia Liam Bartlett Dude, are you even listening to her? You're asking her the same question 10 times. Victim shaming. Yeah. Victim blaming like galore. I'm like, what are we doing here?
We're going to show you guys a lot of clips today from these interviews because I want everyone to be sounding off in the comments on just what they think of them.
Yeah, and you guys might have heard of this case before. You might have an opinion based on the media and what you saw out there. A lot of people still do in the comments. Going through comments on some YouTube videos is really, really jarring still. But when presented with evidence and going through this investigation, let us know if that changes for you. Let us know if you learned something new that you didn't before. Without further ado.
Yeah. So like I said, we're going to be showing you guys some videos. You're also going to see some pictures and stuff that'll help you visualize the case. And if you're listening, you're going to see all that same stuff on our Instagram. That's at clues podcast on social and you should follow us there anyways.
Yeah. And just a warning before we begin, this episode does contain discussions of kidnapping, stalking, essay, human trafficking, sex work. And as always, please just listen with care.
Our case today starts on July 10th, 2017. 20-year-old British model, also new mom Chloe Ayling, steps off a plane in Milan, Italy, where she's booked a photo shoot for a motorcycle ad that following day. After she collects her bags, Chloe lets her mom and her agent know that she made it there safely. Chloe's an experienced traveler. She is used to going places alone. And plus, her agent, this guy named Phil Green, set up the gig for her. The client even paid her a fee of 1,200 British pounds in advance, equivalent to around $1,600 in US dollars today. And Chloe briefly met the photographer once before on a job in Paris. So she takes her taxi to a hotel where the client has booked her a room And after checking in, she spends the day working out at the hotel, eating lunch and dinner and doing a little shopping in the Italian boutiques.
The next morning, July 11th, she wakes up early for her 8.30 a.m. shoot. She checks out of the hotel and takes her luggage with her since she's going to be flying back to the UK after she wraps the shoot that night.
