Case 247
Nina Puganova, Irina Trasyn & Anastasia Mikhailova
In the summer of 1980, Theodosius Glukharev received a series of harrowing deliveries to his home in Kishinev, Soviet Moldova. The contents ultimately unravelled the murders of three women – Nina Puganova, Irina Trasyn & Anastasia Mikhailova.
An extortion attempt by the killer helped narrow down the suspect pool, but still, investigators were no closer to catching the killer. Who was this individual who had been dubbed a “blood thirsty maniac?”
