The Veil - A True Crime Podcast with Ryan Wolf

In the gas-lit slums of Victorian London, terror stalks the streets. Women are butchered with surgical precision. Bodies are left mutilated, posed, and abandoned in the shadows of Whitechapel. As panic spreads and the press fans the flames, police chase a killer who seems to vanish into the fog itself. This is the story of Jack the Ripper—his victims, his violence, and the city that bled while the world watched.

Plainfield, Wisconsin was a quiet farming town where everyone knew everyone else. That’s why no one paid much attention to the man who lived alone on the old family property at the edge of town. Ed Gein was polite, soft-spoken, and harmless — or so it seemed. But when Bernice Worden vanished in 1957, the door to Gein’s world was forced open. What investigators found inside wasn’t just evidence of murder — it was the collapse of a mind shaped by isolation, devotion, and grief. This episode pulls back the silence surrounding Plainfield, and the horror it unknowingly lived beside.

In June 1994, the brutal murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman ignited one of the most infamous trials in American history. Former NFL superstar O.J. Simpson stood accused, his white Bronco chase and televised courtroom drama gripping the world. But behind the spectacle lay a deeper story — of violence, celebrity, race, and a justice system pushed to its limits. In this episode of The Veil, we cut through the media frenzy to examine the evidence, the contradictions, and the haunting question that still divides America: what really happened that night on Bundy Drive?

In this haunting episode, The Veil turns its gaze toward the raw and dangerous territory of revenge. From small-town justice to national headlines, these are the stories of people who decided the system had failed — and took matters into their own hands. A father who pulls the trigger in front of rolling cameras. A community that snaps after years of terror. A killer who demands his own execution. Each act, born from grief, anger, or twisted morality, forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: where does justice end and vengeance begin?Told with restraint and precision, Vengeance peels back the thin line separating righteousness from ruin. Through police records, court transcripts, and the silence left behind, host Ryan Wolf guides listeners into the moments when reason gives way to rage — and the consequences that follow.Behind every act of retribution lies a wound that never healed. This is not a story about heroes or villains. It’s about what happens when the veil between justice and revenge finally tears.

On Valentine’s Day 2013, four gunshots shattered the stillness of a Pretoria night. By morning, one of the world’s most celebrated athletes — Oscar Pistorius — stood accused of killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. What followed was a courtroom drama broadcast to millions: a story of fame, fear, and a nation forced to question what it believed about its heroes.Told through transcripts, testimony, and the words of those who were there, this five-part series unravels the case that gripped the world — from the night of the shooting, through the investigation and trial, to the final appeal that changed everything.No speculation. No mythology. Just the facts, the evidence, and the human tragedy at the centre of it all.Because behind the veil of fame and justice lies a locked door — and the truth we may never fully know.

He called himself The Zodiac. A man who murdered without mercy, taunted without fear, and wrote his name into the history of American crime with ink, blood, and code. Between 1968 and 1970, he struck across Northern California — couples on quiet roads, a taxi driver in San Francisco, and perhaps others still unknown. Then he disappeared, leaving behind only letters, ciphers, and a symbol that came to define him: a circle and a cross.In this episode of The Veil, we return to those nights — to the still air over Lake Herman Road, the gunfire at Blue Rock Springs, the terror by the water at Lake Berryessa, and the quiet horror in Presidio Heights. Using only verified evidence and original records, we unravel the investigation that followed — the mistakes, the suspects, and the trail of arrogance the killer left behind.From Arthur Leigh Allen to the Case Breakers’ modern claim, from the unsolved ciphers to the endless theories, the story remains the same: a man who wanted to be both invisible and unforgettable.More than half a century later, the Zodiac’s true identity is still hidden — but his voice still echoes. “This is the Zodiac speaking,” he wrote. And maybe that’s the point. The murders ended, but the message never did.Because behind every mystery, there’s a darker one waiting — and the Zodiac still waits behind the veil.
