A body surfaced from an abandoned mine after days of relentless rain. What investigators uncovered next would expose not only a serial killer, but years of disappearances that authorities had failed to investigate.
On April 14, 2019, a photographer walking near an old mineshaft in Mitsero, Cyprus, discovered the remains of Mary Rose Tiburcio, a domestic worker who had been missing for almost a year. Six days later, a second woman was recovered from the same shaft—and the case began to widen.
The trail led police to a Cypriot National Guard captain, a dating-app account, a handwritten confession and a series of search operations across flooded mines, wells and the mineral-stained waters of the Red Lake. But as each victim was identified, another disturbing question emerged: how had so many women and children vanished without anyone seriously looking for them?
Join Megan as she investigates the Mitsero Murders, the seven lives hidden beneath Cyprus and the institutional failures that allowed a serial killer to remain undetected for years. Stay to the end to discover why the rain—not the police—finally brought this case to light.
The Mitsero Murders became Cyprus’s first known serial killer case. But the story it exposed was far bigger than one man.
