Chasing Ghosts is a NZ Herald true crime series, looking at some of the most notable cases from our past. In the new season, The Puppeteer, David Fisher re-investigates the case of a serial catfisher he exposed in 2011, after discovering there is more to the story. In the original Chasing Ghosts, Anna Leask looks into the disappearance of Amber-Lee Cruickshank, one of New Zealand's most baffling missing person investigations. Murder in the Sounds explores the ongoing debate about the disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, and the arrest of Scott Watson. Below the Surface unpacks the multiple investigations in the death of Goy Thongsi. Murder at the Racecourse Hotel takes us back in time to look at one of New Zealand's oldest cold cases, that has gone unsolved for nearly a century.
