"Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 (Part One): Murder Over Lockerbie"

On December 21, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 took off from London bound for New York and never made it across the Atlantic. Less than an hour after takeoff, a bomb hidden inside the plane exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground.

In this episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, Steve dives into the horrifying timeline of the Lockerbie bombing, the chaos that rained down on a quiet town, the massive international investigation that followed, and the theories, twists, and unanswered questions that still surround one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history.

This is the story of a flight destroyed in midair, a case that crossed continents, and a tragedy that still echoes decades later.

True Crime Stories
Welcome to Heists, Hustles, and Homicide - the true crime podcast where brains, betrayal, and blood all share the same spotlight.
I'm Steve your host, and each week, I’ll take you into the minds of the boldest criminals, the slickest con artists, and the darkest murderers history has to offer...in story format.
Some of these stories you’ve heard whispers of.
Some have been buried.
And some? They were never supposed to be uncovered at all.
We’ll crack open legendary heists that rewrote the rules…
We’ll follow the hustlers who schemed their way into the high life…
And we’ll revisit chilling homicides that still haunt investigators - and victims’ families - decades later.
But this isn’t just about crime.
It’s about people.
What drives someone to pull off the perfect con - or the perfect murder?
Is it desperation? Greed? Ego? Revenge?
Each episode, we’ll unravel one real-life case - beginning to end.
Some episodes will play out like thrillers.
Others will feel like puzzles missing a single, crucial piece.
And in every one, we’ll ask the same question:
How far would you go?
So whether you're into high-stakes break-ins, twisted lies, or unsolved crimes that keep you up at night - welcome.
You’ve found your new obsession.
This is Heists, Hustles, and Homicide.
Make sure to follow the show, and buckle up.
