Uncover the Latest Episode

On September 13, 1997, six men pulled off one of the biggest heists in American History. The men entered the Dunbar Armored facility in Los Angeles, California, and stole $18.9 million in under an hour. The case remained unsolved for two years, until a witness and a taillight provided the authorities with long-awaited leads.

In 1946, a 19 year old woman was thrust into financial and social uncertainty after losing her job. Soon after, she met a handsome and wealthy stranger who offered her a deal that seemed too good to pass up. Her mission would be to find evidence against a suspected jewel thief. An exciting proposition, as she was a fan of detective novels. Now she found herself in one. But unbeknownst to her, she was actually being pulled into a sinister and shocking plot. Welcome to Generation Why's Strange Stories.
