What if the bustling corridors of a prestigious opera house concealed a dark secret? This episode unravels the haunting mystery of Helen Minkus, a brilliant violinist whose life was tragically cut short at the Metropolitan Opera House. We chronicle Helen's extraordinary rise from a humble farm in British Columbia to her celebrated performances at Juilliard and the Met. The story takes a harrowing turn on July 23rd, 1980, during a Berlin Ballet intermission, when Helen inexplicably vanished, only to be discovered dead and nude in a ventilation shaft the next day. Amidst thousands of unsuspecting spectators, her absence went unnoticed, painting a chilling picture of her untimely and enigmatic demise.
Join us as we dissect the relentless investigation that ensued, focusing on the meticulous police work that led to over 800 interviews and zeroed in on 21-year-old stagehand Craig Crimmins. We explore how his intimate knowledge of the opera house and missed performance cue raised alarms, ultimately linking him to the crime through specific knots and a telltale handprint. The narrative reaches a spine-tingling climax when Crimmins, drunk and spurned, confesses to the horrific act, offering a disturbing glimpse into his disturbed psyche. Don't miss our closing segment, where we invite you to connect with us on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook for more updates and behind-the-scenes content. Cheers to another captivating episode of Murder and Mimosas!
