One of the most powerful and corrupt politicians in American history, Boss Tweed may have embezzled as much as $200 million in government funds causing an uproar and scandal in 19th Century New York, beware the glded age...

In the late 19th Century nearly 200 American heiresses were sent across th Atlantic to marry members of British and European nobility, these wealthy young women's dowries could save entire estate, castle or even a Dukedom. These were the Dollar Princesses, the most famous of which was Consuelo Vanderbilt, the cream of Gilded Age society. This arranged marriage, like many others, was no fairy tale.

15 year old Emanuela Orlandi went to a music lesson in Rome, on one of the hottest days of the Summer, 1983. She is still to this day the only Vatican citizen to go missing, and this teenager's disappearance is one of the most baffling cases in Italian criminal history. As if ripped out of teh pages of a Dan Brown novel, there are so many twists, turns, shock revelations and red herrings in a story that swirls around the Sicilian Mafia, God's Banker, Avon cosmetics, a gangster's moll, a dungeon, an international assasin, prophecies, miracles, the KGB and even the Pope himself.

I hope you're ready for this one, it's the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, the Vatican Girl.
