The murder of Pille

Andreas and Pille both grew up in a strictly religious environment in a small Estonian town marked by psychological and physical violence. The podcast Murder by the Baltic Sea investigates in its first episode how their marriage ended in a brutal murder.

In October 2018, Jesse Rothe killed the retired cosmetologist Lynn Hernan by adding the poison tetrahydrozoline to her drinks. The murder was the culmination of an extensive financial fraud scheme, where Rothe drained the victim's accounts of over $300,000.
