EP52: Olympic Gold Murderer: The Case of Oscar Pistorius

By Tank Sinatra & Investigator Slater

On Valentine's Day 2013, a truly devastating tragedy unfolded: Reeva Steenkamp, a 29-year-old South African former model, TV personality, and law graduate, adored for her vibrant spirit, was brutally gunned down in her boyfriend's bathroom. The scene that law enforcement encountered was one of stark and shocking contrast: beside Reeva's bloodied and broken form stood none other than global icon Oscar Pistorius, the internationally acclaimed Olympic and Paralympic sprinter. At 27-years-old, Pistorius, an athlete with both legs amputated below the knee, earned global acclaim as "The Blade Runner." His extraordinary athleticism and determination defied the odds and inspired millions worldwide. Yet, in this harrowing moment, Pistorius transformed in the public eye from a celebrated figure to a cold-blooded killer, ominously dubbed "The Blade Gunner." The case sent shockwaves around the world as people grappled with the horrifying descent of a beloved hero into an infamous murderer.
