About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "FROM THE VAULT - Babis Anagnostopoulos: The Fitbit Killer | #389" from RedHanded covers the murder of 19-year-old Caroline Crouch, whose death was initially presented as the result of a home invasion in Greece. The episode is a re-release, brought back into circulation following an Amazon Prime documentary about the case.
Caroline Crouch was found dead in her attic room, with her 11-month-old daughter crying beside her body and the family's puppy hanging from the bannister. Her widower, helicopter pilot Babis Anagnostopoulos, publicly led tributes to his wife in the aftermath and was widely sympathized with as a grieving husband. The narrative shifted a month later at a clifftop memorial service, when Athenian police announced that new analysis of the couple's smart devices had identified a different culprit — one who had deceived not only investigators but an entire nation watching the case unfold. This revelation forms the basis of the case now known as The Fitbit Killer, referencing the digital evidence that ultimately unraveled the cover story.
