Vlado Taneski made a name for himself for his in-depth coverage of a serial killer’s actions in his home town of Kicevo, Macedonia. Four elderly women in the town mysteriously disappeared under similar circumstances between 2003 and 2008.
Thanks to what appeared to be amazing investigative reporting from Nova Makedonija journalist Vlado Taneski, three of the missing women’s bodies were found. Before the location of the fourth body was revealed, police were able to correctly pinpoint the real killer. It was the reporter, Vlado Taneski! Taneski later took his own life in prison.
