## Resource

In 1918, Russia’s last royal family vanished into the chaos of revolution. Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, and their five children were being held by Bolshevik forces as the Russian Empire collapsed around them, and rumors about their fate quickly spread across the world. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, Carter Roy examines the final days of the Romanov family, the secretive execution that ended a dynasty, and the decades of mystery that followed as rumors of surviving heirs and hidden graves fueled one of history’s most enduring royal mysteries.
