Murder Mysteries | 60 Minutes Full Episodes
In a Nutshell
Three major murder mysteries remain unsolved decades later: Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found shot the day before exposing alleged government-Iran collusion over the 1994 AMIA bombing; Canadian weapons designer Gerald Bull was professionally executed in Belgium while building a "supergun" for Iraq; and journalist Henry Louu was assassinated in California by Taiwan's Bamboo Gang on orders from their military intelligence. Each case involves powerful governments, professional hits, and conflicting official narratives that prevented justice for victims.

In the late hours of a January night in Buenos Aires, Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead in his apartment with a bullet to the head. The death occurred the day before he was to publicly present evidence that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had secretly conspired with Iran to cover up Iran's involvement in Argentina's worst terrorist attack 20 years prior.
The case immediately became an international mystery due to the key players: a high-profile prosecutor and a populist president known for high drama. Questions arose whether it was murder, government involvement, or suicide.
Forensic teams found only the victim's DNA at the crime scene. Alberto Nisman was 51 years old, a father of two, and a prosecutor with 10 bodyguards and numerous enemies. In the days before his death, Nisman expressed concern for his and his family's safety. Hours before dying, he borrowed a gun from Diego Lagomarsino, a tech worker in his office.
"Do you know how it feels that your daughters don't want to be with you because they're afraid that something will happen to them by being next to you?"
When asked why he needed the weapon given his bodyguards, Nisman replied, "Because I don't trust my bodyguards."
On Sunday morning, January 18th, Nisman was in his 13th-floor apartment. He did not respond to repeated phone calls from bodyguards. The coroner determined he died around 3:00 p.m. in his bathroom, slumped against the door, struck by a bullet at point-blank range above his right ear.
