BuzzFeed Unsolved: True Crime returns with season 5 episode 2, entitled "The Unusual Australian Shark Arm Murders." In this new episode, co-hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej investigate a bizarre and gruesome case that happened in Australia in the 1930s.

The story begins when a local fisherman caught a tiger shark off the coast of Sydney. As he was cutting open the shark, he discovered a fully intact human arm inside its stomach. The police were immediately called to the scene and they began investigating the origins of the arm. Eventually, they were led to a man named Jim Smith, who had recently gone missing. Smith's friends and family identified the arm as his, but the rest of his body was nowhere to be found.
