Episode 16 - Bible John Part Two.

Today’s episode is the conclusion to our Bible John series. This one has so many twists and turns that you will find hard to believe. Even if you think you know the case you will still be surprised. 
There is corruption, coverups and leads old and new. Was this the work of one psychopath or multiple different criminals? We will let you decide after hearing the facts. 
One thing is certain, these cases were mishandled from the outset and there should be an investigation into that and the murders again with new eyes and new technology.  Patricia, Jemima and Helen deserve it.

Episode 15 - Bible John Part 1

It’s here! Episode 1 of our Bible John coverage. This is an incredibly tense, frustrating and barbaric ride. Today we cover what life was like for these women, living in 1960’s Glasgow and their murders. 
We find out that my wee mum Liz has more than a few parallels to the victims and we have a bit of banter too. 
This case is synonymous with Glasgow and it’s that case of love to see solved. It’s frustrating, riveting and scary all at the same time. It’s basically Glasgow’s Jack the Ripper.

Episode 14 - The Life and Crimes of Daniel LaPlante.

Today’s cases are truly terrifying. I know I always say this but I mean it. It’s the stuff of nightmares. I could imagine this in a scary movie. 
This is the life and crimes of Daniel LaPlante. I can only describe him as a monster, a devil, a truly unhinged human. 
He was spurned after one date with Tina Bowen and went on to do the most insane acts as revenge. 
This will haunt you.

Episode 13 - Sonia Carmen Herok-Stone

Today’s episode is one we chose to remind everyone that it’s never too late to receive justice. More importantly, it shows how one crime or act of violence can ripple through a family and change everyone’s life forever. 
 
Sonia was a beautiful, self sufficient, single mother. When she came home from dropping her daughter off at school she was attacked, abused and murdered. 
 
Police thought they knew who killed her but a jury wasn’t so sure. It would take over 40 years for detectives to have the answers they needed. In that time a killer was free and a family were torn apart by accusations, doubts and grief. At the center of it all is a void that no one could fill and a daughter who needed answers.

Episode 12 - Jennifer Schuett

Today’s episode is a little different from cases we have covered before. Yes it’s devastatingly horrific. Yes, it’s a crime committed by an absolute animal. But no, his victim doesn’t die. This is a SURVIVAL tale. 
Little Jennifer Schuett endured horrors you can’t even imagine but she was strong. She fought for justice, for 20 years she would push to show she was stronger than the psychopath who hurt her. She wouldn’t rest until he was off the streets and unable to hurt anyone else. 
You don’t want to miss this one.

Episode 11 - Lisa Ann French.

We say this all the time but this episode really is very disturbing. It made our hearts ache and we cried together while talking about little 9 year old Lisa.
On October 31st 1973 she did what all children do, she went out trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. When she failed to return as expected, her mother wasted no time getting police and locals to search for her. Unfortunately she would cross paths with a psychotic pedophile before they could find her. 
This man is a monster and what Lisa endured is beyond horrific. His actions have resulted in new rules and laws in Fond Du Lac and the state of Wisconsin as a whole and they are still being followed to this day. 
 
Please understand that we cover some things that are hard to hear and process in this episode. We understand if you want to skip or fast forward parts.

Episode 10 - Peter Tobin.

If I picture the monster under the bed, I see this guys face. Today’s episode covers the life and crimes of Peter Tobin, a Scottish born sadistic, psychopath who killed at least 3 young women.  
His cruelty was extensive and abhorrent. This particular episode does have a warning for content that some may find disturbing.

Episode 9 - The Aberfan Disaster

On The 21st of October, just after school had begun. A spoil tip from the coal mine above the village of Aberfan, in Wales, began to slide down the mountain and into the two schools below.
The devastation was complete and the town, and country, were changed forever. It is one of the worst mining disasters the world has ever seen, and it still holds the record for the most devastating event, involving children, in UK history. 
The story is heartbreaking but the frustration and grief the families felt was made worse by the lack of accountability of those who could have stopped it from happening in the first place. Corruption, government coverups and trauma abound in this story.
We recorded this a while ago but held it back to come out just 4 days before the 59th anniversary of the fateful event. Lest we forget.

Episode 8 - The Sunderland Strangler.

In today’s episode we cover the murders committed by the despicable, sadistic, Sunderland Strangler. This evil s.o.b could have, and should have been caught earlier. Unfortunately there was a lack of interest or effort from the police and it would take 4 deaths before this murderer was arrested for his crimes. 
This one infuriated us and our hearts ache for the families who fought so hard to get justice for their boys and to ensure a serial killer was taken off of their streets.

Episode 7 - The Legend of Sawney Bean and the MacKenzie Poltergeist

Happy fall y’all! Episode 7 is here for your earballs. It’s the first of two Halloween themed episodes coming to you this month because we love spooky season!
Today’s stories, yes there are two for you to enjoy, are spooky and eerie. The first was the inspiration for Wes Cravens, ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, the tale of Sawney Bean. 
The second is the story of what many believe is the most dangerous spirit in the UK, Edinburgh’s MacKenzie Poltergeist.
You will hear me sing, (don’t let that put you off), my mum laugh till she cries, lots of Scottish words, exorcisms, deaths, a little history and, of course, gore and murder.
