  • 45. DOORSTOP MURDERS: The harrowing case of Tania Furlan, plus what really happened to Jill Dando?

    56:14||Season 5, Ep. 45
    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at two doorstop murders that have never been solved...  One afternoon in July 1996, 27 year old mother of three, Tania Furlan, answered a knock on the door at her home in Auckland, New Zealand. What happened next is one of the most heartbreaking, pointless and unresolved cases we've looked at on the podcast. Who really murdered Tania? What was the motive behind the killing? And will anyone ever be brought to justice? Listen now to hear the twists and turns in Tania's story, plus a moving recollection of Tania from one of her close friends. Geordie then follows with a look at one of the UK's most baffling doorstop murders: the shocking death of beloved 90s TV host and reporter, Jill Dando.

With a Netflix documentary reigniting new interest in the cold case, Geordie delves into some new motives for her death and explores a theory that has to do with sexual assault, Russian mafia, model-agency bosses and a case of mistaken identity. So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about ABBA, vinyl robes and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at air disasters… On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 from Moscow hit a DHL cargo plane mid air above the German town on Überlingen, near the Swiss border.

Listen now to Geordie’s take on this tragedy and the devastating consequences in the aftermath.   When we board a plane, how do we know who’s really behind the wheel? On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot 593 departed Moscow for Hong Kong. The plane never arrived. As one of the most avoidable air crashes in aviation history, what really happened on that flight to send the plane crashing into a Siberian mountain range? Was it a flight-system malfunction? Pilot incompetence? Or were there kids in the cockpit that put the plane on a flight path to f*cked? It’s a harrowing ride, so fasten your seatbelts and adopt the brace position for Michelle’s deep dive into this terrible tragedy.   So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about MAFS UK, Christmas food and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.

    01:00:28||Season 5, Ep. 41
    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at heartbreaking stories of people who went into the woods and never returned…  When 26 year old Terrence Woods Jnr signed up for a TV production job that would take him deep into the wild Idaho mountains, his father expected Terrence to be away filming for around 6 weeks, then back home to Maryland. Sadly, Terrence never returned from the trip and the truth of what happened remains a puzzling mystery that confounds his father, his friends and former colleagues. Did Terrence really run off a cliff? Was he struggling with mental-health issues? Or is there something else at play? Listen now for the lowdown.   Geordie follows with the heartbreaking case of Colorado mother Rebecca Vance, who took her sister Christine and her 13 year old son, Talon, into the woods and never returned. In August 2022, during the height of the pandemic’s conspiracy-theory frenzy, Rebecca, who had no outdoor-survival skills, convinced her sister and Talon to exit civilisation so they could live a life off-grid on a 10,000ft mountain in Colorado. In winter. They had a tent, some packets of noodles and a handful of life straws for purifying water. What happened next is a tragedy that could so easily have been avoided. Why did Rebecca want to live in the wilderness? How did she choose such a remote spot? And what happened once she got to the middle of nowhere?
