  • 23. E23: The murder of Mike Williams - The Ultimate Betrayal

    01:16:45||Season 1, Ep. 23
    In episode 23 we discuss the murder of Mike Williams who lived in Bradfordville with his wife Denise. It’s a case of betrayal that I think we’d all like to hope would never ever happen to us and it seems unfathomable that these events would ever unfold in the first place. Cases like this remind you that you can never tell the face of a killer and goes to show that sometimes it is those closest to us that can be the most dangerous. So on that cheery note, lets explain the tragic case of a family man who went missing, while doing one of the things he loved the most...There’s lots of twists and turns and it took detectives years to learn the truth and bring the murderers to justice. #truecrimepodcast #podcast #truecrimeinvestigation 
  • 22. E22: The Kicevo Monster

    01:25:25||Season 1, Ep. 22
    Today’s episode is intense and an absolute rollercoaster from start to finish. These murders only took place a few years ago it’s so interesting that they’ve gone relatively unnoticed in the wider media purely due to where they occurred. Annie & Beth talk through the horrific crimes of the Kičevo Monster, who committed these offences in Macedonia, which again, is not somewhere you typically hear of. Vlado committed his crimes in plain sight, and the case is so unbelievable to hear…

    01:13:31||Season 1, Ep. 21
    In Episode 21, Beth and Annie cover a complicated case, in that the evidence, despite looking like an open and shut investigation, was incredibly hard to come by. What makes the case even more complicated, is that there was seemingly no motive, and despite multiple witnesses being at the scene, there was no explanation for the actions that had taken place...
  • 20. E20: Discussing the evidence: Linking the crimes of The Killer Clown & The Candyman

    01:03:29||Season 1, Ep. 20
    Episode 20 is a little different to usual. Annie and Beth are discussing evidence which links serial killers Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy, suggesting they were both part of a more large-scale crime organisation. The pair have covered two of the most heinous case studies in modern America history, having given a voice to the victims who lost their lives at the hands of Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy. This ‘round-up’ episode shows the amount of evidence gathered in each case, suggesting their involvement in a paedophile ring so huge it’s difficult to comprehend. Again, this episode is incredibly sensitive and should be watched and listened to with caution.

    In Episode 18, Annie and Beth discuss their recent watches, what they've been binging on Netflix and the true crime podcasts they've been listening to recently. Recent case study episodes have been heavy going, so the pair thought that talking through what they've been up to and discussing their recent recommendations would provide a little light relief this week.

She documented her travels across social media, so loved ones could keep up to date with where she was and what she’d been up to. By December, Grace had travelled to New Zealand, a place she’d always wanted to go.On the 1st December, Grace arrived in Auckland, just a day before her birthday. Tragically, it was in an attempt to make birthday plans via Tinder that led to her murder. As always, the focus in this case is on Grace and telling her story. This episode also discusses the prevalence of the rough sex defence and how men are getting away with the most heinous, manipulative, planned, pre-meditated crimes by saying that females were "asking for it".If you would like to honour Grace's memory and donate to the charity set up by her family to help victims of domestic abuse, you can do so here - https://www.lovegrace.co.uk/If you need support - please contact https://www.nationaldahelpline.org.uk/ or other available resources.#truecrimepodcast #crimegenre #newzealand
