There are countless memorials to the brave personnel of the Armed Forces scattered around the UK, but one of these, in Surrey, contains the names of several service personnel whose military service is overshadowed by one thing - the execution each faced for the heinous crimes they committed, not as an act of war, but as a case of murder. This time around, I bring you the tales of two of these.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening. There is also a racial slur used within the episode, and it should be stated categorically that the use of this does not reflect the views of myself or the show, it is featured merely because it is relevant to the tale in question.

Concluding the horrifying and tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, the girl snatched whilst cycling home in Germany in 1981, only to be found 17 days later in the most nightmarish of circumstances. Though it was to take almost 27 years, in 2008 the wheels of justice finally began to turn for Ursula and her family. Except that once they had, the case became perhaps more controversial than it was before - with no one feeling this more strongly than Ursula's family.  Concluding a tale you'll never forget.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including a description of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

It was supposed to be a simple 10 minute cycle ride home, like she had done countless times before that late September evening of 1981 - but it was never to be. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in the first of a two part story, I venture in a first for the show outside of the UK and Ireland and head to Germany, where I bring you the tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann.

Hitchhiking brings with it countless dangers, as we have seen on screen countless times and with the exploits of killers such as the West's, but for many years it was a commonplace thing to do, the dangers not thought about, merely the destination. In the winter of 1995, one such hitcher, a 19 year old French student named Celine Figard, accepted a ride that she was sadly, never to finish. Her last ride.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Back in 1983, 14 year old Gillian Atkins had one love in her life - her horses, she was horse mad from a young age. Devoting her life to them, there were even rumblings of Gillian having a possible Olympic shot in her chosen field, so capable was she - until one April evening, that came to a crashing halt. As did Gillian's life.
