Evil, once it is inside a person, never really goes away - it may remain dormant for many years, but it is always there. To the horror of a Peterborough family back in 2018, the evil that was dormant in one such individual stirred with the most horrific of consequences - at the same time, reactivating the nightmare that a Derbyshire family had spent almost four decades trying to deal with.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a vulnerable adult and a child, and including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic Dial M For Murder is a celebrated work that has been remade for both the big and small screen, and the stage, and which concerns the tale of a cheating wife, a scheming husband, and an elaborate murder plot. In 2007, a court in South Wales was to hear it's very own version, and just how life imitated art...

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.

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.

Christine Lakinski, Brent Martin, and David Atherton. The accounts you will hear in this episode concern three people who never knew one another, and indeed, lived many miles apart, but who in the space of just a year, became part of the same sad and disturbing set of statistics. Each were vulnerable adults, and each became prey for, the only word that can possibly describe the actions of some individuals, animals.

We head back to 2005, and to the town of St Austell in the beautiful UK county of Cornwall this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a disturbing tale that shows just how perverse and barbaric the actions of some are, how they prey upon and use the vulnerable for their own means, even those who have next to nothing. The cruelty that some people can show - for their own entertainment.
