The Millionaire & The Murder Suicide / Christopher Foster

Season 8, Ep. 11

At first glance, the Foster family possessed all the trappings of a picture-perfect life; a sprawling mansion worth £1.2 million nestled in the quiet expanse of Maesbrook, Shropshire, a privately educated daughter, and a fleet of luxury cars. In the summer of 2008, everything changed in an instant. As dawn broke on August 26th, an explosive eruption jolted the neighbourhood awake, drawing sleepy residents from their beds. Flames engulfed the Foster’s lavish home, and thick smoke penetrated the morning sky. An investigation into the inferno would unearth the unsettling truth that sometimes, appearances can be deceiving….

  • 30. The Blackpool Poisoner / Sarah Ann Ricketts / Louisa Merrifield - Part 3

    45:25||Season 10, Ep. 30
    Louisa and Alfred Merrifield were jointly accused of murdering their landlady and employer, Sarah Ann Ricketts. Yet, as the trial unfolded—and Alfred took the stand after his wife—it became clear that they were not being treated equally. In this third and final instalment, we delve into the stark divide in how their stories ended: one concluded in the courtroom, while the other’s life was hanging in the balance… (Part 3 of 3).*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***   This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, and script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: The Diary by CJ0 Pursuit Of Wonder by Caleb Etheridge Apex Program by Cody Martin Asylum by Cody Martin Every Life Matters by Cody Martin Half Empty by Cody Martin Illusion by Cody Martin Loaves & Fish by Cody Martin Sabotage by Cody Martin Wolgrim by Cody Martin Rising Sun by Colossus Reclaim by Michael Briguglio Memories Of Future Events by Hill Unexpected Turn by Moments Sleep by Stephen Keech Stolen Moments by Salon Dijon Left For Dead by Wastelander No Escape by Wicked Cinema The Lantern by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUs

    Amid the strange circumstances surrounding the death of a frail elderly woman, suspicion falls on her housekeeper. As Sarah Ann Ricketts’ final days are dissected in court, questions still linger. Did she pass away naturally in her sleep, or was she callously murdered with rat poison?...

    With the peak of the summer season a few months away, boarding house manager Jessie Brewer was spending her downtime reading the morning paper when she saw an article about the death of an elderly woman who lived in the district. Her eyes widened at the part of the article where it listed April 14th, 1953, as the date of the woman’s death. Jessie was familiar with the deceased named Sarah Ann Ricketts, but she was surprised, as Jessie had been told that Sarah had passed away days before that… (Part 1 of 3).*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***   This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, and script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: The Diary by CJ0 Evidence Board by CJ0 Misery Loves Company by CJ0 The Last Straw by CJ Oliver Altered Fate by Cody Martin Gravity by Caleb Etheridge Harboring by Salon Dijon Stolen Moments by Salon Dijon Leatherface by Wicked Cinema No Escape by Wicked Cinema Shifter by Wicked Cinema The Lantern by Wicked Cinema Childlike by WildWonder SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUs

    In the darkness, he could only make out a silhouette. It was nearly impossible to see their features clearly through the shattered glass of the conservatory. Perhaps it was his son, who was on leave from the army. Only a few moments earlier, Graeme had been fast asleep, and now he was downstairs, and the floor of his home was soaking wet, reeking of petrol…*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***   This episode was researched and written by Benjamin Fitton.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing by Benjamin Fitton. To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: First To Strike by Moments Violent Delights by Cody Martin Final Moments by Cody Martin Legend Of Eleven by Cody Martin Loaves & Fish by Cody Martin Night Lock by Cody Martin Outer Rim by Cody Martin Pawnbroker by Cody Martin Playing Games by Cody Martin Realm Of Men by Cody Martin Tainted By Darkness by Cody Martin The Fall by Cody Martin Rising Sun by Colossus Fleet Street by Stephen Keech Enigma by Hill Dystopia by Ian Kelosky  Undernight by Lincoln Davis Memories Of Future Events by Hill Those Lost by Moments What You’re Here For by Moments Prowler by Hill Mystery by Third Age No Escape by Wicked Cinema Rag Doll by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUs

    The witness described a man in his 20s, just shy of six feet tall, with a gaunt face and light-coloured hair. Though uneasy, the passerby—out for a quiet walk along the River Aire—was quickly reassured. The man, standing over a pale woman crumpled in the grass, said she had simply fallen. The man offered his name and explained that he knew where the woman lived. Perhaps out of politeness and a desire not to pry, the witness continued on her journey. Unable to shake the feeling that something was not right, she raised the alarm. However, by then it was too late…*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED ***   This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, and script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Violent Delights by Cody Martin Creeper by Hill Memories Of Future Events by Hill Against The Odds by Cody Martin Artisan Craft by Cody Martin Dark Night by Cody Martin Final Moments by Cody Martin Loaves & Fish by Cody Martin Realm Of Men by Cody Martin Sabotage by Cody Martin Storms Coming by Cody Martin Tesseract by Cody Martin The Fall by Cody Martin The Arctic by Gold Coast Undernight by Lincoln Davis Endless Night by Moments Steadfast by Moments Reconciliation by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUs
