S13 Ep20: The Shankill Butchers Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

In the heart of Belfast during the height of the Troubles, a brutal gang prowled the night, abducting, torturing, and killing innocent Catholics in a reign of terror that would shock even hardened police officers. Known as The Shankill Butchers, this group of loyalist paramilitaries turned the streets into hunting grounds, leaving a city already divided by politics and religion gripped by fear. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell uncover how one man, Lenny Murphy, led a gang whose sadistic killings blurred the line between political violence and pure psychopathy.

S13 Ep18: The Teacup Poisoner Oct 29, 2025

Show notes

He was just fourteen when he started killing — a schoolboy with a chemistry set and a deadly obsession. Graham Young, known to history as The Teacup Poisoner, was the embodiment of evil hiding behind a polite English smile. In this episode of Blood Ties, Molly and Geoffrey uncover the chilling story of how a quiet teenager turned into one of Britain’s most sadistic murderers — poisoning friends, family, and colleagues with clinical precision.

This is the twisted tale of intellect, arrogance, and pure malevolence — a crime that shocked a nation.

S13 Ep17: The Greatest Criminal Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

In this gripping episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell delve into the chilling case of Catherine Wilson — the so-called “Victorian Poisoner.” A trusted nurse who turned her patients’ trust into a death sentence, Wilson used poison to line her pockets, leaving a trail of mysterious deaths behind. The Wansells unravel how a woman meant to heal became Britain’s last woman publicly hanged, executed outside Newgate in 1862. With their trademark mix of intrigue and insight, they expose the hypocrisy, greed, and horror lurking beneath Victorian respectability. It’s a story of betrayal, cold calculation — and the darkest side of human nature.

S13 Ep16: The Golden State Killer Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

He was the bogeyman of suburban America — a ghost who crept into homes, shattered lives, and vanished into the night. For decades, the Golden State Killer taunted police, leaving behind terrified families and a trail of violence that stretched across California. Rape, murder, stalking — his crimes were monstrous, his arrogance chilling. And yet, he lived quietly among us, a husband, a neighbour, a man who waved on his morning walk.

In this gripping episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell uncover how one of America’s most sadistic predators was finally unmasked — not by luck, but by science. It’s a story of obsession, fear, and justice, decades in the making. The Golden State Killer — humanity at its most horrifying.

S13 Ep15: The Selfish Predator Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

He called himself a “psychopath with a conscience.” But behind the bravado, Mark Brown was a cold, calculating killer. In the quiet seaside town of St Leonards, Brown led a double life — father, partner, builder by day, and murderer by night. When two women vanished months apart, detectives uncovered a web of lies, manipulation, and chilling arrogance that shocked even the most seasoned investigators.

Geoffrey and Molly expose the dark psychology of a man who believed he could outsmart everyone — this is not fiction. It’s a real-life horror story hiding in plain sight.

S13 Ep14: The Real Peaky Blinders Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

Long before the hit TV series turned them into legends, the real Peaky Blinders ruled the backstreets of Birmingham. With swagger in their step, and blood on their hands — they were the original urban gangsters of Britain’s industrial age.

In Blood Ties: The Real Peaky Blinders, we uncover the brutal truth behind the myth — the poverty, the power, and the violence that shaped a generation of men who became symbols of rebellion. We separate fact from fiction to reveal how a local street gang became an enduring piece of British folklore.

S13 Ep13: The Jilted Boyfriend Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

Kyle Clifford turned up at their quiet Hertfordshire home like any other ex returning a few belongings — calm, deliberate, utterly convincing. Kyle Clifford wasn’t some impulsive man in a rage; he was calculated, chillingly controlled. He moved with purpose, carrying out his grim mission with military precision, showing no flicker of hesitation. This wasn’t chaos — it was cold, rehearsed determination. The sort of darkness that makes you question how well we ever really know the people closest to us.
