Episode 361 - Karen Read & The Death of John O’Keefe - Part 1 Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

At roughly 12:30am on 29 January 2022, Karen Read drove her boyfriend, Boston police officer, John O’Keefe to a party at a friend’s house. The next morning John would be found unresponsive on the front lawn of this house, and would later die in hospital.

Karen would say that she saw John go inside the house - so the people at the party must be the ones responsible for his death. But the 9 people in the house that night said that John never came inside.

So, what happened to John O’Keefe? And who’s lying?

FROM THE VAULT: Episode 278/9 - Scott Peterson: Sex, Lies & Fishing Boats - Part 1 & 2 Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

With Scott Peterson back in the news, having given his first interview in decades we thought it would be a good time to refresh our memories on this baffling case, and remind you all of one very important fact - He 100% did it.

When beautiful, eight-and-a-half-month-pregnant Laci Peterson vanished without a trace on Christmas Eve 2002, headlines across the US exploded.

As much as the media and the public obsessed over the case, and the seemingly odd behaviour of her husband Scott, no one was prepared for the shocking revelations that were to come…

Leaving people asking: did Scott Peterson kill his wife, or is he just the unluckiest man alive?

Episode 360 - Javed ‘Kukri’ Iqbal: “To Make a Hundred Mothers Cry” Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

A serial paedophile and murderer, Javid Iqbal dedicated his entire existence to grooming, sexually abusing, and eventually killing young boys from the streets of Lahore. Using his father’s money, Iqbal designed his entire life – from his businesses to his home – around capturing vulnerable children who were desperate for help.

By the time Iqbal had handed himself in to the police, he had sexually assaulted countless street boys and killed at least 57. But how did detectives allow it to get to that point? This is a story of police incompetence on an industrial scale.

Episode 358 - Peter Plumley-Walker: The Trial of the Teenage Dominatrix - Part 2 Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

Three trials, countless corrupt officers, and years behind bars faced Renee Chignell, after she and her boyfriend, were accused of the murder of 51-year-old British cricket umpire Peter Plumley-Walker in their ramshackle sex dungeon.

Renee was adamant Peter’s death had been a tragic accident – but it would take years of jail time, heartbreak, and her own mother going behind bars, to convince anyone she was telling the truth.

Episode 357 - Peter Plumley-Walker: Divorce, Death & Debauchery Down Under - Part 1 Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

How does a “true British gentleman”, complete with love of cricket and handlebar moustache, end up dead at the bottom of a waterfall in New Zealand with his limbs bound and lashes to his buttocks? This is the question that faced police in 1989, when a tourist boat found the body of 51-year-old cricket umpire Peter Plumley-Walker floating at the bottom of Huka Falls.

To find out the answers you need to come with us on a journey down under involving a 19-year-old sex worker, her 35-year-old boyfriend, and their budget bondage basement.

Episode 356 - Davy Tweed: Behind Closed Doors Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

As far as the people of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, knew, Davy Tweed was a sporting hero, dedicated public servant, and good Protestant family man. But his stepdaughter Amanda Brown knew what this public façade masked: a volatile, unstoppable juggernaut of physical and sexual abuse, who made her family’s life a living hell.

In a very special episode, we directly hear from Amanda herself – who tells us exactly what it’s like to walk down the street with your abuser, while people shout ‘hero’ at him.

Episode 355 - The Khamar-Daban Incident: Mystery in the Mountains Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Bleeding from the eyes, foaming at the mouth, and bashing themselves to death against the rocks. That was the fate of six skilled hikers in the Russian mountain range Khamar-Daban – at least according to the single survivor Valentina Utochenko. Yet if the Russian authorities are to be believed, it was just a simple case of hypothermia.

With speculation over what happened still rife, this mystery has been chalked up to everything from secret Novichok testing to accidentally ingested magic mushrooms. We know what we think, but you’ll have to listen to find out.
