Episode 289 - David vs Robin: The Bain Family Killings - Part 2 Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Last week we left off with the absolutely batshit-craziness of Margaret’s “Bel”-filled diaries and the rumoured accusations of incest made by Laniet Bain against her father Robin.
And we’ll come back to all of that later in this episode, part 2 of our series on the Bain family murders, but not before we re-join David, as he’s being interviewed for the first time by the police, just hours after the killings…

Episode 288 - Black Magic, Incest & Murder: The Bain Family Killings - Part 1 Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

On 29 June 1994 the entire Bain family, except for eldest son David, were found murdered in their house in Dunedin.
The investigation that followed would go on to become New Zealand’s most controversial, as allegations of black magic, incest and police corruption exploded…

Episode 287 – The Murdaugh Family Murders Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

The Murdaugh murders are not one story; they are a seemingly endless web of lies, entitlement, and confusion.
At the centre of the web are the bodies of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, found at their hunting lodge. But tangled in it are the tragic deaths of three other completely innocent people, dragged in by the most powerful family in South Carolina.
This week Hannah and Suruthi make sense of one of the most sprawling true crime cases out there…

Episode 286 - Emanuela Orlandi: The Vatican’s Only Missing Citizen Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

Organised crime, sex scandals, terror plots, hundreds of millions of missing dollars, a gangster known as ‘God’s Banker’ found hanging from a bridge in London, a 100-year-old apocalyptic prophecy, an anonymous tip-off that sounds like it comes from Dan Brown’s never-released Godfather sequel, and messages hidden in crypts…this is the story of Emanuela Orlandi, the only missing citizen of the smallest country in the world.
And though she disappeared more than 40 years ago, Emanuela’s story remains, to this day, one of the biggest mysteries in Italian criminal history.

Episode 285 - The Murder of Rachel Nickell Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

Rachel Nickell’s brutalised body was found on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex wiping her bloodied face and begging her to 'wake up'. The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast. However, none of that justifies the shoddy police work, cut corners, and tunnel vision that allowed a serial rapist to go unchecked for years.

Episode 284 - Dorothea Puente: The Boarding House of Death Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Dorothea Puente may have looked every bit the placid old lady she played. In reality, she was in her early fifties, and was using her self-made status as a ‘pillar of the community’ to divert attention away from what was buried and rotting in her garden.
Whether her victims had a few hundred thousand dollars, a nice pick-up truck, or even just a meagre social security cheque – they all risked the wrath of the ‘Death House Landlady’.

Episode 283 - Rasputin: Russia’s Greatest Love Machine Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

The much-told legend of Rasputin – the giant, wild-eyed, well-hung, wandering Siberian monk who seduced the Tsarina herself – is mostly a bunch of absolute borscht. But the real story is just as wild.
H&S look at the life of a peasant who infiltrated Russian nobility, embodying the tensions of a nation – a charismatic zealot who mysteriously healed the Romanovs’ sickly heir.
So join us to find out how Russia went from Romanovs to Revolution; the possible MI6 ties to Rasputin’s death; and a classic, quick-fire RedHanded rundown of…the entire First World War.

Episode 282 - Jeffrey Epstein: Foul Play - Part 2 Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

In 2009, having served just 13 months of the cushiest jail sentence this side of Scandinavia, Jeffrey Epstein was free – and legally protected from any future punishment. But there were hundreds of people that knew what he really was: a dangerous, influential and insatiable child rapist with a sophisticated network of fixers. They knew he had to be stopped.
In this second episode of our two-parter, H&S look at the tireless legal and journalistic efforts to bring him down; go deeper into the involvement of Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew; and find out what kind of justice – if any – was served. Plus: what happened in that jail cell in 2019?

Episode 281 - Jeffrey Epstein: Along Came a Spider - Part 1 Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

The story of Jeffrey Epstein – the billionaire financier with an industrial-scale web of child abuse implicating some of the most powerful people in the world – sounds like some half-baked conspiracy theory. But it’s all true. And to answer the question of how he went from humble origins to sex-trafficking minors over to his private island, we have to start at the very beginning.
So, who exactly was Jeffrey Epstein? How did socialite and media heiress Ghislaine Maxwell accelerate his ambitions? And how the hell did they keep getting away with it?

The Idaho Student Murders | #280 Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

On 13 November 2022, four University of Idaho students were found stabbed to death in their beds. Six weeks later, the police (under the glare of immense public scrutiny) arrested a PhD student, Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 2,500 miles away in Pennsylvania.
Last week, the probable cause affidavit was released, revealing jaw-dropping evidence against the 28 year old.
In this episode Suruthi and Hannah work their way through the timeline of events, how the investigation unfolded and what we know so far about Kohberger…
