The Sicilian Inheritance Sep 22, 2024

Show notes

Hi friends,

Something a little different to eliminate the Sunday scaries...

When Jo Piazza wrote her bestselling novel The Sicilian Inheritance she loosely based it on the century old murder of her great great grandmother Lorenza Marsala in Sicily. Once the book was finished she took her entire family of five to Sicily to solve the murder in real life and the truth is even stranger than the fiction.

Listen here: The Sicilian Inheritance

Lies, Blackmail and Murder - The Tragic Death of Alex Rodda Sep 16, 2024

Show notes

15 year old Alex Rodda headed out after school one day to go meet his friend. But when he never returned later that evening, his mum Lisa just knew something was wrong. She called all of his friends to ask if they’d seen him, and they told her he was out tonight with a boy called Matthew. But Matthew wasn’t a boy, he was an 18 year old adult. And the nature of their relationship was not friendship- instead, it was full of lies, blackmail, and ultimately murder.

A Murder in Scotland - Annalise Johnstone Sep 09, 2024

Show notes

This one is called a murder in Scotland, because of the Scottish laws around trial that heavily impacted the outcome of this case.

Jordan told police he dropped his sister Annalise at her uncles house. He watched her go inside before driving off. Now she'd been missing for 12 hours. But when police questioned the uncle, he told them Annalise never showed up at his house.

Somebody was lying.

The Murder of Emma Caldwell Sep 02, 2024

Show notes

In 2018 accused murderer Iain Packer approached an investigative reporter called Sam Poling. He’d seen her documentary about Police Scotland and decided he wanted to get her to help him clear his name.

What the on-screen interview did however, was expose his lies right there on camera for the world to see.

The Triple Murder of Anju, Jeeva and Janvi Aug 26, 2024

Show notes

This is quite a short case because there’s just not a lot of information out there but it’s a case I’d not even heard of- it happened at the end of 2022, and I had no idea about any of it until it popped up on my research list. It’s an important story, and although it’s short, the information is pretty horrific, so buckle up and let’s get into it.

The Brutal Murder of Julia Rawson Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

Growing up, I always looked at people who worked as making art for a living, as the absolute pinnacle of ‘living the dream’. Julia Rawson was one of those people who lived her dream. She was not only an artist, but she also had this amazing ability to connect with people. Her friends said that she could literally walk up to anyone in any bar, and start a conversation with them. Usually this meant that she would have a great night, and wake up with about 10 new friends. But on the fateful evening of the 11th of May 2019, she made friends with the most devious and dangerous person. And he would end her life, in the most brutal way.
