    The Crash: Double murderer Mackenzie Shirilla May 18, 2026
    Show notes

    On July 31st 2022, a devastating 100mph car crash in Strongsville, Ohio left 2 teenage boys dead. At first, it looked like a tragic accident. But investigators would soon uncover evidence that suggested something far darker…Dominic Russo and his best friend, Davion Flanagan, had accepted a lift home after a summer party with Dominic’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Mackenzie Shirilla. Minutes later, the car slammed into a brick building at catastrophic speed. Dominic and Davion were killed instantly. Mackenzie survived.What followed shocked even seasoned investigators.Data pulled from the vehicle revealed no attempt to brake.

    Witnesses came forward describing an allegedly toxic relationship marked by threats, manipulation, and one chilling warning: “I will crash this car right now.”

    Then came the GPS evidence, toxicology results, social media posts, and allegations that raised one haunting question... was this really an accident at all?

    This is the story of love turned volatile, control, obsession, and the split-second decision that destroyed multiple families forever… but as detectives began piecing together the final hours before impact, they uncovered something that would change the entire case... and make people question whether this crash had been planned long before anyone got into that car.

    Deep dive: The life of double murderer Wade Wilson. Could it have been prevented? May 14, 2026
    Show notes

    On the 7th of October, 2019, police in Cape Coral came face to face with a man named Wade Wilson during a domestic violence investigation involving his ex-girlfriend. Bodycam footage captured the tense interaction as officers tried to stop him from leaving… but Wade drove away. At that moment, police had no idea they were speaking to a man who had already murdered one woman ...and who, just hours later, would abduct and kill another.


    In this episode of REDRUM, we unravel the terrifying timeline behind the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, the warning signs leading up to the killings, the disturbing history of violence and abuse that came before, and the investigation that followed as detectives raced to piece together a rapidly escalating nightmare. From the brutal assault outside Mila spa, to Wade’s chilling confessions, his attempted escape, controversial police handling of earlier allegations, and the media frenzy that later surrounded the case, this is one of the most shocking true crime stories in recent years.


    But beneath the headlines, viral clips, and the “Deadpool Killer” nickname, are 2 women whose lives were stolen in acts of horrific violence… and a timeline that raises haunting questions about whether this tragedy could ever have been prevented.


    And by the time investigators realised what Wade Wilson had actually done that day… it was already far too late.

    Full timeline and case breakdown: The murder of Deanna Cook May 11, 2026
    Show notes

    Some 911 calls are disturbing.

    Some are heartbreaking.

    But very few capture the exact moment a murder is taking place.


    When Deanna Cook called emergency services in the early hours of August 17th 2012, she was terrified. In the background, dispatchers could hear chaos unfolding inside her home… confusion… panic… and then, something far more sinister.


    Deanna was begging for help, and a male voice in the background said "I'll kill you".


    But despite the call.

    Despite the audio.

    Despite the warning signs…


    Nobody came in time.


    And even more horrifying? After the line went dead, Deanna wouldn’t be found for nearly TWO DAYS.


    As friends and family desperately searched for answers, the truth inside that house remained hidden... while the person responsible walked free.


    In this episode of REDRUM, I dig into the chilling timeline of Deanna's final hours, the haunting 911 recording that left investigators stunned, and the devastating moment her loved ones made the discovery no family should ever have to make.


    What really happened inside Deanna’s home that night?

    Why did it take so long for anyone to realise she was dead?

    And could this murder have been prevented?


    Because when detectives finally pieced together the truth… they uncovered a case far darker than anyone first imagined.

    True Crime: The Diana Lovejoy investigation May 07, 2026
    Show notes

    The true crime case behind one of the most viewed 6 seconds of court footage online.On an seemingly ordinary evening in Carlsbad, California, a father followed a set of instructions he believed would clear his name… but instead, he walked straight into an ambush.

    This is the chilling case of Diana Lovejoy and Greg Mulvihill.

    A bitter divorce that spiralled into allegations, paranoia, and a plot that was unbelievably calculated. As custody battles intensified and accusations of abuse surfaced, Greg found himself fighting not just for access to his young son, but for his reputation, his freedom… and ultimately, his life.

    Then came the message that changed everything: potentially, a chance to prove his innocence. But hidden in the darkness of a remote hiking trail, someone was waiting.What followed was a series of gunshots, a desperate fight to survive, and an investigation that would unravel a web of manipulation, deception, and a relationship far more dangerous than anyone realised.But the biggest question wasn’t just who pulled the trigger……it was who had been planning it all along.

    TRUE CRIME The unbelievable case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai May 04, 2026
    Show notes

    In January 2004, what should have been a routine child handover turned into a calculated, near-fatal act of violence that would shock the United States and expose the terrifying realities of domestic abuse...


    Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, a mother of 2 from Wisconsin, had already endured years of control and violence at the hands of her ex-husband, David Larsen. But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting that day. As she stepped inside his home to collect their children, she was ambushed... beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat in a sustained, brutal attack that left her barely conscious.


    What followed was not just violence, but methodical cruelty.


    David bound Teri with duct tape, forced her into a plastic bin, packed it with snow, and sealed her inside. Then, as temperatures plummeted well below freezing, he loaded the container into his truck and began driving across state lines. Trapped in darkness, gravely injured, and slowly freezing, Teri somehow managed to access her phone and make a desperate 911 call... but when the 911 operator didn't take the call seriously, it was only a matter of time, before things got even worse.

    The tragic deaths of Kadie, River and Aadon Major Apr 30, 2026
    Show notes

    In January 2008, 26 year old Kadie Major and her 10 month old daughter, River Lynn, were found dead near train tracks off Oakley Road in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Authorities quickly ruled it a murder-suicide.

    Investigators claimed Kadie had been struggling with postpartum depression, that she had killed her daughter before stepping in front of a train, and within days, that explanation became official... before toxicology results were returned, before the autopsy report was finalised, and before key questions had been fully explored.

    But from the very beginning, Kadie’s family didn’t believe it. In the hours before she disappeared, Kadie had been making plans, sharing the news she was expecting a baby boy, and speaking with loved ones. That same night, her husband reported that she had run from the house in fear, convinced someone was coming to kill her... but discouraged the family from calling police.

    By the next morning, the search ended in tragedy.

    As the investigation unfolded, details began to surface that didn’t sit right. Her truck was found abandoned but completely undamaged, her wedding rings had been removed and placed in her pocket, there was a handwritten note filled with fragmented religious and apocalyptic phrases, and a timeline that raised more questions than answers.

    Years later, with a PI on the case and following national attention from CBS’s 48 Hours, the case was reopened.

    Investigators publicly stated they no longer believed Kadie’s death was a suicide... and named her husband as the sole suspect.

    So what really happened to Kadie Major and River that night? And how did a case closed in just days… unravel into something far more complicated?

    The tragic murders of Wendie Prescott and Christine Vu Apr 27, 2026
    Show notes

    No signs of forced entry. No clear suspect. No obvious motive. Just one terrifying question: how had someone gotten in... and out... without being seen? Then, just 3 months later, it happened again. Another young woman. Another apartment in the same complex. Another body left in a bathtub. As fear spread across Arlington, investigators realised they weren’t dealing with isolated incidents… but something far more dangerous. A predator was moving between homes.

    Watching.

    Waiting.

    And escalating.

    R&R. The Murder of Sasha Marsden Apr 23, 2026
    Show notes

    I’m taking a week off for holiday so wanted to share a Rewind & Repeat episode of one of the most shared episodes from the back catalogue. I’ll be back next week with 2 brand new episodes x


    At 16 years old, Sasha decided she wanted to try and make a bit of extra money in her spare time. She thought she’d lucked out when she got a message on Facebook offering her a job working at a nearby hotel in Blackpool as a cleaner.

    Initially, Sasha’s mum and dad were a bit hesitant to let her go. She’d been through a pretty turbulent time through her teenage years but she was finally starting to settle down and started focusing on her future.

    And so, both her mum and dad said she could go- but on one condition; her dad would take her there and pick her up after her first shift to ensure she was safe.

    But it wasn’t that first shift they needed to be concerned about.

    It was the second shift, after they assumed Sasha would be safe, that she would suffer a brutal fate -and the perpetrator had practiced just 3 weeks before. So he knew exactly what he needed, to make sure Sasha would never escape.

    The Murders of Heather Wilkinson, Don and Gail Patterson and the Attempted Murder of Ian Wilkinson: Erin Patterson (Part 2) Apr 16, 2026
    Show notes

    Part 2/2


    In July 2023, a quiet lunch in rural Leongatha would become the centre of one of the most shocking and disturbing criminal cases in recent Australian history, when 4 guests sat down at the home of Erin Patterson, unaware that the meal placed in front of them would soon leave 3 of them dead and another fighting for their life.

    What began as a supposed ordinary family gathering, quickly spiralled into a medical emergency that baffled doctors and horrified investigators. Symptoms consistent with deadly mushroom poisoning began to emerge, leading authorities to suspect the involvement of the highly toxic death cap mushroom... one of the most lethal fungi in the world, responsible for the majority of mushroom-related deaths globally.

    As the case unfolded, attention turned to Erin herself, the host of the lunch, whose relationship with the victims, including her former in-laws, added a deeply personal and complex layer to the investigation, raising unsettling questions about motive, intent, and what may have really happened inside that home on that winter afternoon.

    With conflicting accounts, alleged inconsistencies, and growing public fascination, the case has sparked intense debate across Australia and beyond, with many asking the same chilling question: was this a tragic accident… or something far more deliberate?

    Because behind the headlines, the courtroom arguments, and the forensic evidence, lies a story that is still unfolding... and one that may ultimately reveal that the truth of what happened that day is far darker than anyone first imagined.
