The Creature That Stalked The Cobbles - Part 1 Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

A warm welcome back to the new series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where we open up Series 7 with the first part of a look back at an unfamiliar, long forgotten case from the 1980's.
Which is a surprising description, because the events concerned within the tale are truly horrific ones - and were to lead to the individual bestowed with the title of "Britain's Most Wanted"
It's good to be back.

TTCE's Series 6 - In Review Jan 03, 2022

Show notes

Once again, I've sat down with a spare half an hour, and have gone back through the tales that have made up Series 6 of the show, and once again like the shit DVD Extras and commentary that no one ever really listens to, have given my own thoughts and feelings, perhaps a bit of an aside here and there also, to each case we have covered this year on the regular show in a rough as a badgers arse, totally unscripted manner - even Peaks features in it.
I thank you all for your very kind support this year, my favourite series to have done to date, and i look forward to seeing you very soon in 2022. All the very best wishes, stay safe out there.

The Good Samaritan - Part 2 Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

The concluding part of the Series 6 finale tale from The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here, continuing from the events we heard in the first part - where we met a young woman named India Eve Chipchase - who sadly, back in 2016, never made it home from a Friday night out in Northampton.
So let's meet the man - India's Good Samaritan - who stood accused of her rape and murder, for his trial - and I'm sure you won't believe the account he was to give.

The Good Samaritan - Part 1 Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

On a night out, we can all enjoy ourselves - and we can all sometimes have that bit too much to drink. Usually, we have our mates there to help us out, to stick by us. But occasionally we get separated - I'm sure it has happened to most of us in our lives.
So occasionally then, we may need to rely on the kindness of others - a Good Samaritan if you like. And most of the time, this is what they are.
For the first part of the Series 6 finale episode of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we hear just how much this is, most of the time.

Mistakes Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

No crime should ever happen, but for the penultimate episode of Series 6 of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head back to 2016 and to the West Midlands market town of Bilston, to hear of a horrendous - a truly horrific crime, that really shouldn't have.
Because it could have been prevented.

All Shop, And No Sex - Part 2 Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

We began a two part tale last time here on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which looked at an armed robbery in a small post office in a rural North Yorkshire village. The second such robbery in almost a year, in what could have been a carbon copy of the first.
Except this one ended in the brutal murder of the postmistress, Diana Garbutt.
Or did it?
The tale is courtesy of Jess Carter, host of the Outlines Podcast, and takes us back to 2011, for this part covering the trial of the person police arrested some three weeks after the robbery, a person they firmly suspected of not quite giving a truthful account of that day.
Her husband, Robin Garbutt.

All Shop, And No Sex - Part 1 Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

I have the pleasure of bringing you a tale that has had the Outlines treatment, courtesy of Jess Carter, as we head back to March of 2010 this time - and next time around - on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a strange tale that for a great deal of it, so many things about it don't add up. It's a controversial case, one that still today divides a community, one that I would imagine will make you stop and think, and perhaps even one that will cause debate.
And it all begins in a rural Post Office, in a North Yorkshire village.

Carbon Copy Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

We head to the UK county of Derbyshire, and back to the early 1960's, for our tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast. It's a tale that surely should be more familiar than it is, and spans a number of years, even jumps to a different country - and all begins with a crashed "Bubble" car......

The Madness At Mother Mac's Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

A reach into the show's Patreon back catalogue comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast - a tale that takes us back the mid 1970's, for a tragic, horrific yet unfamiliar case that's a real prime example of when pressure, when it keeps building and building, sometimes leads people to snap - sometimes resulting in the most extreme, horrific circumstances you can imagine.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving children, that some listeners may find disturbing or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
