Latest Episodes:

"Angel Face" And "The Muscleman" (Part 1) Mar 25, 2021

Show notes

The first of a two part tale - there is so much to this one a single episode wouldn't do - this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, as we are off back more than 50 years, to meet two determined criminals. Not too successful at their chosen profession, due to the amount of times each was caught and imprisoned, each had a determination that prison wasn't to be for them, and resolved to never spend a day longer inside than they had to.
Without waiting for that all important release date.
And when they came together - it was to lead to the first person in Britain being declared - "Public Enemy Number One"

A Lonely Death On Gunn Hill Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

In a dip into the back catalogue of the show's Patreon episodes, this week on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast brings a horrific tale of completely pointless double murder - including one of the most callous acts you will ever hear of - as we head back to the late 1970's, and to a small but affluent Cheshire village back.

Every Parent's Nightmare Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

A truly horrendous crime is the focus of the episode this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, as we head back to 1985, to the city of Preston, in the county of Lancashire, to see how a case of a missing child became a murder enquiry, at the time, one of the biggest ever undertaken by Lancashire Police.
One that would span almost a quarter of a century in total. And one that no police officer, nor any longtime residents of Preston, would ever forget.
The episode contains details and descriptions of a crime and events of a sexual nature, involving the murder of a child, that listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Show notes

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, just imagine a person's whole life changing forever in the blink of an eye, in the most horrendous and callous of circumstances, by someone hell bent on causing unimaginable suffering?
Horrendous enough a thought, isn't it? Then imagine if it's a case of mistaken identity.

TTCE's Series 5 Review Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

As a short bonus to cap off the year, I've sat down and gone back through the tales that have made up Series 5 of the show, and like the shit DVD 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 very rough and ready totally unscripted manner.
I thank you all for your very kind support this year, and i look forward to seeing you in 2021. All the very best wishes.

Margaret, Murder - And The Missing Motive (Part 2) Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

Continuing the multi-parter we began last time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where this time around, we hear of the continuing investigation into the horrific murder of grandmother Margaret Wilson in East Yorkshire in 1995, senselessly slaughtered on a country lane near her lifelong home - for no apparent reason whatsoever.
And the identification of a suspect - but was it the killer?
