Who hacked B.E.? Part one Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

Marriage is sacred! However, no one ever REALLY knows what happens behind closed doors even though a couple on the outside might seem like the perfect couple.

That's what people thought about church going couple Betty and Allen Gore and for the most part, people were correct. However, introduce a third person into the mix and the dynamic would change...

To Have and To Kill: Nurse Melanie McGuire, an Illicit Affair, and the Gruesome Murder of Her Husband by John Glatt

The kidnap and murder of Sarah Payne Dec 18, 2019

Show notes

On 1st July 2000, 8-year-old Sarah Payne disappeared. 17 days later, her significantly decomposed body was found in a field near the sleepy village of Pulborough, West Sussex.

The investigation in its entirety cost around £3 million and eventually, an already convicted paedophile was captured and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Sarah Payne’s murder rattled the nation, especially in the South East of England and immediate vicinity of the crime.. It was something almost unheard of. Much like the horrific child murder case of James Bulger, it affected the way society viewed the safety of their children and as such, gone were the days of the relaxed attitude of letting your young children out to play past the front gate. Gone were those days of freedom during childhood that our parents and grandparents speak about so fondly.

The Dissapearance of Helle Crafts part 2 Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

After a decade of marital problems, 39-year-old flight attendant Helle Crafts finally decided to get a divorce from her domineering husband Richard. On November 18, 1986, after a long flight from Frankfurt, Helle was dropped off by coworkers at her Newtown, Connecticut, home. She was exhausted from the flight but excited to be getting home to her three children before a severe snowstorm was to hit later in the evening. As her friends saw her off, it didn’t cross their minds that it would be the last time they’d ever see Helle again.
