| Episode 86 - The Panes Family | 21 Nov 2025 | 00:24:54 | |
In March 1974 39 year old Pamela Panes and her three children Graham aged 7, Angela aged 6 and Adrian aged 4 were killed by husband and father Roger Panes in Hampshire in the UK. Roger then took his own life.
The Panes family belonged to the Plymouth Brethren religion. Before the murders, Roger had been forcibly “shut up” — or shunned from the religious community he’d grown up in. His own wife and children were instructed to shun him as well. That isolation pushed Roger into a downward spiral: first an attempt on his own life, then the decision to murder his whole family.
A family were taken, and the community were left with questions about the role of religion in their murders. This is the story of the Panes family.

| Episode 75 - Renee and Andrew MacRae Part One | 05 Sep 2025 | 00:31:31 | |
On 12 November 1976, 36-year-old Renee MacRae and her 3-year-old son Andrew vanished near Inverness. That night, her BMW was found burning in a layby on the A9. Blood in the car pointed to murder — but no bodies were ever found.
For over 40 years, it was one of the UK’s most haunting cold cases. Then, in 2019, police arrested William MacDowell — Renee’s secret lover and Andrew’s biological father. In 2022, he was found guilty of murdering them both. He died five months into his sentence, taking the truth of what he did and where Renee and Andrew were - with him.
This is part one of the story of Renee and Andrew MacRae.

| Episode 74 - Allison and Marie-Josée Benitez | 11 Jul 2025 | 00:28:36 | |
In July 2013, 53-year-old Marie-Josée Benitez and her 19-year-old daughter Allison vanished without a trace from their home in Southern France. The last person to see them alive was Francisco Benitez — Marie-Josée’s estranged husband and Allison’s father. He claimed they’d left for a trip to Toulouse. They never came back.
What followed was a chilling chain of revelations. Francisco was already linked to the disappearance of another woman in 2004. Just weeks after his wife and daughter vanished, he took his own life. Then, investigators discovered traces of Allison’s blood in a freezer at the military barracks where Francisco worked.
Marie-Josée and Allison were never found. But the evidence pointed to one clear theory – that they had been killed by father and estranged husband Francisco.
This is the story of Allison and Marie-Josee Benitez.

| Episode 73 - The Case Family | 27 Jun 2025 | 00:21:02 | |
In July 2010, just days after returning from a family holiday, 31-year-old Vicki Case and her two baby daughters — 2-year-old Phoebe and 1-year-old Nereya — were brutally murdered in their own home. The man who killed them was the person who should have loved and protected them the most: husband and father, Andrew Case.
After taking their lives, Case then took his own life. He left behind devastation and unanswered questions. While reports suggested he was under financial pressure, the police struggled to comprehend what could drive a man to kill his entire family. In a never heard before twist, some sections of the media sought to excuse his actions — attributing the murders to an anti-smoking medication Case was taking, as though anything could justify the deliberate, calculated killing of his wife and children.
This is the story of the Case Family.

| Episode 72 - The Kemp Family | 20 Jun 2025 | 00:25:35 | |
In March 2004, in a quiet suburb of Melbourne, Australia, Anna Kemp and her 20-month-old daughter Gracie were brutally murdered by the very person who should have loved and protected them the most — husband and father, John Sharpe. Armed with a speargun, he shot Anna and Gracie multiple times, killing them in cold blood. Anna was also pregnant with their second child who she had named Francis.
After killing his whole family, Sharpe appeared in the media, tearfully pleading for their return and spinning the lie that Anna had left him, taking Gracie with her. But behind the cameras was a killer, hiding in plain sight. His deception didn’t last and Sharpe was sentenced to 33 years in prison for the calculated, monstrous slaughter of his own family.
This is the story of the Kemp Family.

| Episode 71 - The Feeney Family | 13 Jun 2025 | 00:32:31 | |
In February 1995, the quiet town of Springfield, Missouri was devastated by a brutal familicide. Cheryl Feeney and her two young children — 6-year-old Tyler and 18-month-old Jennifer — were found savagely murdered in their own home. The crime scene was bizarre, chilling, and left more questions than answers.
Husband and father Jon Feeney was away at a teacher’s conference when the murders took place. But it wasn’t long before suspicion fell squarely on him. Despite a trial that captivated the nation and a verdict of not guilty, many remain convinced that Feeney got away with murdering his family.
This is the story of the Feeney Family.

| Episode 70 - The Simmons Family | 06 Jun 2025 | 00:32:00 | |
In December 1987, over the course of a single week, Ronald Gene Simmons brutally killed 14 members of his own family. They included wife Becky, his children Gene Jr, Loretta, Eddy, Marianne, Becky, Billy, and Sheila, his grandchildren Barbara, Trae, Sylvia, and Michael, his daughter-in-law Renate, and his son-in-law Dennis.
Not content with slaughtering his family, Simmons then murdered a former co-worker, Kathy Kendrick, and an innocent bystander, Jim Chaffin and wounded many other people in the process.
It remains one of the deadliest familicides in American history. Simmons was executed by lethal injection in 1990.
This is the story of the Simmons Family.

| Episode 69 - The Gossett Family | 30 May 2025 | 00:24:59 | |
In February 2018, in the quiet town of Derrylin, Northern Ireland, a fire tore through a remote bungalow. Inside were the bodies of four family members — Denise Gossett, 45, her children Sabrina, 19, and Roman, 16, and Sabrina’s baby daughter, 15-month-old Morgana. The only survivor was Denise’s partner, 33-year-old Daniel Allen — the man responsible for their murders.
Allen was a violent, coercive, and controlling man who forced the family to live under different names, isolated them from the outside world, and moved them from place to place to maintain his grip on them. His campaign of terror ended in a deliberate act of unspeakable violence. Today, Allen is serving a 29-year life sentence — one of the longest ever handed down in Northern Ireland — for the brutal, calculated murder of an entire family.
This is the story of the Gossett Family.

| Episode 67 - Laura Wallen and Reid | 16 May 2025 | 00:25:13 | |
On the first day of school at Wild Lake High School in Columbia, Maryland in September 2017, beloved social studies teacher Laura Wallen didn’t turn up and had vanished without a trace. Just days later, her body was discovered in a shallow grave — shot dead. Laura was four months pregnant which a wanted child called Reid. The man accused of killing her was her boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, Tyler Tessier. He was arrested for her murder but would never face justice, taking his own life in prison a year later. This is the story of Laura Wallen and Reid.

| Episode 66 - The Romand Family | 09 May 2025 | 00:32:04 | |
In January 1993, a house fire tore through the Romand family home in Prévessin-Moëns, near the French-Swiss border. Inside, Florence Romand and her two young children, Antoine and Caroline, were dead. Jean-Claude Romand — husband, father, and apparent survivor — was clinging to life. But what first looked like a devastating accident quickly unravelled into something far darker: the calculated murder of an entire family and the exposure of a man who had spent his life living a lie. Jean-Claude Romand wasn’t just a killer — he was a master deceiver who had faked his career, manipulated those closest to him, and, in a final act of horror, murdered his wife, children, and parents to stop the truth from coming out. He survived, was convicted, and in 2019, after 26 years behind bars, walked free.
This is the story of the Romand Family.

In June 1994 Im Pun (Sylvia) Zakrzewski and her two children Edward and Anna were brutally killed by husband and father Edward Zakrzewski. Sylvia was planning on leaving Zakrzewski. As soon as he found that out – he planned the murders.
Nearly 30 years after he killed his whole family, on 31 July this year, Zakrzewski was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection. His execution set the state’s record for the highest number of annual executions that year so far – totalling nine at that point.
A brutal man, who killed his family brutally, died brutally this year.

In 2005 25 year old Janet Abaroa was found dead by her husband Raven – she was pregnant at the time and also had a six month old son who was unharmed. Although Janet’s murder is still technically unsolved her family always suspected that it was Raven who killed her and his unborn child. In 2014 he entered an Alford Plea acknowledging that there was enough evidence to convict him but didn’t technically admit guilt for the murders.
This is the story of Janet Abaroa and her unborn child.

In November 2007 29 year old Lorraine McGovern and her five children – Caroline, Sean, Bellina, Clodagh and James - were killed in a fire in their home in Omagh, Northern Ireland. The fire was set deliberately by Lorraine’s partner Arthur McElhill who also died in the fire. McElhill was a convicted sex offender who groomed and abused many teenage girls including his partner Lorraine. A review into the murders found that authorities could not have stopped their deaths – I am not so sure.
This is the story of the McElhill Family.

| BONUS - Analysis of Netflix's Adolescence | 21 Apr 2025 | 00:31:52 | |
This bonus episode is my analysis of the Netflix show Adolescence. A drama by Stephen Graham which follows the story of Jamie – a 13 year old boy – who is arrested for the murder of a classmate – Katie. It explores incel culture and misogyny amongst young people and apparently the Prime Minister has committed to showing it in all schools as part of relationships and sex education.
This is my analysis of Netflix’s Adolescence.

| Episode 82 - The Lawson Family | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:18:24 | |
On Christmas Day in 1929 37 year old Fannie Manring and six of her seven children – Marie, Carrie, Maybell, James, Raymond and Mary-Lou were killed by husband and father Charles Lawson in North Carolina. Her eldest child Arthur was spared.
In a seemingly premeditated familicide Charles took his family to have a family portrait taken the day before he killed them all – apart from his son Arthur. He then took his own life.
With speculation about motives ranging from a head injury to incest and child abuse, this familicide remains one of the most infamous murders in American history.

| Episode 81 - The Hendricks Family | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:28:53 | |
In November 1983, in the town of Bloomington, Illinois, 30-year-old Susan Hendricks and her three children — 9-year-old Rebekah, 7-year-old Grace, and 5-year-old Benjamin — were found brutally murdered in their family home.
Their husband and father, David Hendricks, was away on a business trip at the time. But when calls home went unanswered, he rushed back — only to find his entire family gone.
Very quickly, suspicion turned toward him. The successful businessman, the devout family man — now the prime suspect. In 1984, David Hendricks was convicted of killing his wife and children.
But seven years later his conviction was overturned. He walked free in 1991 — and has never been charged again.
The murder of The Hendricks Family remains officially unsolved but was it – after all – their husband and father who killed his whole family and who got away with murder?
This is the story of the Hendricks Family.

| Episode 41 - Bethany Vincent and Darren Henson | 06 Sep 2024 | 00:31:21 | |
In May 2021 Bethany Vincent and her 9-year-old son Darren Henson were stabbed and killed by her ex-partner Daniel Boulton. A serial perpetrator of domestic abuse and coercive control Boulton had two restraining orders against him when he walked 28 miles to kill Bethany and her son. A review into the murders concluded that the risk he posed was underestimated by professionals and I believe that better understanding of coercive control could have prevented the murders.

What happens when systemic failures allow a predator to unleash unimaginable horror on an innocent family? Join us as we confront the chilling case of Lesley Ford and her children, who were brutally murdered by Lee Ford in August 2000. This episode navigates through Leslie's life in Telford, her marriage to Michael Tranter, and the birth of their children: Sarah Jane, Ann-Marie, Craig, and Steven. We examine Ford's need for power and control, which shattered this family's existence, and highlight the emotional toll on those left behind. As we recount this harrowing tale, we also shed light on Ford's potential parole in 2027 and reflect on the emotional scars carried by the victims' loved ones.

| Episode 80 - The Bain Family | 17 Oct 2025 | 00:31:53 | |
In the early hours of June 20, 1994, police in Dunedin, on New Zealand’s South Island, responded to a horrifying call - a family had been murdered. Inside the Bain home, officers discovered a scene of devastation: 58-year-old Robin Bain, his wife Margaret, 50, and their children Arawa, 19, Laniet, 18, and Stephen, 14 had all been shot dead.
Only one member of the family was still alive. Their eldest son, 22-year-old David Bain, was found inside the house after calling police himself. At first glance, it looked like his father Robin had murdered the family before taking his own life. On a computer nearby, a chilling message was left behind: “Sorry, you are the only one who deserved to stay.”
But just days later, the story twisted. David was arrested and charged with the murders of his own family. He would spend 13 years in prison before being acquitted in 2009.
With no one currently serving time for the murders of a whole family – was it David who killed his parents and siblings or his father Robin who killed his family and spared David?
This is the story of the Bain Family.
