Man With A Past

Season 9 · Episode 15

lundi 23 septembre 2024Duration 01:00:15



Evil, once it is inside a person, never really goes away - it may remain dormant for many years, but it is always there. To the horror of a Peterborough family back in 2018, the evil that was dormant in one such individual stirred with the most horrific of consequences - at the same time, reactivating the nightmare that a Derbyshire family had spent almost four decades trying to deal with.

Text "M" For Murder

Season 9 · Episode 14

mardi 20 août 2024Duration 01:25:48

Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic Dial M For Murder is a celebrated work that has been remade for both the big and small screen, and the stage, and which concerns the tale of a cheating wife, a scheming husband, and an elaborate murder plot.

In 2007, a court in South Wales was to hear it's very own version, and just how life imitated art...

Thriller - Part 6: The Man With The Laser Eyes

Season 6 · Episode 23

jeudi 12 août 2021Duration 01:03:26

When we left the Thriller arc last time, in their hunt for the multiple rapists and suspected single triple killer, police had just utilised the services of Professor David Canter, who helped Operation Trinity with the then groundbreaking investigative tool of the psychological profile.

Sure enough, it was near enough right on the money, and when applied to the suspect pool, made one name jump right out at police: 

John Francis Duffy. 

It led to charges being brought for multiple rapes - and the murders of Alison Day, Maartje Tamboezer, and Anne Lock, with Duffy scheduled to face trial for these in January 1988.

So let's see how that went.

Thriller - Part 5: Profile

Season 6 · Episode 22

samedi 7 août 2021Duration 01:08:47

As we pass the midway point of the Thriller arc, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, with countless rapes and two, but a suspected three murders linked to Operation Trinity, by this stage, police turned to an as yet untested, ground-breaking new investigative tool in the hunt for the two individuals we have come to know as Taller and Shorter.

The results of it were to prove astonishing.

Thriller - Part 4: The Lost Bride

Season 6 · Episode 21

jeudi 29 juillet 2021Duration 01:23:35

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in a continuation of this series' Thriller arc, the horrendous campaign of rape and then murder carried out by the two individuals we have come to know for now as Taller and Shorter took another turn - for with the case of a missing Hertfordshire woman, police who were hunting them soon had the very real fear that they had struck again.

She was a newly-wed, having been married for just four weeks.

Thriller - Part 3: Operation Bluebell

Season 6 · Episode 20

jeudi 22 juillet 2021Duration 01:13:00

Continuing this series Thriller arc, the two individuals we have met so far throughout the tale had soon gravitated from the appalling catalogue of sexual assaults they had carried out in the North London area over a period of three years. At the very end of 1985, they had crossed the thin line from rapist to killer with the appalling murder of a 19 year old secretary named Alison Day.

And almost five months later, they struck again, this time managing to add a new predatory dimension to their campaign.

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

Thriller - Part 2: Alison's Story

Season 6 · Episode 19

samedi 17 juillet 2021Duration 01:03:51

In the opening episode of this series Thriller arc, we were introduced to two individuals who from the middle of 1982 onwards, carried out an appalling catalogue of sexual assaults in the North London area. The attacks gained in proficiency and frequency, then at least one of the men branched out and began attacking women alone - as well as in tandem with his partner.

And finally, for whatever reason, sexual assault just wasn't enough - a step further was wanted, or needed. So with just two days of 1985 remaining, the line from rapist to killer was crossed by each.

Season 6 · Episode 18

jeudi 8 juillet 2021Duration 01:06:10

The long promised, long awaited series multi episode arc begins this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a tale that really does have the lot - horror, evil, groundbreaking investigative tools, and legal firsts. We shall get to all of those in time as the arc progresses, but to begin with, we go back to June 1982 to North London, where a chilling, abhorrent fantasy was about to become a reality....

The tale is a truly unforgettable one.

Annihilator

Season 6 · Episode 17

jeudi 17 juin 2021Duration 01:24:03

Family is supposed to mean everything to a person, it's what we are raised in and grow with, it's what we go on to have ourselves, what we nurture, and what we are supposed to love and protect with our all.

But not everybody feels this, do they? This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, there comes a tale of true horror from the turn of this century - where you'll see just how little family meant to one individual.

The tale is an unforgettable one.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving in part crimes against children and descriptions of animal cruelty/slaughter, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
