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 Murder20 Aug 202401:25:48
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 Eyes12 Aug 202101:03:26
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: Profile07 Aug 202101:08:47
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 Bride29 Jul 202101:23:35
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 Bluebell22 Jul 202101:13:00
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.

Thriller - Part 2: Alison's Story17 Jul 202101:03:51
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.

Thriller - Part 1: Two Bodies, With One Brain08 Jul 202101:06:10
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.

Annihilator17 Jun 202101:24:03
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 Airman, And The Commander10 Jun 202101:16:23
Whilst mass shootings are almost sadly commonplace in other countries, they are thankfully not so in the UK. Sure, there will be those that the tragic events are etched in your mind so much that just a single word conjures them up - Hungerford, Dunblane, Cumbria.

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you two accounts of ones that you may never have even heard of - which is surprising, because the events are horrific.

My Brother, My Killer06 Apr 202401:13:59
All families have squabbles from time to time - it's human nature. But sometimes, a squabble exists only in the mind of one family member, and when they become obsessed that they are right, wild horses cannot change their mind - sometimes, it borders on paranoia.

The tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, a horrific tale from Manchester back in 2016, shows just what horrific consequenses paranoia can bring.

Back for the second and final part of a two part tale here, where we take up the stories of Walter "Angel Face" Probyn, and John Roger McVicar - "The Muscleman". We've heard in the previous episode the exploits of each individually, and the various scrapes and escapes that led to both of them looking at a number of years longer than a DFS sale.

Those exploits are as unbelieveable as anything - so imagine what happened when you put them together, in a High Security wing?

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"

Every Parent's Nightmare19 Feb 202101:29:22
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.

Neighbour From Hell22 Mar 202401:20:58
"Everybody needs good neighbours" noted the theme tune of a popular 1980's Australian soap opera, and indeed, the majority of us do go on to have those good neighbours, that do become good friends - again, as the theme tune of the soap claimed.

But not always. For one family living in Nottingham back in November 2022, there was to be nothing of the sort next door, except a nightmare - and a killer.

TTCE's Series 5 Review31 Dec 202000:38:47
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.

Except that a pioneering documentary series looked again at it only a few years later, and suggested with some strength - and proof - that it wasn't.
