This week we head across the Atlantic to Chicago, as we explore the Jussie Smollett Hate Crime Hoax of 2019.

In early 2019, Jussie Smollett was half way through filming the fifth season of the hit show Empire when he was savagely assaulted in a racist and homophobic attack while walking home from Subway in the early hours of the morning. What followed led to widespread condemnation and important debate at what was a politically sensitive time for the USA. But the condemnation and debate was based on hollow foundations, for Jussie had made the whole thing up. And it wouldn't take long for his tall tales to catch up with him...

Josef Fritzl: Reign of Terror - PART 1 (PART 2 ALSO OUT NOW)

Josef Fritzl: Reign of Terror - PART 2

This week we head Down Under, to the vibrant city of Adelaide.
Adelaide is undeniably stunning, and has long enjoyed reasonably low rates of violent crime – so it is equally both sad and surprising that such a beautiful part of the world should become the backdrop to this weeks’ episode; a story of jealousy, obsession, abuse, and ultimately, murder, which culminated in the tragic death of a young nursing student who had a promising future stretching out ahead of her but was taken away far too soon by an obsessed man who had sworn to love and possess her – by any means necessary.

Buried Alive: Jasmeen Kaur

This week we head to Scotland as we explore the tragic life of Amber Gibson.
Aged just three, Amber, along with her five-year-old brother Connor, had already endured a life of neglect and abuse - it was all she knew. But when she was removed from the family home and placed into foster care, it looked as though she was destined for a happy ending... 
However, as we know all too well, it doesn't always happen like that. While her foster family was loving and supportive, a catastrophic chain of events had already been set in motion that would see her betrayed in the cruellest of ways.
