In this chilling episode, Maia Warner and Grant Thomas dig into the twisted tale of Maria Martin—a young woman whose secret romance ended in betrayal, murder, and a shallow grave beneath the floorboards of a crumbling Suffolk barn. Set in 1827 and powered by prophetic dreams, shady love letters, and a suspiciously well-timed disappearance, this true crime saga has it all: scandal, séance vibes, and a stepmother with psychic accuracy. From the trial that captivated England to the grotesque public displays that followed William Corder’s execution, we’re serving up courtroom drama, creepy details, and a haunting reminder that sometimes your gut (or your dreams) knows more than the law. Join us as Maia explains a Little Red Lie and the Red Barn Murder.
