This week Carrie chooses our subject and it is one of the most famous examples of a science experiment going wrong. In the 1970's a Psychology professor at California's Stanford University spent one summer carrying out an experiment into the study of authority. 20 volunteers were paid to play the parts of prisoners and guards and were randomly separated into these two roles. Within a couple of days the experiment had gone very dark as the 'guards' began to take punishments too far and 'prisoners' began to feel the experience was all too real. All in the space of six days the experiment was shut down and as the results began to leak out into the public domain, quickly became infamous.

This episode is brought to you by Carrie. This is the case of the poor souls who set out on a voyage from the continent to the UK for a better life back in October 2019 and didn't make it alive. In fact their transport became their tomb. This was a case that shocked and horrified the country, and brought to our attention the evil of the people smugglers and the callous nature of their wicked trade. How they prey on the hopes and dreams of innocent people with little regard for health or safety, and how easily people can suffocate to death on the treacherous journey.

Back in 1999 Jill was a firm TV favourite appearing on many high profile BBC programmes, but most notably as one of the presenters of Crimewatch.

The country was in shock when, on the morning of the 26th April 1999 the news came through that Jill had been shot dead on her doorstep. Having no leads the police did a re-enactment the following week on Crimewatch and after a year a man called Barry George was arrested and sent to prison for the murder. Following a re-trial 8 years later, Mr George was acquitted and released and there the case remains to this day, unsolved.

On the morning of the 18th of June 2001, 15-year-old Danielle Jones left her house in Essex to go to school and never returned. After an extensive investigation all evidence pointed at one man - Dannielle's uncle, Stuart Campbell. He was eventually convicted of her murder and even to this day withholds the vital piece of information that would bring some peace to her family - where he left Danielle's body. Carrie and Lauren take a deep dive into this heart-breaking case and ask - should anyone ever be considered for parole when they still deny the crime and refuse to divulge where the body of their victim is? And just how effective is Helen's Law?

This month we cover the sad case of the murder of Tia Sharp, the 12 year old London schoolgirl who was murdered by her step-grandad, Stuart Hazell. The hunt for Tia was huge and coverage in the days following her disappearance was front page news. Little did anyone realise that they were looking in the wrong place outside of the home and that poor Tia never left her grandparents house. In fact it would take the police a week and four separate searches before they found her. Please join us in learning about this unbelievable sad case.

This episode is brought to you lovely people by Carrie. It is kind of a mind control episode as it covers the famous Pavlovian experiment - fascinating stuff, about the scientist who measured the triggered responses of his dogs to various stimulus.  This is followed by the case of the young McDonald's employee, Louise Ogborn, who at the age of 18 suffered a 4 hour ordeal at the hands of an anonymous 'police officer Scott' who instructed, by phone the adults around her to carry out the most unimaginable crimes. What would you have done in that situation?
