Hello you lovely supporters of our podcast, as a gift for Christmas here is the previously exclusive Patreon episode of the astonishing case of Rodney Alcala, AKA the Dating Game killer. 

In the 1970's Alcala would commit many violent and often fatal attacks on women and girls across America.  During the height of his crimes he appeared as 'Bachelor number 1' on the hit TV show, The Dating Game, and he even won!  However his date on the show, Cheryl Bradshaw, refused to attend the tennis lesson date they had won as she found Rodney too creepy... how astute her intuition turned out to be.

In 1979 he was captured and found guilty of murdering a 12 year old girl and he lived out the rest of his life behind bars.  This would transpire to be very fortunate because as the turn of the 21st century brought about new forensics, including DNA profiling, he would be charged with and convicted of five more murders.

Merry Christmas you beautiful people!

Hello hello and welcome back to Series 6, Bloody Britain.

This week we are on Episode 4, and the case of Robert Maudsley also know as - Spoons, The Brain Eater and Hannibal The Cannibal.

Robert is an English man convicted of multiple murders. However what is strange about this case is he became a serial killer whilst in prison.

Robert committed his first murder in the late 1970's and still languishes in solitary confinement to this day, in a glass underground custom-built cage in Monster Mansion aka Wakefield prison.

He now holds the record for being the longest serving prisoner in solitary confinement in the UK.

Join Carrie and Lauren as they dive deep in to Robert's unfortunate case. Ever wondered why someone gets the nickname Spoons? Find out this week.

Hello and welcome to episode 2 of Bloody Britain, where all of the cases are from the UK.

This week we discuss and investigate the case of 22 year old David Copeland who carried out a series of bombings in central London in April 1999.  With his right-wing views he was on a one-man mission to cause fear and division in the  diverse communities of London's minority population.

He successfully manufactured and detonated three bombs over three weeks, first in Brixton, South London then Brick Lane, East London and finally Soho in London's West End.  At the time any of London's minority groups felt they could be next and all Londoners were on high alert, always vigilant and fearing the worst.

Lozza and Cazza delve into what happened from the view of eyewitnesses and how the perpetrator was caught.

Aaaaaaaaaand we're back baby for series 6!

If you have followed our true crime podcast up to now you will know we love a theme so this series theme is called Bloody Britain as all of our cases will be from the UK.

So we have begun the series, following on from our Blue Murder Talks with DCI Colin Sutton, with the case of Levi Bellfield.

Bellfield was a violent criminal long before he was apprehended, with a history of violence against women and men, drug dealing, extortion, the list went on and on.  His is the terrifying tale of how his temper grew so out of control that he became one the UK's most vicious and prevalent serial killers.

In the episode we remember the young victims whose lives were cut tragically short by this brutal killer and hear the stories of the brave young women who survived and how through their brave recollections and testimonies, saw him brought to justice and placed behind bars where he can never hurt anyone again.

Hi, welcome back to our in-between series of Blue Murder Talks and this week we were lucky enough to sit down and pick the brains of London policeman, Leon McLeod.

This is a brilliant episode where we get the chance to discuss crime and criminality, law and order with one of the brave people who make up our police force.

Leon discusses how he became a cop and a bit of what it's like to be in the front line, day in, day out and believe us, it is a fascinating listen.

It's series finale time Blue Murder Clubbers and as sad as we are to come to the end of our travels around the world, we are very excited to bring you this huge case, the case of the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.

The inspiration for Stephen King's IT and many other creepy clown stories, Gacy's crimes really were the stuff of nightmares.

Born into a normal family in 1940's Chicago, Gacy struggled with his bi-sexuality from an early age, and never seemed to understand the concept of consent.

Jailed in his 20's for a s-x crime, Gacy went on to commit more and more offences until he finally tipped over into murder, progressing quickly to serial murder.

His crimes went undetected for years until the law finally caught up with him and the most gruesome discovery was made in the crawl space under his house - the decomposing bodies over nearly 30 young men and boys.

Thanks for listening everyone and we will be back soon for series 6 💙💙
