Bonus Episode - The "Earprint" Murder

Welcome to The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which started off life as a weekly written blog in 2016, and has now made the jump into a regular one man and his mic, matter of fact straight talking podcast. In it, the host Paul looks at and recounts in-depth true crime cases from the UK and Ireland - both solved or unsolved crimes, but more often than not the lesser known and obscure ones.

S9 Ep5: Monsters Of Greater Manchester

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. 



The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

S9 Ep4: My Brother, My Killer

"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. 



The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  children, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

S9 Ep3: Neighbour From Hell

Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole.



How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show. 



The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

S9 Ep2: Triangle Of Terror: Part 2 - Snared

Back with the first of a two part tale to start the brand new 9th series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and for it, we head back to the summer of 1984, where for three counties of the south of England - Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire - a cloud of fear hung over them. A simple yet prolific burglar was to over the space of five months evolve disturbingly in his criminality, and create near hysteria in these parts, a terrifying offender who came to be known as The Fox....



It's good to be back with you. 



The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
