Episode 15: Dr and Mrs Wood, The Doctor Won’t See You Now, Murder He Wrote

In this episode we’ll be stopping off in Scotland’s 4th biggest city, and calling in at an infamous house, so much so that locally it’s referred to as The Murder House. We’ll be investigating the case of a retired doctor and his wife’s brutal death, and the fact that this double murder has seen no one in the docs answering the case of this savage attack, and that’s despite the fact that there’s a written confession out there.

Episode 14: The Brenda Page Case, A Scientist Waiting for Science Advances

In this episode we’re back under the northern lights of Old Aberdeen again, right in the heart of the city. We’re in the west end, and a street that’s filled with starter flats for first time buyers, and for those that are starting again. It’s also a road I know well as I lived in the next street, albeit 30 years later. We’re with a couple of work colleagues from Aberdeen University, they’re just about to discover Brenda Page, dead in her bed, and sadly this super bright lady didn’t die peacefully in her sleep, she died a violent death. But who would want to kill a recently divorced scientist, yes, the husband obviously, but there’s a longer list than you’d expect for an academic in a small, yet booming city.

Episode 13: Spirited Away, The Arlene Fraser Case

This case sees us standing at the school gates waiting for Mum to come and collect us, it’s Tuesday the 28th 1998. Mum’s normally home from college and doing the house work, she’s never missed a day of picking us up. Back at the Fraser family home we find the door open, but the house is deserted mid house cleaning, it’s like the Mary Celeste. Where is Arlene, and why is her estranged husband so distraught and helpful? Is it all crocodile tears, and a well constructed alibi? This case will leave you frustrated, and sees us back in court twice. It’s a case with a very recognisable face for those that live in that area, a face that has two sides.

Episode 12: Peter Tobin, The Scumbag With A Thousand Names 

In this week’s case we’ll start off in the holiest of places, and finish in a Kent seaside town. Three young women will have their lives cut short, a national operation will be opened, and a slippery handyman will be caught after being lazy when putting carpeting back down in a chapel. And are we to believe that this man has only done this three times. Sadly we’re back in serial killer territory, so you may need a wee dram to go along with this one.

Episode 11: Scumspotting - The Murder of Caroline Glachan

In this episode we’ll be discussing a seemingly motiveless murder of a 14 year old girl, a horrible start to a person’s forties and a murder trial with our youngest ever witness.  But why did it take so long for justice to be given to her Mum and father, and are we so sure that the 3 suspects are really the ones who savagely ripped life away from this young girl?

Episode 10: Lynda Spence, Grifting The Wrong People

In this episode I outline the case of a woman who gets herself in very hot water, stealing from the wrong kind of people that result in her being kidnapped, tortured and murdered.  I think of the cases we’ve covered so far she the most unsympathetic murder victim as she’s a scammer, and out and out thief, and she was a young lady that played with fire, and literally got burnt because of it.  Buckle up podfiends, this is an ugly one.  It’s a case so filled with twists and turns that it was just as well that the Major Investigation Team ran the case.

Episode 9: Heart of Glass, The Stephen Donaldson Slaying

In this episode we’ll be heading to never land, but sadly this story sees us with two Captain Hooks and an evil tinkerbell. This case rocked a tiny town with such a savage murder, and yet another vehicle on fire, come on Scotland, what’s up with setting so many cars on fire. It’s a case that sees a possible love triangle, or is it a case of not paying what’s owed. Forensics very much played a major role in giving justice to a hard working guy, who was already a success at such a young age.

Episode 8: The narcisstic nurse

In today’s episode we’ll be racking up the air miles, seeing one woman lose her life, and three who all had a lucky escape. This man, in the caring profession, only cares about one thing, and that’s himself. He loves himself and will go to extreme lengths to make sure he’s well looked after. Fold away your tray tables, put your seats into the upright position and buckle up for a heartless, craven ride that may equal that of Frodo and his ring.

Episode 7: The Ardlamont Murder: A hunting accident, or Murder?

In this episode’s case we’ll be popping on our Sunday best, jumping in the time machine and heading off to the remote location of Adrlamont House, a Georgian country house, located in an isolated peninsula in Argyll. There, we see three young chaps having a jolly time slaughtering the local rabbit population.  But, wait, it seems there’s only two of them when they come back to the house.  There’s been a terrible accident, young master Cecil has shot himself in the head! It’s surely a horrible accident, right?  Nothing to do with the previous day’s boating accident, or the shady past of the young master’s tutor? It’s Elementary, my dear listener! 
After the horrific World’s End case, I’ve decided to take us back to late Victorian times, and only one death this episode!

Episode 6: The World’s End Murders, A Long Road to Justice

In this episode we’re in Auld Reechie!! We’ll start in an Edinburgh’s old town institution,and go through to Glasgow. This case was a shadow over Scotland for a long time, and it took a change in science, and a change in the law to bring a monster to justice.  He’s a psychopath in all senses of the world, who started his criminal career at a young age.
