In October 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team, along with their friends and family, crashed into the remote Andes mountains. What followed became one of the most remarkable and haunting survival stories in modern history.

For 72 days, the survivors faced freezing conditions, avalanches, hunger, and despair. Cut off from the world and with no rescue in sight, they were forced to make unimaginable choices in order to stay alive. Against all odds, a handful of them managed to endure and eventually trek across the mountains to find help, ensuring the survival of the remaining passengers.

In this episode, we explore the crash itself, the brutal conditions in the mountains, the resilience of the survivors, and the legacy this story has left behind. It is a tale of tragedy, courage, and the extremes of human endurance.

For decades, women across the United States were disappearing, their cases often overlooked, misclassified, or forgotten. Behind it all was one man: Samuel Little.

Little’s crimes spanned more than 30 years, making him America’s most prolific confirmed serial killer. He claimed responsibility for over 90 murders, and the FBI later verified at least 60 of them, a chilling record in U.S. history. His victims were often among society’s most vulnerable, which tragically allowed his crimes to go undetected for far too long.

In this episode, we trace Little’s early life and criminal background, his disturbing methods, and how he managed to avoid justice for decades. We also look at how modern investigative work finally exposed the full scale of his atrocities, leading to a shocking legacy that still raises questions about law enforcement failures, victim profiling, and justice for the forgotten.

This is the story of manipulation, brutality, and a criminal who managed to hide in plain sight.

In March 1998, 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch was abducted on her way to school in Vienna, Austria. She would not be seen in public again for more than eight years.

Held captive in a hidden basement by Wolfgang Přiklopil, Natascha endured unimaginable isolation and abuse. During her 3,096 days in captivity, she was cut off from the outside world, surviving in a small, windowless cell. Her eventual escape in August 2006 stunned the world and raised haunting questions about survival, trauma, and resilience.

In this episode, we explore Natascha’s early life, the day of her abduction, the years of confinement, and the remarkable moment she finally broke free. We also discuss the investigation, Přiklopil’s actions, and Natascha’s own powerful reflections on her ordeal and recovery.

This is a story not only of cruelty but also of extraordinary strength and survival against overwhelming odds.

On the 14th of June 2017, a fire tore through Grenfell Tower in West London. Within hours, the blaze had engulfed almost the entire 24-storey building, leading to the deaths of 72 people and leaving hundreds more injured or displaced.

Grenfell was not just a tragedy of unimaginable loss, it became a symbol of systemic failure. Questions arose about the safety of high-rise housing, the cladding used on the tower, and the way residents’ repeated warnings were ignored. The fire highlighted deep issues of inequality, neglect, and accountability within modern Britain.

In this episode, we revisit the events of that night, the heroic rescue attempts, the stories of those who survived, and the aftermath that continues to affect families, campaigners, and the country at large. Grenfell is more than a single event. It is a lasting reminder of the importance of justice, responsibility, and listening to communities before disaster strikes.

The Grenfell Tower fire left an indelible mark on the UK. Do you think enough has been done since the tragedy to ensure nothing like this can ever happen again...?

For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs has stood as a towering figure in music, business, and celebrity culture. A billionaire mogul. A hitmaker. A tastemaker. But beneath the surface of platinum records and champagne-soaked parties, there have long been whispers. Stories. Allegations.

In recent years, those whispers have become unavoidable.

From disturbing lawsuits and accusations of abuse, to accounts of intimidation, manipulation, and exploitation - the Diddy we thought we knew may not be the full picture. And while some still see him as a larger-than-life icon, others are beginning to ask: how much of that empire was built on silence and fear?

In this episode, we take a look at Diddy’s rise to power, the lawsuits and headlines that followed him, and the darker truths that may have been hiding in plain sight. We discuss the wider culture around him, the people who’ve spoken out, and why some voices have taken so long to be heard.

This isn’t a deep dive into fame... it’s a step into the shadows of it.

In 2015, emergency services were called to a blood-soaked apartment in Sunrise, Florida. When paramedics arrived, they found 31-year-old Maria Nemeth dead in the closet. Her body had been horrifically mutilated and sitting calmly nearby was her boyfriend, Fidel Lopez.

What followed was one of the most disturbing confessions ever recorded. Lopez initially claimed Maria’s death was the result of rough, consensual sex gone wrong. But within hours, he broke down and described a scene of uncontrolled rage and graphic violence, triggered, he said, by the mere mention of her ex-husband’s name.

This is a case of possession, jealousy, and raw brutality, one that left experienced detectives visibly shaken. The details are gruesome, the motive paper-thin, and the aftermath unforgettably bleak.

In this episode, we walk through the timeline of the crime, the psychological red flags, and the chilling interrogation footage that exposed Lopez’s true state of mind. This is not just a story about a violent outburst. It’s a glimpse into what lies beneath when control, identity, and obsession collide.

In the SERIES FINALE of I Could Murder A Podcast, Tom, Ben & Dan dive into the chilling story of The Ant Hill Kids — a cult so twisted it would leave even the most hardened true crime fans speechless. Led by the sadistic and self-proclaimed prophet Roch Thériault, this so-called "commune" in rural Canada spiraled into an isolated nightmare of control, cruelty, and unthinkable abuse.

We uncover how Thériault’s terrifying blend of charisma, manipulation, and religious fanaticism turned devoted followers into prisoners of fear — and how, despite countless warning signs, the horrors within the camp went unchecked for years. From forced amputations to brutal punishments, this is a story where the quest for spiritual purity became a descent into pure evil.

Prepare yourself: this isn’t just one of the darkest cult cases we’ve covered — it’s a stark reminder of how easily faith can be weaponised... and how silence can become deadly.
