Bonus Episode: The Shattered Window Podcast Review

We were incredibly lucky to be given early access to a brand new investigative podcast series from Emily G Thompson (host of Morbidology podcast) and Eileen McFarlane (host of CrimeLapse podcast).

Episodes 1 and 2 are being released to the general public on 23 November 2020, however Patreons can access these now and will receive additional bonus content which we believe is well worth it!

Listen to our review and give The Shattered Window a go if you think it's up your street (we are confident it will be!)

You can find the Shattered Window on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and of course Patreon.

Enjoy!

Episode 25: Henry Gallagher. On 18 May 1980, four medical students were playing football when one accidentally knocked the ball over the fence at number 2 Roseangle in Dundee, Scotland. Whilst retrieving the ball, the student glanced through the window of the house and was arrested by what he saw. Inside was what police later described as a crime scene resembling an abattoir. Why was an infirm, retired, well liked doctor and his wife attacked in their home? Why did the murderer go on to commit another heinous double murder in the following few days and what became of him after he was caught? Listen as Joannagh takes you through the case.

Jodi was 14 years old when she was found brutally murdered just a short distance from her house. The alarm was quickly raised and Jodi was discovered by members of her family and her boyfriend the same night she went missing. Her 15 year old boyfriend Luke Mitchell was tried and convicted of her murder, but maintains his innocence after 15 years behind bars. Listen as Joannagh takes us through the case.
