Published on 28 Jan 2017. The desert roads of the Northern Territory are as long as they are desolate. If you stand still, your own heartbeat is the loudest sound you’ll hear.

The thrill of the open road and the sheer expanse of the hot desert is an exciting drawcard for many, but for those used to big cities, busy beaches or in this case, the relentless rain and dark clouded skies of England, driving from Adelaide to Darwin was the thrill of a lifetime, and unlike anything they had experienced before.

But it would soon turn into a nightmare…

Published on 12 Sep 2016. This is a bizarre tale. Part gruesome murder tale, part love story. Yes, you read that right..

None of of the Gainesville Ripper story makes much sense, but it made an entire university of 30,000+ students panic and leave their studies and futures behind, for the sake of their personal safety.

This story also challenges our ideas of what crime-journalism is and should be. "Guilty until proven innocent?" ...that's not a well-recognized concept these days. And the media and public are quick to judge those on the periphery of the story as well. Sometimes their judgements are right, but sometimes they can equally be misguided.

Published on 23 Jul 2018. Islands have served a variety of functions for people over the years. They can be a place of safety and privacy, or of simplicity and escape. But islands have played host to other less savory events over the years. And just because they can be small, it doesn’t mean they can’t be dark.

Published on 24 Apr 2014. Every year for the past few years, tens of thousand of flytraps have gone missing – from the wild, from gardens, from nurseries. And, really, nobody knows where they go. What’s cropped up in rural North Carolina is essentially a Venus Flytrap crime ring — with lackies, middle men, and a mysterious end buyer who’s perpetuating the market.

Published on 07 Jan 2019. At the time of his arrest in 2010, Russell Williams was a Colonel in the Canadian Forces. He had risen through the ranks to command the country's largest Air Force base in Trenton. He had been married to his wife Mary for almost 20 years. On the surface, it looked like he had a great life. But Williams harbored a secret fetish that he couldn't control.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Russell Williams who committed 82 home break-ins from 2007 to 2010. He couldn't contain his fetish for wearing women's undergarments to his own home. He was extremely successful at breaking into homes and modeling the bathing suits, lingerie, and underwear of the women and girls that lived there. This success fueled his need to commit more crimes and he went from break-ins to sexual assault, then eventually to murder.
