Jump in a hansom cab and come with me to the foggy, lamplit streets of London’s East End as we embark on this 7 part mini-series on the gruesome murders of arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time… Jack the Ripper. Pack your doss money and a penny for the newsboy and let’s get started with two killings that occurred just before the Autumn of Terror. Could Emma Smith and Martha Tabram have been early Ripper victims?

Join me for a quick chat and Q&A session; thanks so much to all my listeners for the comments, reviews and questions. If you stick around to the end, I’ll be announcing an exciting, immersive, 7 part miniseries coming soon in November and you might just get a sneak preview!

Black versus white, North versus South, vigilantes and a deathbed confession. Join me for all this and more as we travel to Atlanta, Georgia in 1913 to learn about the tragic death of 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan – one of the most divisive cases in history. Was the right man found guilty, or was it impossible to hold a fair trial in a state riven by racial, religious and geographic tension that had been brewing ever since the end of the Civil War?

A school should be a place of learning, somewhere you feel safe. But in 2006, a 13-year-old girl in Israel went to the bathroom and never came back. Is the right man behind bars, or is there a second victim in this tangled case?

We travel back to Minnesota in 1912 to discover the tragic case of a young woman slain just yards from home: so close to safety, yet so far from salvation. She was popular and hardworking, with a loving, happy family, and no enemies. So how was it possible that a man confessed multiple times to killing 21-year-old Alice Matthews, but nobody was ever taken to trial?

Most murderers try to hide their crimes. But this one wrote a book about it. Join me on a journey to Poland as we learn about the strange case of the failed intellectual, businessman and novelist who brutally killed his ex-wife’s lover in a jealous rage. He thought he was smarter than the police. But he was wrong.

When Quakers Hill Nursing Home hired a new member of staff without conducting proper background checks, they had no idea of the carnage that would follow, as their night shift nurse Roger Dean became one of the worst mass murderers in Australian history. Murder is always distressing, but when the victims are some of society’s most vulnerable members, it becomes even more poignant.

Last time, in the first part of this double episode, I told the story of the disguise-wearing, letter-writing serial killer operating in California’s Bay Area in 1968 and 69, who christened himself Zodiac. His choice of victim changed, as did his MO, so how do you catch a killer whose only motive is achieving infamy and mocking the police? Join me for Part 2, where we’ll analyse the killer’s behaviour and review some of the popular suspects and theories, and we’ll hear from Zodiac expert Michael Butterfield. It’s a case that’s now over 50 years old, so will the killer ever be named?
