Carl Langdell lived part of his life online. He had a blog titled 'Ordinary Decent Human' where he wrote poetry and promoted charity work and also used internet dating sites.

July 23, 2024 Episode 61: Lying To The Nation - The Audacity of Joe O'Reilly
Ian Huntley, Darren Vickers and Stephen McDaniels - all killers who given the performance of their lives, as they appeal for information for 3 missing victims, all of whom, they had killed.

In October 2004, Joe O'Reilly got a call from his children's nursery, to inform him that his wife hadn't picked their children up. She was found murdered in their home that same day. Along side his in-laws, he appealed for information on several TV shows in Ireland... but when new evidence came to light, those appearances would become sinister reminders of just how callous humans can be,

July 09, 2024 Episode 59: 'The Motel Voyeur'
Do you ever feel like you are being watched? In a world where CCTV, mobile phones, doorbell cameras and body worn cameras are seemingly everywhere, we can get caught on camera when we least expect it. There is likely footage out there with our faces on it, and we don’t even realise.

But there are spaces when we expect there to be no cameras. Public bathrooms, changing rooms, hotel rooms…. But for guests in an American motel… those expectations would not be met.

In November 2010, a family from Kapunda, Australia were found dead in their home. They had been the victims of a vile, frenzied and evil attack.

In a town that had almost no crime, a triple murder was the last thing anyone thought could happen, especially to the Rowe family. They were loved, respected and had many friends in their community.

But there was a serial killer in town and it was one of the most unlikely suspects....

June 11, 2024 Episode 55: Consequences - The Dark Side of Trolling
Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can be deadly.

In this new internet age, 'keyboard warriors' are nothing new. The ability to say whatever you want and hide behind a computer screen is too tempting for some.

In todays case, we'll examine three very different cases of trolling, all that had devestating consequences.

June 04, 2024 Episode 54: The Darkest Betrayal - The Crimes of Kieren Lynch
Kieren Lynch masqueraded himself as a loving husband and doting father. But whilst that was once true, over time his behaviour started to change. When his wife left him to try to give her and her daughters a happier life, Kieren started a campaign of terror against her and even his children.

But his campaign ended in one of the most horrific acts of revenge imaginable, whilst his wife remained on the phone to 999, asking for the police, who had had many chances to stop this from happening. But they didn't.
