On the 13th of February 2017, two young women - believing that they were taking part in a bizarre Japanese game show -  smeared baby oil across the face of a stranger at Kuala Lumpur Airport in Malaysia.  

The truth, however, was that there was no Japanese game show; the baby oil wasn't baby oil; and these two women had just unknowingly assassinated the estranged half-brother of North Korea's one and only, Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un.

In the space of 3 weeks in October 2002, Washington D.C was terrorised by a pair of spree killers carrying out a spate of deadly sniper-style attacks. They killed 10 people and injured 3 others.

Their choice of victims was shockingly random; they crossed racial, gender, age and socioeconomic lines - ensuring that everyone was absolutely terrified.

And when the pair were finally apprehended, authorities realised that they had been wrong about almost everything from motive to profile…

What could drag a seemingly normal man, from being a fun-loving Christian surf instructor to killing his own children in fear of their "serpent DNA"? 

In part two of our deep-dive into the evolution of the Satanic Panic, we talk bout how anonymous messages left on 4chan became a global cult and started a chain of events that has led to real-world violence including the 2021 Capitol riots, and the deaths of two children. It's time to talk QAnon…

And the unbelievably gruesome discovery made the next day, left the people of America shaken to their Christian cores…

On the 14th of April 1984, the body of a baby boy was found on Cahersiveen Beach, County Kerry in Ireland. The baby had been stabbed 28 times and its neck was broken.

The Garda quickly found a suspect; Joanne Hayes. And soon, this police investigation became a medieval witch hunt and a dissection of motherhood itself.

Every parent's worst fear is that their child is taken away from them. 
Some imagine that if they relax for a second their child could be snatched from their grasp. But what if you did everything right? 

What if you identified the danger?
What if you told the police?
What if your child was tricked and manipulated right in front of your eyes?

That is the living hell experienced by Lorin LaFave and Barry Bednar, and that is the story of Breck Bednar and Lewis Daynes.

The deadliest event in UK sporting history took place on the 15th of April, 1989. In the starting minutes of the  F.A. Cup semi-finals between Liverpool F.C. and Nottingham Forest, a disaster unfolded which to date has claimed the lives of 97 people. and left 766 others injured on the day. 

These innocent people were the victims of the complacency, ineptitude, and sheer incompetence of those whose very jobs were to ensure their safety. 

Institutional coverups, police corruption, evidence tampering, and lies in the media made it take almost 30 years for the truth to come to light.

In the world of true crime, the media is often accused of inaccuracy, dramatisation, and sensational headline writing, but there's an exception to every rule. Never has a killer fitted their moniker more than Peter Kürten, 'The Vampire of Düsseldorf'...

Kürten may well have had a reflection and he may not have hung from the ceiling like a bat, but in one very key aspect, he was every bit Deutschland's Dracula.
