On the 10th of April, 2008, 16 year old Meghan Landowski arrived home from school in Portsmouth, Virginia. She called her mum to say she was back safely - just a normal afternoon for a teenager juggling school, friends, and dance classes.

When Meghan's stepfather walked through the front door later that afternoon, something immediately felt wrong. The house was quiet. The front door had been left open. And in the kitchen, he discovered a scene that would launch one of the most disturbing investigations the community had ever seen.

Meghan had been brutally attacked, restrained with tape, and stabbed dozens of times. The violence suggested a deeply personal crime... but investigators initially had no clear suspect. Police began examining every part of Meghan’s life: her family, her friends, classmates, and anyone who might have crossed paths with the outgoing and very much loved teenager.

Early in the investigation, detectives focused on a man who had previously been accused of assaulting Meghan... a lead that seemed almost too obvious. But as forensic evidence sent the investigating team in a completely different direction.

Over the next few months, detectives conducted dozens of interviews, collected more than 80 DNA samples, and carefully pieced together Meghan’s final hours...

With the case stalled and pressure mounting, one small detail ... and one suspicious interaction with a teenage boy ... would suddenly change everything.

What followed was a bizarre story involving a mysterious masked attacker, a piece of chewing gum, and a lie that investigators would slowly unravel.

In this episode, we explore the tragic murder of Meghan Landowski, the investigation that followed, the evidence that nearly went unnoticed, and the chilling truth that eventually emerged.

This is the Meghan Landowski case.

This episode was originally released as a Patreon exclusive episode.

In Cannock, Staffordshire, what began as a turbulent relationship quietly spiralled into something far more dangerous. Friends noticed the warning signs long before the police ever did - the volatility, the repeated 999 calls, the fear Louis Price confided in those closest to him. By Christmas Eve 2024, jealousy, obsession and alcohol collided in the early hours of the morning, setting into motion a chain of events that could never be undone. CCTV cameras would capture the truth....

At around 8:30pm that night, after Kim had been onboard for around an hour and a half, she texted Ole jokingly, saying ‘I’m still alive by the way, but going down now’, before adding that Peter had brought cookies and coffee, and then typed ‘I love you’. That was the last time anyone heard from Kim.          

This is a (Repeat and Rewind) episode from November 2021.

Janet Campbell(Fisicaro) sets off on a camping trip with her new husband to the Royal National Park, high above the crashing ocean cliffs south of Sydney.

That evening she leaves the tent to go to the bathroom... but never returns...

As detectives begin to retrace the couple’s final hours, small details start to emerge... details about the campsite, about Janet’s injuries, and about the man she married.

In this episode of REDRUM, we examine the life, death, and investigation that would ultimately force a jury to decide what really happened on that cliff edge.

2 police officers walked into an illegal bootlegging operation in Chicago and ordered the 7 men inside to stand facing the back wall. What happened next made it clear that the 2 men weren't police officers... and this was a mass execution.

I'm taking a week off as I'm a bit unwell, but whilst I do, I wanted to R&R (rewind and repeat) one of the most memorable cases I covered.

In the small town of Bellevue, Idaho, a seemingly perfect family was destroyed in a single morning. But as the investigation unfolded, the spotlight turned to 16-year-old Sarah Johnson. What drove this teenager to commit an act so horrifying, it defied explanation? Or did she at all? Discover the truth behind the bloody crime scene, the tangled web of lies, and the trial that shocked the nation.
