One summer evening, Michelle stepped outside her home and became the target of a violent ambush. Four shots were fired. All missed. Michelle survived - shaken, terrified, but alive. And in surviving, she unknowingly became the turning point in a case that had gone cold. Because when police began pulling at the threads of that failed hit, they were led not just to a teenage gunman… but back to a man who thought he had already gotten away with murder.

On a frozen January morning in rural Colorado, two people are found brutally murdered inside a home with no signs of forced entry. The violence was so personal, so deliberate, that investigators were forced to consider a terrifying possibility - the killer didn’t come from the darkness outside… they came from within the family. And once police uncover what had been happening behind closed doors, the two prime suspects start blaming each other...

On a quiet afternoon in September 2003, Sweden’s Foreign Minister Anna Lindh walked into a central Stockholm department store to buy clothes for a televised debate later that evening. She had no security detail, no warning, and no reason to believe she was in danger. Minutes later, she lay critically wounded on the shop floor as her attacker vanished into the city...

Whilst I take a break for Christmas, I wanted to R&R (rewind and repeat) one of the most horrific cases I covered.

Have a lovely Christmas - New Year period, and your next new episode will be in your feed one New Year's day!

Imagine trusting the local candy store owner, only to discover he’s one of the most sadistic serial killers in history. Dean Corll, the man they called 'The Candy Man,' lured innocent teens into a nightmare beyond belief. What drove him to commit some of the most chilling murders in Texas history? You won’t believe how deep this darkness goes...

Listener discretion is advised.

Towards the end of this episode, I also reference the Ruthie Mae McCoy case:

On a cold January morning in Pennsylvania, a jogger passes a hat factory and notices something out of place in the woods... a pink Ugg boot, half-buried in mud. A few steps later, a pristine handbag. Inside, an ID belonging to a 23-year-old woman who was last seen leaving her home the night before New Year’s Eve.

Ashley Kline was known for being kind, trusting, and reliable. She lived at home with her father, had plans for the future, and was excited for the year ahead. When she didn’t come home - and didn’t show up for a New Year’s party - those closest to her knew something was wrong.

Christmas Eve should have been a night of celebration… but for 26-year-old Elle Edwards, it turned into a nightmare. Outside The Lighthouse pub in Wallasey, a gunman in a stolen Mercedes opened fire, changing lives forever.

Who was behind this shocking act of violence? How could someone plan such a brutal attack in front of dozens of innocent people?

On a quiet Friday evening in Busan, a university student prepares for a routine English tutoring session. A new student is due to arrive- a teenage girl, straight from school, still in uniform. It’s the kind of meeting that happens thousands of times a day across South Korea, where private tutoring is part of everyday life.

At 6pm, there’s a knock at the door.

What happened next would become one of the most disturbing true crime cases South Korea had seen in years.

When undercover cameras rolled inside Winterbourne View Hospital, the truth was worse than anyone imagined.

What was meant to be a safe, specialist unit for vulnerable adults was, in reality, a place of torment — a system-wide failure hiding in plain sight.

In this episode, we trace the shocking abuse uncovered by BBC Panorama, the promises made in its aftermath, and the uncomfortable truth more than a decade on: despite national pledges and sweeping reforms, thousands of people with learning disabilities are still living in hospital units miles from home.

This is the real story of Winterbourne View — the cruelty, the cover-ups, and the long shadow it still casts across the UK care system.

Michael O’Leary received a surprising message from an unexpected source — his lover’s husband. Using a secret phone, the message asked for a “cwtch” and drew him to Cincoed Farm in Cwmffrwd. But what seemed like a simple rendezvous quickly turned sinister. This episode unravels the tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and deception that set the stage for one of Wales’ most chilling cases.

Today I'm joined by Adam from UK True Crime. You can find more details about his show ⁠⁠here⁠⁠!
