Solved, Unsolved or Spooky - A True Crime Podcast

• Hi,  to our lovely True Crimer's, thanks for listening and please help us spread the word by telling your friends and family about us.
• Sorry that we were late this week.
• This week Steph is covering a story of a very sick person who committs atrocious crimes against chidren and babies.
• Beverley Allitt   exhibited symptoms of both Munchausen's syndrome and Munchausen's syndrome by Proxy 
•  which are both characterized by getting attention through illness. 
•   With Munchausen's syndrome, physical or psychological symptoms are either self-induced or feigned in oneself to gain attention,
•  while Munchausen's by Proxy involves inflicting injury on others to gain attention for oneself.
• Beverly Allitt was convicted on May 23, 1993, and given 13 life sentences for murder and attempted murder 
• listen to the horror that she inflicted on her tiny victims and their families, if your stomach can take it.
• have a listen kick back and get ready to have your mind blown by the depravity of mankind.
• Please take care and stay safe, Love Steph and Kim xx

• Hi,  to our lovely True Crimer's, thanks for listening and please help us spread the word by telling your friends and family about us.
• This week Kim is covering an American convicted murderer and body snatcher.
• Ed received widespread attention in 1957 after Cops discovered he had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and made trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin. 
• Gein also confessed to killing two women: 
• tavern owner Mary Hogan in 1954 and hardware store owner Bernice Worden in 1957.
• Gein was initially found unfit to stand trial and confined to a mental health facility. By 1968, he was judged competent to stand trial; 
• he was found guilty of the murder of Worden, 
• but he was found legally insane and was remanded to a psychiatric institution.
•  He died at Mendota Mental Health Institute of respiratory failure, on July 26, 1984, aged 77.
•  He is buried next to his family in the Plainfield Cemetery, in a now-unmarked grave. 
• This guy had a difficult childhood and grew up to be totally depraved.
• Definitely Mummy issues and a whole lot more to go along with that.
• listen to all of the sordid things that he did and created if your stomach can take it.
• have a listen kick back and get ready to have your mind blown by the depravity of mankind.
• Please take care and stay safe, Love Steph and Kim xx

• Hi Guys, thanks for listening and thanks for the feedback we have been receiving, we really appreciate every one of you and love to hear from you.
• This week the beautiful Kimberley is covering the  Boy in a box.
• this  is a sad story about a child that has been terribly abused. 
• This episode is not overly graphic, however there is a trigger warning as the storyline is pretty awful.
• The "Boy in the Box" is the name given to an unidentified murder victim,
•  a 4-to 6-year-old boy, whose naked, battered body was found in a bassinet box in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on February 25, 1957.
•  He is also commonly called "America's Unknown Child." 
• His identity has never been discovered, and the case remains open.
• There are many theories about what happened to this little boy and Kim presents them in this episode.
• Police believe that there are still witnesses out there who can identify him, so if you know anything, please come forward.
• Investigators have now gained a DNA profile on the boy and hope to use this to identify him in the future.
• have a listen to this sad tale and have your tissues ready.
• Please take care and stay safe, Love Steph and Kim xx

• Was an American girl who was tortured and burned to death in Madison, Indiana by four teenage girls.
•  She was 12 years old at the time of her death. 
• The incident attracted international attention due to both the brutality of the murder and the young age of the perpetrators, who were aged between 15 and 17 years old. 
• The case was covered on national news and talk programs and has inspired a number of episodes on fictional crime shows.
• This tale just shows how one person can manipulate a group into total submission and get them to perpetrate the most heinous and unthinkable crimes.
• The age of the victim is chilling as is the age of the perpetrators of this horrific crime.
• have a listen to what this young lady had to endure before her awful death.

• This week Steph is covering a story of horrific proportions
• Amy Archer Gilligan systematically murdered a huge number of aged and infirmed elderly men and women, while running a business of death.
• She posed as a kind lady who cared for those in need
• fed them nutritious and yummy concoctions and meals
• spiced up their food with arsenic and other poisons
• and murdered at least 60 people in a short time frame
• She would charge a flat out fee and promised to feed and house you till your last breath, at least she was true to her word
• so sit back and have a  listen and be careful what you eat, who you give money to and who you tell about your will and most importantly no life insurance.

• This week Kim is covering a variety of Australian Mythological Creatures
• Some believe that these creatures are real, and many have been substantiated by stories, tales, photos and even videos.
• Many are from the dream time of Australia's Indigenous People.
• Some are even said to have been here before the Aboriginal People of Australia.
• there are some interesting tales of these two groups fighting each other.
• Some of these mythical creatures sound scary and there are very graphic representations of their physical appearances.
• I learnt a lot from this episode, so sit back and have a  listen and embrace yourself in the local culture.
