  • CANNIBAL: Issei Sagawa the Kobe Cannibal

    This week Shaun tells us the very grim story the of Issei Sagawa a real-life cannibal who, being obsessed with cannibalism for as long as he could remember, would finally carry out his self described 'fetish' when he killed his 25-year-old classmate, Renee Hartevelt in 1981.

    Renee was a tall, pretty, highly intelligent and independent woman. The kind the Sagawa had long dreamed about. After seeing the white skin of her arms, he became infatuated with her and asked if she would help translate the literature they were studying. She agreed and the two struck up a friendship.

    In June however, Sagawa's urges were becoming to much to control and he lured Renee back to his apartment. While she sat facing the window, Sagawa took up a gun he had hidden and shot her in the neck. And so at the age of 32, Sagawa finally could enact his cannibalistic fantasies.

    He kept the body in his apartment for four days before he decided to get rid of it by dismembering it, putting it in suitcases and heading to the public park to throw the suitcases in a lake. Why he chose to this in broad daylight or a Paris summer evening is anybody's guess, but he was spotted by multiple people lugging the two heavy suitcases - that were leaking!

    Eventually two joggers approached Sagawa, asking about the suitcases. Denying they were his, he left the park. The joggers however decided to open the suitcase...

  • UNEXPLAINED: Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC)

    This week Sophie talks us through the various reported cases of Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC). SHC is the phenomenon where people suddenly and inexplicably catch on fire seemingly from the inside out… And then usually die.

    We'll examine the case of the drunken Milanese Knight in the 1600s (or 1400s depending on your sources!), the sleeping Parisian woman. Before examining arguably the most famous case of SHC, that of Mary Reeser in Flordia, before examining a series of more recent cases that happened in German, London and Ireland.

    We'll then present theories and potential explanations such as intemperance in the early 1900s to depression in the 1970's, to a more scientific explanation developed in 1990s by Dr John De Haan - the Wick effect.

  • MURDER: The Truro Murders

    This week Craig tell us of a series of kidnapping, rapes and murder of seven young women and girls in Truro, Australia by a charming young psychopath, Christopher Worrall and his besotted and doting accomplice, James Miller in late 1970s.

    In 1978, locals were out foraging for mushrooms when they discovered the leg bone of a cow... or so they thought. Upon closer inspection, they noted that the bone had a shoe attached; inside the shoe was human skin and painted toenails. Clothes, blood stains, and more bones were found nearby. The body was identified to be that of Veronica Knight who had been reported missing two years earlier, around Christmas 1976.
    A year later, the body of Sylvia Pittman was discovered by bush rangers, a mere kilometre from Veronica Knight. She had gone missing around a similar time to Veronica Knight.
    With clear links between the two victims, police found that at least five other women had gone missing in similar circumstances and began an extensive search of the area. The search revealed a two further skeletons; those of Connie Iordanides and Vicki Howell.
    With police struggling to make headway in finding the perpetrator, a reward was issued for any information leading to an arrest. A woman called Amelia rang in saying that James Miller, a friend of an ex-boyfriend had said some strange things to her at a funeral, something about Chris' love of 'thrill-killing'.

    This phone call would lead to the confession and arrest of James Miller. But what happened to Chris Worrall?

  • MURDER: The Axeman of New Orleans (The Case of the Unsolved Serial Killer With A Penchant For Jazz)

    This week Shaun takes us back to late 1910’s and to the city known as the Big Easy, the birth place of Jazz - New Orleans where on March 19th 1918, jazz music could be heard from every home, bar and dance hall. But this wasn't simply to 'let the good times roll'... but out of fear of their lives.

    For Orleanians had been offered a proposition from a serial killer and self-proclaimed 'demon from the hottest of hells'; play jazz and I will stay my axe.

    The Axeman would attack primarily Italian immigrant grocers, by gaining access to their homes by chiselling open a panel on the back door and wriggle though. He would stealthily move through the house to locate an axe and head into the bedroom, where he would then loom over his victims in the dark. When they awoke, he would strike them with the axe, before fleeing into the night. 

    The Axeman, whose crimes would go unsolved, would go on to claim the lives of at least six people and injure a further six more between 1918 -1919.

  • MURDER: Lily Elizabeth Larsson and the Atlas Vampire

    This week, Sophie tells us of the brutal and unsolved murder of Lily Elizabeth Larsson in Stockholm, Sweden in 1932.

    Lily was a 32 year old sex worker who was found murdered in her small apartment in the Atlas area of Stockholm. She was found naked and face down on her made bed. Her clothes folded neatly on a nearby chair. The back of her head had been hit repeatedly with a blunt object and her body reportedly drained of blood, leading to rumour that a vampire had attacked and killed Lily.

    So did a vampire kill Lily? Or merely a disturbed person? Tune in as Sophie tell us the story of Lily Elizabeth Larsson and the Atlas Vampire.
