On today's episode Ciaran McConnell will cover a modern case of serial murder that took place in the early 2020s. Thankfully the term modern serial killer is not used so often these days. However, episode 41 will document a serial killer that was active in the early 2020s.

The scene for these horrific crimes is the American city of Little Rock. As of August 2025 this killer has yet to be brought to justice. But he is being investigated by local police and the FBI. Is the noose tightening for this killer? Let's hope so!

Welcome to episode 40 of the Cliff's Edge Podcast: The Butcher of Mons with special guest Rion.

On a Spring day in 1997 a Belgian cop got off his horse to investigate what he presumed to be another case of illegal dumping. However, what he discovered was something far more sinister; dismembered human remains that had been left in numerous bin bags. Over the next seven months more bags containing human remains were found throughout the Mons region.

These destressing finds shocked the locals of Mons, but the fear and shock of the public did not lead to an expensive and prolonged investigation. Sadly it was quite the opposite. As time passed the victims plight seems to have been largely forgotten by the authorities. And due to Belgium's statute of limitations; if the killer is not caught in the next fifteen months they will have gotten away with these barbaric murders in the eyes of the law.

Thank you for listening and if you have the time please give us a rating and a share. And if you can a review would be much appreciated.

On episode 39 Ciaran McConnell covers a case that has been described as more terrifying than fiction, and it is hard to argue with that. In the mid 1970s experienced sailors Elanor and Mac Graham, unbeknownst to them, took their final voyage to a remote paradise known as Palmyra in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. What was meant to be a year long trip to paradise soon turned bad for the Grahams. When they first docked at Palmyra they came face to face with a cold blooded fugitive, and months later they vanished. It took the full weight of the FBI years to finally bring some justice to this tragic case.

Welcome to the Cliff's Edge podcast with your host Ciaran McConnell.

The Swinging sixties are well under way in London town, however as night falls a terrifying crime spree has begun with the murders of over half a dozen women and nobody has been apprehended.

Today's episode covers the rather obscure and unsolved case of the 60's Ripper. Despite the crimes taking place in the same city as Jack the Ripper's did, and there being more victims the case has garnered very little attention. But thankfully brilliant authors like Robin Jarossi have released books about the crimes that make sure that these crimes will not be forgotten. The aforementioned Robin joins me on today's episode to give us all a brilliant insight to details of this obscure case.
