The Hampshire beauty spot of Farley Mount Country Park, located near the city of Winchester, is a popular destination in daylight hours for families, joggers and dog walkers, whilst of the evening, it takes on a different kind of visitor - couples, and the voyeuristic who enjoy watching these for their own gratification. During the 1990's, it was also the scene of several disturbing incidents and attacks by an offender who to this day, remains at large, having never faced justice.

Or did he?

There is a saying, Revenge is a dish best served cold. For the tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head back to 1983, and over to Ireland's capital city of Dublin, for a bleak tale where revenge was served cold-blooded.

Revenge which ended in triple murder.

Pilot, Cruise Ship Captain, successful businessman, gifted salesman, entrepreneur, property renovator, heir to a massive fortune, able to drop claims of rubbing shoulders with political figures, all whilst living a champagne lifestyle. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we meet an individual who was all that and more.

On paper, and according to him, anyway - but one who left a costly trail of devestation in his wake.

Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.

And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.

I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.

For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.

"E AH A DE OH - The Farmer Wants A Wife" goes the old nursery rhyme. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Hertfordshire and back to 2018, where we will hear the tragic tale of a farmer who, if he could have, would have certainly wanted a better wife.

One who, along with her lover, wanted nothing more than him dead.

We head to the East Yorkshire city of Hull this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where one bright April evening in 2016, the resident of number 9 May Street got the shock of her life as she peered into the garden of the neighbouring property.Amongst the various clutter and discarded rubbish in the garden was a duvet.

Out of which, was poking a human leg....

If a person makes an enemy, the chances are that the circumstances or events that has led to such a thing will not extend further than a series of harsh words exchanged, occasionally a physical confrontation, and a years long, perhaps lifelong dislike of that person. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Liverpool and back to 2008 for a tale of a feud that festered over years, and led to the most horrific and tragic of circumstances.

Evil, once it is inside a person, never really goes away - it may remain dormant for many years, but it is always there. To the horror of a Peterborough family back in 2018, the evil that was dormant in one such individual stirred with the most horrific of consequences - at the same time, reactivating the nightmare that a Derbyshire family had spent almost four decades trying to deal with.
