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.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

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.
