True Crime: Geoffrey Evans and John Shaw


Listen Later

In the summer of 1976 two serial killers stalked the roads of Ireland in a Ford Cortina looking for young women to abduct, rape and murder in order to “fulfil” their “shared fantasy” of raping and killing one woman every week while in Ireland. When they arrived in Ireland, they didn’t immediately start with the killing. They actually went on a crime spree in Wicklow where they committed a series of burglaries before being sent to Mountjoy Prison. When they were released from prison, they decided that they would do what they wanted, namely the aforementioned fantasy. Later, after they were arrested for the final time, they ended up telling the gardaí that they had decided to “embark on an unprecedented and macabre programme of abduction, rape and murder.”

Stay safe out there.


With love,

Saaniya and Maddie x
