True Crime with Emma

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma🖤

In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into one of Britain’s most shocking and controversial cases — the disappearance of nine-year-old Shannon Matthews.

On 19 February 2008, Shannon vanished after leaving school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, sparking a huge police investigation and a nationwide search.

As the community rallied together and her mother, Karen Matthews, made emotional public appeals for her daughter’s safe return, nobody could have imagined what investigators would eventually uncover.

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma 🖤

For this week’s Missing Monday, I’m revisiting the heartbreaking disappearance of Allan Bryant Jr, who vanished from Glenrothes, Fife, in November 2013 after a night out with friends.

As we mark 13 years since Allan was last seen, his family are still desperately searching for answers. Despite extensive searches, appeals and investigations, Allan’s whereabouts remain unknown.

In this episode, we revisit the events leading up to his disappearance, the investigation and the unanswered questions that have haunted his family for over a decade.

I also want to apologise for the delay in uploading this week’s episode. I’ve been away on holiday, but I’m back now and looking forward to getting into a consistent upload routine again. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support. ❤️

If you have any information about Allan’s disappearance, no matter how small, please contact Police Scotland on 101.

Allan’s family deserve answers, and his story deserves to keep being heard.

A little podcast update! 🎙️🖤

Firstly, apologies for the lack of uploads last week! I was away on holiday, but I’m back now and ready to get into a proper routine again🖤

I’ve also decided to move away from video-style episodes on YouTube and focus on audio-only uploads across Spotify and YouTube. The editing process for video episodes is incredibly time-consuming, and I’d much rather focus on bringing you consistent episodes and telling these stories properly.

I’ve also invested in a new microphone, so apologies in advance if the audio in today’s episode isn’t quite perfect! It was filmed on my camera and with the cameras mic which isn’t the greatest however my new one is amazing and the audio should be crystal clear going forward.

Lastly, I’m looking for a graphic designer to give the True Crime with Emma logo a little refresh. If you’re a designer or know someone who could help, please get in touch via my email. 🖤

Thank you all so much for listening and supporting the podcast. It genuinely means the world! ❤️

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma 🖤. Today I am going look at the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse.

On 24 January 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer vanished from her condominium in Orlando, Florida. She had seemingly been getting ready for another ordinary day, but when she failed to arrive at work, her family quickly realised something was terribly wrong.

Two days later, Jennifer’s black Chevrolet Malibu was discovered parked at a nearby apartment complex. CCTV footage showed an unidentified person leaving the vehicle and walking away, but frustratingly, a fence post obscured their face — leaving investigators with one of the most recognisable and frustrating pieces of footage in the case.

Despite years of searches, investigations and renewed efforts, Jennifer has never been found. In 2022, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement took over the investigation, and in January 2026, confirmed that enquiries were still actively ongoing.

So what happened to Jennifer Kesse, and who was the person captured on CCTV?

Thank you for listening to True Crime with Emma 🖤. If you have any information about Jennifer’s disappearance, please contact the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Jennifer deserves to come home.

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma.

In this episode, we’re heading back to Glasgow in the late 1960s to explore one of Scotland’s most infamous unsolved murder cases: the story of Bible John.

Between 1968 and 1969, three young women — Patricia Docker, Jemima McDonald and Helen Puttock — were murdered after nights out at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom. Their deaths would spark an extensive police investigation and a search for a man who became known as Bible John.

The name came from accounts that the man spoke about religion and quoted the Bible during conversations with one of his victims. Despite witness descriptions, an enormous investigation and decades of speculation, his identity has never been conclusively established.

We’ll be looking at the lives of the three women, the circumstances surrounding their murders, the investigation that followed and the theories that have emerged over the years.

More than 50 years later, the identity of Bible John remains one of Scotland’s most haunting unanswered questions.

A little reminder: This podcast discusses real cases involving murder, violence and the loss of life. Please listen with care, and remember that behind every case are real people, families and loved ones whose lives have been changed forever.

Missing Monday: The Disappearance of Moira Anderson 🖤

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and the suspected abduction and murder of a child. Listener discretion is advised.

Hi guys! Welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Emma 🖤 This week, for Missing Monday, we’re looking at the heartbreaking disappearance of 11-year-old Moira Anderson, who vanished from Coatbridge, Scotland, during a severe snowstorm on 23 February 1957.

Moira had been visiting her grandmother when she was sent on a short errand to a local Co-op. She was expected to return home, but she never made it back. Despite searches and decades of investigation, Moira’s body has never been found, leaving her family without the answers they have desperately sought for generations.

Years later, disturbing allegations emerged surrounding bus driver Alexander Gartshore, and the case developed into a suspected murder investigation. In 2014, prosecutors stated that Gartshore would have faced prosecution for Moira’s murder had he still been alive. Yet, despite further searches and renewed public interest, the mystery of what happened to Moira remains unresolved.

In this episode, we explore Moira’s life, the events leading up to her disappearance, the investigation, and the decades-long fight for answers — including the more recent developments that have brought renewed attention to her case.

Moira was so much more than a missing person. She was a young girl whose life was cut tragically short, and whose family have never stopped searching for the truth.

If you have any information that could help with Moira’s case, please contact Police Scotland.

Thank you for listening and for helping to keep Moira’s story alive. 🖤

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma 🖤

In this episode, we look at the heartbreaking case of Sarah Payne, an eight-year-old girl who disappeared in July 2000 while playing near her grandparents’ home in West Sussex, England.

What began as a family’s desperate search for a little girl ended in tragedy. We explore who Sarah was, the events surrounding her disappearance, the investigation that followed, and the devastating discovery that shocked the nation. We also discuss the conviction of Roy Whiting and the lasting impact Sarah’s case had on child protection in the UK.

Sarah’s story helped bring about the campaign for Sarah’s Law, which led to the introduction of a scheme allowing parents, carers and guardians to ask police whether someone who has access to a child may pose a risk to them.

In this episode of Missing Monday, we look at the heartbreaking disappearance of Yéremi Vargas, a seven-year-old boy who vanished from Vecindario, Gran Canaria, on 10 March 2007.

What began as an ordinary afternoon playing outside quickly became every family’s worst nightmare when Yéremi disappeared without a trace. Despite extensive searches and years of investigation, his whereabouts remain unknown, leaving his family without the answers they have desperately needed for almost two decades.

We explore Yéremi’s life, the events leading up to his disappearance, the search that followed, and the leads and developments that have emerged over the years. We also look at the questions that continue to surround this case and the ongoing hope that someone, somewhere, may hold the information needed to finally uncover what happened to him.

Yéremi’s case remains a heartbreaking reminder that missing children and their families must never be forgotten. 🖤
