Champagne and Murder, Please

Brittany

Welcome to Champagne and Murder Please, the podcast where the eerie, the unexplained, and the downright terrifying come to life. Each episode, we dive into true crime cases, from infamous murders to unsolved mysteries, explore the dark history of witches and occult practices, and venture into the world of the paranormal—where ghosts, hauntings, and curses lurk in the shadows. Plus, we investigate cryptids like Bigfoot, the Mothman, and other legendary creatures that blur the line between myth and reality. If you love all things spooky, sinister, and strange, you’ve found your new obsession.

    Ghosts, Girls, and Ireland’s Darkest Corners

    A haunted Irish hillside. A ghost with a story that refuses to stay buried. And a stretch of Ireland where women seemed to vanish into thin air. This week we start with the eerie legend of Petticoat Loose, where folklore, fear, and a tragic past still cling to the landscape like fog rolling over the hills. Then we step into something far darker. The Vanishing Triangle, a chilling cluster of disappearances that left families searching, investigators scrambling, and a nation asking one question that still hangs in the air. Coincidence? Cover ups? Something more sinister? Pour the champagne. Things are about to get strange. 🥂 Duchas.ie – The National Folklore Collection (Schools’ Collection and manuscript archives)https://www.duchas.ie The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublinhttps://www.ucd.ie/folklore/en/ The Placenames Database of Ireland (logainm.ie)https://www.logainm.ie Clare County Library – Folklore & Local Studies Archivehttps://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/folklore/folklore.htm Loop Head Tourism & Local History Resourceshttps://www.loophead.ie Penal Laws historical overview – Library Irelandhttps://www.libraryireland.com/HistoryIreland/Penal-Laws.php Irish bog bodies and archaeological context – National Museum of Irelandhttps://www.museum.ie/en-IE/Museums/Archaeology/Exhibitions/Kingship-and-Sacrifice Witchcraft belief in Ireland – History Ireland journalhttps://www.historyireland.com/early-modern-history-1500-1700/witchcraft-in-ireland/ Irish Folklore Commission backgroundhttps://www.ucd.ie/folklore/en/about/ https://www.irishtimes.comhttps://www.rte.iehttps://www.independent.iehttps://www.thejournal.iehttps://www.garda.iehttps://www.irishmirror.iehttps://www.irishcentral.comhttps://www.oireachtas.iehttps://www.irishexaminer.com

    Backpacks & Breadcrumbs: When Adventure Turned Fatal

    This week on Champagne and Murder, Please, we hold space for three young women whose lives should have stretched far beyond the headlines. We begin in Auckland with Grace Millane, a bright, ambitious traveler celebrating her 22nd birthday on a solo trip around the world. One Tinder date. One night. And a courtroom battle that would ignite global conversations about consent, victim-blaming, and the stories we tell about women after they’re gone. Then we travel to the wide-open landscapes of Argentina, where best friends Marina Menegazzo and María José Coni set off on a backpacking adventure through Ecuador. Their trip was filled with photos, plans, and promise until their final days unraveled into betrayal and violence that shocked two nations. Three women. Three futures stolen. And three stories that deserve to be told with care, clarity, and just enough righteous fire to remember who the real villains were. Pour a glass. We’re remembering them properly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Grace_Millane https://www.itv.com/news/2019-11-24/no-compensation-for-grace-millanes-family https://news.sky.com/story/grace-millane-murder-trial-jury-retires-to-consider-verdict-11866830https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caso_Mar%C3%ADa_Jos%C3%A9_Coni_e_Marina_Menegazzo https://miafm.cienradios.com/ecuador-encontraron-a-los-supuestos-asesinos-de-las-turistas-mendocinas/ https://www.ecuadortimes.net/before-the-crime-marina-menegazzo-and-maria-jose-coni-were-drugged-examination-reveals/

    The Curse of the Marche du Nain Rouge

    In this week’s episode, we swirl our champagne and step straight into the smoke of old Detroit, where legend says a crimson little creature foretells chaos. We’re diving into the history, folklore, and fever dreams behind the infamous Marche du Nain Rouge in Detroit. Who is the Nain Rouge? A misunderstood trickster? A colonial curse? A tiny harbinger with impeccable timing and terrible vibes? From its first alleged sighting by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in the early 1700s to the city’s modern-day parade that theatrically banishes him each year, we unpack the myth, the history, and the way a city turned its bad luck into a party. It’s folklore, it’s fire, it’s civic therapy with a splash of sass. Grab a glass and let’s chase the red devil out of town.

    Their Names Still Matter: Fan Man-Yee & Oklahoma’s Lost Girls

    On this episode, we honor lives taken far too soon. First, we tell the story of Fan Man-Yee, a bright young woman whose disappearance and murder shook her community and left a family searching for answers that never fully came. Then, we turn to one of the most heartbreaking cases in American history: the Girl Scout Murders at Camp Scott in Oklahoma, where three young girls lost their lives during what should have been a summer of laughter, friendship, and s’mores. This isn’t about sensational headlines. This is about remembering who they were. About the families who never stopped loving them. And about making sure their names are never forgotten. Because true crime should never forget the humans at the center of the story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Kitty_murder_case https://people.com/hell-kitty-murder-hong-kong-11831537 https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/3011932/hong-kong-hello-kitty-murder-meth-paranoia-or-product-violent-decade-and https://filmdaily.co/news/hello-kitty-murder/ https://www.dimsumdaily.hk/dental-forensic-doctor-who-handled-hello-kitty-murder-case-says-teeth-can-still-be-used-to-verify-the-identity-of-the-murdered-victim-abby-choi-even-after-cooking/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_Girl_Scout_murdershttps://www.crimemuseum.org/crime-library/kidnappings/oklahoma-girl-scout-murders/https://www.oklahomadaily.news/oklahoma-girl-scout-murders-faqs/https://www.thecoldcases.com/p/a-timeline-of-the-oklahoma-girl-scouthttps://www.kjrh.com/news/40-years-later-the-girl-scout-murdershttps://www.killerqueenspodcast.com/oklahoma-girl-scout-murders/https://discover.hubpages.com/true-crime/1977-Girl-Scouts-Murders-Police-Hope-DNA-Will-Identify-Killer

    Lipstick, Legends, and Loaded Guns

    This week, we’re telling two stories about women who refused to stay in their lanes and terrified society in very different ways. First up: Sharon Kinne. Blonde. Beautiful. Seemingly untouchable. Behind the polished smile was a trail of bullets, dead husbands, and a courtroom saga so wild it feels fictional… except it wasn’t. From suburban Kansas City to an international escape, Sharon’s story is one of manipulation, charm, and a justice system that blinked at exactly the wrong moments. Then, we ride straight into legend with Calamity Jane. Frontierswoman. Scout. Drunk, brave, grieving, and endlessly misunderstood. Was she a fearless truth-teller or her own best myth-maker? We strip back the dime-novel nonsense to find the real woman beneath the buckskins, the loneliness behind the bravado, and the reason her name still echoes through the Wild West. One woman killed to protect her image.One woman became an image to survive. Two stories. Two reputations. And a reminder that history has never known what to do with women who refuse to behave. Pour something strong. This one rides hard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_Kinne https://kcpolice.org/media/news-releases/kcpd-jackson-county-sheriff-s-office-solve-fugitive-serial-killer-case/ https://www.kcur.org/news/2025-01-31/independence-woman-sharon-kinne-accused-serial-killer-dead-missing-54-years https://rdnewsnow.com/2025/01/31/serial-killer-wanted-in-u-s-and-mexico-lived-in-taber-for-49-years/ https://apnews.com/article/f100887093f0794b8b50db3989acc28b  britannica.com/biography/Calamity-Jane-American-frontierswoman nationalgeographic.com/history/article/calamity-jane-legend-reality wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamity_Jane deadwood.com/history/infamous-deadwood/calamity-jane historynet.com/the-calamities-of-calamity-jane cowboystatedaily.com/2024/11/14/the-american-west-calamity-jane-wild-woman-of-the-west

    Love, Lies, and Locked Doors

    This week’s episode is a double feature in red flags that everyone saw… and no one stopped.We start with the Powell family case, a slow-burn nightmare filled with control, paranoia, and systems that missed every chance to intervene before tragedy struck.Then we turn to Jodi Arias, a case where obsession, image-crafting, and manipulation collided in a way that still leaves people arguing years later.Two cases that prove “it’s complicated” is sometimes the most dangerous phrase in the room. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/february-5/husband-of-missing-utah-woman-kills-self-and-two-young-sons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Susan_Powell https://www.cbsnews.com/news/susan-powells-blood-letter-detailing-her-fear-of-husband-found-at-family-utah-home/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/wa-court-reinstates-nearly-100m-verdict-against-state-in-death-of-2-boys/ https://dcyf.wa.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/reports/CFR3qtr2012.pdf https://www.deseret.com/2012/8/2/20505065/report-washington-social-workers-needed-more-powell-information-from-west-valley-police https://www.courts.wa.gov/content/publicupload/eclips/2023%2004%2020%20WA%20court%20reinstates%20nearly.pdf https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/jury-finds-washington-state-liable-in-powell-boys-deaths-awards-98m/ https://www.seattlepi.com/seattlenews/article/social-worker-on-josh-powell-he-exploded-the-3131867.php https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Travis_Alexander https://www.biography.com/crime-figure/jodi-arias https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jodi-arias-a-timeline-of-a-sensational-murder-case/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/jodi-arias-trial-timeline-events-arizona-murder-case/story?id=18123295 https://murderpedia.org/female.A/a/arias-jodi.htm https://www.investigationdiscovery.com/crimefeed/crime-history/5-essential-things-to-know-about-the-jodi-arias-case https://www.abdallah-law.com/blog/how-jodi-arias-was-charged-with-the-murder-of-travis-alexander-and-avoided-the-death-penalty/ https://www.azfamily.com/2026/01/05/jodi-arias-addresses-murder-case-claims-lost-evidence-first-time-years/ https://www.foxnews.com/us/convicted-killer-jodi-arias-signals-fresh-legal-push-more-than-decade-after-guilty-verdict https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodi_Arias:_Dirty_Little_Secret

    The Day They Didn’t Come Back

    Two people. Two countries. Two moments in time where everything simply… stops. Sneha Philip disappears in New York City on September 10th, 2001. Her case becomes forever entangled with the shadow of 9/11, blurring the line between tragedy, possibility, and unanswered questions. Was she lost in the chaos, or did she vanish before the world changed forever? Years later in England, 14-year-old Andrew Gosden skips school, boards a one-way train to London, and is never seen again. No note. No backpack. No confirmed sightings. Just a quiet exit that has haunted his family and investigators for nearly two decades. This episode explores two separate disappearances bound by silence, speculation, and the unsettling truth that some people don’t leave behind clues. They leave behind echoes. What happened to Sneha Philip?And where did Andrew Gosden go? Sometimes the most disturbing mysteries aren’t about what we know. They’re about what we never will. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Sneha_Anne_Philiphttps://charleyproject.org/case/sneha-ann-philiphttps://voicescenter.org/living-memorial/victim/dr-sneha-anne-philiphttps://www.rediff.com/news/report/roll/20080807.htmhttps://www.rediff.com/news/special/snehas-room-has-been-kept-the-same-way-for-the-past-15-years/20160911.htmhttps://truenoirstories.wordpress.com/2016/10/19/sneha-philip/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-trace-evidence-29076624/episode/028-the-disappearance-of-sneha-48069733/https://thartribune.com/what-the-security-footage-shows-in-the-disappearance-of-dr-sneha-anne-philip/https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/sneha-philip-mystery-disappeared-9-11-b1917381.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Andrew_Gosden Wikipedia https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2022-07-10/the-huge-hole-felt-by-family-of-boy-still-missing-after-15-years ITVX https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2025-09-08/appeal-for-teenager-andrew-gosden-who-went-missing-from-doncaster-18-years-ago ITVX https://news.sky.com/story/andrew-gosden-disappearance-two-men-arrested-on-suspicion-of-kidnap-and-human-trafficking-after-boy-14-went-missing-in-2007-12513719 Sky News https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-09-20/men-arrested-over-andrew-gosden-disappearance-eliminated-from-inquiry ITVX https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/crime/andrew-gosden-police-send-out-update-on-doncaster-missing-boy-after-false-information-is-spread-5307929 The Star https://news.sky.com/story/andrew-gosden-new-age-progression-image-of-boy-who-went-missing-in-2007-aged-14-11847662 Sky News https://www.the-independent.com/news/uk/home-news/missing-people-charity-safecall-campaign-andrew-gosden-b2878228.html The Independent
