    46 | George Smith: The Brides In the Bath Murders

    It was inevitable that George Joseph Smith would end up in jail one day. The only question was, how long would it take for his cunning crimes to be uncovered? George was a master of deception who swindled a string of lovers out of their life savings and ensured he was named as the beneficiary in the wills of his many wives. He had a curious obsession with the sea, and it was only fitting that his method of murder would also feature water… Thanks for listening!

    When Shelly Walsh dropped her kids off at her dad’s on the evening of 30th June 2008, she had no idea it would be the last time she would ever see her son, daughter, and mother alive.

    What happened to 14-year-old Thora Chamberlain, who was abducted on the way to watch a school football game one Friday afternoon?

    43 | Malcolm Fairley: The Crimes of The Fox

    In 1984, a serial burglar and rapist was at large in England, his crimes spanning several Home Counties as well as the northeast of the country. He was armed, masked and dangerous, and he had an unusual calling card – in every house he broke into, he built himself a blanket fort in the living room and made himself at home, watching television and drinking cups of tea. His habit of den-building and the way he slunk off into the countryside after his assaults soon led to him being given the nickname ‘The Fox’. People were fearful, and the police had a tough job on their hands as his attacks crossed multiple jurisdictions. They were learning more about him each time he struck, but they needed to catch him fast before his violence escalated. Who was The Fox, and how would they find him? Update 29th May 2024 72 year old Malcolm Fairley A.K.A The Fox died at HMP Hull yesterday (Tuesday 28th May)  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1dde87035po Note: Thank you to those of you who have correctly pointed out that Malcolm Fairley should not be referred to as a "Geordie", as he was from Sunderland, which makes him colloquially known as a "Mackem". This is a common error and derived from the Brampton victim stating on 18 August 1984 that they recognized his accent as being from "somewhere in the northeast" and erroneously referring to him as a Geordie. I quoted it from there without fully understanding the differences. Apologies for the inaccuracy. Thanks for listening!

    42 | Penny Dreadfuls: 3 True Crime Cases

    In this episode, I’m bringing you a collection of short but grisly cases from the 1800s, which on their own would be too short for an episode, but they’re too intriguing not to share so I’ve put three of them together. Let’s go back in time for a whistle-stop tour of three crimes ranging from the brutal to the mysterious. If you’re looking for murders involving deceptions, an unscrupulous businessman who exterminated an entire family, an execution by guillotine, a strange letter, the death of a living scarecrow and more, this ‘Penny Dreadfuls’ episode has you covered with these bitesize blood-soaked crimes.

    When a pair of legs washed up in Clifford Pier Harbour in Singapore, the police knew something was very wrong. That same week, a South African tourist who had travelled to the country to buy the latest electronics was reported missing. He would never make it home. Somehow, in a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world and a draconian criminal justice system, he fell prey to British serial killer John Scripps, who travelled the world murdering unsuspecting tourists and butchering their bodies. Who was Scripps, and how did the police track him down? Thanks for listening!

    40 | The Mysterious Axeman of New Orleans

    What kind of killer could chisel out the panel of a door and creep inside without waking a soul? How was he so light on his feet that nobody heard him coming on the dark, moonless nights on which he struck? That’s what the people of New Orleans were asking themselves when their city was terrorised by a mysterious Axeman who targeted Italian grocers, leaving nothing behind but blood, fear, and a discarded weapon - and taking nothing with him except the secret of his identity. He came and went like a phantom, spreading a wave of brutality through the City of Festivals that would not easily be forgotten. Who was the Axeman of New Orleans?
