No One Was Coming P1

In the summer of 2003, in the small Virginia town of Craigsville, an 18 year old boy shot and killed the man the town knew as a former rescue squad captain and a pillar of the community. Christopher Bennett never denied it. He confessed, took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, and was handed three consecutive life sentences totalling 1,800 years. But behind that front door, Chris and his siblings say, was a man the town never saw. Years of abuse. Children told to pray for help that never came. And a report of what was happening to his little sisters, made just one day before the shooting. Over this series, Jack chats with Chris from inside Buckingham Correctional Center about his childhood, that night, the sentence designed to outlive him, and a family still fighting to bring him home. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This series contains discussion of child sexual abuse, physical abuse and domestic violence.

The Solway Firth Spaceman: The 1964 Photograph No One Can Explain

The Solway Firth Spaceman is one of the most famous unexplained photographs in British history, and after more than sixty years, people are still arguing about what it shows. On the afternoon of the 23rd of May 1964, a Carlisle firefighter named Jim Templeton took three photographs of his five-year-old daughter Elizabeth on Burgh Marsh, overlooking the Solway Firth in Cumberland, England. It was an ordinary family day out on an ordinary spring afternoon. But when the film came back from Kodak, the middle photograph showed something that should not have been there: a tall figure in what looked like a white spacesuit, standing silently in the empty marsh behind the little girl. Templeton swore no one had been there when he took the picture. The police examined it and found nothing suspicious. Kodak confirmed the negative had not been faked or tampered with. Within days, the photograph was in newspapers around the world. Then two strange men in dark suits arrived at Templeton's fire station, refused to give their names, and demanded he take them to the marsh. And on the far side of the world, at a rocket testing range in Australia, a launch was said to have been aborted after two similar figures were seen on the firing range. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we tell the full story of the Solway Firth Spaceman: the photograph, the family, the Men in Black, the Blue Streak missile connection, and the surprisingly persuasive explanation, offered nearly fifty years later, that may finally have solved it, or may only have deepened the mystery. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the figure on the marsh. You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.

Dusty Turner: Back Inside, and Out Again

I first sat down with Dusty when he was still inside a Virginia prison, more than three decades into an 82 year sentence for the 1995 murder of Jennifer Evans in Virginia Beach. It's a crime he has always said he did not commit, and one his Navy SEAL swim buddy, Billy Joe Brown, later confessed to carrying out alone. Since that first interview, we've followed every twist. The historic 3 to 2 parole board vote in January. The morning of 5 March 2026, when Dusty finally walked out of Greensville Correctional Center after 30 years and seven months inside. And then, just seven weeks later, the news none of us were expecting: on 21 April, Virginia State Police arrested Dusty and booked him back into Middle River Regional Jail on an alleged parole violation, with his attorney saying the issue came down to two relationships he had not formally disclosed to his parole officer. In this episode, I speak with Dusty from behind bars about what actually happened, how it felt to lose his freedom again so soon after gaining it, and what his legal team was doing to get him out. Then, after the Virginia Parole Board issued a notice on 14 May ordering his release, I catch up with him once more on the outside to find out where things stand now, what the past few weeks have done to him, and what comes next in a fight that, even after 31 years, is still not finished.

What I Survived explores the extraordinary true stories of people who survived the unthinkable. Each story takes you back to who these people were before everything changed, then inside the moment their lives were pushed to the edge, shipwrecked at sea for weeks, held captive by terrorists, falling 15,000 feet from a plane after a parachute failure, and other extreme, life-or-death situations. Through first-hand accounts, we follow the ordeal as it happened, the decisions made under unimaginable pressure, and the will it took to survive.
