011: Fritz Haarmann 'The Butcher of Hanover' Part 2
Welcome to our first two part episode. After researching this case, we decided we needed to spread this over two episodes due to the shear amount of detail and murders by this man in the early 1900's. Listen to part 1 before listening to this episode.
Fritz Haarmann murdered at least 24 young men and boys over the course of six years between 1918-1924. He raped, murdered and dismembered each victim before dumping their bodies mainly in the Leine River, Hanover, Germany. He is arguably one of Germany's worst serial murderers. Join us as we look over his life and the subsequent murders that follow.

009: Michael Silka
Michael Silka was a 25 year old US Army veteran from Illinois who dreamed of living in the wilderness of Alaska. In May 1984, he finally arrived in Alaska at the tiny village of Manley Hot Springs. His visit there ended in a spree killing and a shoot out with Alaska's State Troopers, ending his life and the life of a trooper. This week's is shorter than usual but it's only a small case with limited information. We hope you enjoy!

008: Helen McCourt
In February, 1988, 22 year old Helen McCourt from Billinge, Merseyside went missing on her way home from work and was never seen again. It was quickly discovered that local landlord, Ian Simms was the culprit but the police force had the difficult task of proving that Helen was dead AND that Ian Simms had killed her. Using the new technique at the time of familial DNA, they were able to gather enough evidence to convict Simms. Helen's mother, Marie McCourt still fights for the rights of missing-murdered victims families to be able to have a funeral with the nationally known, Helen's Law.
Thank you to Rebecca on our Facebook group for the recommendation!
