Convicted on Bite Mark Evidence: The Charles McCrory Case Trailer

In 1985, Charles McCrory found his wife, Julie Bonds, brutally murdered in their Andalusia, Alabama, home. Just two small marks on her arm—misrepresented in court as a definitive “bite mark”—became the sole forensic evidence used to convict him for her murder. A forensic odontologist, famed for testifying at Ted Bundy’s trial, claimed the impressions matched McCrory’s like a fingerprint. Yet decades later, that same expert fully recanted the testimony, acknowledging the scientific consensus now recognises bite mark evidence as unreliable “junk science”. With no blood, no DNA, and hair in the victim’s hand that didn’t match McCrory’s, his conviction rested entirely on this flawed forensic interpretation. Over 40 years later, even as two independent forensic dentists testified that the so called bite mark was never human, Alabama courts repeatedly denied him a new trial, judging that his lengthy imprisonment still stood, and that procedural hurdles outweighed modern science In July 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review his case. Justice Sotomayor warned that wrongful convictions like his, based on “faulty science,” are startlingly common and urged state and federal lawmakers to enact stronger safeguards to prevent miscarriages of justice.

"I don't like Mondays" Inside the Mind of Brenda Ann Spencer

On a quiet Monday morning in January 1979, the peace outside Grover Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego was shattered by gunfire. Sixteen-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, armed with a .22-calibre rifle her father had given her for Christmas, opened fire from the window of her home—just across the street from the school gates. In a shooting that stunned the nation, Spencer killed the principal and a custodian as they tried to protect children, and wounded eight students and a police officer. When asked why she did it, her response would become one of the most haunting quotes in American criminal history: “I don’t like Mondays. This livens up the day.” In this episode we explore the disturbing life of Brenda Ann Spencer. From her neglected and troubled upbringing to the many red flags ignored by adults and authorities, we uncover the events that led up to that horrific day. We follow the chaos of the shooting, the chilling phone call to a journalist, and the police standoff that followed. We then trace her path through the justice system, where she was tried as an adult, and examine her life behind bars, parole hearings, and the claims of abuse that emerged years later. This is not just the story of a school shooting. It’s the story of a system that failed to see what was coming—and the lives that changed forever because of it.

The Enfield Poltergeist

A council house in North London. A single mother. Two frightened children. And a haunting that exploded into one of the most documented paranormal cases in modern history. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit the Enfield Poltergeist with a calm, immersive retelling of the key events: the knocks and violent disturbances, the chilling “Bill” voice, the alleged levitations, and the investigators who believed they were witnessing something extraordinary. But Enfield is also a case defined by contradiction. Eyewitness accounts, recordings, and media frenzy collided with claims of exaggeration and trickery. The result is a story that still divides believers and sceptics almost fifty years later. Whether you think it was genuine, misunderstood, or something in between, Enfield remains a rare case where the mystery is the legacy.

A life or death decision P6 - John Merritt

John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by run-ins with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences. He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system. One day everything took an even darker turn while he was serving a sentence for burglary. A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, setting him on an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime, he says, he didn't commit. Ultimately John would have to make a decision, a life of incarceration or the electric chair. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!

The Ariel School UFO Encounter: When 62 Children Saw Something Unbelievable

In September 1994, at a small private school in rural Zimbabwe, 62 children ran into their classrooms—terrified. What they described to teachers and later to UFO investigators would go on to become one of the most compelling mass UFO sightings in modern history. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we revisit the Ariel School encounter: the strange beings, the eerie messages, and the decades-long question that still lingers—did something truly land that day near the school playground, or was it all a shared hallucination? Using archived interviews, psychological analysis, and eyewitness testimony, we unravel a mystery that has never been fully explained.

The Vanishing Sailor: Donald Crowhurst and the Golden Globe Race Mystery

In 1968, an amateur sailor named Donald Crowhurst set out from England in a homemade trimaran to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race—the first ever solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the globe. But what began as a bold quest for fame and fortune soon turned into one of the most baffling mysteries in maritime history. With an untested boat, limited experience, and mounting financial pressure, Crowhurst quickly found himself in trouble. Rather than turn back and face ruin, he began faking his journey, submitting false radio reports and logbooks from the middle of the Atlantic. As other competitors dropped out, Crowhurst’s deception pushed him closer to the spotlight—and to the edge of his sanity. Nine months later, his boat, Teignmouth Electron, was found adrift in the Atlantic. The sails were intact. Supplies were untouched. But Donald Crowhurst was gone. What investigators found in his recovered logbooks shocked the world—philosophical ramblings, dual logs, and evidence of a mind in collapse. Was it madness? Guilt? A cosmic revelation? Or all three? This is the true story of a man who vanished into the ocean and into legend. A tale of ambition, pressure, isolation—and the deep, unknowable silence of the sea.
