    Episode 41 - A Killer Story

    This week, JB and Chris dive into HBO’s A Killer Story, a bizarre true-crime tale packed with obsession, amateur sleuthing, family secrets, suspicious characters and a case where seemingly everyone has their own theory about what really happened. We break down the documentary, the investigation, the evidence, the people at the centre of the case, and ask the big question: did they actually get the right person? Expect questionable police work, wild theories, plenty of armchair detective work from the boys, and the usual True Crime Tradies verdict. 🎧 Watch the documentary first if you want to avoid spoilers — because we’re pulling this one apart from start to finish. True Crime Tradies — two tradies, one true crime documentary, absolutely no qualifications.

    Episode 39 - Biggest Heist Ever

    This week, JB and Chris dive into Netflix’s Biggest Heist Ever, the unbelievable story of Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan — a couple whose bizarre online personas hid a connection to billions of dollars in stolen Bitcoin. After hackers stole nearly 120,000 Bitcoin from Bitfinex, investigators spent years following a digital trail that eventually led somewhere nobody expected. What followed involved crypto laundering, fake identities, burner accounts, international travel, buried digital evidence… and some of the most painfully cringe rap videos ever uploaded to the internet. We break down the documentary, the heist, how authorities eventually followed the money, the unanswered questions surrounding the case — and, naturally, discuss whether two tradies with absolutely no experience in international cybercrime could have done a better job. True crime. Billions in Bitcoin. Terrible rap. Questionable decisions.

    Episode 38 - Amy Bradley is Missing

    In 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley boarded a Caribbean cruise with her family. Just days later, she vanished from the ship without a trace. Netflix’s Amy Bradley Is Missing revisits one of the most baffling missing-person cases of the past three decades. What began as a family holiday quickly became an international mystery, with conflicting witness accounts, reported sightings across the Caribbean, disturbing photographs, and theories that Amy may have made it off the ship alive. In this episode of True Crime Tradies, JB and Chris break down the documentary, examine the evidence and theories surrounding Amy’s disappearance, and ask the question that has haunted her family for nearly 30 years: what really happened to Amy Bradley? Expect the usual TCT treatment — serious case, questionable commentary, and two tradies who are wildly underqualified to solve an international mystery.

    Episode 37 - Death of The Pastor's Wife

    This week, JB and Chris dive into Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife — tracing Mica's relationship with JP from its controversial beginnings inside the church, through the breakdown of their marriage and the increasingly troubling events leading up to April 27, 2024. We break down the documentary, JP's behaviour, Mica's attempts to leave, the investigation into her death, and the questions her family continued to raise after the official ruling. And because this is True Crime Tradies, somewhere amongst an incredibly dark story we'll inevitably find time to discuss questionable sermons, bizarre behaviour and a pastor who gives us plenty to talk about. 🎧 True Crime Tradies — true crime, two tradies, absolutely no qualifications. This episode discusses suicide, alleged domestic abuse and coercive control.

    Episode 36 - The Fox Hollow Murders

    In this episode of True Crime Tradies, JB and Chris dive into The Fox Hollow Murders: Playground of a Serial Killer, the chilling documentary series examining suspected serial killer Herb Baumeister and the horrifying discoveries made on his Indiana property. What began with disturbing suspicions would eventually lead investigators to Fox Hollow Farm, where thousands of human bone fragments were discovered scattered across the grounds. Decades later, investigators are still working to identify victims and uncover the true scale of Baumeister's crimes. We break down the documentary, the investigation, the unanswered questions, and some of the genuinely bizarre details surrounding one of America's most disturbing serial-killer cases. Grab your tools, crack a beer and join us as we head into Fox Hollow. 🎙️ True Crime Tradies — true crime, reviewed by a couple of blokes who probably shouldn't be reviewing true crime.

    Episode 35 - Last Stop Larrimah: Murder Down Under

    This week on True Crime Tradies, JB and Chris head deep into Australia’s Northern Territory for Last Stop Larrimah: Murder Down Under. Larrimah is the kind of place where everybody knows everybody — mainly because there are only about 10 people to know. But when 70-year-old Paddy Moriarty and his dog Kellie suddenly vanish without a trace, this tiny outback town becomes the centre of one of Australia’s strangest murder mysteries. With no body, no obvious crime scene and almost every resident seemingly having a problem with someone else, police are left trying to work out what happened to Paddy — and whether one of his neighbours knows a lot more than they're letting on. There are feuds over pies, pub rivalries, missing dogs, grudges that have been simmering for years and enough bizarre characters to make Larrimah feel less like a town and more like the world’s smallest reality show. JB and Chris break down the disappearance of Paddy Moriarty, the suspects, the theories and the absolute madness of life in a town where 10 residents can somehow produce 100 different motives. 🎧 True Crime Tradies — where true crime meets two blokes who probably shouldn’t be investigating anything.

    Episode 34 - Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart

    This week on True Crime Tradies, JB and Chris dive into the unbelievable true story of Elizabeth Smart. In 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth was taken at knifepoint from her bedroom in Salt Lake City while her younger sister lay just feet away. What followed was a nine-month nightmare, a nationwide search, missed opportunities, bizarre suspects and a case that gripped the world. We’re reviewing the documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart, breaking down the investigation, the warning signs that were missed, the disturbing beliefs of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee, and the incredible resilience Elizabeth showed throughout her ordeal and in the years since. As always, expect plenty of questions, opinions and the occasional completely inappropriate detour from two tradies who have absolutely no business investigating anything.

    Episode 33 - The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare

    Four college students. One off-campus house. A crime that stunned the world. This week, JB and Chris dive into Netflix's The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare, the chilling documentary examining the brutal 2022 murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. We break down the timeline of that terrifying night, the investigation that gripped the globe, the mountain of digital evidence that led detectives to Bryan Kohberger, and whether the documentary answers the biggest questions or leaves you with even more. As always, we'll share our thoughts on the documentary itself, discuss what it got right (and wrong), and throw in the usual Tradies banter along the way. Grab a beer, pull up a chair, and join us for another deep dive into the world's most shocking true crime documentaries. 🎧 New episodes every week.
