  3. Harold Shipman

    Harold Shipman

    Harold Shipman was a trusted family doctor in Greater Manchester, a man whose profession gave him access, authority and the confidence of the people around him. Behind that respectable image, however, was one of the darkest criminal cases in British history. In this episode, we look at how Shipman built a career in medicine, the warning signs that appeared long before he was caught, the suspicious deaths that slowly began to raise alarm, and the investigation that finally exposed him. We also examine the trial, the public inquiry, and the lasting changes his crimes forced on British medicine. It is a grim story of trust abused on a shocking scale, and of a system that failed far too many vulnerable people.  Visit our website: Compact Murder Find us on our social media sites: Facebook Instagram Pinterest Youtube #TrueCrimePodcast, #BritishCrime, #HaroldShipman, #MedicalMurder, #CrimeHistory

    The John List Family Murders

    In November 1971, a quiet suburban home in Westfield, New Jersey became the scene of one of America's most chilling family murder cases. John List, a respected accountant and churchgoer, calmly murdered his mother, wife, and three children before disappearing without a trace. For nearly two decades he lived under a new identity while investigators searched for the man who had seemingly vanished into thin air. The mystery deepened as authorities uncovered the careful planning behind the killings and the shocking normal life List had built elsewhere. His eventual capture in 1989 revealed how a mass murderer had hidden in plain sight for years. In this episode, we explore the disturbing psychology, meticulous planning, and extraordinary manhunt behind the John List Family Murders.

  7. The Moors Murders

    6 MARS

    The Moors Murders

    Between 1963 and 1965, a series of child murders shocked Britain and permanently altered its understanding of violent crime. Ian Brady and Myra Hindley abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered five children in Greater Manchester, burying several of their victims on Saddleworth Moor. The crimes relied on deception rather than force. Victims were approached in ordinary settings and trusted their attackers, often because Hindley appeared non-threatening. The murders remained hidden until 1965, when a witness came forward after seeing a killing firsthand. Subsequent police searches uncovered bodies, recordings, and evidence that revealed the full scale of the crimes. In this episode, we examine how the murders began, how they were concealed, how they were finally exposed, and why the Moors Murders remain one of the most disturbing cases in British criminal history.

  8. The Boston Strangler

    27 FÉVR.

    The Boston Strangler

    Between 1962 and 1964, a series of murders targeting women inside their own homes gripped Boston, Massachusetts, with fear. The victims ranged widely in age, but the crimes shared disturbing similarities: no forced entry, sexual assault, and death by strangulation. As panic spread, the press gave the unknown killer a name that would endure for decades, the Boston Strangler. In 1965, Albert DeSalvo confessed to the murders while already in custody for unrelated crimes. He was never tried for the killings themselves, and for years the case rested on confession rather than proof. In 2013, DNA testing, confirmed after DeSalvo's exhumation, linked him conclusively to the murder of Mary Sullivan, but left open the question of whether he was responsible for all the deaths attributed to the Strangler. In this episode, we examine the murders, the investigation under pressure, the confession that divided opinion, and why the Boston Strangler remains one of America's most debated serial murder cases.
