    Marion's 20 Year Wait

    A young girl cycling to a music rehearsal. One day, you have to let a child take that step into adulthood, and back in the summer of 1981, Hampshire schoolgirl Marion Crofts parents Trevor and Anne had done just that - they had even agreed on the safest route for her to make the 5 mile journey. Except - that route was anything but safe for Marion. It marked the beginning of a two decade wait for justice for Marion - and her family - and the identification of a predator who may have even have gone on to do much more.... The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, and with references to injury detail that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

    The Lure Of The Loch

    It's arguably the UK's most famous, and certainly one of the world's most famous lakes, where for more than 1600 years, legends have abounded of a creature inhabiting the depths of Loch Ness that is affectionately known as Nessie, who has tantalisingly played a game of hide and seek with scientists and hunters ever since. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in a break from the norm, I bring you the story of the Loch, the various points of note connected with it, and of course, it's world famous inhabitant, and how Nessie has for many years been surrounded with hoax upon hoax: And a LOT of fraud.

    From The Archives - Strange Deaths

    Death can be a very strange thing indeed - from death by doughnut to the bus driver who couldn't tell an antelope from a human being, via ghastly tales of the occult, cannibalism and extreme reasons for murder - from The Cosby Show to using too much toilet roll - for this time around on the Enthusiast, I have curated a good hour plus worth of accounts of these from around this strange globe of ours. You'll never look at a block of Parmesan cheese the same again...

    The Defiler - Part 3: A Monster On Trial

    Concluding Series 11's opening tale, and in November 2021, David Fuller stood in the dock of Maidstone Crown Court to face trial for the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce back in 1987, the Tunbridge Wells 'Bedsit' murders, as well as charges relating to the harrowing, disturbing offences that he had catalogued himself committing against the bodies of women and children in the mortuaries of two hospitals he had worked at - at least over a 15 year period. How would Fuller plead? And what would develop, questions and actions, from the emergence of one of, perhaps THE most depraved and prolific offenders in British criminal history? The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, and with references to practices that some listeners may find extremely disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

    The Defiler - Part 2: A Monster Unmasked

    Continuing the opening story of Series 11, and by 2007, the then 20 year cold cases of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce, the Tunbridge Wells 'Bedsit' murders, had been definitively linked by DNA as being the work of the same killer. But - he wasn't on the National DNA database. Skip forward 13 years, and by then, with the advancements in Familial DNA, it was to lead investigators to a very strong person of interest, and in December 2020, an early morning knock on the door at a home in a quiet cul de sac in Heathfield, East Sussex - which, when opened, shone a spotlight on one of the most disturbing, prolific offenders the UK has ever seen. Perhaps THE most.

    The Defiler - Part 1: The Beast Of The Bedsit

    It is great to be back for a brand new series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and I begin Series 11 with at first, a case that I covered before the podcast was even a podcast, when it was a simple blog. Back in 1987, the Kent town of Tunbridge Wells was gripped by fear, with the murders of two young women, five months apart. They were crimes that for many years remained cold cases, until forensic technology had advanced such that, by 2020, that perpetrator was just within the grasp of investigating officers, and it led to a knock on a door early one December morning. Except that, no officer involved in the investigation could ever imagine, and probably still struggles to believe, the sheer amount of horror that opening that door would bring....

    Judge, Jury - And Executioner

    The feature-length Series 10 finale of The True Crime Enthusiast brings with it an almost surreal tale of abuse, murder, dismemberment, imprisonment, appeal, acquittal, mental illness, misguided revenge - and something called Project Tango. It was a tale that shook the county of East Sussex when it happened at the turn of this century - one that was to have repercussions several years later. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of sexual abuse and self harm, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
