    17: Anna Delvey (Sorokin)

    Join Lauren and Bally this week as we discuss one of the most audacious fraud cases of the modern era: Anna Delvey. Posing as a wealthy German heiress, Anna Sorokin—better known as Anna Delvey—convinced New York’s elite that she was worth millions. From luxury hotels and exclusive parties to private jets and high-end restaurants, she lived a lavish lifestyle funded by deception, leaving friends, businesses, and banks out of pocket. But how did one woman manage to fool so many people for so long? We explore Anna’s rise through New York’s social scene, the scams that made international headlines, the people caught up in her lies, the trial that led to her conviction, and what has happened since. If you or someone you know has been the victim of fraud, support and advice are available through Action Fraud.

    15: Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?

    Join Lauren and Bally this week as we talk about one of Britain’s most enduring unsolved mysteries: Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? In 1943, four boys came across a hollow wych elm tree in Hagley Wood, Worcestershire, there they found the skeletal remains of a woman hidden inside. Months later, mysterious graffiti began appearing across the West Midlands asking the chilling question, “Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?” More than 80 years later, the question of who she was and who killed her remains unanswered. For this episode, we travelled to the Wychbury Obelisk, one of the locations where the infamous graffiti appeared, to explore one of the places at the heart of this haunting mystery. We discuss the discovery, the investigation, the theories, and why this case continues to amaze people today! If you have information relating to an unsolved crime, you can contact your local police force or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
