    Ep 21: Kathleen Folbigg — Twenty Years in Prison for Crimes Science Says Never Happened | NSW True Crime | Wrongful Conviction Australia

    In 1999, Craig Folbigg was going through boxes as his marriage collapsed. Somewhere in the house, his fourth child had just died. He was looking for something — anything — to make sense of it. He found a notebook. Then another. Handwritten diaries his wife had never shown him. He sat down and read them. Then he made a decision that would define the next twenty years of Kathleen Folbigg's life. Kathleen was convicted in 2003 of murdering three of her four children — Caleb, Patrick, Sarah, and Laura — who died between 1989 and 1999 in their New South Wales home. The case rested heavily on her diaries, on statistical improbability arguments, and on the now-discredited logic of Roy Meadow's Law: that lightning doesn't strike the same family four times. For twenty years, she was Australia's most reviled woman. Then a scientific inquiry, led by Nobel laureate Peter Doherty, identified genetic mutations in the children that could explain their deaths. On June 5, 2023, the NSW Governor pardoned Kathleen Folbigg. She had served twenty years for crimes science now says may never have happened. This episode traces the full story: Kathleen's violent beginnings — a father who murdered her mother when she was eighteen months old — four children, four deaths, a diary weaponised in a courtroom, and one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in Australian legal history. ⚠️ Trigger warnings: infant death, child loss, discussion of justice system failures.

    Ep 20: Taylor Parker — She Faked a Pregnancy, Then She Took Someone Else's Baby | New Boston Texas 2020 | True Crime

    At Taylor Parker's gender reveal party, something wasn't right. The bump didn't look right. The dates on Facebook didn't add up. The ultrasound she'd posted at twelve weeks showed a foetus that looked nothing like twelve weeks. Guests caught each other's eyes across the yard. A medical professional couldn't stop staring. Afterwards, calls were made. Texts were sent to local hospitals. Warnings were issued. Nobody could have predicted what was coming next. On October 9, 2020, in New Boston, Texas — a small town near the Arkansas border where everyone knows your business and you've all sat in the same church pews — Taylor Parker murdered 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock, who was 34 weeks pregnant. Then she cut Reagan's baby from her womb and drove away. This episode traces everything that came before: the years of faked illnesses, fabricated pregnancies, and a pattern of deception so elaborate and sustained it defies easy explanation. It also tells you who Reagan was — a young mother with a toddler, a life, and people who loved her. This is one of the most disturbing cases we've ever covered. Not because of the violence alone — but because of everything that led to it. ⚠️ Content warning: murder, foetal abduction, graphic violence, factitious disorder, infant death.

    Ep 19: Tyler Hadley, Part 1 — He Killed His Parents With a Hammer, Then Threw a Party | Port St. Lucie 2011 | Florida True Crime

    It's mid-July 2011 in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Sixty teenagers are packed into a house on Grandeur Avenue — red solo cups, warm beer, music thumping through the walls. The host is 17-year-old Tyler Hadley, and the party is everything he always wanted. His parents, Blake and Mary Jo Hadley, are in the master bedroom down the hall. Behind the locked door, underneath a pile of blood-soaked towels, is why they aren't coming out. Tyler had killed them both with a framing hammer hours earlier. Then he cleaned up, hid the bodies, and sent out the invites. Shawnee traces the story from the beginning: the suburb that promised more than it delivered, Tyler's diagnosis with Major Depressive Disorder, a cocktail of benzos, opioids and MDMA, a family trying to hold itself together, and the psychology of a teenager who felt, as he once put it, a step below everyone else. This is not a story about a monster. It's about how someone gets there — and what everyone around him missed. ⚠️ Content warning: murder of parents, drug use, teen violence, graphic crime scene detail.

    RE POST Ep 18: Israel Keyes, Part 2 — The FBI Interrogations, the Confessions, and the Secrets He Took to His Grave | American Serial Killer

    Israel Keyes agreed to talk to the FBI. He just didn't agree to tell them everything. After his arrest in 2012 for the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Alaska, Keyes entered into a deal with investigators: he would confess — but on his terms, in his own time, with details released only as he chose. Over months of FBI interviews, he described murders stretching from Vermont to Texas to the Pacific Northwest, including the 2011 killing of Bill and Lorraine Currier in a house he'd never been to before that night. Then, on December 2, 2012, he was found dead in his cell. He had taken everything else with him. The FBI believes Keyes killed at least eleven people across at least ten states over more than a decade. Most of those victims have never been identified. His murder kits — buried in remote locations years in advance — may still be out there. Part Two covers the Samantha Koenig case, the FBI interrogation tapes, the Currier murders, what Keyes did and didn't confess to, and why this remains one of the most haunting open investigations in modern American true crime. ⚠️ Content warning: murder, kidnapping, sexual violence.

    Ep 17: Israel Keyes, Part One

    You're Killing Me — Episode: Israel Keyes, Part One He buried murder kits across the country years before he needed them. He flew into cities, rented cars under false names, and drove hundreds of miles to kill strangers he'd never met — people with no connection to him, no pattern, no motive anyone could trace. Israel Keyes didn't just commit murders. He engineered them. In Part One, we cover his early life, the ideology that shaped him, the years of meticulous planning, and the crimes that unfolded across the United States before anyone even knew there was a serial killer to look for. This is one of the most calculated killers in modern American history — and somehow, most people have never heard of him. Content warning: murder, kidnapping, sexual violence, child abuse, extremist ideology.

    Ep 16: Betrayed From Birth: Shannon Matthews Was Missing for 24 Days — Then Police Found Out Who Took Her | True Crime UK

    Five police officers are clearing a flat in Batley Carr, West Yorkshire. They've already searched 1,800 properties. This is just another one. Then Detective Constable Nick Townsend crouches beside a divan bed and hears a small voice coming from inside it. A nine-year-old girl wriggles out of a hidden slot in the base. Tear-streaked. Terrified. Blinking. She says: "I'm Shannon." Shannon Matthews had been missing for 24 days. The search had gripped the UK. A community of working-class women on a Dewsbury council estate had organised themselves into one of the most extraordinary missing-child campaigns the country had ever seen — fundraisers, search parties, TV appearances, tears. And then Shannon told the officer one more thing. He's under the bed. The man. He's where I was. What followed would freeze the room, break the community, and become one of the most shocking betrayals in modern British true crime. This week on You're Killing Me, Shawnee covers the kidnapping of Shannon Matthews — the case that asked who we extend sympathy to, who we believe, and what happens when the person who should protect you is the one who put you in danger.

    Ep 15: The Medicine Hat Murders: Jasmine Richardson & Jeremy Steinke

    In 2006, the quiet city of Medicine Hat, Alberta became the centre of one of Canada’s most horrifying family murders. Twelve-year-old Jasmine Richardson and her 23-year-old boyfriend, Jeremy Steinke, were accused of brutally murdering Jasmine’s mother, father, and eight-year-old brother inside their family home — a crime so shocking it immediately made international headlines. What began as an online relationship built around dark fantasies, vampire culture, and teenage rebellion quickly spiralled into obsession, isolation, and violence. Investigators uncovered disturbing messages between the pair discussing murder, running away together, and a belief that they were destined to be together no matter who stood in the way. In this episode, we break down the full case: Jasmine’s upbringing, her relationship with Jeremy, the warning signs missed by the adults around them, the night of the murders, the police investigation, interrogation details, and the trial that followed. We also explore the psychological manipulation, online influence, and emotional vulnerability that turned a deeply unhealthy relationship into one of the most disturbing crimes in Canadian history. This episode contains discussions of child victims, graphic violence, and family homicide.

    Ep 14: The Slenderman Stabbing: Two 12-Year-Olds, 19 Stab Wounds, and a Fictional Killer

    On May 31st, 2014, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two 12-year-old girls lured their best friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times — all to prove their loyalty to a fictional internet character known as Slenderman. This is the story behind one of the most disturbing cases in modern true crime. We follow Payton Leutner — the girl who survived — and the two friends who believed they had no choice but to kill her. From the rise of creepypasta and the Slenderman myth, to the months of planning, the attack itself, and the chilling police interrogations where both girls calmly explained why they did it. We also examine the evidence uncovered during the investigation, including disturbing drawings, search histories, and the belief system that turned fiction into something dangerously real. Then, we break down the trial — and the mental health diagnoses that changed everything. This episode contains discussions of attempted murder, childhood mental illness, and graphic violence.
