REDRUM true crime

He was the man every study-abroad student wanted on their trip - charismatic, always around, always at the party. Manuel Blanco Vela ran a wildly popular tour company for American college students exploring Spain, Portugal, and Morocco. Parents thought their kids were in safe hands. They weren't.This episode follows Gabrielle, a 19 year old student who was drugged and sexually assaulted by her own tour guide on what was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime ... and who, years later, would open a Facebook message that changed everything: "Manuel Blanco Vela killed my daughter."That message came from Carrie, whose 21 year old daughter Lauren supposedly fell ten stories to her death from Manuel's apartment balcony in 2015 - on the same night he took two heavily intoxicated students home alone. Lauren's blood alcohol was nearly at coma level. Manuel's was 0. The case was closed with no charges. Carrie spent the rest of her life fighting for answers.We're unpacking the pattern - the champagne, the "safety" warnings that kept women isolated with him, the sangria nights, the blackouts - and how one survivor's spreadsheet, one viral post, and one TODAY show interview cracked open a case involving somewhere between 50 and 100 accusers across at least 3 countries.But here's what you need to know before you hit play: the man convicted of these crimes is not currently in prison. His appeal is still pending. He's out, passport surrendered, waiting on a ruling that could come any time in the next year - which means, right now, nobody actually knows how this ends.The Predator of Seville docuseries: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt40392206/Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

On the 1st of May, 1984, 45 year old Anthony Littler stepped off the train at East Finchley Underground station after a night out with friends who shared his love of real ale. It should have been an ordinary walk home. Instead, minutes later, he lay dying on a dark footpath just meters from the station... attacked by two men lurking in the vegetation, armed with a rounders bat. What followed was a chillingly precise crime and an emergency call that made no sense.A young, "well spoken" caller rang for an ambulance and told the operator a man was hurt outside the station... then hung up. Police searched the area. They found nothing. By the time Anthony was discovered, it was too late. No robbery. No obvious motive. No forensic trail. Just a stranger murder that went cold for decades, buried under thousands of paper files, and a possible connection to another unsolved attack just two days earlier.Then, on the 29th anniversary of Anthony's death, a family secret finally cracked the case wide open... and a 2 minute gap in a decades-old timetable would become the key to it all.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Ian Huntley - the killer of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, one of Britain's most notorious child murderers, was fatally attacked in prison on February 26th, 2026.In this true crime episode, we investigate the man responsible: 44 year old Anthony Russell, a triple murderer now serving a rare whole life order. Before Ian Huntley, Anthony Russell's 2020 killing spree tore through Coventry and Leamington Spa in the West Midlands, fuelled by heroin addiction and a psychotic delusion that his best friend had betrayed him. 3 people would be dead within days... including a grieving mother searching for her missing son, and a pregnant woman whose horrifying final hours sparked one of the largest manhunts in West Midlands Police history. We break down the murders, the manhunt, the trial, and the rape charge that took two juries to resolve - and how it all led to a maximum security cell next to Ian Huntley.Subscribe to REDRUM for twice weekly true crime deep dives, UK murder cases, and prison true crime stories.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In November 2022, 55 year old Leroy Fowler was rushed to hospital after suddenly becoming violently ill inside the home he shared with his girlfriend, Judy Church. Doctors quickly discovered something deeply unusual: Leroy's kidneys were shutting down, his blood had become dangerously acidic, and tests revealed he had been poisoned with ethylene glycol... the toxic chemical found in antifreeze. As investigators searched the couple's home, they uncovered disturbing evidence, including an orange-stained sports drink bottle, handwritten journals filled with anger, voodoo dolls, and chilling phone videos recorded while Leroy lay suffering on the floor. Prosecutors alleged that what first appeared to be a tragic medical emergency was, in reality, a calculated act of murder.In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, we examine the evidence, the complicated love triangle, the shocking trial testimony, and the haunting video that became one of the prosecution's most powerful pieces of evidence. Did Leroy realise he was being poisoned before it was too late? And what did the jury see that convinced them this wasn't simply a tragic death, but a premeditated murder that would leave a family searching for answers forever?Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

For over 2 decades, the murder of 23 year old law student Tara Louise Baker haunted investigators, devastated her family, and left the community of Athens, Georgia searching for answers.On the morning of 19 January 2001, firefighters responding to a house fire made a horrifying discovery inside Tara's bedroom. What initially appeared to be a tragic fire quickly became a brutal homicide investigation involving strangulation, a fatal stab wound, sexual assault, and an apparent attempt to destroy the evidence. Despite witness sightings, countless interviews, and years of investigation, the case went cold... until advances in DNA technology and a renewed cold case investigation uncovered a breakthrough no one saw coming.In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, we examine the evidence, the missteps, the decades-long fight for justice, and the forensic breakthrough that finally identified Tara's killer.

In July 1987, what appeared to be a horrific car crash on a quiet road in Sun Valley quickly became one of California's most shocking murder cases. Claire Peernock was found dead behind the wheel of her ex husbands wrecked Cadillac, while her 18 year old daughter, Natasha Peernock, survived with devastating injuries. But investigators soon discovered the collision had been carefully staged to hide a brutal, premeditated attack. In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, Grace Cordell uncovers the years of abuse that led to that night, the meticulous planning behind the crime, and the extraordinary courage of Natasha, whose memories would expose the truth. As detectives peeled back layer after layer of deception, they uncovered evidence so chilling it would ultimately destroy a killer's carefully constructed plan-but not before revealing just how far he was willing to go to get away with murder.Read the book here: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780440217909/Checklist-Murder-True-Story-Robert-0440217903/plpSign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In November 2024, social workers, police, and the family court system were all focused on one vulnerable 14 month old boy: Oakley Barnett. His mother, Emma Barnett, had already lost care of her previous children, and a final court decision was about to determine whether Oakley would also be removed from her custody. What happened over the next few hours would end in one of the most devastating child murder cases in recent UK history.As officers searched desperately for Emma and Oakley across Essex, helicopters circled overhead and concerns grew that something had gone terribly wrong. But the truth was far closer than anyone realised. Hidden inside a barricaded loft space, Emma and Oakley were waiting. When police finally located them shortly after midnight, a single sentence changed everything and triggered a frantic rescue attempt that came too late to save a little boy whose entire future should still have been ahead of him.In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, Grace examines the murder of Oakley Barnett, the warning signs leading up to the tragedy, the role of social services and family court proceedings, the evidence presented at trial, and the questions that remain about whether intervention can ever move quickly enough when a crisis unfolds behind closed doors.As officers listened outside that loft hatch, they still believed Oakley was alive. Then Emma spoke one sentence that would instantly transform a missing child investigation into something far more horrifying...Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In September 2011, 35 year old Shawndell McLeod vanished without a trace after ending a turbulent relationship with her ex-girlfriend, Joyce Pelzer. Friends and family knew something was wrong almost immediately. Shawndell was devoted to her children, close with her loved ones, and had been making plans for the future. Then, suddenly, she was gone.For years, investigators searched for answers, but with no body, no crime scene, and little physical evidence, the case slowly grew cold. Shawndell's family was left waiting, wondering whether they would ever learn what happened to her.Then, in 2018, another woman entered Joyce Pelzer's life.When Joyce's wife, Rosalyn Lewis, was found brutally stabbed to death in a Georgia motel room, detectives began unraveling a web of lies, manipulation, jealousy, and violence that stretched back more than a decade. What they discovered would breathe new life into Shawndell's disappearance and ultimately lead prosecutors to accuse Joyce of not one murder, but two.In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, Grace examines the shocking case of Joyce Pelzer, the disappearance of Shawndell McLeod, the murder of Rosalyn Lewis, and the investigation that prosecutors say exposed a killer who believed she had escaped justice forever.But even after a conviction, one haunting question remains unanswered.More than a decade later, Shawndell McLeod's body has never been found, and despite what a jury ultimately concluded, her family still does not know where she was left. Somewhere, the final piece of this story remains hidden, waiting to be discovered.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In October 2023, a woman repeatedly called 999 with a chilling confession: she said she had killed someone.But there was a problem.She wouldn’t say who the victim was. She wouldn’t reveal exactly where the murder had happened. And despite calling emergency services multiple times over a period of weeks, police were left trying to piece together fragments of a story that barely made sense.The woman was 52 year old Anne-Marie Burrows.At first, officers had no body, no confirmed crime scene, and no clear way of knowing whether the calls were genuine, intoxicated ramblings or the confession of a real killer. But when Anne-Marie finally phoned police again and revealed the name of the victim - 56 year old Royal Navy veteran Paul Knowles - investigators would uncover a scene so violent that even seasoned professionals struggled with the brutality of what had happened inside a flat in Peterborough.Paul had served more than two decades in the Royal Navy, including during the Gulf War. He was a father, a brother, and someone described by loved ones as dependable, kind and deeply loved. So how did a night spent drinking with someone he considered a friend end in tragedy?Anne-Marie claimed she acted in self-defence. She said fear, trauma and panic drove what happened next. But as forensic evidence emerged and the full extent of Paul’s injuries was revealed in court, prosecutors argued something very different.In this episode of REDRUM, Grace takes you through the disturbing timeline of repeated 999 calls, the police bodycam footage of Anne-Marie’s arrest, the courtroom evidence not widely reported online, and the devastating impact left behind for Paul Knowles’ family.Because what police eventually discovered inside that flat at Farriers Court raised one deeply unsettling question…If this was self-defence - why did the evidence tell such a different story?

In the spring and summer of 1993, fear quietly moved through London’s gay community - although, at first, hardly anyone realised a serial killer was already hunting in plain sight.He wasn’t lurking in alleyways. He wasn’t breaking into homes. Instead, he walked into pubs, struck up conversations, bought drinks, flirted, and blended in. Charming when he wanted to be, organised to an almost terrifying degree, he specifically targeted men who enjoyed BDSM and the passive role during sex, knowing they would initially trust him, believing they were stepping into a consensual encounter. But behind closed doors, what began as fantasy would turn into something unimaginably sinister.This week on REDRUM, I dive into one of Britain’s most disturbing yet lesser-known serial killers: Colin Ireland, later dubbed “The Gay Slayer” by the press. A man who made a chilling New Year’s resolution - to become a serial killer - and then methodically set out to achieve it.From the coded world of London’s 1990s gay scene and the now-infamous Coleherne Arms pub, to a deeply troubling investigation riddled with missed opportunities, assumptions, and devastating failures, this case raises uncomfortable questions about prejudice, vulnerability, and whether these murders could have been stopped sooner.Why were multiple deaths initially ruled accidental? How did a killer manage to evade capture while returning to the same hunting ground over and over again? And what happens when the person police are searching for starts calling them directly?This is a story of manipulation, control, hidden lives, and a predator who understood exactly how to weaponise trust.Stonewall: ⁠https://www.stonewall.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are⁠Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In August 2017, just hours before Hurricane Harvey unleashed devastation across Texas, 37 year old mother of 2 Crystal McDowell vanished without a trace.Crystal had everything to live for. A thriving real estate career, 2 children she adored, and a new relationship that friends said had brought happiness back into her life after divorce. The morning she disappeared, Crystal kissed her boyfriend goodbye and set off to pick up her children from her ex-husband’s house in Baytown, Texas. But she disappeared.As floodwaters swallowed roads and emergency services became overwhelmed, loved ones feared Crystal may have become trapped in the deadly storm. But when her abandoned black Mercedes was discovered outside a motel with the keys left behind and no sign of Crystal, investigators began to fear something far more sinister had happened.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In February 2000, Christine Chappel disappeared from their home in the quiet Essex village of Roxwell. At first, no one realised anything was wrong. But that all changed when a dog walker on a beach made a discovery that would leave investigators stunned.A body had washed ashore near Kessingland. It was naked, wrapped in heavy chains, secured with padlocks, and weighed down with gym equipment in what appeared to be a deliberate attempt to ensure it would never be found. When police finally identified the victim as Christine Chappel, questions immediately began to mount. Was this murder? Suicide? Or something far more complicated?As detectives retraced Christine’s final days, they uncovered a life marked by upheaval, personal struggles, and identity. Born Bryan Hooley, Christine had transitioned in the 1990s, navigating life as a transgender woman during a period where trans experiences were rarely understood or represented. But by the time of their death, Christine’s world had become increasingly difficult - a failed court battle, financial pressures, family breakdown, and growing uncertainty about identity all cast long shadows over their final months.In this case, the most unsettling question wasn’t just how Christine died…it was about someone much closer to home...Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In July 1992, 23 year old Rachel Nickell headed out for a morning walk across Wimbledon Common with her 2 year old son, Alex. But what should have been an ordinary summer morning turned into one of Britain’s most shocking and devastating crimes. In this episode of REDRUM, we uncover the brutal murder of Rachel Nickell, the nationwide panic that followed, and the investigation that spiralled into one of the most controversial police failures in modern British history. From the intense scrutiny placed on an innocent man, to undercover honeytrap operations, criminal profiling, missed warning signs, and the terrifying crimes of Robert Napper, this is a case filled with devastating mistakes, systemic failures, and lives forever changed. But as police became fixated on one suspect, a far more dangerous predator may have already been hiding in plain sight… Dwaine George INNOCENCE project case: ⁠https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/pro-bono/cardiff-university-innocence-project/dwaine-george⁠ Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Sakia Gunn was a 15 year old girl from Newark, New Jersey, whose life was taken in the early hours of the 11th of May 2003.This episode follows the case as we unpack the final moments of Sakia’s life, the confrontation at a Newark bus stop that changed everything, and the devastating moments that followed. We explore the investigation into her murder, the arrest of the lead suspect, and the legal questions surrounding hate crime legislation in the early 2000s. We also look at the wider social context of the case... what it meant to be a young Black lesbian teenager in 2003, the realities of navigating identity at a time of far less acceptance, and how Sakia’s death sparked outrage, activism, and lasting calls for change.But what happened to Sakia Gunn didn’t end at that bus stop… and the questions her death raised are still being asked more than 20 years later.Newark Pride Alliance, donate here: https://www.newarkpride.org/donateSign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In January 2008, 21 year old mother of 2, Denise Amber Lee vanished from her home in North Port, Florida, in broad daylight... leaving behind her phone, keys, purse… and 2 young children alone inside the house.Across town, a terrified woman secretly dialled 911 from inside a moving car, whispering clues, begging to go home to her children, while pretending to speak normally so her abductor wouldn’t realise she was calling for help. Minutes later, another witness reported seeing what looked like a child being kidnapped from a passing green Camaro.But despite multiple 911 calls, eyewitness information, and opportunities to intervene… something went catastrophically wrong.In this episode of REDRUM True Crime, Grace dives into the heartbreaking and infuriating case of Denise Amber Lee, the stranger abduction that shocked Florida, the emergency response failures that sparked national outrage, and the devastating questions that still haunt this case today:Could Denise have been saved?As the investigation unfolds, detectives race against time, a suspect emerges, and one missed opportunity changes everything.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In February 1977, a routine morning at a mortgage office in downtown Indianapolis would erupt into one of the most chilling hostage situations ever captured on camera.What began as a dispute over land, debt, and frustration between a borrower and a mortgage company quickly spiralled into something far more dangerous… when Tony Kiritsis walked into Meridian Mortgage armed, prepared, and carrying something he called a “Dead Man’s Line.”What followed was a 63-hour standoff that unfolded in plain sight. Through office hallways, across city streets, and eventually into the heart of downtown Indianapolis - all while a terrified hostage was forced to stay inches away from a loaded weapon rigged with a homemade trigger mechanism designed to fire if anything went wrong.Police followed closely behind, but every attempt to intervene risked turning a hostage situation into an instant execution. News crews arrived quickly, and what they captured would turn this case into something almost unthinkable… a real-time crisis broadcast as it unfolded.As negotiations broke down and demands escalated, the situation stretched far beyond a simple hostage crisis. It became a moving standoff across the city, with escalating tension, public confrontation, and moments where one wrong step could have changed everything in an instant...Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In December 1991, 4 teenage girls - Jennifer Harbison, Sarah Harbison, Amy Ayers, and Eliza Thomas - were brutally murdered inside an Austin yogurt shop after closing time, in one of the most horrifying crimes in Texas history. Bound, shot execution-style, sexually assaulted, and left inside a store deliberately set on fire, the case shocked the nation and launched a decades-long investigation filled with controversy, mistakes, and unanswered questions.Police eventually arrested 4 young men, with 2, Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen, convicted after giving confessions they later claimed were coerced. As forensic insight, conflicting evidence, and allegations of aggressive interrogation tactics came to light, the case began to unravel. Over 30 years after the murders, advances in DNA technology identified an entirely different suspect: a violent serial offender who was connected to sexual assaults, murders, home invasions, and a trail of violence across multiple states.In this episode of REDRUM, we break down the full timeline of the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders, the catastrophic investigation, the wrongful convictions, the detective later accused of coercing confessions, and the DNA evidence that finally revealed the truth.But after decades of false starts, ruined lives, and one of America’s most haunting cold cases… how did investigators end up accusing the wrong men while the real killer remained hidden in plain sight?

On July 31st 2022, a devastating 100mph car crash in Strongsville, Ohio left 2 teenage boys dead. At first, it looked like a tragic accident. But investigators would soon uncover evidence that suggested something far darker…Dominic Russo and his best friend, Davion Flanagan, had accepted a lift home after a summer party with Dominic’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Mackenzie Shirilla. Minutes later, the car slammed into a brick building at catastrophic speed. Dominic and Davion were killed instantly. Mackenzie survived.What followed shocked even seasoned investigators.Data pulled from the vehicle revealed no attempt to brake.Witnesses came forward describing an allegedly toxic relationship marked by threats, manipulation, and one chilling warning: “I will crash this car right now.” Then came the GPS evidence, toxicology results, social media posts, and allegations that raised one haunting question... was this really an accident at all?This is the story of love turned volatile, control, obsession, and the split-second decision that destroyed multiple families forever… but as detectives began piecing together the final hours before impact, they uncovered something that would change the entire case... and make people question whether this crash had been planned long before anyone got into that car.

On the 7th of October, 2019, police in Cape Coral came face to face with a man named Wade Wilson during a domestic violence investigation involving his ex-girlfriend. Bodycam footage captured the tense interaction as officers tried to stop him from leaving… but Wade drove away. At that moment, police had no idea they were speaking to a man who had already murdered one woman ...and who, just hours later, would abduct and kill another.In this episode of REDRUM, we unravel the terrifying timeline behind the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, the warning signs leading up to the killings, the disturbing history of violence and abuse that came before, and the investigation that followed as detectives raced to piece together a rapidly escalating nightmare. From the brutal assault outside Mila spa, to Wade’s chilling confessions, his attempted escape, controversial police handling of earlier allegations, and the media frenzy that later surrounded the case, this is one of the most shocking true crime stories in recent years.But beneath the headlines, viral clips, and the “Deadpool Killer” nickname, are 2 women whose lives were stolen in acts of horrific violence… and a timeline that raises haunting questions about whether this tragedy could ever have been prevented.And by the time investigators realised what Wade Wilson had actually done that day… it was already far too late.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Some 911 calls are disturbing.Some are heartbreaking.But very few capture the exact moment a murder is taking place.When Deanna Cook called emergency services in the early hours of August 17th 2012, she was terrified. In the background, dispatchers could hear chaos unfolding inside her home… confusion… panic… and then, something far more sinister.Deanna was begging for help, and a male voice in the background said "I'll kill you".But despite the call.Despite the audio.Despite the warning signs…Nobody came in time. And even more horrifying? After the line went dead, Deanna wouldn’t be found for nearly TWO DAYS.As friends and family desperately searched for answers, the truth inside that house remained hidden... while the person responsible walked free.In this episode of REDRUM, I dig into the chilling timeline of Deanna's final hours, the haunting 911 recording that left investigators stunned, and the devastating moment her loved ones made the discovery no family should ever have to make.What really happened inside Deanna’s home that night?Why did it take so long for anyone to realise she was dead?And could this murder have been prevented?Because when detectives finally pieced together the truth… they uncovered a case far darker than anyone first imagined.National Network to end Domestic Violence: https://nnedv.org/Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

The true crime case behind one of the most viewed 6 seconds of court footage online.On an seemingly ordinary evening in Carlsbad, California, a father followed a set of instructions he believed would clear his name… but instead, he walked straight into an ambush.This is the chilling case of Diana Lovejoy and Greg Mulvihill.A bitter divorce that spiralled into allegations, paranoia, and a plot that was unbelievably calculated. As custody battles intensified and accusations of abuse surfaced, Greg found himself fighting not just for access to his young son, but for his reputation, his freedom… and ultimately, his life.Then came the message that changed everything: potentially, a chance to prove his innocence. But hidden in the darkness of a remote hiking trail, someone was waiting.What followed was a series of gunshots, a desperate fight to survive, and an investigation that would unravel a web of manipulation, deception, and a relationship far more dangerous than anyone realised.But the biggest question wasn’t just who pulled the trigger……it was who had been planning it all along.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In January 2004, what should have been a routine child handover turned into a calculated, near-fatal act of violence that would shock the United States and expose the terrifying realities of domestic abuse...Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, a mother of 2 from Wisconsin, had already endured years of control and violence at the hands of her ex-husband, David Larsen. But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting that day. As she stepped inside his home to collect their children, she was ambushed... beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat in a sustained, brutal attack that left her barely conscious.What followed was not just violence, but methodical cruelty.David bound Teri with duct tape, forced her into a plastic bin, packed it with snow, and sealed her inside. Then, as temperatures plummeted well below freezing, he loaded the container into his truck and began driving across state lines. Trapped in darkness, gravely injured, and slowly freezing, Teri somehow managed to access her phone and make a desperate 911 call... but when the 911 operator didn't take the call seriously, it was only a matter of time, before things got even worse.Are you suffering from a coercive, controlling or abusive relationship?

In January 2008, 26 year old Kadie Major and her 10 month old daughter, River Lynn, were found dead near train tracks off Oakley Road in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Authorities quickly ruled it a murder-suicide.Investigators claimed Kadie had been struggling with postpartum depression, that she had killed her daughter before stepping in front of a train, and within days, that explanation became official... before toxicology results were returned, before the autopsy report was finalised, and before key questions had been fully explored.But from the very beginning, Kadie’s family didn’t believe it. In the hours before she disappeared, Kadie had been making plans, sharing the news she was expecting a baby boy, and speaking with loved ones. That same night, her husband reported that she had run from the house in fear, convinced someone was coming to kill her... but discouraged the family from calling police.By the next morning, the search ended in tragedy.As the investigation unfolded, details began to surface that didn’t sit right. Her truck was found abandoned but completely undamaged, her wedding rings had been removed and placed in her pocket, there was a handwritten note filled with fragmented religious and apocalyptic phrases, and a timeline that raised more questions than answers.Years later, with a PI on the case and following national attention from CBS’s 48 Hours, the case was reopened.Investigators publicly stated they no longer believed Kadie’s death was a suicide... and named her husband as the sole suspect.So what really happened to Kadie Major and River that night? And how did a case closed in just days… unravel into something far more complicated?GOFUNDME for Kadie's family investigation: https://www.gofundme.com/f/1v5wj2876oIf you want to read more about the case, you can read blog posts and more on Vicky's website: https://kadieandherbabies.com/news/Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Another young woman. Another apartment in the same complex. Another body left in a bathtub.

Part 2/2In July 2023, a quiet lunch in rural Leongatha would become the centre of one of the most shocking and disturbing criminal cases in recent Australian history, when 4 guests sat down at the home of Erin Patterson, unaware that the meal placed in front of them would soon leave 3 of them dead and another fighting for their life.What began as a supposed ordinary family gathering, quickly spiralled into a medical emergency that baffled doctors and horrified investigators.

This is part 1/2.In July 2023, a quiet lunch in rural Leongatha would become the centre of one of the most shocking and disturbing criminal cases in recent Australian history, when 4 guests sat down at the home of Erin Patterson, unaware that the meal placed in front of them would soon leave 3 of them dead and another fighting for their life.What began as a supposed ordinary family gathering, quickly spiralled into a medical emergency that baffled doctors and horrified investigators.

Rabies is one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, with a fatality rate that is almost 100% once symptoms begin, a disease that can lie dormant for weeks or even months before suddenly, and violently, taking over the brain, leaving doctors with almost no way to stop what comes next.In this episode, we explore the real-life case of Yvonne Ford, a 59 year old grandmother from Barnsley, whose life changed after what seemed like nothing more than a minor scratch from a puppy while on holiday, an injury so small it didn’t even bleed. Months later she developed devastating neurological symptoms that would escalate rapidly, leading to her death in just a matter of days.But her story is only one side of rabies.Because in extremely rare cases, the outcome is different.We also examine the case of Jeanna Giese, a teenager from Wisconsin who became the first person ever known to survive rabies after symptoms had already begun, a case that challenged everything the medical world thought it knew about the virus, and led to the development of an experimental treatment known as the Milwaukee Protocol.Through these two cases, Grace breaks down how rabies is transmitted, why even the smallest scratch can be enough to infect, what really happens inside the body as the virus travels through the nervous system, and why symptoms like hydrophobia are among the most terrifying and unmistakable signs that the disease has reached its final stage.We also explore the rare and controversial cases of survival, including what doctors still don’t understand about why a handful of people live while almost everyone else doesn’t, and why, despite modern medicine, rabies remains one of the most unforgiving infections in the world.

Carrie Slater was 37 years old when she was found with a catastrophic head injury inside a quiet bungalow in the village of Long Clawson.When her partner, Richard Basson, called 999, he claimed it was an accident… that Carrie had somehow walked into a pool cue during an argument over a cigarette. But within moments of arriving at the scene, police knew something wasn’t right. The injury didn’t match the story, the evidence didn’t line up, and as detectives began to piece together what had really happened inside that house, Richard's version of events began to unravel.What they would uncover was a far darker reality... one involving an illegal firearm, a history of violence, and a carefully constructed lie that Richard hoped would save him from the consequences of his actions.In this episode of REDRUM, we examine the final hours of Carrie Slater’s life, the controlling relationship that preceded her death, and the forensic evidence that exposed the truth behind a story so implausible it shocked even experienced investigators. From the chilling 999 call to the courtroom, this is a case raises unsettling questions about coercion, accountability, and how far someone will go to cover up the unthinkable.

On the 17th of June 2019, 23 year old University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck landed back in Salt Lake City, after attending her grandmother’s funeral. She texted her mum to say she’d arrived safely… and then, within hours, she vanished . Her final known movements would lead investigators to a dark, empty park at 3am... and into a case that quickly spiralled into something far more disturbing than anyone first imagined.As police retraced her steps, they uncovered a secret online life, a carefully arranged late night meeting, and a trail of digital evidence that pointed toward a man who was hiding something sinister.This episode unravels the timeline, the evidence, and the chilling escalation that followed Mackenzie’s disappearance… because what began as a missing persons case would soon expose a level of planning and brutality that begs one terrifying question... what was really waiting for her in that car?

In July 2003, in the quiet, suburban community of Clear Lake, Texas, four young friends gathered at home, planning to hang out with some pizza, movies, and a night in. But by the end of that afternoon, all four were dead. What investigators found inside the house was brutal, deliberate, and deeply unsettling. There were no signs of forced entry. No obvious robbery. No clear explanation for the level of violence. Just a scene that suggested one chilling possibility… whoever did this was invited inside. As police began to piece together what happened, they turned to the people closest to the victims - friends, relationships, and the small, everyday details of teenage life that held the key to something much darker. But soon... the case went cold. Years later, a single tip changed everything. In this episode of REDRUM, we tell the story of Rachael Koloroutis, Tiffany Rowell, Marcus Precella, and Adelbert Sanchez - who they were, the lives they were living, and the devastating events that unfolded inside that house. Because sometimes, the most dangerous person… isn’t a stranger at all.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In the quiet, picture perfect town of Herndon, Virginia, everything about the Banfield family looked… normal. A beautiful home. Childhood sweethearts tuned into a long marriage. A young daughter. And two parents with demanding, high-pressure careers - one working in federal law enforcement, the other caring for critically ill children as a paediatric intensive care nurse.But on the morning of February 24th, 2023, everything changes. A series of frantic 911 calls leads police to a scene inside the family home that is almost impossible to comprehend. A woman is found with devastating injuries. A man... a complete stranger... lies dead nearby. And in the basement, a four-year-old child is left completely unharmed.At first glance, it looks like a home invasion gone terribly wrong. But as investigators begin to piece together what really happened inside that house, they uncover a trail that leads them far beyond the front door… into a hidden world of online identities, secret relationships, and messages that raise more questions than answers.Because the man found inside the home that morning… wasn’t there by accident.And the deeper detectives dig, the more the story begins to unravel. What starts as a seemingly random act of violence quickly becomes something far more complex... and far more deliberate.In this episode, we break down the full timeline of events, the key people at the centre of the case, and the evidence that would ultimately lead to one of the most disturbing and calculated murder trials in recent memory.Grace Recommends: https://amzn.to/4mcG9wmSign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

In November of 2003, a school teacher in Charleston, South Carolina failed to show up for work. For most people, that might not raise immediate alarm... but this was Mary Lynn Witherspoon. Reliable. Dedicated. The kind of woman who wasn't someone to leave or disappear without some kind of explanation. Within hours, concern turned into something far more serious.What began as a welfare check quickly unravelled into a scene investigators would later describe as deeply disturbing... signs of a struggle, a home in disarray, and a discovery that would leave an entire community in shock. But what makes this case even more chilling, is that the person responsible wasn’t a stranger lurking in the shadows. He had been in Mary Lynn’s life for years.In fact, his connection to her stretched back 23 years, beginning when he was just a child. What started as unsettling behaviour slowly escalated over the years into something far darker.There were warning signs. Repeated ones. Incidents that, in hindsight, paint a terrifying picture of obsession, fixation, and a complete disregard for boundaries.This is a case that forces us to confront uncomfortable questions: How does a situation escalate from troubling behaviour to unimaginable violence?As the investigation unfolds, what police uncover is not just a brutal crime, but a pattern. One that had been building for years, hidden in plain sight. And in the aftermath, Mary Lynn’s death would go on to change the law, highlighting critical failures in the system designed to protect victims, and ensuring her name would never be forgotten. This is the story of Mary Lynn Witherspoon.REDRUM questionnaire to tell me about you: https://redrumtruecrime.lnk.to/feedbackSign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

Some names would come up again and again, and in this episode, I'll take you through each of them.I outline the evidence, the missed opportunities, and the fragments that may mean something IMPORTANT.

In June 1998, 11 year old Wesley Neailey left his home in Newcastle and cycled off to meet someone he believed he could trust. For Wesley’s family, it was supposed to be a normal afternoon. But when he didn’t come home, panic quickly set in. A missing child search began across the city... and what investigators would eventually uncover would shock the entire community. The person Wesley had been taken by was Dominic McKilligan, an adult who lived nearby. What most people didn’t realise at the time was that Dominic already had a deeply troubling past. Just months earlier, he had been released from a young offenders’ institution after committing a series of assaults against young boys. Despite those warnings, he was now living in this new community - close enough to cross paths with Wesley. On the day Wesley disappeared, he was lured by Dominic to his home. Inside his garage on Wingrove Road, the situation turned violent. For weeks, the case remained a mystery. Posters went up across Newcastle. Searches were carried out across fields and streets as Wesley’s family pleaded for information about where their son might be. As detectives pieced together what had happened, the case raised deeply troubling questions... not just about the crime itself, but about how someone already known to pose a serious risk to children had been able to get close enough to take another young life. For Wesley’s family, the loss was unimaginable. And for the wider public, the case would become a haunting reminder of the consequences when dangerous warnings are missed.

In the early hours of July 14th, 1966, police were called to a quiet townhouse on Chicago’s South Side. Inside lived a group of student nurses- young women who had moved to the city to train at South Chicago Community Hospital, sharing the home while they studied, worked long shifts, and built lives dedicated to caring for others.But that morning, the house was eerily silent...Inside, investigators would uncover one of the most shocking mass murders in American history.8 young nurses had been brutally killed over the course of a single night. The crime scene was chaotic... But even more incredible was one detail investigators discovered later.Somehow… one woman inside that house had survived.For hours, she had hidden silently, under one of the beds. And the testimony she would eventually give would become the key to identifying the man responsible.The suspect who emerged would soon become one of the most infamous killers in American criminal history: Richard B. Speck.But as the investigation unfolded, disturbing details about that night began to surface... including what Richard claimed happened inside the house, and the version of events he would later give from prison decades later...Grace recommends: SIFT the baking book Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

On the 10th of April, 2008, 16 year old Meghan Landowski arrived home from school in Portsmouth, Virginia. She called her mum to say she was back safely - just a normal afternoon for a teenager juggling school, friends, and dance classes.When Meghan's stepfather walked through the front door later that afternoon, something immediately felt wrong. The house was quiet. The front door had been left open. And in the kitchen, he discovered a scene that would launch one of the most disturbing investigations the community had ever seen.Meghan had been brutally attacked, restrained with tape, and stabbed dozens of times. The violence suggested a deeply personal crime... but investigators initially had no clear suspect. Police began examining every part of Meghan’s life: her family, her friends, classmates, and anyone who might have crossed paths with the outgoing and very much loved teenager.Early in the investigation, detectives focused on a man who had previously been accused of assaulting Meghan... a lead that seemed almost too obvious. But as forensic evidence sent the investigating team in a completely different direction.Over the next few months, detectives conducted dozens of interviews, collected more than 80 DNA samples, and carefully pieced together Meghan’s final hours...With the case stalled and pressure mounting, one small detail ... and one suspicious interaction with a teenage boy ... would suddenly change everything.What followed was a bizarre story involving a mysterious masked attacker, a piece of chewing gum, and a lie that investigators would slowly unravel.In this episode, we explore the tragic murder of Meghan Landowski, the investigation that followed, the evidence that nearly went unnoticed, and the chilling truth that eventually emerged.This is the Meghan Landowski case.Grace recommends: Claire Saffitz book What's for Dessert?Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

This episode was originally released as a Patreon exclusive episode. In Cannock, Staffordshire, what began as a turbulent relationship quietly spiralled into something far more dangerous. Friends noticed the warning signs long before the police ever did - the volatility, the repeated 999 calls, the fear Louis Price confided in those closest to him. By Christmas Eve 2024, jealousy, obsession and alcohol collided in the early hours of the morning, setting into motion a chain of events that could never be undone. CCTV cameras would capture the truth....See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the small town of Bellevue, Idaho, a seemingly perfect family was destroyed in a single morning. But as the investigation unfolded, the spotlight turned to 16-year-old Sarah Johnson. What drove this teenager to commit an act so horrifying, it defied explanation? Or did she at all? Discover the truth behind the bloody crime scene, the tangled web of lies, and the trial that shocked the nation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the winter of 1956, three boys walking down a dirt trail known as Lovers Lane make a horrifying discovery: a young man lying face down in the frozen ground, hands bound behind his back, shot in the head, but... he was left alive for hours before eventually dying. By the next day, his girlfriend is also reported missing. With no bullets, no suspects, and no answers, the case goes cold for decades… until a single sperm cell and modern DNA technology uncover a name no one ever suspected...
