We are back after the summer break with the terribly sad story of the murder and subsequent miscarriage of justice of Joanna Simpson.On the evening of 31st October 2010, 46 year old mum of two, Joanna Simpson became yet another statistic. Another woman killed by the hand of the man she once loved and who had loved her. Robert Brown was her estranged husband and father of her kids who that afternoon, right in front of the children beat Joanna to death.This violent act was the culmination of years of abuse and controlling behaviour. We explore how domestic abuse comes in many forms and how anyone from any walk of life can become a victim.Sources for this month's episode are the brilliant podcast, the Crime Analyst and the ITV show, The British Airways Killer amongst others.The Joanna Simpson FoundationOur story - The Joanna Simpson Foundation Team & Our MissionRefuge, the largest UK domestic abuse organisation for womenDomestic Violence: Types, Statistics, Laws, Shelters SearchSupport the show!Blue Murder club 💙 | creating True crime podcast | PatreonFor one time support Buy Me a Coffee:Blue Murder ClubLink to all things Blue Murder Club including all of the Socials - We look forward to hearing what you think about usbluemurderclub | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEvents:CrimeCon London 2025 - Get a tasty discount using our code BLUE AND Crimecon even do a payment plan to spread the cost!

In 1932-33 there was a small time criminal gang known as the Barrow gang, active in the surrounding area of Dallas. The gang were known and wanted for various crimes locally but worldwide notoriety was just around the corner for two members of the gang. In April 1933 police officers raided a house in Joplin, Missouri planning to bust bootleggers. However it wasn’t and was in fact the current hideout of the Barrow gang. The gang members fled so quickly that they had to leave behind all of their possessions including a camera full of undeveloped film. When that film was developed the photos were so explosive that a legend was born, the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Caz and Loz for this Series Finale of Bloody Britain and are we going out on a big case, the case of Dennis 'Des' Nilsen.For 4 years from 1979 Des killed up to 15 or 16 young men and boys and was eventually only stopped when he blocked up the drains in his flat by attempting to dispose of human remains down his toilet. As the police investigated the crimes they discovered he had been getting away with murder for years and had killed so many people that he couldn't even remember the precise amount. Dennis had very rare kink in his sexuality, he was a necrophiliac, and was only sexually aroused by the dead. Des was convicted of several murders and spent the rest of his life in prison.We hope you have enjoyed this series of crimes that took place in the UK and we will be back for Series 7 soon.Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClub Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to this week's episode, the case of the murder of Rachel Manning and the miscarriage of justice that followed.On a cold December evening in the year 2000 a young couple, Rachel and Barri had been to Barri's mum's 40th birthday party and then went out clubbing in town, after.In traditional style the evening ended with a kebab and a punch up before they went their separate ways home. Within an hour Barri received a phone call from Rachel, asking him for a lift as she was lost and was having difficulty getting a cab. Little did Barri know that this was the last time he would ever hear Rachel's voice, as shortly after she was abducted and murdered in a random attack, her body being found two days later.This was the beginning of a living nightmare for Barri and his friend Keith, who very shortly after would find themselves prime suspects for the brutal crime.Horrifyingly the pair were convicted and sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit on very little evidence.In despair Keith wrote to everyone he could think of for help, including the BBC program, Rough Justice. The team took on the case and after many years they finally managed to get the conviction overturned and the men walked free as innocent men. But if they hadn't killed Rachel then who had? Listen this week as Loz and Caz reveal the astonishing details behind this miscarriage of justice case.With credit to the brilliant documentary: Wrongly Accused : The Case of Barri WhiteWritten and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Back in the 1980's Sunday night telly was dominated by the darts gameshow, Bullseye where contestants would play darts and answer questions in an attempt to win cash prizes and the jackpot prize of a speedboat or a car. In May 1989 a contestant from Pembrokeshire, Wales called John Cooper appeared, talking about his hobby of scuba diving around the gorgeous coastline. Sporting a truly incredible mullet, John and his team mate walked away empty handed that day, returning to their normal lives having experienced their 15 minutes of fame.The idyllic area of Pembrokeshire hid the fact that there had been a number of shocking and brutal crimes over the years including murder, robbery and rape. As the years went by a cold case team resurrected the unsolved cases and in 2006 began Operation Ottowa, determined to find the person responsible for two double murders. Thanks to advances in forensic technology and fastidious police work the net began to close around John Cooper. However the final piece of the jigsaw came when producers of Bullseye came forward with footage of Cooper and how he would have looked the day of the murders according to an eyewitness. Join your girls this week for a brilliant case that grew in infamy when it was made into the mini series The Pembrokeshire Murders.Credit to: The Crimewatch Years Special Edition The Bullseye MurdererWritten and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

For Moat had a plan, a terrible plan to exact revenge on his ex-girlfriend, her new partner and the Northumbria police force.Two days after his release he stalked and shot Samantha, the mother of his daughter, almost killing her and killing Samantha's partner, Chris Brown.He then went on to declare war on the police and shot traffic officer, PC David Rathband in the face.Moat fled to the picturesque town of Rothbury, 30 miles north of Newcastle, nestled in the Northumberland national park.What followed then was nothing short of real-time updates as the worlds media descended on the small town, providing minute-by-minute news coverage of the biggest manhunt in recent British history.After some days of being on the run, Moat was finally cornered and as the eyes of the world turned to watch the conclusion, there could only ever be one fatal outcome...Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to episode 7 of Bloody Britain and this week please allow Caz and Loz to take you back to Blitz torn London.The year is 1942 and Hitler is doing his best to annihilate Great Britain, with a relentless bombing campaign, known as 'The Blitz'. Londoners had to keep lighting to a minimum and everyone was ordered to keep the City of London in total darkness, so as to not create an obvious target for the Luftwaffe. Of course, total darkness is a criminals dream come true and domestic crime soared during this period. And for one week in February that year, the iconic streets of London's West End were stalked by a predator known as the Blackout Ripper. No woman was safe and in a very short amount of time the culprit, a fighter pilot called Gordon Cummins, would take the lives of four women and attack two more.

This week's episode is all about the case of the murders of the Bamber family at their home, White House Farm. It was the 1980's the time of the hedonistic Yuppy, where wealth was flashed and 'greed was good'. The adoptive son of the respectable Neville and June Bamber, Jeremy, was surely the quintessential city boy, rich, good looking, popular and charismatic. His sister, Sheila was a beautiful model, and mother of twin boys and was also part of the London party scene. Life appeared good for the Bamber family, at least on the surface, however underneath it all there lied mental illness, conflict and jealousy.One fateful August evening Jeremy received a frantic phone call from his father, begging for help as Sheila had gone mad with a shotgun at the farmhouse. When the police finally made their way inside it was a bloodbath, every single member of the family had been shot dead, including Sheila's twin sons and then it appeared that in a final act of desperation, Sheila had turned the gun on herself. The police quickly came to the conclusion of a murder - suicide, the tragic result of her psychological difficulties.Not long after the funeral, suspicions surrounding Jeremy grew until eventually he would be charged and convicted of the murders at the farmhouse. He remains in jail until this day and still protests his innocence, claiming to be a victim of injustice.Caz and Loz investigate this most complex case and ask, what do you think happened at White House Farm?Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Credit to:The fab documentary The Bambers: Murder at the FarmContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Arguably, Peter Manuel was Scotland's first widely known serial killer and one of the last men to be hung for his crimes.Join us this week as Lozza and Cazza cover this case from the 1950's. It is a most heinous story of crime, robbery, murder.... and bizarrely, tinned fruit. Peter Manuel killed multiple young women and families and got away with it for far too long with help from his father who again and again alibied him. In the age old debate of nature vs nurture we think this is absolutely nature and that he was born bad.Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Credit to:Dawn Young @scottishmurders podcast for the recommendationContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello you lovely supporters of our podcast, as a gift for Christmas here is the previously exclusive Patreon episode of the astonishing case of Rodney Alcala, AKA the Dating Game killer. In the 1970's Alcala would commit many violent and often fatal attacks on women and girls across America.  During the height of his crimes he appeared as 'Bachelor number 1' on the hit TV show, The Dating Game, and he even won!  However his date on the show, Cheryl Bradshaw, refused to attend the tennis lesson date they had won as she found Rodney too creepy... how astute her intuition turned out to be.In 1979 he was captured and found guilty of murdering a 12 year old girl and he lived out the rest of his life behind bars.  This would transpire to be very fortunate because as the turn of the 21st century brought about new forensics, including DNA profiling, he would be charged with and convicted of five more murders.Merry Christmas you beautiful people!

It's series finale time Blue Murder Clubbers and as sad as we are to come to the end of our travels around the world, we are very excited to bring you this huge case, the case of the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.The inspiration for Stephen King's IT and many other creepy clown stories, Gacy's crimes really were the stuff of nightmares.Born into a normal family in 1940's Chicago, Gacy struggled with his bi-sexuality from an early age, and never seemed to understand the concept of consent.Jailed in his 20's for a s-x crime, Gacy went on to commit more and more offences until he finally tipped over into murder, progressing quickly to serial murder.His crimes went undetected for years until the law finally caught up with him and the most gruesome discovery was made in the crawl space under his house - the decomposing bodies over nearly 30 young men and boys.Thanks for listening everyone and we will be back soon for series 6 💙💙Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!

Good day fellow true crime community and welcome to this week's episode where we pack up and travel to South America where we cover the case of Pedro Lopez, the infamous Monster of the Andes.Señor Lopez is believed to have killed over 300 young girls in a reign of terror covering Columbia, Peru and Ecuador in the 1970's. His crimes were undetected and un-investigated by a corrupt and indifferent police force, until he was finally captured in 1980 after a flash flood revealed the gruesome sight of four of his young victims and a vigilant mother saw him attempting to abduct her own child and the mob captured him.This self confessed animal would have the luck of the devil and within only 14 years of incarceration he was released for good behaviour and was never seen again.Join Carrie and Lauren as we cover his early life as a street urchin, his career as a car thief and eventual progression to mass murder.

Hey hey you lovely bunch of true crime enthusiasts and welcome to this week's episode where we travel back to Asia, North Korea to be precise and bring you the ongoing dynasty of the Kim family. Kim Jong-un, the current dictator of North Korea is infamous globally for his eccentric ways, as well as his nuclear arms programme.Caz and Loz cover how it is to live in the most isolated and secretive country in the world. Spoiler it isn't much fun and you constantly run the risk of committing a crime, for example, having the wrong haircut and being sent to a forced labour camp or even executed. We also cover how the Kim dynasty came to be in place, how the country was torn in two at the end of the second world war, tearing families apart, and how grandfather Kim was portrayed as the saviour of the North Korean people and the self appointed, Supreme Leader.Since coming to power at the age of 28, Kim Jong-un has barely been out of the news. Although there is never enough solid proof, him and his regime have been hugely successful in espionage, cyber crime, human trafficking, forgery, you name it, and the money keeps pouring in to the Kim family coffers. More than enough for North Korea to fund a nuclear bomb programme that has ultimately made the "little rocket man" unstoppable.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&CWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and buckle up as we head back to Australia for this weeks episode of Crimes Around the World and the disturbing case of Ivan Milat - The Backpacker Killer.Sydney, Australia, the Mecca of backpackers from all over the world and even the site of the original backpacker hostel at Kings Cross, was and still is a firm favourite for young people who are looking for adventure and travel. However, in the early 1990s, Australia was rocked by the gruesome murders of seven backpackers in Belanglo State Forest, a national park around 80 miles from Sydney. To this day, the “Backpacker Murders” remain some of the worst killings in the country’s history — and it was all the work of one disturbing predator named Ivan Milat. Join Lozza and Cazza as we brush up our Aussie lingo and take a trip to New South Wales and try to discover what made the the man who would change the face of backpacking and hitch hiking in Australia forever and who would also become the inspiration for the cult classic horror film, Wolf Creek.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&CWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

The film of choice was Life of Pi and having finished the film they made their way home using a public bus service.It wasn't long before they were both victims of an extremely violent attack at the hands of the bus driver and his friends.Once they had finished with the young couple, they threw them out of the moving bus, leaving them for dead.However, even though Jyoti had suffered life threatening injuries, she was a fighter and helped the police find and convict her assailants.Once news of this appalling attack reached the public, they took to the streets to demand justice for Jyoti and safety for Indian women.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&Chttps://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.In this weeks episode about Africa, Carrie and Loz cover a country each.Caz talks about the Idi Amin years in Uganda and of his dictatorship and ruthless ruling for 8 long years in the 1970's where people would mysteriously disappear or be taken for torture and execution. By the time his regime was overthrown in 1979 upwards of 300,000 had been killed and many thousands thrown out.Loz has chosen to talk us through the genocide that took place in Rwanda back in the 1990's where around 500,000 people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered in the streets in the space of just 100 days. Where the media mogul, Félicien Kabuga enticed civil war and via his radio station and thousands of machetes, encouraged people to turn on their neighbours and former friends and turn Rwanda into nothing short of a blood-bath.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&Chttps://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.This weeks episode takes us to South Africa in the 1990's. Moses Sithole has the dubious claim of being South Africa's most prolific serial killer or the South African Ted Bundy.Between 1993-94 he murdered at least 38 women and raped many more. He was named the ABC killer as the murders began in Atteridgeville, continued to Boksburg and finished in Cleveland, all suburbs of the big cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria.Against a backdrop of post-Apartheid South Africa, Moses Sithole caused a reign of fear and terror among the young women of the area and no could figure out why women were still happy to go off with him, even though all women were living in fear of becoming his next victim.Once captured it became known that he duped women into thinking they were attending a job interview, and as he was dressed so smartly and was so charming they trusted him and sadly were never seen again.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&Chttps://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode of our current series, Around the World, where we take some of the most intriguing cases from all over the world to delve into, discuss and attempt to make sense of.In episode 2 we cover the case of the family annihilation (isn't it heart-breaking there is terminology for this) of French aristocrat, Count Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès. To their friends, family and everyone who knew them, the de Ligonnès family were a loving and close-knit unit. Consisting of the father, Xavier who had recently inherited the ancient family title of Count, his wife, Agnes who was a teaching assistant at the local Catholic school, and their four lovely children, Arthur, the eldest at age 20 who was studying at University, Thomas who was an 18-year-old student, Anne a beautiful and bright 16-year-old schoolgirl and finally, Benoit aged 14.That was until one day, after the whole family, who had been missing for almost three weeks were discovered buried under the back garden patio. When we say the whole family, there was actually one person missing - the patriarch - Xavier.When the police began their search they soon discovered that a couple of weeks earlier, Xavier had left his suburban home to take a trip down memory lane, revisiting his old haunts in the South of France, before ensuring he was seen entering a vast forest and mountain range, never to be seen again.After appearing in an episode of Netfilx's Unsolved Mysteries, it prompted the question, did he die out there or did he have a plan to get away and begin a new life somewhere far away?

Aaaaaaaaand we're back for Series 5This time we have gone for the theme of crimes around the world and we have picked out two or three cases from each continent.To kick off series 5 we have began with the case of Anders Brevik, the far-right Norwegian terrorist who in 2011 went on a killing rampage which shocked the world.He began his campaign by detonating a home made bomb in the political centre of Norway's capital, Oslo, with the aim of killing as many Labour politicians including the Prime Minister, as possible.Once this mission was accomplished, dressed in the disguise of a policeman, he made his way to the island of Utoya where a Labour Youth summer camp was happening and for over an hour he stalked and killed as many children and young adults as he could find. Harrowing images captured from a news helicopter showed children desperately trying to swim to the mainland to safety and even showed the gunman picking off the children who were cowering on the shore of the island.By the time the authorities managed to reach the island he had shot and killed 69 people.The death toll at the city centre was eight people with over 200 injured.Brevik gave himself up peacefully and is still in prison today.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&Chttps://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

So here we are listeners, at the end of this series, 4, and true to American Horror Story Season 10, we have made a double feature for you!First we cover the case of Tony Costa, the Cape Cod Vampire, who in the 1960's committed a string of abductions and murders of young women. This was an idyllic time of peace and love and Cape Cod was a haven for free spirited young people to come and meet like-minded people, get high and have fun. Sadly some of these youngsters went to Tony's 'weed garden' and were never seen again. Once he was caught and the bodies were discovered, it was apparent just how depraved this killer was and when teeth marks were found he was forever to be known as the Cape Cod Vampire.For the second part of our double feature we have covered the case of Betty and Barney Hill, who, if they are to be believed, were abducted by aliens and made their fortune selling their story and even having a film made about their experience - even Loz finds this one hard to believe!We hope you have enjoyed this series and we will miss you all desperately until we're back with Series 5, so until then it is farewell and lots of love from L & C.Please kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!https://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello you beautiful people and welcome to the penultimate episode of series 4, where each of our cases have been themed to each series of American Horror Story.So, this weeks case is gna be a rough-ride, and this case is NOT for the faint-hearted - you have been warned....Richard Ramirez AKA the night stalker (not to be confused with Delroy Grant, the British night stalker) drove terror into the hearts and minds of the residents of Los Angeles and San Francisco in the mid-80's. His MO? There was no MO. His victims? Anyone and everyone, young and old, male or female, any race and everyone in between. Ramirez was responsible for a one-man crime wave between 1984-85, sometimes killing for money, sometimes letting his victims live, sometimes just assaulting and killing for kicks.Because all of his crimes were so random it took the police a while to connect his crimes as the work of one man, but once they did the game was ON! Once they had a name and a mug shot photo, it was Ramirez vs the city of Angels, and believe us, the good citizens did themselves proud by capturing this vicious serial killer and holding him safely until the police came and arrested him.We really hope you enjoy listening and we will see you all next week for the series finale!Support BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Well, hello and welcome to our eighth episode of series 4 which has been inspired by the brilliant TV show, American Horror Story. And this week's episode is about America's first female serial killer, Aileen Wuornos, AKA The Damsel of Death.Aileen's life was one of little opportunity or love. As a little girl she was abused by her family members and her school friends, in fact she would exchange sex for loose change and cigarettes at a very young age. At age 15 she had a baby boy and was forced to have him adopted and from that moment on she would have to fend for herself as she was thrown out of her home. This was when Aileen would begin working as a sex-worker, sleeping rough in the woods while still trying to finish high school.She eventually hitch-hiked her way to the warmer climate of Florida and supported herself by working as a sex-worker.After serving three years in prison for armed robbery (she stole $35 while wearing a bikini), she met and fell in love with Tyria Moore. This relationship meant the world to Aileen and she would do anything to keep Tyria happy, including selling herself for money. However this form of employment is notoriously dangerous and one fateful evening Aileen was attacked by one of her customers and killed him in self defence. This incident appeared to trigger something in her, and thus began a year of murder and theft and by the time the police caught up with Aileen, she had killed seven men.This is quite a decisive case, was Aileen a victim and acting in self defence or was she, as the FBI claimed, America's first female serial killer?Support BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to this weeks show, and we have taken inspiration from American Horror Story Season 7, Cult. Lozza and Cazza delve into the world of the 'cult of cults', Heavens Gate. This was an American cult that had began in the 1970's with co-founders Bonnie Lu Nettles and Marshall Applewhite. The two of them were very open minded to the New Age wave that had swept the US, and also had strong beliefs about extra terrestrial life. In fact the basis of the Heavens Gate cult was that once you had completed the Class and reached the Next Level you would board a spaceship and be carried off to heaven, which they believed was a physical place and that it was possible to see it if only there was a telescope powerful enough.As the years went by and no spaceship arrived, the narrative of Heavens Gate evolves, especially after Bonnie Lu dies of cancer and then in the mid-90's the Hale Bopp comet arrives in the night sky and for the members of Heavens Gate this can only mean one possible thing, the spaceship has finally arrived to take them off planet Earth and away to the promised land.They all believed that to reach the spaceship they had to leave their human 'vessels' behind and one by one they recorded goodbye messages and then committed mass suicide.

In this weeks episode we are going back to the '80's where apparently it was acceptable... We take up the case that inspired one of the storylines of AHS Roanoke, the case of the lethal lovers, Cathy Wood and Gwen Graham, two young nurses who concocted a game of murder that would interlink and entwine them forever.... and five days.Back in 1987 these two young women met at the nursing home they worked at and began dating. The relationship quickly became toxic and abusive and within a matter of months Gwen had had enough and left Cathy with her new girlfriend and moved thousands of miles away back to her home town in Texas. A year later Cathy would make a somewhat unbelievable confession to her ex-husband which would lead to a shocking discovery by police. One of multiple murder of the elderly patients they were supposed to be caring for, and the callous game of trying to spell out MURDER with the first names of each of their victims. This is one of those cases that leaves you wondering who was telling the truth and was the right woman convicted? Have a listen and let us know what you think.Support BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to the 1890's. This week we are taking you back to the Chicago World Fair and the murder mansion of H H Holmes, the inspiration for American Horror Story Season 5, Hotel. In this huge case we cover the life and crimes of Dr. Holmes, a habitual criminal who would stop at nothing to make money. His MO was to take out life insurance policies on all who came into contact with him, kill them and claim the insurance money. However he would go down in history as the cunning brain behind the vast hotel he built for the World's Columbian Exposition which attracted thousands of people from all over the country and would need a place to stay. As his story unravelled, the police would search this building to find some of the rooms had gas pipes to gas people to death, some had spy holes and some of the rooms even had a chute that led straight down to the basement where Holmes would dispose of the bodies in his incinerator or quick lime. This hotel was a bit of a maze, where you would find a staircase leading to nowhere or a room with no door, the stuff of nightmares. We hope you will join us on this incredible story, thanks for listening!Please kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!https://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

This week's case is based on AHS Season 4, Freak Show and we have chosen to cover the life of Joseph Merrick, stage name The Elephant Man. As a child Joseph was a happy if somewhat shy little boy who was extremely close with his mother. However as he grew he started to show signs of physical deformities, starting with a small growth on his forehead. Over the years the growth became so big that he started to wear a sack over his head as the very sight of him would instil fear and terror into those whose saw him. Eventually his whole body would be consumed with skin and bone abnormalities which left the young man with very few options and following the death of his beloved mother he had no option other than the workhouse. These places were notoriously grim and were no more than a last choice before living on the streets and begging. He lived here for a number of years until one day he heard of a travelling show where he could earn good money exhibiting himself. Thus followed years of living with the showmen and fellow performers, in various freak shows and exhibitions where he could finally live an independent life. Sadly his conditions would take over to the point where he moved in with a physician, Sir Frederick Treves, at the London Hospital. Here he was introduced to London high society and even had a trip to the theatre. His life ended tragically early and he was discovered dead from asphyxiation, caused by the weight of his head as he lay down, and a dislocated neck at the age of 27.
