Summary

Donna takes listeners back to 17th-century Paisley, Scotland, unraveling the chilling witch trials surrounding young Christian Shaw and the hysteria that gripped an entire town. What began as a child’s accusation spiraled into executions, fear, and a dark chapter of Scottish history that still lingers today. Kerri covers the disturbing crimes of William Suff, known as The Riverside Prostitute Killer, whose reign of violence exposed terrifying gaps in how vulnerable victims were overlooked. The case examines his methods, the investigation that finally stopped him, and the devastating impact left in his wake.
