Summary
In 2012 Kathleen Valle started to become suspicious of her New York City police officer husband Gilberto.
He was spending all of his time on the computer, and Kathleen, who had just had their baby was afraid he was being unfaithful.
When she finally broke and checked his online activity - what she found was far more horrifying than anything she had imagined.
Gilberto Valle had been on cannibal fetish forums talking to strangers about how he wanted to abduct, rape, torture, kill and eat women - including Kathleen.
In the trial, and the media frenzy, that followed - the question became; when does a thought become a crime?

| 0:07.0 | I'm Hannah, I'm Sarootty, and welcome to episode 100 of Redhanded. Isn't that absolutely |
| 0:30.6 | nuts? Yes, I feel like 100 episodes, triple figures. How did we get here? And if you think |
| 0:37.1 | about the ones we've deleted and the bonus ones, take your ones like God knows how many |
| 0:41.0 | we've actually done. I don't know how many we've actually done. We're beyond 100. But |
| 0:45.2 | officially, as it stands, 100 episodes. How exciting. 100 whole episodes. But to kick off |
| 0:53.9 | our 100th episode, first of all, we'd like to say a massive thank you to every single |
| 0:59.4 | one of you for making this all possible. Without you, it would just be us swearing into the |
| 1:05.0 | abyss. And because of you and your lovely ears, this show has completely changed our lives. |
| 1:11.4 | We started Redhanded because we, and some of you already know this story, we got drunk |
| 1:16.0 | at a party nearly two years ago. And yeah, we actually went and did the thing that we said |
| 1:21.4 | we were going to do when we were drunk, which is amazing in itself. I think it's Ernest |
| 1:24.9 | Hemingway, who said, you should always do what you say you're going to do drunk because |
| 1:30.3 | it'll teach you to keep your mouth shut. I love it. We're throwing around a lot of literary |
| 1:33.9 | quotes these days, aren't we? We really are. We've leveled up. It's by getting hamlet |
| 1:39.4 | horribly wrong. No one's corrected us yet. The episode hasn't gone out yet. That's why. |
| 1:45.4 | Honestly, though, in the two years since Redhanded has been up and running, we've had some |
| 1:51.7 | amazing things happen to us. We've been in the top 10 at the British Podcasts Awards |
| 1:56.0 | for the listeners' choice. We will flow out to LA in New York. We've been on Harman |
| 2:00.4 | Town. We did a collab with Tracy Clayton. We love you, Tracy. And so many more exciting |
| 2:06.2 | things are coming up this year. And on that note, you might remember at the end of last |
