'Bigfoot's 96 Hours Of Carnage

Four days – almost a full working week for the majority. 96 hours, for some, it will fly by, for others, it may feel like the clock may go backwards. Over one such period back in the autumn of 2000, Worcestershire and West Midlands Police found themselves dealing with some of the most brutal, senseless, and horrifying killings that both the force areas, and the UK, has ever seen – all committed by the same person. This time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you the tale of the crimes committed by an individual who was a spree killer – or, who may even have been a serial one… The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of substance abuse and addiction, and disturbing descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

The Offfering Of Sundown And Allegra

Satanism, Black Magic, and Devil Worshipping are terms that have been around since the Middle Ages. In the majority of cases today, people who follow this do so somewhat out of boredom, it drawing something in their angry, perhaps somewhat confused selves that they feel may be that edge that they need to express their inner feelings. And in most cases, it will go no further than a dabble with the ideology or symbolism, before they find it’s not really for them, they see the light, and leave it behind. In some cases, they will maintain a lifelong commitment to Satan, but never going further than pronouncing that they follow his teachings. But in some extreme cases, such as in Germany, in 2001 - the tale I have brought this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast – the odd one or two go that bit further, and prove just how committed to Satan they really are… The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, and instances of racist speech, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

A Homage To The Loved Ones

The girl, dressed in a pretty pink dress, poses for a photograph sat on the knee of a young man, smartly dressed in a tuxedo. They could be any young couple, but are not, for whilst she smiles broadly, he cannot, through pain, and inability. She then approaches the young man in the tuxedo, and brandishing a knife, proceeds to mutilate his chest with it, carving her initials into him. She then approaches him with a cellar of salt, and his terrified eyes widen as she pours it into the wound…. Sounds like a bad movie? It is, it’s a scene from a 2009 Australian horror movie called The Loved Ones – except that in 2012, in the English city of Chester, someone thought life should imitate art….

The Lost Girls: Part 9 - Jennifer

The new red bicycle had fast become her pride and joy, all of her friends had seen it, and one sunny afternoon in August 1981, nine year old Jennifer Cardy set off from her home in Ballinderry to cycle the short distance to show the first friend she had it again, so excited was she. As a small Datsun van passed her as she did, Jennifer had no idea that a predator, a monster, was waiting for her. It would take thirty years, but the wheels of justice did eventually turn for Jennifer, and the individual who made her the Lost Girl we haven't yet mentioned through the arc finally stood in the dock. He needs no introduction, or is deserving of her name being spoken. This is Jennifer's story. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including disturbing descriptions of a sexual nature and involving children, that some listeners may find extremely disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

The Lost Girls: Part 6 - Paper Chase

'That's our man. I'd bet my life on it' These are the words of Assistant Chief Constable Hector Clark back in July 1990, moments after the initial, briefest of meetings with the man he was describing here, who just over a month later, was serving a sentence of life imprisonment for an almost carbon copy crime to the series he and his team had been investigating for eight years by then.

The Lost Girls: Part 5 - The Survivor

It was a simple, quick detour to avoid prying eyes - and it was fortunate that it was just that too, a quick detour, for if it wasn't, then perhaps Teresa Thornhill wouldn't be here today. That evening in Nottingham in April 1988, she very certainly only narrowly escaped the clutches of death, thanks in part to the survivor she was. Because she was the survivor, her evidence would later be crucial in bringing to a very definite end the reign of arguably, Britain's most prolific child killer. This is Teresa's story.

Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.

The Girl In The Ground - Part 2

Concluding the horrifying and tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, the girl snatched whilst cycling home in Germany in 1981, only to be found 17 days later in the most nightmarish of circumstances. Though it was to take almost 27 years, in 2008 the wheels of justice finally began to turn for Ursula and her family. Except that once they had, the case became perhaps more controversial than it was before - with no one feeling this more strongly than Ursula's family.Ā  Concluding a tale you'll never forget.Ā  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including a description of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
