John Kealty travelled to Mexico to write a travel guide in the style of a Lonely Planet guide twenty years before they were a thing. It did not end well.
This case is in living memory. Going back to 1974. Egon Von Bulow's parents came from South America, had him while in the UK, then left him when they went back home. Not an ideal start for him. He grew up anti authoritarian. He shot three policemen and committed other crimes after seemingly losing control during July 1974. He could be living near you today.
This case happened in Egypt in 1950, so just about in Living memory. It was a difficult time for British-Egyptian relations. When three soldiers were involved in a murder and tried by a British Court Martial, all politicians tried not to get involved as it was easier for all involved to bury an awkward problem.

Two recent tragic killings from West Sussex. Both preventable, both the result partly of council cuts. These stories are told in one take in lo-fi. Here are the end stories of Stephanie Marie and Nimroy Hendricks, their lives ending just as they were beginning.
The story of Reverend Davidson, the vicar of Stiffkey dominated the newspapers in the early 1930s. This is the story.
The Lion and Albert, By Stanley Holloway was a comic monologue inspired by actual events they had heard about in 1932. The events in this podcast happened in 1937. Nevertheless, I have put the lyrics here for anyone unfamiliar with the verse.

Brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad were tried for assault at Liverpool Crown Court.

This is a short podcast about a case that was reported this week. Jennifer Abbott was murdered on around 10 June. Police originally thought she had been targeted by drug addicts. But the truth seemed a little more unusual. Recorded in a couple of hours in lo-fi and without editing.
A story that rambles on about the murder of Worthing based amateur archaeologist John Pull on 10 November 1960. He was shot in a bank being raided by teenagers. There is an interesting contrast between John Pull who contributed so much during his life, compared to the nihilistic life style of those responsible for his death. His wannabe gangster killer actually claimed to be a reincarnation of the long dead American g...
A forgotten murder that took place in Middlesborough during December 1972. A vicious murder for the sake of a few pounds so the killer could place some bets at the Bookies. RIP Nellie Tighe.
Hello anyone reading or listening to this. Sorry it has been so long since my last pod. This case dates back to 1961 but it is an interesting case, virtually forgotten today. It is set in the East End of London when three policeman were shot by an angry man who had argued with his wife.
There is no editing and all is in lo-fi.
The Helen Duncan seances at Portsmouth during WW2, allegedly called the spirit of a sailor who died aboard the HMS Barham which had been lost with almost 900 onboard. The spirit sailor told Duncan of the loss. It was top secret and nobody was supposed to have knowledge of it, so was this proof that spirits called at the séance were genuine?
Well of course not, but other documentaries on the subject were coy about te...
Pathological jealousy, Sandbanks, Dorset murder.
This case dates from 1972, it is an unknown case, I can find no information about it online.
The information comes from files in the National Archives. The podcast is told in one take and there is no editing. I think there is some frog and sparrow noise in the background. I will attempt a change of subject matter for the next pod.
I am sure nobody listening would have ever heard about this case. The actual case files will not be released until 2057, 100 years plus after the case so there is something to be kept secret.
It is a short podcast, with a lot of padding because there is no information. Recorded in lo-fi in one take with no editing. I will post some photos on the F/B site, not however the corpses which were quite horrifying.

A dreadful story about how three young men in their 20s, fashionable Mods found themselves crossing a line and ruining their lives, killing others with a series of bad decisions in the Swinging London of 1968.
