Crime Time with My Bestie

BIG DAY BESTIES.... It's our first cult episode!!!Now you may or may not have heard of this cult before, we sure hadn't! We are covering the cult Aum Shinrikyo and their continuous attacks on the Tokyo public. This cult leader has copied and pasted all of the cult stereotypes and then doubled them! Let us know what you think of his 'leadership skills' and if there are any other cul...

Hello Besties! We are back for a new episode and this time Jess has dived back into the world of Spies! If you didn't get enough from the Isdal Woman this episode we are covering the case of Gareth Williams, an MI6/GCHQ Agent found dead under incredibly suspicious circumstances. Did Gareth take his own life, or was there a third party -we would love to know your verdict! Podcast Artwork by Kit...

Well hello Besties! This episode's case was a big one in the UK in the mid 2010s so naturally neither me, nor Jess remember it (we promise we do pay attention to true crime) Whilst most documentaries and sources take a straightforward approach, I've decided to keep you guess with this one... can you work out the cliffhanger? Let us know in the comments if you knew the case or if I'm no...

Getting this episode out was ROUGH! But we are here… if a bit late. We surpassed the milestone of 21 episodes and are here with episode 22 covering the mysterious case of The Isdal Woman! A case with so many conspiracy theories they would need an episode each to cover - this case is truly strange! We are currently releasing an episode every 3 weeks whilst we navigate this rather tumultuous period...

HI BESTIESSSSSS!!!! We made it to our goal! Anna once heard that only 1% of podcasts make it to their 21st episode so she made it our mission to get there (and beyond)! And we did it! Feels good to be part of the 1%! Did you guess that the case connected to the Black Dahlia was the Zodiac Killer? We know almost every podcast has covered it at some point, but let us take you on the journey of the Z...

Besties! We are back and covering what could be our first 'big' case - or at least a very well known one! In a special double connection episode for Episode 20 and 21 we are bringing our weird and wonderful take on the infamous case of Elizabeth Short or also known as The Black Dahlia murder! We are super excited to be covering such a famous case and hope that we do it justice for all our True Cri...

TWO SUPERNATURAL CASES IN A ROW!! Honestly, we wouldn't have been able to make that happen if we'd actually tried. I bet you've heard of the Witch Trials in the 1600s but have you heard of the werewolf trials? Around a similar time to the witch trials there were people being accused of being werewolves! Were they scapegoats for bigger political issues, serial killers, or completely innocent people...

It's Wednesday! And we are back with Episode 18. Keeping on with our theme from last episode we are diving back into a Supernatural case with our very first Ghost!

This episode's case is a little different to the kind we normally cover. (Intrigued?) The birth of your daughter is probably the happiest time in your life, right? Well this was the case for Luz Cuevas and Pedro Vera, until tragedy struck just 10 days later - a house fire that started in their daughter Delimar's bedroom, quickly claiming her life! Fast forward 6 years, and Luz sees a child that lo...

Episode 16 is here! Anna was highly disappointed in Jess's Teasers from last episode with 'First' - but it truly is FIRST as this episode we discuss the Murders of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth, the first case solved by DNA Fingerprinting! We hope you enjoy this episode and our new additional blooper reels! Don't forget you can also follow us on Instagram and TikTok where we are Cri...

Helloooooo Besties!! Imagine for a second you're married and you have been since you were young, but you decide you're going to have an affair. Going to hotels is too suspicious, and you don't want your neighbours noticing the same guy coming round every day, so what do you do? Well Dolly Oesterreich thinks she has the perfect solution... you keep him in your attic, obviously! But unfo...

HI BESTIEEEEEEES! We are so sorry to disappoint our wonderful Besties out there with no episode today, but we decided to take a short break over the festive period to... well.. sleep!

Keep an eye on our socials as we will still be dropping some content for you to enj...

Our 13th episode! Does this mean we're no longer baby podcasters? Do you ever write down a really important note and then loose it in a stack of other paperwork. Well this is essentially what was happening with the archaic filing system the UK had until this case. This case is bad from many angles BUT with the new updates to their systems the police managed to track down serial killer Robert Black...

It's our Pre-Teen episode and we are covering the Death of April Tucker. A case that seemed so cut and dry, soon unravels and has some serious questions over its investigation and the decisions and work conducted by the Pathologist as to the true killer of 5 year old April Tucker. Jess was fully convinced her epic research and suspense building notes would make this case mysterious - but does...

So you've committed an awful crime, but you've got away with it for years. What's the logical thing to do now? Keep quiet? Well not Krystian Bala who decided to write a novel with a storyline suspiciously similar to the crimes he committed. I don't think that was his best plan. Tune in to find out exactly how he went about it and how he thought he could cover it up... no one would suspect someone...

This week we are going back to explore the weird and curious case of Agneta Westlund, and the circumstances surrounding her death in 2008. Was the killer in plain sight, or was it hidden in the depths of the Swedish woodland. Tune in to find out!

Did you know that punishments for crimes were a lot harsher 100 years ago? Convicted criminals would dream of being locked up. However this was not the fate for Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi, the Marrakesh Arch-Killer. Mesfewi killed 36 women in 1906 in Marrakesh. Once his crimes were discovered, he was subject to torture, humiliation and a brutal execution via immurement, the act of walling someone in a...

Episode 7 feels like a good time to introduce some puns to the podcast! Did you know that there was a seedy 'udder' belly of cheese crimes? Well I've got some 'gouda' new for you, this episode we are covering 2 cases of large scale cheese heists! One from New Zealand and one from England. Who knew cheese crime was so widespread! And there are no trigger warnings this episode (except possibly puns)...

Did you miss us! We are back to fill your ears with the highs (which in this case are Annas squeaks of disbelief) and very very lows of this weeks case.

Be warned this case does have a lot of dark information that some listeners may f...

And just like that it's Episode 4! Can you believe it because we can't!! This week we are covering the murder of Fabio Sementilli, the murder itself is not what makes this case so wild, but instead all the goings on behind the scenes! Listen now to hear Anna having multiple melt downs - all at a respectful distance from the microphone we promise. Trigger Warnings Information of a graphic n...
