Kill the Mood Podcast

This week, sobriety takes a backseat as we tackle a drunk mystery. Delve into the wild, chaotic, and unbelievable story of Dolly Oesterreich. Boozy tangents, bad theories, and one woman with a secret so unhinged it sounds fake (but absolutely isn’t). We’re still not detectives. Just louder, messier, and trying to solve a murder we probably shouldn’t be trusted with.

This week, we’re back with part two of the Unabomber story, after a short break, a clear head, and yes… completely sober this time. It’s Christmas Eve, the drinks are put away, and we’re diving deeper into the case of Ted Kaczynski. The escalation, the fear gripping the nation, and the cracks that finally began to form after years of unanswered questions. From the manifesto that changed everything...

This week, we’re heading into darker, and very strange territory with part one of the Unabomber. It’s Christmas, we’ve had a few drinks, and instead of switching our brains off, we’ve decided to unpack the chilling beginnings of Ted Kaczynski, the reclusive, highly intelligent, and deeply disturbed man behind one of the longest and most complex manhunts in U.S. history. From a gifted child pushed...

This week, we’re taking on a case in Florida State, that leaves a lot less room for our usual giggles. We’re delving into the life and crimes of Aileen Wuornos, a story marked by trauma, survival, and a spiral into violence that’s anything but light-hearted. We’ll walk through her turbulent upbringing, the years she spent drifting on the margins, and the murders that would make her one of the most...

This week, we’re diving into a case that is equal parts terrifying, surreal, and — for one of us, uncomfortably close to home. We’re talking about Barry Williams , later known as Harry Street. We’ll tiptoe through the escalating neighbour drama, the shocking violence that followed, and the jaw-dropping comeback decades later under a brand-new name.  So grab something warm, settle in, and join two...

Bundle up, because this week we’re heading into the icy December streets of Bristol to revisit the heartbreaking disappearance and murder of Joanna Yeates — a case that gripped the UK, baffled investigators, and sparked one of the country’s largest manhunts. We’ll walk you through the strange timeline, the mysterious pizza that never got eaten, the media frenzy that spiralled out of control, and t...

This week, we're digging into the disturbing story of Gary Ridgway, a man who became infamous as the Green River Killer. For years, he left a trail of victims across Washington State. Mostly women who were vulnerable and overlooked. Despite his shocking crimes, Ridgway blended into his community, living a seemingly average life while hiding a dark, twisted secret.  What kept Gary Ridgway in t...

This week, we’re heading to rural Cornwall, where 41-year-old Lyn Bryant set out to walk her dog and never came home. Her 1998 murder shocked the close-knit community, and decades later, her killer still hasn’t been found. Was it a random attack, or connected to Kate Bushell's eerily similar case? So pour yourself something strong, and join two girls who definitely weren’t ready for this kind...

This week, we’re crossing the Atlantic to dig into the bizarre world of Robert Durst. A millionaire heir who seemed to leave chaos in his wake. From missing wives to dismembered friends and a documentary confession caught on a hot mic, this is a story that feels too strange to be true. We’ll untangle decades of deceit, disguise, denial, and the shocking moment the mask finally slipped. So pour you...

Buckle up, because this one’s 'bout to get supernatural . We’re heading to Enfield, North London. In the late ’70s, one family’s quiet life was turned upside down by flying furniture and loose LEGO. Knocks in the night, voices from nowhere and a media frenzy that had everyone asking: was it real, or the best hoax Britain’s ever seen? So grab your torch, keep one eye on the shadows, and join u...

If Part 1 had you side-eyeing every bus stop in London… well, sorry, because it’s about to get worse. This week, we’re diving into the messy, twisty investigation that finally started to catch up with Levi Bellfield. We’ll chat about the chaos, the clues that didn’t quite add up, and how one man’s ego became his undoing. So top up that cuppa (or pour something stronger, you’ll need it), and join u...

Head to West London as we dig into the twisted story of Levi Bellfield, the charming, controlling, and cold-blooded killer who terrorised women across the city. We’ll unpack the terrifying pattern of violence that spread across London, and the parts of the investigation that always seemed one step behind. So grab a cuppa (or something stronger), and join two girls who definitely aren’t detectives...

In episode five, we’re heading stateside to Austin, Texas, for a case that’s equal parts tragic, confusing, and downright infuriating. The 1991 Yoghurt Shop Murders. Botched confessions and decades of finger-pointing later. We revisit the case, but this time with answers. So pour yourself something comforting, and join two girls who are still in over their heads but chatting about it anyway. Becau...

In episode four, we dive into one of the UK’s most baffling unsolved cases. The broad-daylight murder of national treasure and BBC darling, Jill Dando. It’s got everything: a media frenzy, a questionable conviction, and conspiracy theories coming out its ears. Dodgy agent? Wrong place, very wrong time? The Queen? Honestly, no one seems to know...including us. So grab a cuppa or something stronger,...

Head back to 1960s Glasgow as we unravel the mystery of the smooth-talking, scripture-quoting serial killer known only as Bible John.  We’ll take you through the eerie dance hall murders, the frustratingly scarce evidence, and the theories that still haunt true crime circles today. So grab a drink (but maybe not from the Barrowland Ballroom), and join two girls who still don’t know what they’re do...

In episode two, we take a look at one of the UK’s most chaotic serial killers—Joanna Dennehy. We unravel the disturbing details of a case that left the nation reeling. There’s murder, brutality and still somehow time for a laugh. So sit back, relax, and listen to two girls who still have no idea what they’re doing... but are definitely doing it anyway.

In our very first episode, we dive into the sadistic world of the 1970s' answer to Jack the Ripper. We explore the disturbing timeline of his victims, the frustrating police failures, and—somehow—baking.  So please sit back, relax, and listen to two girls who have no idea what they’re doing, but are doing it anyway.
