The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast

At some point in our lives, we all tell a lie or two. Mostly little ones, embellishments. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in a bit of deja vu, we are back down in Surrey to the mid 2000's, to hear the unbelieveable tale of an individual whose whole life seemed to be carried on lies. The most callous lies you can imagine. But, can lies get you away with cold blooded murder? S...

We head back to the late 1990's, and to the town of Warrington, in Cheshire, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a sordid tale of sex, deceit - and brutal, pre-meditated murder. In fact, it's a tale that could almost be a television drama, certainly something scripted - and indeed, it has it's genesis in the theatre. It's one you likely won't forget in a hurry, either. The e...

This episode brings the second and concluding part of the story of Abigail Witchalls on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where this time around we shall hear the reasons that by November 2005, Surrey Police had declared the case closed. Except that there had been no arrests, no charges brought, and no trial. How so? The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving de...

We head back to 2005, and to the Surrey village of Little Bookham this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for the first of a two part tale in which we hear the terrible events, and the aftermath, of what happened to mother of one Abigail Witchalls, walking home with her toddler son one pleasant April afternoon.... The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, i...

A truly horrific tale comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, as we are off back to 2015 and to the West Midlands town of Walsall, to hear of a trusting, vulnerable young woman who did nothing except see the good in the world. Sadly, for all the good that there is - there is evil also. And sometimes, that evil may come from somewhere you feel safe, and from someone you trust....

A pair of tales come this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where we first head up to a town in Greater Manchester to learn of the exploits of a horrific and depraved sex attacker - one who made the jump to savage sex killer. And following that, the crimes of another individual who, well, who knows how best to label that one? Serial killer could be a good one - the self styled "Ang...

Fire - the most consuming, most destructive of all the elements. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we look at a pair of tales where this most destructive element was used to horrific consequences. Out of misguided rage, and unfathomable revenge. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of events involving children, that some li...

The tranquility of a North East village was shattered one morning back in April 1989, with a series of events that brought the North Tyneside village of Monkseaton the darkest day in it's history. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we look back at the events that unfolded. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including that of a sexual nature, tha...

The concluding part to the opening tale of series 7 of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here, where last time, we were left with a face and the name of the individual who had struck such terror across the north and north - west of the UK, in an apalling campaign of sex attacks, that he had earned himself the title of "Britain's Most Wanted" An individual named Andrew Longmire. Dangerous eno...

A warm welcome back to the new series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where we open up Series 7 with the first part of a look back at an unfamiliar, long forgotten case from the 1980's. Which is a surprising description, because the events concerned within the tale are truly horrific ones - and were to lead to the individual bestowed with the title of "Britain's Most Wanted" It's good to be...

Once again, I've sat down with a spare half an hour, and have gone back through the tales that have made up Series 6 of the show, and once again like the shit DVD Extras and commentary that no one ever really listens to, have given my own thoughts and feelings, perhaps a bit of an aside here and there also, to each case we have covered this year on the regular show in a rough as a badgers arse, to...

The concluding part of the Series 6 finale tale from The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here, continuing from the events we heard in the first part - where we met a young woman named India Eve Chipchase - who sadly, back in 2016, never made it home from a Friday night out in Northampton. So let's meet the man - India's Good Samaritan - who stood accused of her rape and murder, for his trial -...

On a night out, we can all enjoy ourselves - and we can all sometimes have that bit too much to drink. Usually, we have our mates there to help us out, to stick by us. But occasionally we get separated - I'm sure it has happened to most of us in our lives. So occasionally then, we may need to rely on the kindness of others - a Good Samaritan if you like. And most of the time, this is what they are...

No crime should ever happen, but for the penultimate episode of Series 6 of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head back to 2016 and to the West Midlands market town of Bilston, to hear of a horrendous - a truly horrific crime, that really shouldn't have. Because it could have been prevented. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including that of a sexual nature,...

We began a two part tale last time here on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which looked at an armed robbery in a small post office in a rural North Yorkshire village. The second such robbery in almost a year, in what could have been a carbon copy of the first. Except this one ended in the brutal murder of the postmistress, Diana Garbutt. Or did it? The tale is courtesy of Jess Carter, host of t...

I have the pleasure of bringing you a tale that has had the Outlines treatment, courtesy of Jess Carter, as we head back to March of 2010 this time - and next time around - on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a strange tale that for a great deal of it, so many things about it don't add up. It's a controversial case, one that still today divides a community, one that I would imagine will make...

A horrendous and very sad tale comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, a tale where we learn that the ultimate darkness is sometimes never far from the surface... The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes against children, that some listeners may find offensive, disturbing, and or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening....

We head to the UK county of Derbyshire, and back to the early 1960's, for our tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast. It's a tale that surely should be more familiar than it is, and spans a number of years, even jumps to a different country - and all begins with a crashed "Bubble" car...... The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving references...

A reach into the show's Patreon back catalogue comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast - a tale that takes us back the mid 1970's, for a tragic, horrific yet unfamiliar case that's a real prime example of when pressure, when it keeps building and building, sometimes leads people to snap - sometimes resulting in the most extreme, horrific circumstances you can imagine.    The ep...

A massive thank you to you all for getting the show into year 5 now - to say thanks, here is the voted for Patreon episode that I traditionally share for the show's birthday. We are off back to the 1980's, to Leicestershire, for a horrendous case that I really, really hope doesn't have repercussions somewhere down the line... Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod. All music us...

The culmination of the Thriller arc of this series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here in this final episode, where we see just what David Mulcahy's conviction meant for so many - the victims, as well as the side of law and order. We catch up with developments over the twenty plus years since the conviction, and i give my own thoughts and feedback concerning the entire arc. The multi p...

In the penultimate episode of this series' Thriller arc, we now have David John Mulcahy stood in the dock, accused of countless horrendous crimes. The evidence against him was strong - yet nothing stronger than the words of his former best friend, John Francis Duffy, who stood just feet away from him - but this time, in the witness box, giving evidence. This then, is Taller and Shorter - but would...

We are edging towards the conclusion of the Thriller multi episode arc right now - an arc that has seen multiple rapes, three horrific murders, the largest investigation of it's kind for years, groundbreaking investigative tools - and finally, we have seen Shorter - John Francis Duffy - brought to justice. Except that still leaves one loose end, doesn't it? Let's see if that loose end could be tie...

When we left the Thriller arc last time, in their hunt for the multiple rapists and suspected single triple killer, police had just utilised the services of Professor David Canter, who helped Operation Trinity with the then groundbreaking investigative tool of the psychological profile. Sure enough, it was near enough right on the money, and when applied to the suspect pool, made one name jump rig...

As we pass the midway point of the Thriller arc, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, with countless rapes and two, but a suspected three murders linked to Operation Trinity, by this stage, police turned to an as yet untested, ground-breaking new investigative tool in the hunt for the two individuals we have come to know as Taller and Shorter. The results of it were to prove asto...
