  • The murder of sisters, Mary Faith and Liberty

    The murder of sisters, Mary Faith and Liberty
    Sep 23 2024
    Just a warning, this one is extra horrific and there’s a few reasons why. I won’t go into detail before we begin because it’s not a super long case and we’ll get there. But what I did want to just give you a heads up about and a little bit of a warning is that this one involves children. I do some cases that involve children or younger people and if you’re listening to this true crime podcast, I’m sure you’re used to hearing about horrific stuff- but when a case is particularly brutal or had hit me in a certain way, I do like to just give a bit of a warning. You may wanna skip this one if this is a particularly hard spot for you with it being 8 and 6 year old girls.

  • The Sicilian Inheritance

    The Sicilian Inheritance
    Sep 22 2024
    Hi friends, Something a little different to eliminate the Sunday scaries... When Jo Piazza wrote her bestselling novel The Sicilian Inheritance she loosely based it on the century old murder of her great great grandmother Lorenza Marsala in Sicily. Once the book was finished she took her entire family of five to Sicily to solve the murder in real life and the truth is even stranger than the fiction. Listen here: The Sicilian Inheritance book here: https://www.amazon.com/Sicilian-Inheritance-Novel-Jo-Piazza/dp/0593474163/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Euz1WnpJwGbPwntfE002C6N51-5Ismy98qQ2f53hByILe-vyi2UIYBYQs9St78uA.-58Flh_7D7DPem90ENEev9QjvQ-tZjgBnyAKU_C8KBI&dib_tag=se&hvadid=695458488654&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9061268&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=13128736408218319365--&hvqmt=b&hvrand=13128736408218319365&hvtargid=kwd-2318609988714&hydadcr=10058_13483892&keywords=the+sicilian+inheritance+by+jo+piazza&qid=1726933684&sr=8-1 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Lies, blackmail, and murder. The tragic death of Alex Rodda

    Lies, blackmail, and murder. The tragic death of Alex Rodda
    Sep 16 2024
    15 year old Alex Rodda headed out after school one day to go meet his friend. But when he never returned later that evening, his mum Lisa just knew something was wrong. She called all of his friends to ask if they’d seen him, and they told her he was out tonight with a boy called Matthew. But Matthew wasn’t a boy, he was an 18 year old adult. And the nature of their relationship was not friendship- instead, it was full of lies, blackmail, and ultimately murder.
