It was puzzling, to say the least. Following a tip-off, officers from the Nottinghamshire constabulary were dispatched to an address on Blenheim Close. Located in Forest Town, a former mining village in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, the brick-built semi-detached two storey home sits on the corner of a quiet cul-de-sac close to public walkways and green grassland. On that autumn day in 2013, officers slowly filtered through the backdoor into the garden… (Part 1 of 2).
Launching on Tuesday, September 28, 2021. The award-winning team that created ‘They Walk Among Us’, featuring true crime cases from the UK, now bring their unique and bone-chilling podcast across the pond. This is ‘They Walk Among America’ - a new, true-crime podcast covering tales of murder and mystery in the United States.
Proving once again that true crime is not just a modern fascination, a crowd had amassed early at 4 am on that winter morning of December 6, 1922, desperate to witness the trial. Members of the public pushed and prodded as they fought to get in. Every spectator was hopeful of gaining a ringside seat in the courtroom. Some people paid for the privilege, handing over large sums of cash, which would be £250 in today's money…
“You behaved how you did despite the serious nature of the charge your sons faced and persisted in attempts to give them a false alibi for two months. Not even a mother is entitled to lie with impunity to save her sons who she knows to have been involved in a terrible crime” — Judge Clement Goldstone QC, Liverpool Crown Court, April 2013

An 18-year-old student goes missing after a night out clubbing. Almost a week would elapse before his body was discovered in a river eight miles from where he was last seen being chased by a gang of youths. Arrests were made, and a trial date was set. But why did he die?…
PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 6 - EPISODE 9’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. Patrick Mackay was arrested in March 1975. He was suspected of murdering Isabella Griffiths, Adele Price and Father Anthony Crean. But while he was being held on remand in Brixton prison, Mackay told a fellow inmate he was locked up for murdering 11 people. He repeated this story to anyone that would listen including inquiring officers. Perhaps it was just a boastful claim. However, it was curious considering Mackay was awaiting trial for three murders. Who were these other victims? (Part 2 of 2).
Before he passed away, Harold whispered to his 10-year-old son Patrick, "Remember to be good” (Part 1 of 2).

His actions were clear and had one aim - prevent at all costs his wife leaving the house and seeking help” — Prosecutor Matthew Roberts, Swansea Crown Court, February 2021
