Episode 311 - Bhagwan Rajneesh: The Rolls-Royce Driving Sex Guru
17 augustus 2023 · 1 uur 7 min
In July 1981, the 40 residents of Antelope, Oregon watched on in bemusement as their rural village was descended upon by an Indian guru and thousands of his followers. Lees meer
Little did they know at the time, that these maroon-robed chanting hippies and their money-loving spiritual leader would go on to overthrow the local government, attempt wide-scale voter fraud, plot to fill a plane with explosives and eventually, carry out the most significant act of bioterrorism in US history.
This is the real story of Bhagwan Rajneesh, and how he managed to amass a global following of devotees who were ready to do anything for him…

Episode 309 - Thabo Bester: Twisted Firestarter
3 augustus 2023 · 49 min
At 2am, on the 3rd of May last year – inmates at Mangaung prison in Bloemfontein, South Africa, were woken up by an explosion. Word spread that Thabo Bester, the infamous “Facebook Rapist”, had set himself and his cell on fire. And all that remained after the dramatic blaze were a lighter, and a body, burnt beyond recognition. But that’s far from the end of the story. Lees meer
With daily revelations from the trial still hitting headlines, expect a farcical morgue-robbing scheme, a massive-scale web of fraud conducted from inside a prison cell, and a glamorous celebrity doctor who’s not quite what she seems.

Episode 308 - Christine 'Chris Chan' Chandler: Lifelong Lolcow
27 juli 2023 · 41 min
Graphic Sonic fanfiction, a botched DIY sex change, incest and relentless psychosexual trolling are just some of the hallmarks of Christine Weston Chandler's story. As one of the most documented people in history – with 2,500 Wiki articles covering everything from school reports to her parents’ friends – her almost biblical tale leaves little to the imagination. Yet most people have never heard of her. Lees meer
Despite decades of online abuse, manipulation, and even extortion, the majority of those who do know about the infamous ‘Chis Chan’ see her as little more than an internet joke. Yet her real life is one of the most saddening and downright bizarre we are ever likely to cover.

Episode 307 - Warren Jeffs: Bleeding the Beast - Part 2
20 juli 2023 · 47 min
Last week, we looked at the formation of the ultra-obedient, bigamist Mormon cult, the FLDS – in which plural marriage to pregnant preteen girls is just the tip of the fundamentalist iceberg. In this second part, we look at how its new prophet, Warren Jeffs, took his so-called religion to ever stricter and more terrifying depths. Lees meer
With followers so beaten down that they were banned from even laughing; the prophet on the lam, living it up at Disneyland; and a team of ex-faithfuls and dogged investigators closing in – something had to give. But not before the full extent of his evil was laid bare in front of a stunned courtroom.
-
Episode 306 - Warren Jeffs: God’s Chosen People - Part 1
13 juli 2023 · 1 uur 4 min
According to Warren Jeffs’ thousands of followers, he was the leader of a secretive but devoted religion – their prophet, and the representative of God on Earth. But according to US law, he was a dangerous, totalitarian, child-molesting horror with over 80 wives – some married off as young as 12. Still, according to the church, Earthly laws are no match for the voice of God. Lees meer
In this episode, we explore the story behind the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: how the visions of a charismatic, seventeen-year-old farmhand grew to become a major world religion; how plural marriage caused a major rift in the church; and how its teachings were warped into a systematic cult of child abuse, underage sex, and absolute power.

Natalia Grace: The Orphan | #305
6 juli 2023 · 1 uur 18 min
In 2009, the horror movie Orphan told the story of a couple who take in a creepy child from a Russian orphanage who – spoiler alert – turns out to be a psychopathic adult woman. Lees meer
And just a year after the film’s release, real life seemed to echo fiction when the Barnetts, a wealthy American family, adopted a 6-year-old girl named Natalia Grace from Ukraine…Only to abandon her and flee to Canada within just 3 years.
Why? Because according to the Barnetts, Natalia – who had a rare form of dwarfism – wasn’t a little girl at all. She was actually a 22-year-old woman dead-set on killing their whole family.
In this hotly-disputed case, we explore the allegations, the evidence, and how one girl found herself at the centre of one of the weirdest true-crime mysteries in recent memory.
Let’s just say that in this story, nothing is quite as it seems…

The Richardson Family Murders: Groomed to Kill | #304
29 juni 2023 · 1 uur 6 min
Violently stabbed to death in their own home, the bodies of Debra and Marc Richardson showed signs of a desperate struggle. Upstairs lay the body of their 8-year-old son, Tyler. Their 12-year-old daughter, Jasmine, was nowhere to be found. Lees meer
Believing they were investigating a brutal home invasion, police launched a race against time to find the missing girl…
What they uncovered instead was a deeply disturbing case involving manipulation, fantasy, and a relationship that should never have existed – between a vulnerable tween goth and her allegedly centuries-old werewolf ‘boyfriend’.
Tried alongside 23-year-old predator Jeremy Steinke, Jasmine Richardson became the youngest person ever convicted of multiple murder in Canada, in a case the country would never forget.

The Grenfell Tower Fire: Failed By The State | #302
15 juni 2023 · 1 uur 7 min
On 14th June 2017, a catastrophic fire engulfed Grenfell Tower, a high-rise residential building in West London. Lees meer
72 people died, including 18 children. The tragedy became one of the darkest days in recent British history.
But worst of all? A damning public inquiry found that the disaster – and the loss of life – was completely avoidable.

8 juni 2023 · 52 min
In our second instalment exploring one of music’s biggest true-crime mysteries, we turn the spotlight on Christopher Latore Wallace – better known as Biggie Smalls, or the Notorious B.I.G. Lees meer
Lyrically gifted, privately educated and no stranger to a little crack dealing, Biggie became the face of the prestigious East Coast rap scene at the height of its deadliest era.

FROM THE VAULT - Kathleen Folbigg & Patricia Stallings: Mothers Not Killers | #257
5 juni 2023 · 55 min
With the news that Kathleen Folbigg has finally been pardoned, we wanted to help you revisit this case, and Kathleen's incredibly tragic story by re-uploading our episode from August 2022. Lees meer

Today the girls delve into two unbelievable miscarrriages of justice – mothers wrongfully convicted of killing their children – which highlight the immense challenges of the intersection between science and justice in the courtroom.
And discover how a series of bizarre circumstances and medical anomalies could have led to the deaths of 5 babies and the imprisonment of two women.

Tupac & Biggie Part 1: Hip-Hop's Deadliest Feud | #300
1 juni 2023 · 1 uur 4 min
In the 1990s, hip-hop’s most legendary beef turned deadly. Lees meer
As the East Coast-West Coast rap feud spiralled out of control, Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. became targets in a war driven by clashing egos, heated rivalry and gang violence.
Within six months of each other, both were killed in drive-by shootings. No one has ever been convicted for their murders.
In the first of our two-part series, we’re lifting the lid on Tupac Shakur: poet, provocateur, and poster boy of the West Coast hip-hop scene, who met his end in a blaze of bullets in Las Vegas.

Episode 299 - La Maison de L'Horreur: The Dupont de Ligonnès Family Murder
25 mei 2023 · 44 min
When five members of the cheery, churchgoing Dupont de Ligonnès family were found dead at their home in Nantes – buried in the garden with small Catholic relics – a million questions erupted from neighbours, family and friends. Lees meer
But for the police, only one question mattered: where was the sixth? Xavier Dupont de Ligonnès was nowhere to be found. And as they dug into his past, they uncovered a story that’s obsessed the nation of France for years: one of an ancient aristocratic dynasty, of international espionage, and a crime scene that, decades later, still refuses to add up…

22 mei 2023 · 1 uur 32 min
To make sure that none of you miss out we've updated our episode on Lori Vallow to include an update on her trial! Listen to this episode and this week's episode of ShortHand for the full scoop. Lees meer
47-year-old mum of 3, Lori Vallow was convinced of two things; she was a god and the world was ending. Her job was to prepare her people for the second coming of Christ, in July 2020...
But even as her behaviour became increasingly erratic, and even as those around her started to die in mysterious ways, and even when 2 of her kids - J.J. and Tylee - vanished, it took a shockingly long time for the alarm to be raised.
By which point, it would be far too late for the missing children...

Episode 298 - Papa Doc: Haiti’s Vodou Dictator
18 mei 2023 · 53 min
What kind of leader would say of his own people that they are “meant to suffer”? Well, maybe a savage despot who claimed to be the master of the dead – a powerful sorcerer who could use vodou to raise murderous zombies at will, read minds, and even assassinate a US president… Lees meer
Francois Duvalier, known as ‘Papa Doc’, is one of the most ruthless dictators of the 20th Century, responsible for the deaths of an estimated 60,000 people, and a reign of terror that tragically reverberates through Haiti to this day.
This week Hannah and Suruthi find out how the first nation to be founded by slaves gave way to brutal Black nationalism, black magic, and decades of public savagery.

Episode 297 - Martha Moxley: Death & Dynasty
11 mei 2023 · 1 uur 3 min
On Halloween morning, 1975, in one of the most exclusive gated communities in the USA, the bludgeoned body of 15-year-old Martha Moxley was discovered on her own front lawn. The shattered pieces of the murder weapon, a six-iron golf club, were found nearby. Lees meer
The police had the body, they had the weapon, and they had a strong indication of who took her life. But this was going to be anything but an open and shut-case. Why? Because this story implicated some of the wealthiest and most powerful families in American history.

Episode 296 - Evil Genius: The ‘Pizza Bomber’
4 mei 2023 · 49 min
When delivery driver Brian Wells wound up with a bomb strapped to his neck after trying to fulfill a seemingly normal order of 2 pepperoni pizzas, local police thought their strange day had come to a dramatic end. In reality, it was the start… Lees meer
By the end of their investigation they’d have to solve a scavenger hunt, track down a woman known as “crazy Marge”, and defrost the body of a mystery man tossed inside a freezer.
This week Suruthi and Hannah deliver one of the most bizarre cases in American history, and try to unbox the truth behind the ‘Pizza Bomber’.

Episode 295 - The Christchurch Massacre
27 april 2023 · 1 uur 6 min
On the 15th of March, 2019, a 28-year-old man walked into a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, holding a shotgun and semi-automatic rifle – and opened fire. Lees meer
And what set this story apart was not just its brutality, but also the way it was staged – from the internet, for the internet. The gunman had strapped a GoPro to his helmet, and was streaming every second of the Christchurch shooting over Facebook Live. And just before he entered Al-Noor mosque, he said to his online audience: “Remember lads, subscribe to PewDiePie.”
We look at online radicalisation, the deep internet meta-humour that was littered through the manifesto – and the role of platforms like 8chan and YouTube in the rise of far-right terrorism.

24 maart 2023 · 46 min
From Copernicus to Newton, the greatest minds in history have had a crater named after them on the moon. But one name you may not know is Jack Parsons, a pioneer of rocket science whose contributions were so monumental that man wouldn’t have set foot on the moon without him. Lees meer
However, his sex-crazed occultism and bromance with L. Ron Hubbard made it hard for the scientific community to embrace him, leading to his eponymous crater being placed on the dark side of the moon.

The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast.

2 februari 2023 · 1 uur 15 min

Episode 282 - Jeffrey Epstein: Foul Play - Part 2
26 januari 2023 · 1 uur 18 min
In 2009, having served just 13 months of the cushiest jail sentence this side of Scandinavia, Jeffrey Epstein was free – and legally protected from any future punishment. But there were hundreds of people that knew what he really was: a dangerous, influential and insatiable child rapist with a sophisticated network of fixers. They knew he had to be stopped. Lees meer
In this second episode of our two-parter, H&S look at the tireless legal and journalistic efforts to bring him down; go deeper into the involvement of Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew; and find out what kind of justice – if any – was served. Plus: what happened in that jail cell in 2019?

The story of Jeffrey Epstein – the billionaire financier with an industrial-scale web of child abuse implicating some of the most powerful people in the world – sounds like some half-baked conspiracy theory.
