Joanne Dennehy

from What They Hide: Hidden Crimes in Plain Sight. A True Crime Podcast · host matt wray

In this episode of What They Hide: Hidden Crimes in Plain Sight, we examine the crimes of Joanne Dennehy — a woman who murdered three men, attempted to kill two others, and walked freely among the public while police searched for someone else entirely. Through a victim-centered lens, this episode traces Joanne’s escalation from calculated trust-based killings to random attacks, her arrest, interrogation, and eventual whole-life sentence. More importantly, we honor the lives of John Chapman, Kevin Lee, and Luke Walmsley, as well as the surviving victims and their families, whose stories are too often overshadowed by the perpetrator. This is not a story about notoriety — it’s a reminder of how violence can hide in plain sight, and why paying attention matters. Research for this episode was compiled using: UK court records and sentencing remarks Police statements and investigative reporting Forensic psychology analyses and expert commentary Reputable news coverage including BBC News, The Guardian, and The Independent Survivor and family statements as reported in court proceedings and interviews All information was gathered from publicly available sources and presented with respect for victims and their families. Music by MUBERT Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
