MICROBREW: The Soham Murders

from Homebrew Murder Crew

In this episode, we revisit one of the UK’s most haunting criminal cases—the Soham murders—and the man at its center, Ian Huntley. Through a careful, compassionate retelling, we explore how Huntley embedded himself in a small community, the warning signs that were overlooked, and the devastating impact of his actions on two families and an entire nation. We also examine the systemic failures that allowed him to evade scrutiny for so long, and how the case reshaped safeguarding policies across the UK. This is a story about trust betrayed, lives forever changed, and the urgent need to understand how predators hide in plain sight.SOURCES: TBA Hosted on Acast.

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
