Blue Murder Club

This episode is brought to you by Carrie. This is the case of the poor souls who set out on a voyage from the continent to the UK for a better life back in October 2019 and didn't make it alive. In fact their transport became their tomb. This was a case that shocked and horrified the country, and brought to our attention the evil of the people smugglers and the callous nature of their wicked trade. How they prey on the hopes and dreams of innocent people with little regard for health or safety, and how easily people can suffocate to death on the treacherous journey.Support the show!For one time support Buy Me a Coffee:Blue Murder ClubLink to all things Blue Murder Club including all of the Socials - We look forward to hearing what you think about usbluemurderclub | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEvents:London 2026 | The Ultimate True Crime Event | CrimeCon UK - Get a tasty discount using our code BLUE and Crimecon even do a payment plan to spread the cost!

Back in 1999 Jill was a firm TV favourite appearing on many high profile BBC programmes, but most notably as one of the presenters of Crimewatch.The country was in shock when, on the morning of the 26th April 1999 the news came through that Jill had been shot dead on her doorstep. Having no leads the police did a re-enactment the following week on Crimewatch and after a year a man called Barry George was arrested and sent to prison for the murder. Following a re-trial 8 years later, Mr George was acquitted and released and there the case remains to this day, unsolved.Support the show!For one time support Buy Me a Coffee:Blue Murder ClubLink to all things Blue Murder Club including all of the Socials - We look forward to hearing what you think about usbluemurderclub | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEvents:London 2026 | The Ultimate True Crime Event | CrimeCon UK - Get a tasty discount using our code BLUE and Crimecon even do a payment plan to spread the cost!

On the morning of the 18th of June 2001, 15-year-old Danielle Jones left her house in Essex to go to school and never returned. After an extensive investigation all evidence pointed at one man - Dannielle's uncle, Stuart Campbell. He was eventually convicted of her murder and even to this day withholds the vital piece of information that would bring some peace to her family - where he left Danielle's body. Carrie and Lauren take a deep dive into this heart-breaking case and ask - should anyone ever be considered for parole when they still deny the crime and refuse to divulge where the body of their victim is? And just how effective is Helen's Law?Support the show!For one time support Buy Me a Coffee:Blue Murder ClubLink to all things Blue Murder Club including all of the Socials - We look forward to hearing what you think about usbluemurderclub | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEvents:London 2026 | The Ultimate True Crime Event | CrimeCon UK- Get a tasty discount using our code BLUE and Crimecon even do a payment plan to spread the cost!

This week's case is the infamous case of Edmund Kemper, the Co-Ed Killer.Brought to by your girls Carrie and Lozza, Ed Kemper was a serial killer who was convicted of murdering seven women and one girl between May 1972 and April 1973. However this wasn't Kemper's first murder spree as years earlier, at the age of just 15, Kemper had murdered his grandparents and sent to an adult psychiatric hospital where he honed his skills as a master manipulator, managing to get released on his 21st birthday. Believing Kemper was fully rehabilitated and no longer a danger to himself or others he was free to roam the streets of Santa Cruz, picking up hitch hikers, trying to push down the his homicidal feelings until one day it became too much. For almost a year he stalked and terrorised the area, especially the young female students of the nearby colleges. Who knows how long he would have got away with it if he hadn't of handed himself in to the police.Kemper is still alive today and has been studied by many law enforcement and psychiatric professionals, assisting with offender profiling for the FBI. We hope you enjoy our show and that we manage to bring some little known facts to this famous case.Source material for the research of this case include the excellent website Edmund Kemper Stories - Documenting the Co-Ed Killer caseAnd the superb documentary First Blood. Support the show!Blue Murder club 💙 | creating True crime podcast | PatreonFor one time support Buy Me a Coffee:Blue Murder ClubLink to all things Blue Murder Club including all of the Socials - We look forward to hearing what you think about usbluemurderclub | Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | LinktreeEvents:CrimeCon London 2025 - Get a tasty discount using our code BLUE and Crimecon even do a payment plan to spread the cost!

In 1932-33 there was a small time criminal gang known as the Barrow gang, active in the surrounding area of Dallas. The gang were known and wanted for various crimes locally but worldwide notoriety was just around the corner for two members of the gang. In April 1933 police officers raided a house in Joplin, Missouri planning to bust bootleggers. However it wasn’t and was in fact the current hideout of the Barrow gang. The gang members fled so quickly that they had to leave behind all of their possessions including a camera full of undeveloped film. When that film was developed the photos were so explosive that a legend was born, the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join Caz and Loz for this Series Finale of Bloody Britain and are we going out on a big case, the case of Dennis 'Des' Nilsen.For 4 years from 1979 Des killed up to 15 or 16 young men and boys and was eventually only stopped when he blocked up the drains in his flat by attempting to dispose of human remains down his toilet. As the police investigated the crimes they discovered he had been getting away with murder for years and had killed so many people that he couldn't even remember the precise amount. Dennis had very rare kink in his sexuality, he was a necrophiliac, and was only sexually aroused by the dead. Des was convicted of several murders and spent the rest of his life in prison.We hope you have enjoyed this series of crimes that took place in the UK and we will be back for Series 7 soon.Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClub Hosted on Acast.

Within an hour Barri received a phone call from Rachel, asking him for a lift as she was lost and was having difficulty getting a cab. Little did Barri know that this was the last time he would ever hear Rachel's voice, as shortly after she was abducted and murdered in a random attack, her body being found two days later.This was the beginning of a living nightmare for Barri and his friend Keith, who very shortly after would find themselves prime suspects for the brutal crime.Horrifyingly the pair were convicted and sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit on very little evidence.In despair Keith wrote to everyone he could think of for help, including the BBC program, Rough Justice. The team took on the case and after many years they finally managed to get the conviction overturned and the men walked free as innocent men. But if they hadn't killed Rachel then who had?

Back in the 1980's Sunday night telly was dominated by the darts gameshow, Bullseye where contestants would play darts and answer questions in an attempt to win cash prizes and the jackpot prize of a speedboat or a car. In May 1989 a contestant from Pembrokeshire, Wales called John Cooper appeared, talking about his hobby of scuba diving around the gorgeous coastline. Sporting a truly incredible mullet, John and his team mate walked away empty handed that day, returning to their normal lives having experienced their 15 minutes of fame.The idyllic area of Pembrokeshire hid the fact that there had been a number of shocking and brutal crimes over the years including murder, robbery and rape. As the years went by a cold case team resurrected the unsolved cases and in 2006 began Operation Ottowa, determined to find the person responsible for two double murders. Thanks to advances in forensic technology and fastidious police work the net began to close around John Cooper. However the final piece of the jigsaw came when producers of Bullseye came forward with footage of Cooper and how he would have looked the day of the murders according to an eyewitness. Join your girls this week for a brilliant case that grew in infamy when it was made into the mini series The Pembrokeshire Murders.Credit to: The Crimewatch Years Special Edition The Bullseye MurdererWritten and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

For Moat had a plan, a terrible plan to exact revenge on his ex-girlfriend, her new partner and the Northumbria police force.Two days after his release he stalked and shot Samantha, the mother of his daughter, almost killing her and killing Samantha's partner, Chris Brown.He then went on to declare war on the police and shot traffic officer, PC David Rathband in the face.Moat fled to the picturesque town of Rothbury, 30 miles north of Newcastle, nestled in the Northumberland national park.What followed then was nothing short of real-time updates as the worlds media descended on the small town, providing minute-by-minute news coverage of the biggest manhunt in recent British history.After some days of being on the run, Moat was finally cornered and as the eyes of the world turned to watch the conclusion, there could only ever be one fatal outcome...Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and welcome to episode 7 of Bloody Britain and this week please allow Caz and Loz to take you back to Blitz torn London.The year is 1942 and Hitler is doing his best to annihilate Great Britain, with a relentless bombing campaign, known as 'The Blitz'. Londoners had to keep lighting to a minimum and everyone was ordered to keep the City of London in total darkness, so as to not create an obvious target for the Luftwaffe. Of course, total darkness is a criminals dream come true and domestic crime soared during this period. And for one week in February that year, the iconic streets of London's West End were stalked by a predator known as the Blackout Ripper. No woman was safe and in a very short amount of time the culprit, a fighter pilot called Gordon Cummins, would take the lives of four women and attack two more. We hope you enjoy this week's case L & C 💙💙Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Contact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

This week's episode is all about the case of the murders of the Bamber family at their home, White House Farm. It was the 1980's the time of the hedonistic Yuppy, where wealth was flashed and 'greed was good'. The adoptive son of the respectable Neville and June Bamber, Jeremy, was surely the quintessential city boy, rich, good looking, popular and charismatic. His sister, Sheila was a beautiful model, and mother of twin boys and was also part of the London party scene. Life appeared good for the Bamber family, at least on the surface, however underneath it all there lied mental illness, conflict and jealousy.One fateful August evening Jeremy received a frantic phone call from his father, begging for help as Sheila had gone mad with a shotgun at the farmhouse. When the police finally made their way inside it was a bloodbath, every single member of the family had been shot dead, including Sheila's twin sons and then it appeared that in a final act of desperation, Sheila had turned the gun on herself. The police quickly came to the conclusion of a murder - suicide, the tragic result of her psychological difficulties.Not long after the funeral, suspicions surrounding Jeremy grew until eventually he would be charged and convicted of the murders at the farmhouse. He remains in jail until this day and still protests his innocence, claiming to be a victim of injustice.Caz and Loz investigate this most complex case and ask, what do you think happened at White House Farm?Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Credit to:The fab documentary The Bambers: Murder at the FarmContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Arguably, Peter Manuel was Scotland's first widely known serial killer and one of the last men to be hung for his crimes.Join us this week as Lozza and Cazza cover this case from the 1950's. It is a most heinous story of crime, robbery, murder.... and bizarrely, tinned fruit. Peter Manuel killed multiple young women and families and got away with it for far too long with help from his father who again and again alibied him. In the age old debate of nature vs nurture we think this is absolutely nature and that he was born bad.Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!Credit to:Dawn Young @scottishmurders podcast for the recommendationContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello you lovely supporters of our podcast, as a gift for Christmas here is the previously exclusive Patreon episode of the astonishing case of Rodney Alcala, AKA the Dating Game killer. In the 1970's Alcala would commit many violent and often fatal attacks on women and girls across America.  During the height of his crimes he appeared as 'Bachelor number 1' on the hit TV show, The Dating Game, and he even won!  However his date on the show, Cheryl Bradshaw, refused to attend the tennis lesson date they had won as she found Rodney too creepy... how astute her intuition turned out to be.In 1979 he was captured and found guilty of murdering a 12 year old girl and he lived out the rest of his life behind bars.  This would transpire to be very fortunate because as the turn of the 21st century brought about new forensics, including DNA profiling, he would be charged with and convicted of five more murders.Merry Christmas you beautiful people!

It's series finale time Blue Murder Clubbers and as sad as we are to come to the end of our travels around the world, we are very excited to bring you this huge case, the case of the killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.The inspiration for Stephen King's IT and many other creepy clown stories, Gacy's crimes really were the stuff of nightmares.Born into a normal family in 1940's Chicago, Gacy struggled with his bi-sexuality from an early age, and never seemed to understand the concept of consent.Jailed in his 20's for a s-x crime, Gacy went on to commit more and more offences until he finally tipped over into murder, progressing quickly to serial murder.His crimes went undetected for years until the law finally caught up with him and the most gruesome discovery was made in the crawl space under his house - the decomposing bodies over nearly 30 young men and boys.Thanks for listening everyone and we will be back soon for series 6 💙💙Written and Presented by Carol Whiffen & Lauren StruttPlease kindly give the show a rating or review on your chosen podcast platform as it really helps the podcast to reach new ears!

His crimes were undetected and un-investigated by a corrupt and indifferent police force, until he was finally captured in 1980 after a flash flood revealed the gruesome sight of four of his young victims and a vigilant mother saw him attempting to abduct her own child and the mob captured him.This self confessed animal would have the luck of the devil and within only 14 years of incarceration he was released for good behaviour and was never seen again.Join Carrie and Lauren as we cover his early life as a street urchin, his career as a car thief and eventual progression to mass murder.

Hey hey you lovely bunch of true crime enthusiasts and welcome to this week's episode where we travel back to Asia, North Korea to be precise and bring you the ongoing dynasty of the Kim family. Kim Jong-un, the current dictator of North Korea is infamous globally for his eccentric ways, as well as his nuclear arms programme.Caz and Loz cover how it is to live in the most isolated and secretive country in the world. Spoiler it isn't much fun and you constantly run the risk of committing a crime, for example, having the wrong haircut and being sent to a forced labour camp or even executed. We also cover how the Kim dynasty came to be in place, how the country was torn in two at the end of the second world war, tearing families apart, and how grandfather Kim was portrayed as the saviour of the North Korean people and the self appointed, Supreme Leader.Since coming to power at the age of 28, Kim Jong-un has barely been out of the news. Although there is never enough solid proof, him and his regime have been hugely successful in espionage, cyber crime, human trafficking, forgery, you name it, and the money keeps pouring in to the Kim family coffers. More than enough for North Korea to fund a nuclear bomb programme that has ultimately made the "little rocket man" unstoppable.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&CWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.

Hello and buckle up as we head back to Australia for this weeks episode of Crimes Around the World and the disturbing case of Ivan Milat - The Backpacker Killer.Sydney, Australia, the Mecca of backpackers from all over the world and even the site of the original backpacker hostel at Kings Cross, was and still is a firm favourite for young people who are looking for adventure and travel. However, in the early 1990s, Australia was rocked by the gruesome murders of seven backpackers in Belanglo State Forest, a national park around 80 miles from Sydney. To this day, the “Backpacker Murders” remain some of the worst killings in the country’s history — and it was all the work of one disturbing predator named Ivan Milat. Join Lozza and Cazza as we brush up our Aussie lingo and take a trip to New South Wales and try to discover what made the the man who would change the face of backpacking and hitch hiking in Australia forever and who would also become the inspiration for the cult classic horror film, Wolf Creek.If you are enjoying the Pod, please leave us a review wherever you listen - L&CWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected]://linktr.ee/bluemurderclubSupport BMC on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/BluemurderclubFollow BMC on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bluemurderclubFollow BMC on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/BlueMClubFollow BMC on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BluemurderClubPhotography by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu WhiffenWritten and Presented by Lauren Strutt and Carol WhiffenContact us at [email protected] by Jessica GeorgeArtwork by Stu Whiffen Hosted on Acast.
