All families have squabbles from time to time - it's human nature. But sometimes, a squabble exists only in the mind of one family member, and when they become obsessed that they are right, wild horses cannot change their mind - sometimes, it borders on paranoia. The tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, a horrific tale from Manchester back in 2016, shows just what horrific consequenses paranoia can bring.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

"Everybody needs good neighbours" noted the theme tune of a popular 1980's Australian soap opera, and indeed, the majority of us do go on to have those good neighbours, that do become good friends - again, as the theme tune of the soap claimed. But not always. For one family living in Nottingham back in November 2022, there was to be nothing of the sort next door, except a nightmare - and a killer.

Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole. How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Back with the first of a two part tale to start the brand new 9th series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and for it, we head back to the summer of 1984, where for three counties of the south of England - Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire - a cloud of fear hung over them. A simple yet prolific burglar was to over the space of five months evolve disturbingly in his criminality, and create near hysteria in these parts, a terrifying offender who came to be known as The Fox.... It's good to be back with you.

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I shall tell you exactly why.

Online dating is more massively popular than ever today, and the list of sites that you can join up in an attempt to find that special person who may be lacking from your life seems to constantly grow - Plenty Of Fish, Tinder, Grindr, Bumble to name just a few, and of course, Match.Com The drawback with these sites is, is that you never know who you could meet on there. And sometimes, as you'll hear with this account - you may find out too late that you have matched with the wrong person. The very wrong person.

Many areas around the UK have their own tales of a costumed resident - some are just harmless eccentrics, whilst others do it to send some goodwill out or to raise money for good causes.

Concluding the tale begun last time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which dealt with the horrific rape and murder of a young girl on a winter's night back in the North Wales town of Flint, in January 1976. It was a fast moving investigation back at the time, which quickly led to an arrest, charges, and ultimately, imprisonment.  And that was it - or so it was thought. But four decades later, the case was heard once again before a court - because, had police caught the right killer at the time? Or, had the real killer long been roaming free? The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving children, involving injury detail and descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

We head back to the January of 1976 this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a two part tale, a local one for me, that has tragedy and loss written all through it. It is a case that ultimately was to span four decades in total, with several twists and turns as you will hear throughout, and it all centred around a 15 year old girl named Janet.... I don't think it's a tale you will forget either.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, involving injury detail and descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Your children - they may drive you mad at times, or may cause you despair and torment - but regardless, are accepted as being the most important thing in your life. Your creations that you protect, nurture, teach - and that, without doubt, you can never, ever envisage harm coming to - because you'd die yourself first. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring two sad and disturbing examples of individuals, two fathers, who just didn't share this sentiment. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving children, involving injury detail, and with a reference to an instance of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Concluding the tale of tragic Marie Stewart, a devoted mum of two, and hard-working teaching assistant, whose biggest mistake in life was to try and share the world of an individual whose ego only allowed room for thoughts about one person in it - himself. Andrew Lindo. He pursued multiple affairs with other women, sometimes overlapping ones, all to satisfy his own selfish needs, and one evening in December 2010, when Marie threatened to bring his house of cards crashing down, committed the ultimate horrific act to ensure that she couldnt, before embarking on a remarkable, devious, course of deception to conceal his crime. As you will hear in this concluding part.
