Clown Masks And Crocodile Tears - Part 1
The discovery of a woman's body in a rural Warwickshire layby in September 1994 was the start of what would become to detectives one of the most complex investigations in Warwickshire Police history, and would ultimately lead them to a cold and calculating killer.

This time and next on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I shall bring you the story.

Houses Of Blood - Bloodbath On A New Year's Day
"I have just murdered my wife in her bed. I have just stabbed them, and slit their throats. His name is Martin Griffiths. There is blood everywhere. This has just happened. My children are safe at my mother's house"

This was the context of a call to an emergency services operator in the early hours of New Year's Day, 2020, the implications of which were to rock the village of Duffield, in Derbyshire, to the core - and leave three families destroyed.

The Failing Of Danielle Reid
We head up to the Scottish Highland city of Inverness, and back to the early 2000's this time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a harrowing tale of a crime that shocked Scotland to the core, a definition of cruelty, evil, and a hauling over the coals of a system that, so tragically, failed a little girl.

5 year old Danielle Reid. Hers is a name that following this, I doubt you will forget.

The Beast Of Farley Mount
The Hampshire beauty spot of Farley Mount Country Park, located near the city of Winchester, is a popular destination in daylight hours for families, joggers and dog walkers, whilst of the evening, it takes on a different kind of visitor - couples, and the voyeuristic who enjoy watching these for their own gratification. During the 1990's, it was also the scene of several disturbing incidents and attacks by an offender who to this day, remains at large, having never faced justice.

Or did he?

Revenge
There is a saying, Revenge is a dish best served cold. For the tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head back to 1983, and over to Ireland's capital city of Dublin, for a bleak tale where revenge was served cold-blooded.

Revenge which ended in triple murder.

Captain Hogwash
Pilot, Cruise Ship Captain, successful businessman, gifted salesman, entrepreneur, property renovator, heir to a massive fortune, able to drop claims of rubbing shoulders with political figures, all whilst living a champagne lifestyle. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we meet an individual who was all that and more.

On paper, and according to him, anyway - but one who left a costly trail of devestation in his wake.

You Deserve A Medal For That!
Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.

And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.

Are You Sure You're Legal?
I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.

For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.

The Farmer Wants A Better Wife
"E AH A DE OH - The Farmer Wants A Wife" goes the old nursery rhyme. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Hertfordshire and back to 2018, where we will hear the tragic tale of a farmer who, if he could have, would have certainly wanted a better wife.

One who, along with her lover, wanted nothing more than him dead.

A Nightmare On May Street
We head to the East Yorkshire city of Hull this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where one bright April evening in 2016, the resident of number 9 May Street got the shock of her life as she peered into the garden of the neighbouring property.Amongst the various clutter and discarded rubbish in the garden was a duvet.

Out of which, was poking a human leg....

Blood Feud
If a person makes an enemy, the chances are that the circumstances or events that has led to such a thing will not extend further than a series of harsh words exchanged, occasionally a physical confrontation, and a years long, perhaps lifelong dislike of that person. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Liverpool and back to 2008 for a tale of a feud that festered over years, and led to the most horrific and tragic of circumstances.
