In a secluded home in 1970s Tenerife, the Alexander family’s lives took a dark turn under the oppressive rule of father Harald and his son Frank, who saw himself as a messianic figure. Mary, the devoted mother, and her daughters, who were raised to obey without question, became unwitting victims in a twisted world of delusion and control. As isolation and fanaticism deepened, the family dynamic grew more toxic—until one horrific night of violence shattered their lives forever. Join us as we delve into the chilling tale of the Alexander family murders, uncovering the fate of each member and the dangerous power of belief gone wrong.

Just a warning, this one is extra horrific and there’s a few reasons why. I won’t go into detail before we begin because it’s not a super long case and we’ll get there. But what I did want to just give you a heads up about and a little bit of a warning is that this one involves children. I do some cases that involve children or younger people and if you’re listening to this true crime podcast, I’m sure you’re used to hearing about horrific stuff- but when a case is particularly brutal or had hit me in a certain way, I do like to just give a bit of a warning. You may wanna skip this one if this is a particularly hard spot for you with it being 8 and 6 year old girls.

Hi friends,

Something a little different to eliminate the Sunday scaries...

When Jo Piazza wrote her bestselling novel The Sicilian Inheritance she loosely based it on the century old murder of her great great grandmother Lorenza Marsala in Sicily. Once the book was finished she took her entire family of five to Sicily to solve the murder in real life and the truth is even stranger than the fiction.

Listen here: The Sicilian Inheritance

15 year old Alex Rodda headed out after school one day to go meet his friend. But when he never returned later that evening, his mum Lisa just knew something was wrong. She called all of his friends to ask if they’d seen him, and they told her he was out tonight with a boy called Matthew. But Matthew wasn’t a boy, he was an 18 year old adult. And the nature of their relationship was not friendship- instead, it was full of lies, blackmail, and ultimately murder.

This one is called a murder in Scotland, because of the Scottish laws around trial that heavily impacted the outcome of this case.

Jordan told police he dropped his sister Annalise at her uncles house. He watched her go inside before driving off. Now she'd been missing for 12 hours. But when police questioned the uncle, he told them Annalise never showed up at his house.

Somebody was lying.

This is the missing persons case of Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone. The two disappeared, without a trace, from Philadelphia nearly two decades ago. To this day, Danielle, Richard, as well as Richard’s pickup truck have never been found. Unlike most cases, there is not a single piece of physical evidence connected to this crime. But the FBI knows there was foul play. In There and Gone: South Street, the Glass Podcasts team opens their own investigation with unprecedented access and cooperation from the FBI. The team will track down leads, conduct their own interviews and meet with persons of interest as they look to bring justice to Danielle, Richard, and their families.
