A victim, found in the middle of the day, murdered without warning and for no reason whatsoever. This is a tough one that involves young people, so as always listen with caution.


This is a case from last year, so one of the more recent cases we've covered, and is a UK based case.


Leo Ross was just 12 years old at the time of his murder.


"Our focus remains on remembering who Leo was, not how he was taken from us."

The murder was incredibly brutal and callous with a scene that should have been a goldmine for forensic evidence. Thankfully, due to determination of the team involved and a breakthrough due to two good Samaritans spotting something suspicious, key evidence was located and linked back to the murder scene. This case proves just how important the tiny pieces of evidence really are when getting justice for Arash and his family.

There is added pressure with this case, as it's an unsolved case and the family are still working tirelessly to find Bethany and work out what happened to her all those years ago...

Bethany's family have specifically asked us to share her story in their plea for justice and answers.


Bethany Markowski has now been missing since 2001 when she disappeared during a weekend visit with her father. She was just 11 years old.

She made her last phone call at 12:12 p.m. on March 4, 2001, pinging a cell tower near Natchez Trace State Park and there has been no trace of her since. 


There are many theories as to what may have happened to Bethany but nobody knows the truth. In this episode we provide as many facts about the timeline and events leading up to the disappearance as possible, encouraging people to share the case and spread awareness in the hunt for answers. Just one tip could lead to a breakthrough.

This case involves an offender who targeted his victims, killed them like they were prey, overtly flouted his crimes before disregarding the victims bodies like they were nothing.


The offender in this case was callous, cold-hearted and so brazen, but ultimately received the justice the victims and their families deserved.

It’s a case of betrayal that I think we’d all like to hope would never ever happen to us and it seems unfathomable that these events would ever unfold in the first place.


Cases like this remind you that you can never tell the face of a killer and goes to show that sometimes it is those closest to us that can be the most dangerous. So on that cheery note, lets explain the tragic case of a family man who went missing, while doing one of the things he loved the most...


There’s lots of twists and turns and it took detectives years to learn the truth and bring the murderers to justice.

Grace made friends easily, which is why her friends and family knew she’d have an amazing time. On the 26th of October, 2018, Grace touched down in Peru, ready to begin her adventure of a lifetime, travelling the world solo. She documented her travels across social media, so loved ones could keep up to date with where she was and what she’d been up to. 


By December, Grace had travelled to New Zealand, a place she’d always wanted to go.

On the 1st December, Grace arrived in Auckland, just a day before her birthday. Tragically, it was in an attempt to make birthday plans via Tinder that led to her murder. 


As always, the focus in this case is on Grace and telling her story. This episode also discusses the prevalence of the rough sex defence and how men are getting away with the most heinous, manipulative, planned, pre-meditated crimes by saying that females were "asking for it".


If you would like to honour Grace's memory and donate to the charity set up by her family to help victims of domestic abuse, you can do so here - https://www.lovegrace.co.uk/

Secrets of a murder detective is a new true crime documentary where every episode covers a different crime. Steve Keogh sits down with investigating officers to talk us through the cases in detail. With 30 years of police experience and 12 of those as a top muder detective, Steve takes us through the twists and turns of the cases with first hand experience. Steve is also an author of 2 books and has recently started a true crime podcast “Murder investigation for crime writers” this helps writers achieve authenticity in their stories.


We also talk about The footballer fraudster, exploring the life of Medi Abalima, a former footballer who took the identities of a premier league player, a rapper, MI6 agent and a Navy Seal! These are the lengths he went to to con his victims.


We dont like to give away any spoilers in these episodes so you can still enjoy watching but the Netflix film “What Jennifer did” is another good watch as she becomes the focus of a captivating criminal case!

Episode 11 unpacks the fatal and brutal stabbing of young teen, Brianna Ghey. Briana was just 16 when she was murdered by two perpetrators, both of which were just 15 themselves.


This was a premeditated attack and led to an outpouring of support across the UK in memory of Brianna. Her mother, grieving and struggling to come to terms with the events, has been campaigning tirelessly for mindfulness to be taught within schools and for large social media giants to take culpability for the content they allow on their platforms.


This one was particularly difficult to cover for the Annie and Beth, which they also discuss as the episode unfolds.

The episode shows that in order for a crime to be solved, evidence has to be analysed by scientists across the country, in order to piece together the truth of the story. 


In this case, forensic odontology was essential in both confirming John’s identity and determining what had happened to him before his death. 


To see the bodycam footage and evidence in more detail, watch Series 4, Episode 1 - Forensics: The Real CSI on BBC iPlayer.

With all the controversy surrounding the compelling true story featured in the Netflix drama Baby Reindeer, we discuss stalking and the complexities between human relationships and evidence when assessing/dealing with incidents of stalking. We then discuss an ITV documentary, which delves into multiple cases of stalking and harassment, showing how victims and families are campaigning for change into stalking law and prosecution. 


Hopefully Episode 6 will provide more of an insight into the nuances of stalking relationships and the difficulties in convictions against stalking offenders.

The family were held hostage for a harrowing 55 hours, between the 12th and 14th of January. The family home was in the small village of Eastmoor, Chesterfield. 

The case will be centred around the victims, shedding light on their lives and ensuring they are remembered. In this case, we do however feel it’s important to talk a little about the history of the perpetrator, to demonstrate the kind of person he was.
