Nightmare Somewhere - True Crime PodcastBali 9 re-releaseApril 2005 - Nine young Australians were arrested attempting to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin out of Bali. Indonesian authorities were working on a tip from the Australian Federal Police who had informed their Indonesian counterparts in the hope that it would lead to the identification of the drug syndicate distribution network and other players higher up in the chain. It didn’t. What it did do was ensure that these nine offenders would be trialled and sentenced in a country where the penalties for drug trafficking are more harshly imposed than those for murder. ***Welcome to episode 9 - the following are a...

They had already spent over two weeks out at sea on a deteriorating lifeboat; their paltry rations long gone and they were drifting out in the ocean half way between Africa and South America.

As the court saw it: they had betrayed their feminine role. It was a treachery of sorts and for that they sacrificed any clemency. Welcome to the story of Elizabeth Woolcock - a woman who was given no mercy in life or death.
2020-05-0624 minNightmare Somewhere - True Crime PodcastUnabomberThank you so much for your patience while I tackle some editing. It turns out that editing is not nearly as cumbersome as I had it pegged as. 1978 Illinois: The ‘Freedom Club’ wages a 17 year terror campaign - sending mail bombs indiscriminately targeting whoever associated with tech development or damage to the environment. The Unabomber’s 35,000 word manifesto would suggest he had a fair bit to say; yet he waited 15 years to mention any of it.

In this episode I’m sharing two cases that occured in the Perth suburb of Carlisle. The first one is the 1931 murder-suicide of the Davies family and the second is the 2018 murder of Fahima Yusuf who was killed by her husband and buried in their backyard. The crimes did just occur streets apart and involve fathers in their 30’s who had planned and carried out an action that they thought might solve their hardships. I reckon that is where the similarities end hey. I’d really like to hear what you think of how th...

That is precisely what former cop Jerry Cassaday believed he was doing when he shot and killed Bruce Miller. But Cassaday wasn’t upholding this vow - he had killed an innocent man. He was acting on the coercion and manipulation of his lover and Bruce’s wife: Sharee Miller. Three months later Cassaday would turn the gun on himself.

Winifred Ransom would attack 8 months pregnant Margaret Sweeney with a hatchet in an onslaught that would end with Margaret being shot and having her baby taken from inside her. Winifred would be acquitted on the grounds of insanity for this crime. It was believed that the need to be a mother so incapacitated her that she could not determine right from wrong. Things have changed since then. In more recent times, we have come to learn that it is far from maternal instinct that drives perpetrators of foetal abduction. Rather, it is a bit for attention...
