Sick N Twisted is a true crime podcast about all things sick and twisted. Hosted by two northern lasses who like to laugh, swear and generally chat shit. We primarily cover serial killers, but do not shy away from anything and everything that is up for discussion. Instagram: @sickntwistedpod Twitter: @sickntwistedpod. Facebook: @sickntwistedpod.

Considering the death toll on this one, it's shocking how many people know so little about it. We dive in to see what happened in Jonestown to cause the death of 918 people. As always, we got off topic a little, just a tad, as Kat has a new hairstyle. But as always, it's a hell of an episode.
In December 1992, 23 year old Steven Clark went missing from his home in Marske, North Yorkshire. 28 years later, his disappearance remains a mystery, and this small community was shocked when his parents were suddenly arrested on suspicion of murder. Taking place in Tracey's town, join us as we take a look at this strange case, and try to find out what really happened to Steven.
The tragic murder of three young girls at a summer camp in 1977 still remains an open case to this day. We discuss the case to take a look at what happened, and how this horrific event unfolded.
In April 2014, two Dutch hikers went missing in Panama. Months later their belongings and remains would be found raising more questions than answers. What really happened to Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers?
This week, we discuss the case of Greg Kelley and the documentary Outcry which follows Greg's story as he fights for justice. Convicted of a crime he is adamant he didn't commit, Outcry follows Greg on his journey. Outcry is a five-part documentary series from Emmy award-winning director and producer Pat Kondelis. We urge you to watch this documentary!
In June 1996 two boys were murdered in their home as they camped out in their living room. Their mother, Darlie Routier, was wounded and told police that an intruder had broken in and killed her sons. Shortly after the brutal murders, Darlie was arrested and found guilty of their killing - but is she guilty? Or has a huge mistake been made? We look at the evidence, both for and against her guilt, to try and see what really happened that night in the Routier home.
In 1968, two children were murdered in Scotswood, Newcastle Upon Tyne. The world looked on as 11 year old Mary Bell was convicted of their manslaughter. What caused such a young child to commit such horrific acts? And can child killers be rehabilitated to join society? We discuss all this, and more (sex toys and whether or not fish have lips) in this episode.
This week we close up White House Farm, and put Jeremy Bamber to bed. There are many aspects of this case which could be open to contention - what are you thoughts on it?
This week we start our deep dive into White House Farm and the massacre which saw the death of five family members in 1985. Part one takes a general look at the case, and as usual also covers some off piste topics such as: Kat having a hissy fit at xmas over some roller skates, and the view that Xmas movies are NOT allowed after Xmas eve!Sources: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-52853759https://www.jeremy-bamber.co.ukhttps://www.jeremy-bamber.co.uk/forensic-evidencehttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/05/jeremy-bamber-refused-access-to-documents-on-essex-family-murdershttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/feb/11/jeremy-bamber-lawyers-say-new-evidence-undermines-convictionhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/feb/04/jeremy-bamber-murders-ballistics-challengehttps://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/feb/10/jeremy-bamber-innocent-of-murder-appealhttps://www.eadt.co.uk/news/jeremy-bamber-speaks-from-prison-over-white-house-farm-murders-2646010https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2004/jun/01/prisonsandprobation.societyhttps://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/aug/19/ukcrime.johnezardhttps://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/single-photo-tiny-gesture-exposed-22701359https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/1237268/white-house-farm-jeremy-bamber-sheila-bamber-itv-cousin-deaths-reaction-spt
In July 2020 Raoul Moat terrorised north east England as he rampaged through the countryside with a gun. Join us as we look at what started the chain of events that ended in such senseless tragedy. Also, Tracey is haunted by some scented bog roll, and don't approach Kat for a date if you have a picture of you holding a fish...
In Spalding, Lincolnshire, 2016, two teenagers plot together to carry out the most heinous of murders. Kim Edwards and Lucas Markham were just 14 years old when they were found in Kim's house, chilling out, watching tv and eating ice cream...all while the bodies of Kim's sister and mother were laying upstairs, slaughter in their beds. This one is truly horrifying, and committed by people so young. As usual, we go off on one, with Kat wanting to punch a kid in the face, and Tracey promising to haunt Kat when she's long gone.

This week, Kat and Tracey each choose a case local to them to tell the other. Kat looks at the case of David Harker - the Cannibal Killer from Darlington, and Tracey looks at the case of Billy Dunlop - the first man to be tried after the lifting of the double jeopardy laws. As usual, we get off topic at times!
Part two of Ted Bundy covers his multiple escapes from custody, and yet more murders as he struggled to control his murderous urges. We also talk about prison turning people into drug smuggling mules, and how you wouldn't want to rely on Tracey to help you do that....Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundyhttps://murderpedia.org/male.B/b1/bundy-ted.htmhttps://abcnews.go.com/US/timeline-ted-bundys-brutal-crimes/story?id=61077236https://allthatsinteresting.com/ted-bundyhttps://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/ted-bundy/timelinehttps://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a27438655/ted-bundy-murders-trial-timeline/https://www.etonline.com/ted-bundys-first-known-survivor-speaks-out-for-the-first-time-in-amazon-doc-it-was-horrible-140539https://www.history101.com/lynda-ann-healey-first-known-victim-serial-killer-ted-bundy/https://unidentified.wikia.org/wiki/Donna_Mansonhttps://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/4ahbf4/what_happened_to_donna_gail_mansonhttps://bundyphile.com/2016/04/23/lake-sammamish-murders/https://abcnews.go.com/US/notorious-serial-killer-ted-bundy-escape-custody/story?id=61032623https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12299713https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a27379040/ted-bundy-wife-carole-ann-boone/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/sickntwistedpod)

This week we take a look at the crazy life of Robert Durst. When his wife Kathie disappears in the 80s, no one could have written the next 40 years, and certainly, no one could have imagined how crazy it would get. A disappearance, two murders, and a man who seems capable of getting away with anything. But has time ran out for the millionaire Robert Durst?

This week, we cover the Peterborough Ditch Murders, and arguably one of Britain's most terrifying women, Joanna Dennehy. This one is a spree killer fuelled with rage and Joanna was someone who thrived on the pain of others. Notoriety was her one aim, and she got it, up there with the likes of Myra Hindley and Rose West. What caused this girl, from a good family, to go from perfect student, to raging murderer? Join us as we delve into things to try and understand what makes Joanna Dennehy one of the most sick and twisted individuals we have looked at.

As a little bonus, we decided to do something in the spirit of Halloween and look at the case of the Vampire of Sacramento, Richard Chase. WARNING: It's a tough listen, it's a bit graphic, and this guy was a monster. As usual, we do go off topic, and learn that Tracey used to sing and dance, and Kat is a poltergeist in her spare time for shits and giggles.

In August 2018, Chris Watts wiped out his entire family, killing his wife Shan'ann, daughters Bella and CeCe and his unborn son, Niko. The world watched on in horror as the truth about that day came out. But was it the truth? Is Chris's story everything that happened? What lies were told, and who told them? This case raises more questions than it answers, and as the world watches again following the release of the Netflix documentary 'American Murder: The Family Next Door', we dive in to see what exactly went on.

This week Kat takes the lead to tell the story of the disappearance of 12 year old Johnny Gosch in 1982. If, like Tracey you don't know this story, then strap in, because it's a strange one. Paedophile rings? Disappearing paperboys? Cover ups by the police and the FBI? This one has ALL the theories. As usual, there's some other stuff in there, like how both Tracey and Kat can move their eyes independently of each other.

On 22 July 2011, Anders Breivik set off a car bomb in central Oslo before driving to the small island of Utoya.
