Cruelty is never far away from some homes - some people suffer largely in silence, and when that cruelty begins to show, they will come out with allsorts of reasoning. 'I fell. I bumped into this or that'.It's a very real thing is domestic violence, and the tale I bring this time around shows it isn't always the archetypal abuser that is commonly perceived. Sometimes, sadly, it ends in utter horror and tragedy.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

The new red bicycle had fast become her pride and joy, all of her friends had seen it, and one sunny afternoon in August 1981, nine year old Jennifer Cardy set off from her home in Ballinderry to cycle the short distance to show the first friend she had it again, so excited was she.As a small Datsun van passed her as she did, Jennifer had no idea that a predator, a monster, was waiting for her. It would take thirty years, but the wheels of justice did eventually turn for Jennifer, and the individual who made her the Lost Girl we haven't yet mentioned through the arc finally stood in the dock.

'That's our man. I'd bet my life on it'These are the words of Assistant Chief Constable Hector Clark back in July 1990, moments after the initial, briefest of meetings with the man he was describing here, who just over a month later, was serving a sentence of life imprisonment for an almost carbon copy crime to the series he and his team had been investigating for eight years by then.

It was a simple, quick detour to avoid prying eyes - and it was fortunate that it was just that too, a quick detour, for if it wasn't, then perhaps Teresa Thornhill wouldn't be here today.That evening in Nottingham in April 1988, she very certainly only narrowly escaped the clutches of death, thanks in part to the survivor she was. Because she was the survivor, her evidence would later be crucial in bringing to a very definite end the reign of arguably, Britain's most prolific child killer.

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.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

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 episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and/or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic Dial M For Murder is a celebrated work that has been remade for both the big and small screen, and the stage, and which concerns the tale of a cheating wife, a scheming husband, and an elaborate murder plot.

There are countless memorials to the brave personnel of the Armed Forces scattered around the UK, but one of these, in Surrey, contains the names of several service personnel whose military service is overshadowed by one thing - the execution each faced for the heinous crimes they committed, not as an act of war, but as a case of murder. This time around, I bring you the tales of two of these.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Concluding the horrifying and tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, the girl snatched whilst cycling home in Germany in 1981, only to be found 17 days later in the most nightmarish of circumstances. Though it was to take almost 27 years, in 2008 the wheels of justice finally began to turn for Ursula and her family. Except that once they had, the case became perhaps more controversial than it was before - with no one feeling this more strongly than Ursula's family.  Concluding a tale you'll never forget.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including a description of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Hitchhiking brings with it countless dangers, as we have seen on screen countless times and with the exploits of killers such as the West's, but for many years it was a commonplace thing to do, the dangers not thought about, merely the destination. In the winter of 1995, one such hitcher, a 19 year old French student named Celine Figard, accepted a ride that she was sadly, never to finish. Her last ride.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Back in 1983, 14 year old Gillian Atkins had one love in her life - her horses, she was horse mad from a young age. Devoting her life to them, there were even rumblings of Gillian having a possible Olympic shot in her chosen field, so capable was she - until one April evening, that came to a crashing halt. As did Gillian's life.

Christine Lakinski, Brent Martin, and David Atherton. The accounts you will hear in this episode concern three people who never knew one another, and indeed, lived many miles apart, but who in the space of just a year, became part of the same sad and disturbing set of statistics.

We head back to 2005, and to the town of St Austell in the beautiful UK county of Cornwall this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a disturbing tale that shows just how perverse and barbaric the actions of some are, how they prey upon and use the vulnerable for their own means, even those who have next to nothing.

The loss of a child must be heartbreaking, devastating, surreal all at once - how can you even begin to define it? One morning back in November 2007, it was a nightmare that North Wales father Simon Hill was thrust into - but for Simon, there was an extra dimension to such a tragedy. For it was at the hands of his equal - the person supposed to love and protect a child more than anyone.

All families have squabbles from time to time - it's human nature. But sometimes, a squabble exists only in the mind of one family member, and when they become obsessed that they are right, wild horses cannot change their mind - sometimes, it borders on paranoia.

"Everybody needs good neighbours" noted the theme tune of a popular 1980's Australian soap opera, and indeed, the majority of us do go on to have those good neighbours, that do become good friends - again, as the theme tune of the soap claimed. But not always. For one family living in Nottingham back in November 2022, there was to be nothing of the sort next door, except a nightmare - and a killer.

Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole. How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Back with the first of a two part tale to start the brand new 9th series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and for it, we head back to the summer of 1984, where for three counties of the south of England - Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire - a cloud of fear hung over them. A simple yet prolific burglar was to over the space of five months evolve disturbingly in his criminality, and create near hysteria in these parts, a terrifying offender who came to be known as The Fox....

Ahead of the upcoming Series 9 of the show, I sat down and waxed lyrical about the series I've just completed, a brief summary of each, how and why I choose the tales I do, and what to look out for in the upcoming Series 9. Couldn't do any of it without yourselves - you're the best in the world, and I thank you. Stay enthusiastic, me and the Peaks shall be back with you soon. Paul (TTCE)
