From Copernicus to Newton, the greatest minds in history have had a crater named after them on the moon. But one name you may not know is Jack Parsons, a pioneer of rocket science whose contributions were so monumental that man wouldn’t have set foot on the moon without him.However, his sex-crazed occultism and bromance with L. Ron Hubbard made it hard for the scientific community to embrace him, leading to his eponymous crater being placed on the dark side of the moon.This story has everything from revolutionary science to orgies, the occult, and demonic rituals - what are you waiting for…

Last week we left off with the absolutely batshit-craziness of Margaret’s “Bel”-filled diaries and the rumoured accusations of incest made by Laniet Bain against her father Robin.And we’ll come back to all of that later in this episode, part 2 of our series on the Bain family murders, but not before we re-join David, as he’s being interviewed for the first time by the police, just hours after the killings…

On 29 June 1994 the entire Bain family, except for eldest son David, were found murdered in their house in Dunedin.The investigation that followed would go on to become New Zealand’s most controversial, as allegations of black magic, incest and police corruption exploded…LAST CHANCE TO GET YOUR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TICKETS: https://redhandedpodcast.com/Become a patron:PatreonOrder a copy of the book here (US & Canada):Order on Wellesley BooksOrder on Amazon.comOrder a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus):Order on Amazon.co.ukOrder on FoylesFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.com

The Murdaugh murders are not one story; they are a seemingly endless web of lies, entitlement, and confusion. At the centre of the web are the bodies of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, found at their hunting lodge. But tangled in it are the tragic deaths of three other completely innocent people, dragged in by the most powerful family in South Carolina.

Organised crime, sex scandals, terror plots, hundreds of millions of missing dollars, a gangster known as ‘God’s Banker’ found hanging from a bridge in London, a 100-year-old apocalyptic prophecy, an anonymous tip-off that sounds like it comes from Dan Brown’s never-released Godfather sequel, and messages hidden in crypts…this is the story of Emanuela Orlandi, the only missing citizen of the smallest country in the world. And though she disappeared more than 40 years ago, Emanuela’s story remains, to this day, one of the biggest mysteries in Italian criminal history.

Rachel Nickell’s brutalised body was found on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex wiping her bloodied face and begging her to 'wake up'. The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast. However, none of that justifies the shoddy police work, cut corners, and tunnel vision that allowed a serial rapist to go unchecked for years.GET YOUR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TICKETS:https://redhandedpodcast.com/Become a patron:PatreonOrder a copy of the book here (US & Canada):Order on Wellesley BooksOrder on Amazon.comOrder a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus):Order on Amazon.co.ukOrder on FoylesFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.com

Dorothea Puente may have looked every bit the placid old lady she played. In reality, she was in her early fifties, and was using her self-made status as a ‘pillar of the community’ to divert attention away from what was buried and rotting in her garden. Whether her victims had a few hundred thousand dollars, a nice pick-up truck, or even just a meagre social security cheque – they all risked the wrath of the ‘Death House Landlady’.GET YOUR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TICKETS:https://redhandedpodcast.com/Become a patron:PatreonOrder a copy of the book here (US & Canada):Order on Wellesley BooksOrder on Amazon.comOrder a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus):Order on Amazon.co.ukOrder on FoylesFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.com

The much-told legend of Rasputin – the giant, wild-eyed, well-hung, wandering Siberian monk who seduced the Tsarina herself – is mostly a bunch of absolute borscht.

H&S look at the life of a peasant who infiltrated Russian nobility, embodying the tensions of a nation – a charismatic zealot who mysteriously healed the Romanovs’ sickly heir. So join us to find out how Russia went from Romanovs to Revolution; the possible MI6 ties to Rasputin’s death; and a classic, quick-fire RedHanded rundown of…the entire First World War.

In 2009, having served just 13 months of the cushiest jail sentence this side of Scandinavia, Jeffrey Epstein was free – and legally protected from any future punishment. But there were hundreds of people that knew what he really was: a dangerous, influential and insatiable child rapist with a sophisticated network of fixers. They knew he had to be stopped.In this second episode of our two-parter, H&S look at the tireless legal and journalistic efforts to bring him down; go deeper into the involvement of Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew; and find out what kind of justice – if any – was served. Plus: what happened in that jail cell in 2019?2023 North American Tour Tickets: redhandedpodcast.com

The story of Jeffrey Epstein – the billionaire financier with an industrial-scale web of child abuse implicating some of the most powerful people in the world – sounds like some half-baked conspiracy theory. But it’s all true. And to answer the question of how he went from humble origins to sex-trafficking minors over to his private island, we have to start at the very beginning. So, who exactly was Jeffrey Epstein? How did socialite and media heiress Ghislaine Maxwell accelerate his ambitions? And how the hell did they keep getting away with it?2023 North American Tour Tickets: redhandedpodcast.com

Kirk Anderson was abducted from an LDS meeting house in Surrey by his ex-partner – and ex-beauty queen – Joyce McKinney. He said he was taken to a small rural cottage, tied to a bed, and sexually assaulted for three days. According to McKinney, everything was above board – Kirk just liked things kinky. But the British tabloids only cared about one thing: the wisecracking Southern belle Joyce McKinney made for great headlines. All the papers needed was a picture of her naked, to sell the story of the century. And they'd do anything to get it.

This case takes the notion of life imitating art to a newly macabre extreme. In 2010, Blake Leibel released his graphic novel, Syndrome. Described as The Truman Show meets Se7en, the story follows a rogue neuropathologist as he attempts to find a cure for evil, using a condemned serial killer as his guinea pig.Initially met with a lukewarm response, the novel garnered international attention in 2015 after Leibel seemed to use its most violent scenes to commit what's been described as "the most brutal murder in LA's history".

In the early morning of 1 July 2018, Gurcharan Singh went to check on his neighbours in the Burari district of Delhi. When he got there, he found a crime scene so chilling that the whole city was thrown into a frenzy. Ten members of the Chundawat family were hanging from the ceiling. Another, the 80-year-old grandmother, was found strangled in the next room. And the police, the public, and the national media were stumped – it seemed too complex for suicide; too organised for murder. And then, they discovered a diary that changed everything…In the first case in five years of RedHanded to cause Suruthi to sleep with the lights on, we delve into the murky, ritualistic details of the Burari deaths.

In the gruelling world of elite gymnastics, Larry Nassar was seen by a lot of young athletes as a friendly face in tough times. As the USA Gymnastics National Medical Coordinator, he performed treatments on children as young as ten, for almost 30 years. And under cover of those treatments, he was routinely molesting hundreds of young girls for decades – sometimes multiple times a day, often with their parents sitting just metres away.After multiple investigations, he seemed untouchable. But thanks to the bravery of his survivors – and the discovery of three external hard drives – the world saw him for what he really was: a calculated predator, with more victims than Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky and Harvey Weinstein combined.

In October of 2019, prison officers at HMP Full Sutton in West Yorkshire discovered the body of a prisoner who'd been subjected to 89 minutes of torture before being strangled to death by another inmate. The victim was 33-year-old Richard Huckle. Dubbed by the media as "The Gap Year Paedophile", Huckle was serving a life sentence for carrying out a 9-year-long, systematic campaign of abuse against some of the world's poorest children. Huckle documented his atrocities on the dark web, authored a how-to-guide for paedophiles, and contributed to one of the largest nonce-networks ever discovered.

There were gas leaks, gaslights and grounds to divorce.Click here to vote for RedHanded in the British Podcast Awards Listeners' Choice Award!>>>The “If RedHanded Wins the BPA Listeners' Choice Gold Award" Form<<< Become a patron:PatreonOrder a copy of the book here (US & Canada):Order on Wellesley BooksOrder on Amazon.comOrder a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus):Order on Amazon.co.ukOrder on FoylesFollow us on social media:InstagramTwitterVisit our website:WebsiteSources: Victoria's Book https://www.britbox.co.uk/program/The_Parachute_Murder_Plot_55564 https://www.itv.com/news/2020-07-13/from-marriage-to-murder-plot-the-series-of-events-that-led-to-emile-cillers-ending-up-behind-bars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOqJqZI4-fw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9HZ7By9pgw
