Robert Black. Continuing with The Lost Girls multi episode tale then this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, was the individual heading to trial for these, Robert Black, indeed the man responsible for the deaths of Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg and Sarah Harper - and almost Theresa Thornhill?

'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. Continuing with The Lost Girls multi episode tale then this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, was this indeed the same man?

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. This is Teresa's story.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature and involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

The corner shop was just 150 yards away from her home, and the journey was one that ten year old Sarah Harper had made countless times before - just two minutes walk away.

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.

I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. 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.

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.

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.The tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, a horrific tale from Manchester back in 2016, shows just what horrific consequenses paranoia can bring.

Concluding the tale begun last time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which dealt with the horrific rape and murder of a young girl on a winter's night back in the North Wales town of Flint, in January 1976. It was a fast moving investigation back at the time, which quickly led to an arrest, charges, and ultimately, imprisonment. And that was it - or so it was thought. But four decades later, the case was heard once again before a court - because, had police caught the right killer at the time? Or, had the real killer long been roaming free?The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving children, involving injury detail and descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

We head back to the January of 1976 this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a two part tale, a local one for me, that has tragedy and loss written all through it. It is a case that ultimately was to span four decades in total, with several twists and turns as you will hear throughout, and it all centred around a 15 year old girl named Janet....I don't think it's a tale you will forget either.
