Throw in a Baron, fraud, missing gold bars, the Knights of the Round Table, a dispute with an ex-wife and you can see there is lots of explore in this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.SponsorSponsored by WoogaPlease download the excellent June's Journey here: woo.ga/znjlhReferenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.obituaries/Dg6U7kLmlSUhttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1989-08-03-8901010846-story.htmlhttps://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SZeFTLPGtigC&pg=PT115&lpg=PT115&dq=Simon+Dale+leintwardine&source=bl&ots=iAOgdTuG9G&sig=zV_JFdF3gn5fK0Hae09nlz80EhM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjtkNS8lfXMAhVnKMAKHb0XBFAQ6AEIQjAG#v=onepage&q=Simon%20Dale%20leintwardine&f=falsehttps://www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/7504437.riddle-of-the-recluse-who-searched-for-camelot-but-found-only-death-instead/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Simon_Dalehttps://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2007/09/14/murder-at-the-mansion/ Hosted on Acast.

The Perfect Family: Episode 173

E

We see it on Facebook and other social media all the time just how perfect the lives of our friends/family are, don't we. But of course, it isn't true. We just see what they want us to see and have no reality about what really happens in their lives. Which is why it was so shocking when Paul Crymble from a small village in Northern Ireland was murdered in the summer of 2004. He lived a quiet life with his wife and children and had no ememies - just why was he killed?Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a8ff87060d03e7f57ec069ehttps://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/jacqueline-crymble-black-widows-daughter-2010043https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/jailed-husband-killer-crymble-banned-from-funeral-of-brother-34911165.htmlhttps://www.irishnews.com/news/2017/05/16/news/mother-of-paul-crymble-dies-almost-10-years-to-the-day-that-pair-found-guilty-of-his-murder-1026980/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6244548.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6272209.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/3824975.stmhttps://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/abduction-claim-of-woman-accused-of-husbands-murder-294045.htmlDavid M.Kiley.

Neighbours From Hell: Episode 172

E

Every town in the UK has some less desirable estates, and Stratford Upon Avon is no different. Beyond the tourists flocking to the place of Shakespeare's birth, life on the Clopton estate was pretty miserable for most. The Erskine family lived on the estate and were a hard-working, kind and respectful family. But they soon become a target of abuse for some of their less savoury neighbours. And on 3 January 1996, events took a terrible turn....Referenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourceshttps://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12082366.mother-says-nightmare-continued-despite-prison-sentences-for-peacemakers-killers-two-jailed-for-brutal-murder/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/gang-thugs-jailed-for-torment-that-turned-to-murder-1350256.htmlhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1939799.stmhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/gang-thugs-jailed-for-torment-that-turned-to-murder-1350256.htmlhttps://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/ian-and-anthony-erskine-twins-in-life-twins-in-death-1293737.htmlhttps://www.thefreelibrary.com/Killer%27s+brother+in+drug+death+riddle%3B+PARAMEDICS+CALL+POLICE+AFTER...-a060464038 Hosted on Acast.
