Episode 4 - The Bodies in the Trunk & The Prodigal Son

Tamperproof packaging, of course, is a fact of modern life. In an era when all manner of crazies believe they have a cause worth killing for, where manufacturers face massive lawsuits should their products cause harm, you just can’t get around it. But there was a more innocent time not that long ago when such measures did not exist. Back in those days you could pluck a bottle of painkillers from the shelf, screw off the top, and find no more protection than a wad of cotton wool. Jealousy is a natural human emotion. It is, however, when emotions run high that all rational thinking is lost and situations among friends and acquaintances can become a chain reaction of out-of-control decisions that ultimately lead to the death of innocent people. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crimes-of-yore/message

What makes this crime even more appalling is that the torture was carried out by at least a dozen neighbourhood children, some as young as ten. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crimes-of-yore/message

Episode 1 - The Girl in the Basement

We live in a society obsessed with monsters. Monsters are real, and human beings can be the scariest of them all. It’s an unfortunate fact that real life is sometimes even more twisted than the worst horror writer can imagine. Nowhere is this seen more than when discussing these slayers. There are people who genuinely believe that killers are a strictly contemporary phenomenon, a symptom of something horribly amiss in the moral fabric of modern society. Killers have always existed. I think that the quality and depth of the research will enable all groups to benefit from it. Having the benefit
