“People on the outside do not know what evil is.” In the early 1980’s Arthur Shawcross was the Genesee River Killer. We’ll talk about how after murdering two small children he was released after serving only 14 years in prison and later went on to kill at least 12 more women.

“I had never, in all my experience, seen anyone describe an event in the almost cavalier manner that Dr. MacDonald described it.” In the early morning hours of February 17, 1970, military police responded to an emergency call at the MacDonald family house at Fort Bragg. There they discovered the beaten and stabbed bodies of Colette MacDonald, the two daughters, Kimberly (5) and Kristen (2). They would also find one survivor, husband and father, Jeffrey MacDonald.

“My Daughter’s fallen, or she’s got head injuries, there’s blood everywhere, she’s on the floor” On the 15th of February 1997, 13 year old Billie Jo Jenkins was found bludgeoned to death with an 18” tent peg in the picturesque seaside town of Hastings, East Sussex, UK. She had been home alone painting the patio doors when the attack occurred, her foster father Sion Jenkins later found her seemingly lifeless body in a pool of blood. In this first episode, we discuss the strange and rather personal circumstances which surround this unsolved case - including the troubling actions of Billie Jo’s foster father, and the whodunnit that surrounds the shocking death of a young girl who had gone through a difficult childhood and hoped to find safety and protection with the “perfect” family - only for it to end in her brutal and bloody murder.
