We head to the UK county of Derbyshire, and back to the early 1960's, for our tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast. It's a tale that surely should be more familiar than it is, and spans a number of years, even jumps to a different country - and all begins with a crashed "Bubble" car...... The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving references to sexual activity and containing references to homophobic slurs that some listeners may find offensive, disturbing, and or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

26: Thriller - Part 9: The Aftermath

A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse. Listen to SUSPECT: http://wondery.fm/Suspect_TCEnthusiast  

Introducing - Suspect

In the penultimate episode of this series' Thriller arc, we now have David John Mulcahy stood in the dock, accused of countless horrendous crimes. The evidence against him was strong - yet nothing stronger than the words of his former best friend, John Francis Duffy, who stood just feet away from him - but this time, in the witness box, giving evidence. This then, is Taller and Shorter - but would testimony be enough? And was their unspeakable bond now really broken? How was such a bond - strong enough to rape and murder, and then remain silent for almost a decade - how was that even created? Let's see how Taller and Shorter came to be such a duo. The episode contains graphic details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature and depictions of violence, and also including depictions of extreme animal cruelty that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

25: Thriller - Part 8: When Monsters Meet

We are edging towards the conclusion of the Thriller multi episode arc right now - an arc that has seen multiple rapes, three horrific murders, the largest investigation of it's kind for years, groundbreaking investigative tools - and finally, we have seen Shorter - John Francis Duffy - brought to justice. Except that still leaves one loose end, doesn't it? Let's see if that loose end could be tied up then.

24: Thriller - Part 7: A Bond Broken

Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects. As Benita crosses professional lines to be with him, she learns how far Paolo will go to protect his secrets. And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question. From Wondery comes Season Three of the hit podcast, Dr. Death. MIRACLE MAN tells the story of a globe-trotting surgeon who seduces the medical world, and sweeps one woman off her feet. Hosted by Laura Beil.   Listen to Dr. Death Season 3: Miracle Man: http://wondery.fm/DDS3_CrimeEnthusiast 

Introducing - Dr Death: Season 3: Miracle Man

When we left the Thriller arc last time, in their hunt for the multiple rapists and suspected single triple killer, police had just utilised the services of Professor David Canter, who helped Operation Trinity with the then groundbreaking investigative tool of the psychological profile. Sure enough, it was near enough right on the money, and when applied to the suspect pool, made one name jump right out at police:  John Francis Duffy.  It led to charges being brought for multiple rapes - and the murders of Alison Day, Maartje Tamboezer, and Anne Lock, with Duffy scheduled to face trial for these in January 1988. So let's see how that went.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

23: Thriller - Part 6: The Man With The Laser Eyes

As we pass the midway point of the Thriller arc, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, with countless rapes and two, but a suspected three murders linked to Operation Trinity, by this stage, police turned to an as yet untested, ground-breaking new investigative tool in the hunt for the two individuals we have come to know as Taller and Shorter. The results of it were to prove astonishing.

22: Thriller - Part 5: Profile

This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in a continuation of this series' Thriller arc, the horrendous campaign of rape and then murder carried out by the two individuals we have come to know for now as Taller and Shorter took another turn - for with the case of a missing Hertfordshire woman, police who were hunting them soon had the very real fear that they had struck again. She was a newly-wed, having been married for just four weeks.

21: Thriller - Part 4: The Lost Bride

Continuing this series Thriller arc, the two individuals we have met so far throughout the tale had soon gravitated from the appalling catalogue of sexual assaults they had carried out in the North London area over a period of three years. At the very end of 1985, they had crossed the thin line from rapist to killer with the appalling murder of a 19 year old secretary named Alison Day. And almost five months later, they struck again, this time managing to add a new predatory dimension to their campaign.

20: Thriller - Part 3: Operation Bluebell

In the opening episode of this series Thriller arc, we were introduced to two individuals who from the middle of 1982 onwards, carried out an appalling catalogue of sexual assaults in the North London area. The attacks gained in proficiency and frequency, then at least one of the men branched out and began attacking women alone - as well as in tandem with his partner. And finally, for whatever reason, sexual assault just wasn't enough - a step further was wanted, or needed. So with just two days of 1985 remaining, the line from rapist to killer was crossed by each. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
