Prash's Murder Map: True Crime Podcast

Join me for the penultimate episode of this mini-series where we’ll examine the death of the final canonical victim, in a bloodbath so unimaginable that it has become one of the most memorable Ripper murders, symbolic of his spiralling descent closer and closer to hell. We’ll look at Mary Jane Kelly’s life and try to understand the strange testimony of the witnesses as we encounter a visitor dressed in astrakhan, a man with a sinister black bag bothering women in the area, a missing key and more.

Let’s look at the second part of the so-called Double Event that chilled the people of Whitechapel to the bone on 30th September 1888. Catherine Eddowes was arrested for her own safety after being found drunk in the street, and ironically met her demise just 400 yards from the police station minutes after her release, her corpse mutilated in the most vicious and disgusting way that had yet been seen.

Wrap up warm and keep looking over your shoulder, because the Autumn of Terror has just begun...

Jump in a hansom cab and come with me to the foggy, lamplit streets of London’s East End as we embark on this 7 part mini-series on the gruesome murders of arguably the most infamous serial killer of all time… Jack the Ripper. Pack your doss money and a penny for the newsboy and let’s get started with two killings that occurred just before the Autumn of Terror. Could Emma Smith and Martha Tabram have been early Ripper victims?

Black versus white, North versus South, vigilantes and a deathbed confession. Join me for all this and more as we travel to Atlanta, Georgia in 1913 to learn about the tragic death of 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan – one of the most divisive cases in history. Was the right man found guilty, or was it impossible to hold a fair trial in a state riven by racial, religious and geographic tension that had been brewing ever since the end of the Civil War?

We travel back to Minnesota in 1912 to discover the tragic case of a young woman slain just yards from home: so close to safety, yet so far from salvation. She was popular and hardworking, with a loving, happy family, and no enemies. So how was it possible that a man confessed multiple times to killing 21-year-old Alice Matthews, but nobody was ever taken to trial?

Most murderers try to hide their crimes. But this one wrote a book about it. Join me on a journey to Poland as we learn about the strange case of the failed intellectual, businessman and novelist who brutally killed his ex-wife’s lover in a jealous rage. He thought he was smarter than the police. But he was wrong.

When Quakers Hill Nursing Home hired a new member of staff without conducting proper background checks, they had no idea of the carnage that would follow, as their night shift nurse Roger Dean became one of the worst mass murderers in Australian history. Murder is always distressing, but when the victims are some of society’s most vulnerable members, it becomes even more poignant.

Last time, in the first part of this double episode, I told the story of the disguise-wearing, letter-writing serial killer operating in California’s Bay Area in 1968 and 69, who christened himself Zodiac. His choice of victim changed, as did his MO, so how do you catch a killer whose only motive is achieving infamy and mocking the police? Join me for Part 2, where we’ll analyse the killer’s behaviour and review some of the popular suspects and theories, and we’ll hear from Zodiac expert Michael Butterfield. It’s a case that’s now over 50 years old, so will the killer ever be named?

How do you catch a serial killer who picks his victims at random, and whose only motive is to taunt the police? In Part 1 of this 2-part investigation into California’s Zodiac Killer, I’ll present the story of one of the most bizarre yet compelling unsolved cases in criminal history. Coincidences, letters, ciphers, phone calls and costumes – they’re all here. Join me again next time for Part 2 where we’ll do some more analysis and a review of the suspects.

Two murders. Two sisters. One mind.

Journey with me back to the 1930s to examine one of the most grotesque and brutal double slayings in the history of France. This is not for the faint-hearted, because true crime just got even bloodier.

Board a plane with me and fly to one of the most beautiful countries in the world, forever bloodstained by the murders of at least 38 women by the South African Strangler, or, as I call him, the Black Ted Bundy. How did the injustice and brutality of apartheid contribute to a child growing up to shed the skin of his humanity and becoming a monster?

Murder mystery novels would have you believe that crimes only happen in dark, dreary places in the dead of night, but today we’re examining the tragic killing of a young girl in broad daylight on a sunny August afternoon in 1867. How did this happen in such a small, quiet town?

In 1989, students at the Ecole Polytechique in Montreal were looking forward to their Christmas break. But the hopes and dreams of 14 ambitious young women were shattered that day by a gunman on an ideologically driven rampage. We’ll pay tribute to the dead and we’ll also look at why he did it. Marc Lépine wanted to be a martyr, but he made himself into a monster. As we’ll learn, things are rarely black and white.

He said he hated women…but then he became one. In this episode, we delve deep into psychology, profiling and gender dysphoria in the case of the Frankston Killer, who terrorised a quiet suburb of Australia in the early 90s but could be released in 2023. We’ll look at nature versus nurture and what could have turned Paul Denyer into a serial murderer.

The American frontier could be a perilous place, but most stout-hearted travellers were expecting nothing worse than tumbleweed, rattlesnakes and boredom on their long ride. When people started to go missing in the Osage area, suspicion fell on a family who were not all that they seemed. A local legend says red corn grows on the prairie to this day as the very land is saturated with the blood of their innocent victims, so join me as we investigate one of the greatest puzzles of the Old West.

Pack your tent and sleeping bag, because in this episode we’re going to spend a night on the shores of Lake Bodom, the scene of one of Finland’s most famous unsolved murder cases. But it’s not the rustling leaves or the hoot of an owl that you should fear, as a vicious killer stalks the campsite. You’d better leave your flashlight switched on…

In 1939, Germans were reeling from the declaration that their country was at war. But soon, train travellers on the S-Bahn had more to fear than the darkness of the blackout, as a remorseless serial killer stalked the tracks.
