  • Episode 59: 'The Motel Voyeur'
    Jul 9 2024
    Do you ever feel like you are being watched? In a world where CCTV, mobile phones, doorbell cameras and body worn cameras are seemingly everywhere, we can get caught on camera when we least expect it. There is likely footage out there with our faces on it, and we don’t even realise.

    But there are spaces when we expect there to be no cameras. Public bathrooms, changing rooms, hotel rooms…. But for guests in an American motel… those expectations would not be met.

    This is Real.

  • Episode 56: The Rowe Family Murders
    Jun 18 2024
    In November 2010, a family from Kapunda, Australia were found dead in their home. They had been the victims of a vile, frenzied and evil attack.

    In a town that had almost no crime, a triple murder was the last thing anyone thought could happen, especially to the Rowe family. They were loved, respected and had many friends in their community.

  • Episode 54: The Darkest Betrayal - The Crimes of Kieren Lynch
    Jun 4 2024
    Kieren Lynch masqueraded himself as a loving husband and doting father. But whilst that was once true, over time his behaviour started to change. When his wife left him to try to give her and her daughters a happier life, Kieren started a campaign of terror against her and even his children.

    But his campaign ended in one of the most horrific acts of revenge imaginable, whilst his wife remained on the phone to 999, asking for the police, who had had many chances to stop this from happening. But they didn't.

    This is Real.
