In it, the host Paul looks at and recounts in-depth true crime cases from the UK and Ireland - both solved or unsolved crimes, but more often than not the lesser known and obscure ones.

    S9 Ep11: The Girl In The Ground - Part 1
    Jul 21 2024
    It was supposed to be a simple 10 minute cycle ride home, like she had done countless times before that late September evening of 1981 - but it was never to be. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in the first of a two part story, I venture in a first for the show outside of the UK and Ireland and head to Germany, where I bring you the tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann.

    It's a tale you won't believe...

    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including a description of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

    S9 Ep10: Last Ride.
    Jul 13 2024
    Hitchhiking brings with it countless dangers, as we have seen on screen countless times and with the exploits of killers such as the West's, but for many years it was a commonplace thing to do, the dangers not thought about, merely the destination. In the winter of 1995, one such hitcher, a 19 year old French student named Celine Figard, accepted a ride that she was sadly, never to finish. Her last ride. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

  • S9 Ep9: The Girl Who Loved Horses

    S9 Ep9: The Girl Who Loved Horses
    Jul 5 2024
    Back in 1983, 14 year old Gillian Atkins had one love in her life - her horses, she was horse mad from a young age. Devoting her life to them, there were even rumblings of Gillian having a possible Olympic shot in her chosen field, so capable was she - until one April evening, that came to a crashing halt.

    As did Gillian's life.

    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

One of the Best!

Lesser known cases from the UK told with care and empathy for the victims. One of my favorite podcasts.
