Episode 18 : Dale Cregan / Byron David Smith

In Episode XVIII- Carla draws focus on Dale Cregan, and the crimes which rooted him deeply into the Manchester's criminal underworld. Tales of drugs, firearms and gang feuds won't come as a surprise... But his one-man war on Greater Manchester Police will truly shock, brought to grim life in a cold-blooded ambush in a quiet Peak District village.

Phil looks at a divisive case of home invasion, and the measures some people will go to protect what they have. Byron David Smith took defending his Minnesota house to the length of attacking his young aggressors, fatally. Many questions arise- Was this self protection or poised execution? And how or what do you define as 'victim' in a case such as this? The moral compass swings in every direction as the details unfold...

Episode 17 : Richard Huckle - Britain's worst paedophile / Richard Evonitz - The silent predator

In Episode XVII, Phil grapples the grim details dealing with the numerous indecent acts committed by Richard Huckle- once dubbed “Britain’s worst ever paedophile”. His perverse desire for gratification expanded far beyond his native Kent and took in continents across the globe; all done behind the charade of trusted roles such as teacher and photographer.

Carla looks into the case of Richard Mare Evonitz. On the surface, a man with a distinguished US Naval career and budding business entrepreneur… beneath that revealed his deviant motivations for rape and murder- young girls unfortunately being his primary focus. Needless to say, this is one episode where listeners can expect very little by way of understanding and empathy for the perpetrators involved.

Episode 16 : Leonard Lake & Charles Ng / Shanda Sharer

In Episode XVI- Carla looks at the case of Californian Killers Charles Ng & Leonard Lake... 2 dishonoured ex-Marines with troubled pasts and deviant urges. Ultimately, those urges would be realised in an isolated cabin, home to multiple murders, rape and torture.

 

Phil goes over the tragic details of Shanda Sharer, and her brutal execution at the hands of 4 adolescent girls in 90's Indiana. Jealousy and bullying are not new issues in any teenager's life, but these proved to be deadly motivators in what became Sharer's abduction and fatal torture.

Episode 15: Mark Hobson / Catherine & David Birnie.

In Episode XV- Phil looks into a case not too far from home, and not too distant from memory... Delving deep into the 00's murders committed by Yorkshireman Mark Hobson. The precision of the premeditated violence on his victims was equally meticulous and maladjusted, and a nationwide manhunt became the only way to bring forth the justice the UK demanded.

Carla takes T&T listeners much further away to the southern hemisphere, examining the crimes of Australian duo Catherine & David Birnie. A couple drawn to one another from teenage years in a deranged union of petty crimes and animal cruelty... Later developing a shared lust for suffering and murder into adulthood- all done from the comfort of their suburban Perth home.

Episode 14 : Michael Bruce Ross / Strip search scam!

In Episode XIV- Carla examines the case of Michael Bruce Ross, whose troubled Connecticut upbringing manifested itself into a devastating spree of rape and killing across 80's New England.

 

Phil investigates the absurd reality of the US phone caller with the true gift of persuasion... One conversation from this elusive scammer had victims committing lewd acts, removing clothes and removing dignity for over a decade- let's hope Phil doesn't pick up inspirational tips(!)

Episode 13: Chris Benoit / Sylvia Likens

In Episode XIII, Phil gives the T&T podcast its first foray into celebrity crime- Chris Benoit may well have held the global adulation and stardom being in the World Wrestling Entertainment gave him... But behind the theatrics of his ring character was a constant paranoia, neuroses and malice. What followed from his own hands were family homicides, rooted in his own pain and instability.

#theunspeakableisspoken

For Carla's case, she looks into the murder case of Indiana girl Sylvia Likens- A 60's sweetheart who endured a campaign of torture and dehumanisation from not only people charged with her care, but also those she call would call 'neighbour'. A tragic period of time dedicated to the mental and physical breakdown of a helpless teenage girl.

Episode 12: Karla Homolka & Paul Bernardo / Robert Maudsley

In Episode XII, Carla tackles Karla [Homolka], and the role she played alongside her husband in the rape and killing of 2 Canadian schoolgirls. Does she fit the coerced victim persona she'd crafted in the courtroom? Or was she actually the driving force of these evil actions? The world, and its press, had their say...

Phil looks beneath the surface of what would appear to be 'crazed killer thrown in a cage', to reveal Robert Maudsley- a Liverpudlian man tortured by his grime childhood and compelled to dispense brutal justice from his own 'vigilante' self image. However much he sought inner peace through murder, his demons would never leave him.

Episode 11 : Kevin Davis / Robert Ben Rhoades

In this episode, Phil examines the almost Freudian case of Texan killer Kevin Davis; tacking the ever uncomfortable crime of parental murder. The graphic details give off a crazed twist on the Oedipus tale, brought to life in a savage way by a teenager.

Carla switches her attention to another Iowa individual from the last episode - only this time, Robert Ben Rhoades is far from anyone's victim. 'The Truck Stop Killer' brought a campaign of cruelty to his victims for over a decade, under the guise of an unassuming long haul driver. Sadly, hitchhikers never stood a chance.

Episode 10: Johnny Gosch / Carl Panzram

In this weeks episode, Carla drills deep down into the vanishing of an unassuming Midwestern paperboy, in a case that triggered a desperate state-wide search across Iowa. 

Tragic disappearance or calculated kidnap?

#unspeakableisspoken 

 

Phil explores the many crimes (and aliases) of the depraved Carl Panzram....A relentless killer, sodomiser, robber, with a touch of arson and a particular fondness for directing his violence towards males across America - Jack of all trades of the worst possible kind.

In this episode, Phil's case keeps crime closer to home.... a shocking case that took place in the notoriously volatile area of the 80's south Manchester, leaving behind a deep scar of endless questions to this day #theunspeakableisspoken 

And, Carla brings you a case, famously known as "The cellar girls"
