I have the pleasure of bringing you a tale that has had the Outlines treatment, courtesy of Jess Carter, as we head back to March of 2010 this time - and next time around - on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a strange tale that for a great deal of it, so many things about it don't add up. It's a controversial case, one that still today divides a community, one that I would imagine will make you stop and think, and perhaps even one that will cause debate. And it all begins in a rural Post ...

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.

A reach into the show's Patreon back catalogue comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast - a tale that takes us back the mid 1970's, for a tragic, horrific yet unfamiliar case that's a real prime example of when pressure, when it keeps building and building, sometimes leads people to snap - sometimes resulting in the most extreme, horrific circumstances you can imagine.

The culmination of the Thriller arc of this series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here in this final episode, where we see just what David Mulcahy's conviction meant for so many - the victims, as well as the side of law and order. We catch up with developments over the twenty plus years since the conviction, and i give my own thoughts and feedback concerning the entire arc. The multi part episodes are dedicated to the women who were blighted by the pair, and the three who lost their ...

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...

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. The episode contains graphic details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving cri...

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 m...

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.

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. The episode contains details and description...

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 c...

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...

Back for the second and final part of a two part tale here, where we take up the stories of Walter "Angel Face" Probyn, and John Roger McVicar - "The Muscleman". We've heard in the previous episode the exploits of each individually, and the various scrapes and escapes that led to both of them looking at a number of years longer than a DFS sale. Those exploits are as unbelieveable as anything - so imagine what happened when you put them together, in a High Security wing? Well, that's the tale her...
