Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we take a look at one of the most infamous serial killers in British history, that of Dennis Nilsen.

This case shows how the “unassuming” amongst us may well be the ones to look out for, the phrase “it’s always the quiet ones” has never been more apt to describe the utter horror of the acts committed by the now deceased Nilsen.

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

Today we dive into a haunting case of patricide, and take a look at what causes a mild mannered introverted teenager to shoot his own father dead? How this ends throws up many questions such as how custody hearings are carried out, right through to how to decide between premeditated and “heat of the moment” murders, and where does the right to defend yourself stop?...or even begin?

Today we discuss one of the most profound, disturbing, and quite frankly borderline unbelievable case of Gypsy Rose Blanchard. A case such as this truly exposes the potential impact of undiagnosed and untreated mental health conditions, and how, almost like dominoes, that impact can affect generation after generation. We look at the blurred lines between defence and premeditated attack, although written down that seems rather black and white, as we’ll discover, nothing ever truly is.

For episode 3, we take a close look at the life, death, connections and enemies of one of the most mysterious and shadowy Italian figures, the one and only Roberto Calvi.

Today we look at one of the most insidious alleged crimes we will possibly look at. Not because of any gore, or terror, but because the apparent players in the game are the very people we not only pay our taxes to, but also vote in to office, the Government itself.

On our Season 3 debut, we introduce you not only to a new, more laid-back format, but also to the ghastly deeds of one Juan Corona – The Orchard Reaper. There are so many human narratives that fit in to both killer and victim it was hard to summarise, from the expected awful upbringings to the willingness to show gumption from a migrant worker. One thing is undeniable, 25 men, simply looking for a better life, had that life taken away from them in the most callous fashion.

On our Season 2 Finale, we take a deep dive in to the upbringing, turbulence, and eventual crime spree of non-other than Aileen Wuornos – Damsel of Death. There is so much to unpack in this case it’s untrue. From the judicial systems action, or inaction on both gender and mental health, to the sometimes thin line between victim and perpetrator.

On our penultimate episode of Season 2, we take a look at the crime of Jennifer Pan, an individual who hired people to assault and murder her parents in order, she claims, to escape their strict parenting. However separating fact from fiction proved to be a tough task for those involved.

On Episode 8, we dive in to the timelines of a criminal who cause a complete overhaul of how crimes committed by the mentally ill should be dealt with. Yet again, when faced with “Insanity” pleas, its often the actions both prior and post event which determine the outcome. One thing is for sure, although Albert Fish was only sentenced for one, single murder, by his own admission, the disappearance of hundreds of unaccounted for children, may be down to “The Vampire of Brooklyn”.

On Episode 7, we take a dive in to a literal cultural icon, or more succinctly, her horrific murder at the hands of one of the most infamous crime “families” in history, that, of The Manson Family. This is the story of Sharon Tate, an aspiring actress and expectant mother, brutally slaughtered due to one man’s crazed delusions.

On Episode 6, we move in to the second half of the season with a close look at one of the most bizarre murderers history has ever provided, none other than David Berkowitz – The Son of Sam. What made this young man from an apparent loving home become so deranged they believed the were taking commands from demons? And, more pressingly, did he act alone? Or are there more “Son’s” out there right now?

Today we give you a sneak peek at the podcast our Patreons receive fortnightly, "Cold Case" where we look at some of the most famous unsolved cases.

On this episode, we take a look at one of the clearest cover-ups of a criminal act in history, that of the disappearance of the Sodder Children. What causes almost an entire community to act in unison against one particular family? Or, is it as they say, simply a case of an electrical fault causing an awful family tragedy?

How do two 12-year-old girls whip themselves up in to such a frenzy that they begin believing not only in fictional characters, but also that they can literally get away with murder?

On today’s second episode about Fred and Rose West, we are delving into the middle of the timeline, the killings. This is not for the faint hearted, as we hear about their methods of kidnap and physical abuse. Plus their nonchalant attitude to committing atrocities that most minds could not even imagine.

On today’s first episode looking at the lives of Fred and Rose West, we learn of their upbringing and any mitigating factors which may lend a clue to at least part of their twisted psyche. Certain things in this world become much more dangerous when combined, fire and gasoline, tides and earthquakes, and most certainly, Fred West & Rosemary Letts.
