Episode 31: Australia - The Murder of Betty Shanks
August 22, 2022
•106m
It’s September 19, 1952, and Betty Shanks' father is waiting up for her to arrive home from her evening classes. The Shanks family lives on Montpelier Street in the safe and peaceful suburb of Grange in Brisbane, Queensland. Betty was routine and punctual and should have arrived home around 10 pm at the latest, so by 1:30 am when she still wasn't home, her father grew concerned and reported her missing to the authorities.
Just 4 hours later, at 5:30 am, Alex Stewart, who was one of the neighbours and an off-duty police officer, went outside his home to grab his newspaper when he saw the violently beaten body of a woman on his neighbour’s property line on the corner of Carberry Street and Thomas Street.
The body was that of 22-year-old Betty Shanks, who had last been seen at 9:32 pm the night before when she got off a tram (streetcar) at Days Road Terminus in Grange after attending her night classes in the city. The foul play that she met on her short walk home to Montpelier Street has led to one of the oldest and most notorious unsolved murder cases in Queensland, Australia...

Episode 33: UK - ”Daft Peter” Serial Arsonist & Mass Murderer (Part 1)
September 12, 2022
•56m
In the early hours of December 4, 1979, in the small English city of Hull, Edith Hastie woke up with an overwhelming feeling of dread...
Running out of her bedroom and onto the landing, she sees flames shooting up the stairs. She wakes up her eldest son and the two go back to the landing to rescue 9-year-old Thomas. Edith and Charlie were beaten back by the flames and smoke and moved to the front bedroom, where Charlie desperately pushed his mother out the window to save her. She urged Charlie to jump too, but he ignored her, determined to rescue his other brothers, Paul, and Peter. All 3 boys were trapped by the flames and smoke, and by the time fire services arrived on the scene, Paul, Peter, and Charlie were suffering from severe burns. Thomas was rescued with less serious burns.
Firemen immediately suspected that the fire was no accident, and what started as an arson inquiry soon became an investigation into 3 murders when Paul, Peter, and Charlie all died from their injuries. But it didn't stop there...
Join us for Episode 33 as we discuss Britain's most prolific serial murderer (and serial arsonist) "Daft Peter" Dinsdale aka Bruce George Peter Lee.
