Welcome to Episode Thirty-Nine of Do You Dare?

Tune in this week for the case that’s not only been our most requested but also took place where the hosts grew up.

(Trigger warnings: Drugs.)

In this episode Em covers the disappearance of Damien Nettles that took place on the Isle of Wight back in 1996 when he was only sixteen years old.

Follow along with us as we weed through a mishandled investigation, a heap of speculation and a case that for the Isle of Wight, and your two hosts who are from there, became the subject of local lore that to this day leaves everyone who’s heard of Damien’s story with more questions than answers.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's case and we hope to see you back next episode when Cian takes on one of the most current cases we’ve covered so far.

If you have any information regarding Damien’s case please come forward and contact:

• Hampshire Police on 101, quoting ‘Operation Ridgewood’. or emailing operation.ridgewood@hampshire.pnn.police.uk.

Welcome to Episode Thirty-Eight of Do You Dare?

And It’s been a WEEK for the Do You Dare duo…

Join Em this week as she flys solo after a chaotic week of broken hard drives, colds and last minute recording, but not wanting to leave you all without an episode she had to go it alone.

In this episode Em is covering The Edmond Post Office Massacre along with some of the other tragedies that plagued the US postal service in the decades that followed.

Follow along as she dissects the life of the perpetrator Patrick Sherrill and unpacks the horrific events that left 14 people dead, six injured and ended up coining a phrase that you’ve probably all heard yet never know the dark origins: ‘Going Postal’.

Thanks to everyone who has joined us for this week's tragic case and we hope to see you back next episode as things go back to normal when Em tells Ci and everyone else about a highly requested case that is as local to the siblings as it can get.
