  • S2:E3 - Maury Travis / Kriss Donald
    Mar 20 2022

    S2:Episode 3 - Carla puts the gruesome activity of Maury Travis under the microscope- a man who inflicted torture on his targets and a blunt danger to women across St. Louis, Missouri. Remorseless in his motives, but choosing ultimately his own death over the accountability a jail sentence would bring… The only remaining mystery is the true scale of his victims, in numbers.

    Phil recounts the savage killing of Scottish teenager Kriss Donald. A ratcheting of racial and gang tension in his corner of Glasgow came to its violent end, with Donald attacked and abducted by a group of five men of Pakistani descent. Attempts to flee prosecution abroad by 3 of the suspects only sought to bring forth their unprecedented extraditions back to the UK, and further widen the discussion of how racially-motivated murder can be presented to the public in different ways.

  • S2:E2 - Christopher Newsom & Channon Christian / Lin & Megan Russell
    Feb 16 2022

    S2:Episode 2 - Phil unfolds the devastating crime against young Tennessee darlings Christopher Newsom & Channon Christian. Both became victims of a ruthless carjacking, which was merely the beginning of their fatal ordeal at the hands of a cruel collective. The tragedy of this case was further mired by allegations of racial bias and a near-leniet focus on the culprits by local media.

    Carla looks deep into the troubled life of Michael Stone, convicted for the dual murder of mother/daughter Lin & Megan Russell. A cursory glance at his litany of crimes and jail sentences points towards a rampant career criminal, bourne of a childhood of violence and abuse... Yet he's always vehemently protested his mistaken identity to the Russell killings- Could these pleas of innocence hold any grain of truth?

  • S2:E1 -Amanda Taylor / Javed Iqbal
    Jan 31 2022

    In S2:Episode1 - Carla looks into the harrowing account of Virginia native Amanda Taylor- dubbed The Selfie Killer. As she struggled to process the suicide of her husband Rex, her grief quickly became poisoned and twisted into bitter vengeance... With her father-in-law firmly in her sights as the one responsible for the death of her partner- and the one who should suffer. All the more perverse is the open satisfaction she took in her eventual crimes, broadcasting her proud acts across social media, and speaking remorselessly about her motivations in interviews that followed.

    Phil continues his keeness to bring you some of the biggest homicide cases in a particular country's history- this time looking towards Pakistan and the heinous actions of child killer/molester Javed Iqbal. The blend of his mother's death and a grievance with Lahore Police were very much the twisted driving force behind his countless murders, in little over the space of a year. His choice of victim was troubling too, seemingly focusing on vulnerable runaway boys from 6 to 16, and subjecting them to further unimaginable horrors.
