Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀The season one finale of I Could Murder A Podcast sees Tom and Ben travel back to the swinging seventies and all the way to Santa Cruz, California. As they look at the disturbingly captivating case of Ed Kemper: The Co-Ed Killer...The year is 1973, it’s dawn, a six-foot nine-inch shadow silhouettes underneath misty streetlights by a gas station in Pueblo, Colorado. The weary figure of a tall man casts itself back and forward as he paces up and down the rocky roadside. He has inexplicitly just spent the last 48 hours and almost 1500 miles driving nonstop from the seaside town of Santa Cruz, California. Functioning only on the caffeine pills he’s consumed; the giant of a man is close to collapse – physically, emotionally, mentally. He checks his car radio again and again, switching stations back and forth, waiting to hear his story break the news. Nothing is reported, nothing is revealed. His heart still racing, he makes his way into a phone booth. Spilling his heart to the answering detective, his confessions are met with disregard and disbelief. And he is told to call back at a more appropriate hour. Dawn turns to daylight and he makes a second call. This time reaching friend, Detective Jim Connor. The stranger again spills his heart, calling for help and unloading his confessions. In shock, the Santa Cruz Police Department follow up the confessions, bewildered and in disbelief, the “gentle giant” has led them straight to two dead bodies in his house. With many more to follow. “Big Ed” as he is affectionately known in the local police hangout bar, revealshimself as “The Co-Ed Killer”.How did Kemper charm and manipulate psychiatrists to discharge him? What drove him to kill his own family members multiple times? Why did he decide to hand himself in? And how was he able to maintain friendships with police officers working the case?Tune in, and all will be revealed!Big thanks to voiceover artist Christopher Ragland for our amazing introduction!**Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.

Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀An I Could Murder A Podcast first – ICMAP Episode 4 sees Tom and Ben explore one of the UK’s most infamous (and most deadly) female serial killers – Beverley Allitt, more commonly known as the Angel of Death…Coughs, colds, and fevers are all common place during the grey Winter Months of the United Kingdom. Sickness bugs regularly wind their way through workplaces and schools, spreading from person to person. Thankfully, the UK has a National Health Service in place, waiting with open arms to help those who need it most. It is February 22nd, 1991, the adoring parents of 7-week old Liam Taylor grow concerned – as any new parent would do – with a slight cough that Liam has developed during his short time at the family home. Due to the very early age of the newborn, the parents are referred to take Liam to Ward 4 of The Grantham and Kesteven Hospital, a children’s ward located in the Lincolnshire region of England. Doting and attentive to young Liam, the cheerful couple park up and make their way into Ward 4. As they sign in, they are greeted with enthusiasm by a bright and brimming young nurse, who is immediately and intently focused on their young baby boy. Liam is placed into the care of those best placed to provide it and is gently wheeled away with caution from the reception area down into the Children’s Ward. The name tag of the young nurse reads Beverly Allit; a name that would go on to strike fear into the hearts and minds of parents and children all across the country. Little Liam is now in the hands of the Angel of Death.What influenced this baby-faced, baby-voiced young lady to commit such despicable acts on those most defenceless? Could she have been stopped much sooner in order to prevent further victims? Why was she always covered in bandages and plasters and why did she choose to have a perfectly healthy appendix removed? Do nurses become murderers or do murderers become nurses?Tune in and all will be revealed!***Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.

Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀This week in ICMAP Episode 3, Tom and Ben go back 18 years and visit their homeland of Cambridgeshire in order to explore one of the most prominent cases their childhood (and the Cambridgeshire region itself) has ever seen: Ian Huntley and the Case of Holly & Jessica: The Soham Murders…In the early evening of August 4th 2002, in the small rural Cambridgeshire village of Soham, two 10-year-old girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, left their family barbecue wearing matching Manchester United shirts. The girls were making their way to buy sweets and pop from a local shop and then return to the family party. Unannounced, the girls walked towards ‘Number Five College Close’ – a house on the grounds of their local school. Sat on the driveway was school caretaker: Ian Huntley. The girls asked Huntley if “Miss Carr”, Ian’s Partner at the time, had got the permanent teaching position at their school – he replied that “unfortunately, she had not”, and then claimed, in the multiple police and journalist interviews that would follow, that the girls told him to say sorry to her on their behalf and then “skipped off happily down the street”. The girls, however, were never seen again...What really happened behind closed doors in Number Five College Close that evening? What drove Huntley to commit such an evil act? Why was Huntley so involved in the media frenzy that would follow? How was Huntley able to evade police and a national manhunt in plain sight for almost two weeks? And how involved was Huntley’s partner, Maxine Carr?Tune in and all will be revealed!***Please kindly give the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you find us in your ears at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to tune into ICMAP! You may hear the audio quality is not quite up the standard of Series 2 onwards - we were still finding our feet as a podcast. Rest assured, the production quality does improve ♥️💀This week, Tom and Ben look into one of America’s most forgotten serial killers: the dangerously charming Paul John Knowles, more commonly known as The Casanova Killer...It's the night of July 26th, 1974 – George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby” tops the charts across the USA. Upbeat melodies fill the air and people embrace amidst the magic of Seventies America. Counterculture in full-swing and the “free-love” movement midway through its second decade, promiscuous adolescents pack the bars to the rafters. Music continues to flow as strangers engage, dancing and drinking the night away. With “newly-mets” leaving together, a lonely figure remains at the bar. Taking no notice in anything but the alcohol he consumes, he continues to lift his glass. Drink after drink, after drink. The bar now empty, it’s his time to leave. But he remains glued to the bar. Undeterred by the waitress’s requests, a bouncer approaches. A knife is plunged into the bouncer’s chest and the attacker tries to flee. Pinned down by the bouncer and assisting bar staff, the police are called in. They make the arrest of the drunken stranger and take him to his cell. In the early hours HOWEVER, and in a drunken daze, the stranger picks the lock to his cell and escapes into the Jacksonville night. Little did they know, this mysterious drunken escapee would that night go on to become The Casanova Killer… So, who is The Casanova Killer and why did he go on to take the lives of so many innocent people? How did he put each victim under his spell? What were his motivations behind his killing spree? How was he able to escape time after time? What did he do with his taped confessions? And how did he remain at large for so long?
