The Suffolk Strangler: Steven Wright

Huge thanks to this weeks sponsors: DEADHAPPY (use our code MURDER for 3 months FREE) and HARRY'S (get your FREE trial pack, paying only £3.95 postage)This week, the ICMAP boys explore the grizzly case of ‘The Milwaukee Cannibal’ Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer claimed seventeen victims between 1978 and 1991 (all of whom were boys and men). His gruesome murder process often but not always included: drugging, strangulation, necrophilia, dismemberment and cannibalism before he dissolved/preserved his victim’s remains in bleaches and acids. Dahmer’s shocking crime spree would lead to him becoming one of the most infamous and notorious serial killers of all time, resulting in numerous prison interviews and numerous attempts from other inmates to take Dahmer’s life…Were absent parents to blame for Dahmer’s descent into chaos? Which significant incidents during Dahmer’s childhood seemingly changed him forever? Was there enough evidence and opportunity for the police to catch and convict him far sooner? And how did Dahmer become one of the world’s most notorious serial killers to date?Tune in and all will be revealed!

This week, the ICMAP Boys explore the chilling case of Dennis Rader, also known as ‘BTK’ and ‘The BTK Killer’, (an abbreviation he gave himself for “Bind, Torture, Kill”). Rader brutally claimed ten victims throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s - during which time, he sent a series of taunting letters to the police and local newspapers before seemingly vanishing from the public eye. In 2004, Rader resumed his letters after he read an article discussing the BTK murders and the killer’s potential whereabouts. Which would lead to an unbelievable series of events that resulted in Rader’s 2005 arrest…How was Rader able to evade any possible detection for four decades? Could his actions be blamed on two significant incidents during his early childhood? Why did Rader take clothing and belongings from several of his victims? And what was the unbelievable error on Rader’s part that resulted in his capture?Tune in and all will be revealed!

Huge thanks to this week's sponsor: Dead Happy. Use our code MURDER for 3 months FREE life insurance!This week, Tom and Ben explore the chilling case of “The Brain Eater” Robert Maudsley. Maudsley is widely regarded as “Britain’s Most Dangerous Prisoner” and currently holds the record for the most time spent consecutively in solitary confinement. Though, surprisingly, he entered the British prison system having committed only one murder - with many of the public sympathising with him and claiming they he is the true victim. How did Maudsley become “Britain’s Most Dangerous Prisoner”? Was Maudsley’s volatile childhood to blame for his later actions? Did the prison services fail Maudsley or was he able to manipulate the system? Are the rumours of “The Brain Eater” true? And why is Maudsley kept in solitary for 23 hours a day within a custom-built glass prison cell? Tune in and all will be revealed!

Huge thanks to our sponsors Noom & Wine52!This week, Tom and Ben explore the life and crimes of “The Damsel of Death”: Aileen Wuornos. To say Wuornos had a turbulent childhood would be an understatement. As a youngster, she was frequently physically, emotionally and sexually abused by her own family members and many of those closest to her. As a result, Wuornos left home and embarked on a life on the road. This would ultimately result in a life heavily immersed in the world of alcohol, crime and sex work. Which would push Aileen to take an even darker turn in 1989…Is Aileen’s disturbing childhood to blame for the path she would eventually travel? How was Aileen able to survive living on the streets and living in the woods for so many years? Why did her story change so frequently throughout the legal proceedings? And was Aileen the true victim in this story?Tune in and all will be revealed!

What insights were gained from the journals and video blogs left behind? Why did Stair allow a lone survivor to flee? And could the entire event have been prevented?Tune in and all will be revealed!
