The Morgue Monster: David Fuller's Nightmare Crimes
In this deeply disturbing episode, we’re digging into the twisted double life of David Fuller—a seemingly friendly hospital maintenance worker who was hiding some of the darkest secrets imaginable. In 1987, the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce rocked the quiet town of Tunbridge Wells. For decades, the case went cold—until a DNA breakthrough in 2020 pointed to one man. But what police found after his arrest would shock the nation. Fuller didn’t just kill. He used his job at two NHS hospitals to secretly access the morgue and sexually abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 100. He kept detailed records. He filmed himself. And he went unnoticed for over 30 years. In this episode, we’ll cover: 🔹 The unsolved Bedsit Murders 🔹 The DNA match that cracked the case 🔹 The horrifying mortuary abuse 🔹 His rare whole-life sentence 🔹 The NHS inquiry—and whether this could happen again ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of sexual violence and necrophilia. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Obsession in Plain Sight: The Rachel Barber Case
In 1999, 15-year-old Rachel Barber walked out of her ballet class and vanished. What followed was every parent's worst nightmare—and a chilling tale of obsession, identity theft, and murder. This week on Serial Napper, I’m diving deep into the haunting case of Rachel Barber, a gifted young dancer whose life was stolen by someone she thought she could trust: her former babysitter, Caroline Reed Robertson. Rachel was vibrant, talented, and full of promise. Caroline was quiet, isolated, and desperate to be someone else—someone like Rachel. What unfolded was a dark and deeply disturbing story of jealousy turned deadly. From Caroline’s twisted diary entries to her shocking murder plan that involved assuming Rachel’s identity, we break down every step leading up to that tragic day, the police investigation, and the chilling court revelations.

The Lie Behind the Swipe: Grace Millane’s Final Hours
Grace Millane was just 22 years old when she set out on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo trip around the world. Smart, independent, and full of life, she was exploring New Zealand when she matched with a man on Tinder. What happened next shocked the world. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dive into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane — a young British traveller whose life was tragically cut short in what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world. I follow Grace’s journey, her final hours, and the disturbing cover-up attempts by her killer, Jesse Kempson. This case isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end — it’s a gut-wrenching look at how quickly trust can be weaponized and how society continues to question victims rather than the people who harm them. 🔗 TW: This episode contains details of sexual assault, violence, and murder.

Vigilante or Villain? The Shocking Case of Jade Janks and the Death of Her Stepfather
When interior designer Jade Janks discovered hundreds of explicit photos of herself hidden on her stepfather’s computer — some dating back to when she was just 16 — her world shattered. Days later, Tom Merriman, co-founder of a beloved butterfly sanctuary in Encinitas, California, was dead. What happened in the hours between that horrific discovery and Tom’s final breath? Was it premeditated murder... or a panicked act of vigilante justice? In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent memory. From shocking screenshots and deleted hard drives to text messages like, “I just dosed the hell out of him,” this case is layered in betrayal, trauma, and moral gray areas that’ll leave you questioning everything. Was Jade seeking justice, or hiding a crime? Hit play — and then you be the judge.

The Fall That Wasn't: The Murder of Susann Sills
On the morning of November 13, 2016, fertility doctor Dr. Eric Scott Sills called 911 from his San Clemente home, claiming he had found his wife, Susann Sills, unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. He said she’d fallen. But the scene told a far more chilling story. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dig into the suspicious death of 45-year-old Susann Sills—an ambitious, witty, and driven woman who helped build a successful fertility clinic alongside her husband. While her death was initially believed to be an accident, forensic evidence, troubling text messages, and a twisted courtroom theory involving the family dogs told a very different tale. Nearly two and a half years after Susann’s death, Dr. Sills was arrested and charged with her murder. This case would unfold over years, full of bizarre claims, devastating testimony from their children, and one of the most unusual defences we’ve ever heard in a true crime trial.

Strangers in the Dark: The Murder of Sarnia Teacher Noelle Paquette
On New Year’s Eve 2012, beloved kindergarten teacher Noelle Paquette disappeared after leaving a party alone. Less than two days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area outside Sarnia, Ontario, brutally taken by two strangers with a twisted fantasy that turned into a nightmare. In this episode of Serial Napper, I unravel the disturbing and heartbreaking case of Noelle Paquette: a woman remembered for her kindness, selflessness, and radiant spirit. You’ll hear how a nurse and a 19-year-old man connected through a BDSM fetish website and plotted an unthinkable crime. I take you through the investigation, shocking confessions, and the emotional courtroom impact statements that left a community shaken. But this isn’t just a story of tragedy. It’s also a story of legacy. Noelle’s memory lives on through Noelle’s Gift Foundation, which has raised over $150,000 to support children and families in need, just as Noelle did during her life. This episode is graphic and emotionally intense, so listener discretion is advised.

The Fake Cancer and Fatal Betrayal of Kacee Terry
When 38-year-old Kacee Lyn Terry was found unresponsive in her Utah bedroom in August 2024, everyone believed her years-long battle with cancer had finally come to an end. But what unfolded next would shock her family, friends, and the entire community. In this episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Kacee Terry and Meggan Randall Sundwall — a licensed nurse and former friend who now stands accused of aggravated murder. Investigators say Meggan not only convinced Kacee that she was terminally ill, but also orchestrated a slow, calculated plan to end her life — with a $1.5 million life insurance payout at the center of it all. We’ll unpack the chilling evidence, including more than 28,000 text messages exchanged between the two women, deleted phone data, and the use of insulin on a woman who was not diabetic. We’ll also break down the legal implications around assisted suicide and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws in both Utah and Canada, and what obligations nurses have when it comes to end-of-life care. Was this a mercy killing, a manipulative con, or something even darker? Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including medical deception, suicide, and end-of-life care.

The Disappearance of Nicola Bulley: When True Crime Turns Toxic
Let’s go down the rabbit hole of another baffling and heartbreaking case — one that had an entire country glued to their phones, refreshing for updates, and questioning what they thought they knew about missing persons. This time, we’re heading to the quiet, idyllic village of St Michael’s on Wyre in Lancashire, a place that sounds like it belongs in a cozy countryside novel, not the center of a global media firestorm. But that’s exactly what happened when Nicola Bulley, a 45-year-old mom of two and mortgage adviser, vanished without a trace while walking her dog on the morning of January 27, 2023. Her phone was still connected to a Teams work call. Her dog was found loose but unharmed. And Nicola? Completely gone. While police leaned toward the theory that she’d fallen into the river, others weren’t so sure. Abduction theories exploded, internet sleuths packed their ring lights and headed to Lancashire, and suddenly Nicola’s deeply personal information was being broadcast for the world to scrutinize — all while her devastated family tried to make sense of their new reality.
