The Unsolved Murder of Journalist Jill Dando

Jill Dando was one of the most high profile personalities in England in 1999. She had been named BBC Personality of the Year and her career as a journalist was going from strength to strength. She was the host of ‘Crimewatch’ – a show similar to America’s Most Wanted, and she presented the television news daily.

Her personal life was also flourishing. She was engaged to Dr Alan Farthing (Queen Elizabeth’s personal doctor), and their wedding was set for later in 1999.

On April 26, 1999, Jill went to her house in Fulham, London. She was selling the property because she had moved in with Alan. She went to her own place sporadically to get mail. As she put her keys to the lock, a man ambushed Jill. He pressed a gun to her head and fired. Jill Dando was murdered in cold blood.

Now, almost 24 years later, Jill’s murder remains unsolved. A man named Barry George was arrested for the crime and was later acquitted. Was Barry really responsible? Could her murder have been the result of a jilted lover? Was Jill murdered as retribution for her role in Crimewatch? Or was she targeted for her journalistic involvement in the Kosovo War?

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the unsolved murder of ‘Crimewatch’ host Jill Dando.

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

The months before Corinna Slusser turned 19 were rocky, to say the least. It was 2017, she wasn’t getting along with her mom, she dropped out of high school right before graduation and she had a failed suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital.   While she was in the hospital, she met a man who would ultimately change the course of her life forever. Corinna left all of her belongings behind.  Taking only the clothes she was wearing, her phone and her ID, she headed to New York City in August 2017 with this man to follow her dreams. Corinna began escorting and working for various pimps before she vanished completely in September, 2017. Those who saw her last are quick to say she ran off, but police believe something much more sinister happened and that she became a victim of human trafficking. In this episode we discuss Corinna's disappearance and the prevalence of sex trafficking in the USA.  We also chat about the news that has had us all gripped this week -  the cases of runaway teen Madison Bell and the shocking murder of Alejandro Ripley.  Be sure to check out our blog for a timeline of Corinna’s disappearance plus screenshots of now deleted social media from those involved.
