In this very special 'thank you' episode the girls cover the brutal case of the Ken and Barbie killers, a Canadian couple who abducted, viciously raped and murdered multiple women, including Karla's own teenage sister Tammy. After the pair were caught Karla was quick to put the blame solely on Paul but the evidence casts considerable doubt on her claims of helplessness   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One Saturday morning in November 2010 Sally Challen walked into the kitchen and hit her husband Richard in the head with a hammer. She hit him over 20 times. In the trial that followed Sally was painted as a possessive, jealous woman who murdered her husband in cold-blood. This year, in 2019, Sally won a land mark appeal to have her conviction overturned as a fresh defence was shaped around her mental state owing to the years of emotional and psychological abuse she had suffered at the hands of her husband.  https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/she-killed-her-husband-but-sally-challen-might-be-the-real-victim https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/29/devoted-wife-who-killed-husband-with-hammer-sally-challen https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/sally-challen-appeal-husband-killed-david-court-a8799681.html%3famp   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the late 2000s a spate of South Asian and Middle Eastern Men in Toronto's Gay Village vanished. The local community noticed almost immediately by the police seemed unable or unwilling to investigate the disappearances. By the time they realised that they had a serial killer on their hands the situation had escalated into horror movie proportions.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 1975, two little boys, Frannie and Barry were playing on the site of an old Mother and Baby home in Tuam, County Galway, when they discovered a pit full of bones. Later that same year, Mary Moriarty fell into a tunnel in the same spot, where she saw piles little bundles laid on top of each other like steps. It would take the tireless research of Catherine Coreless to uncover the grim reality of what they actually saw. Catherine's discovery would shake Ireland and shed light on the Catholic Church's not so secret past.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2018 on the tiny Scottish island of the Isle of Bute, 6 year old Alesha MacPhail vanished from her bed in the middle of the night. The community was left reeling when just a few hours later her body was found. The question that tore though the small town now was who could have done this? And when the truth was revealed it was more shocking than anyone could have imagined.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
