Three Deadly Letters: Episode 183

Three Deadly Letters: Episode 183

In our celebrity culture, how we look has never been more important. Some people go to amazing lengths to achieve the look they want, but other 'normal' people - like you or me - take products to help them reach their goals.

In today's episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we look at what can happen when we are unaware of exactly what we are taking. And who profits from this - as there is no doubt that someone also profits from the misery caused.

Horror At The Beach: Episode 434

It was the start of the holidays as the two yound girls ran down to the beach, enjoying their freedom. Following heavy rain the evening before, the girls were enjoying a dry, sunny morning on the coast. One of the girls spotted something amongst the flotsam, near the high tide mark. As young children would, they curiously approached the mysterious object hidden in the debris. A black plastic bag lay out before them, clearly containing something large inside. The girls peered inside. Seconds later, upset and crying, they were both frantically running home from where their deeply concerned mum called the police.Support me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeWatch my YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrimeListen to the podcast about Marc Sheehanhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/5AHn7j8Y8kkdAfa8lVOU2oSourceshttps://www.uktruecrime.com/2025/03/10/horror-at-the-beach Hosted on Acast.
