Episodes
Today’s episode is probably the epitome of evil. We are tackling the subject of Nazi doctors.
There’s no way we can cover all the heinous acts that were perpetrated by these foul creatures. Nor is there enough time to tell you about them all. What we decided to do was talk a little about the backdrop of Nazi Germany and then discuss a handful of these so called medical professionals.
This is an infuriating topic with so much to h...
OK, so this was an episode we were looking forward to for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we have our first guest joining us, my wee brother Mark. Secondly, it’s our first mobster episode and as a fan of The Godather, The Sopranos etc, I was happy to research a bit about that genre.
Our sound quality was a bit off, I apologize, It was one of our first recordings and we’ve come a long way. Our old sound recording service wasn’t great...
This episode is a horrible tragedy, perpetrated by a despicable man. Bruce Pardo was a selfish, vindictive and evil human being who killed 9 members of the Ortega family on Christmas Eve.
Those he left alive struggled to process what happened but they moved forward, determined to live for those that were lost.

Today’s episode is a tragic double murder that not only resulted in heartache for two families, and the quiet town of Logan Ohio. It also resulted in the wrongful arrest and conviction of a man who went on to spend 7 years in prison for the crimes.
It would take decades to get the real perpetrators and some sense of justice. Two sadistic and cruel career criminals met and together they would take the lives of Todd Schultz and Anne...
Today’s episode is the conclusion to our Bible John series. This one has so many twists and turns that you will find hard to believe. Even if you think you know the case you will still be surprised.
There is corruption, coverups and leads old and new. Was this the work of one psychopath or multiple different criminals? We will let you decide after hearing the facts.
One thing is certain, these cases were mishandled from the outse...
It’s here! Episode 1 of our Bible John coverage. This is an incredibly tense, frustrating and barbaric ride. Today we cover what life was like for these women, living in 1960’s Glasgow and their murders.
We find out that my wee mum Liz has more than a few parallels to the victims and we have a bit of banter too.
This case is synonymous with Glasgow and it’s that case of love to see solved. It’s frustrating, riveting and scary all...
Today’s cases are truly terrifying. I know I always say this but I mean it. It’s the stuff of nightmares. I could imagine this in a scary movie.
This is the life and crimes of Daniel LaPlante. I can only describe him as a monster, a devil, a truly unhinged human.
He was spurned after one date with Tina Bowen and went on to do the most insane acts as revenge.
This will haunt you.

Today’s episode is one we chose to remind everyone that it’s never too late to receive justice. More importantly, it shows how one crime or act of violence can ripple through a family and change everyone’s life forever.
Sonia was a beautiful, self sufficient, single mother. When she came home from dropping her daughter off at school she was attacked, abused and murdered.
Police thought they knew who killed her but a jury wasn...
Today’s episode is a little different from cases we have covered before. Yes it’s devastatingly horrific. Yes, it’s a crime committed by an absolute animal. But no, his victim doesn’t die. This is a SURVIVAL tale.
Little Jennifer Schuett endured horrors you can’t even imagine but she was strong. She fought for justice, for 20 years she would push to show she was stronger than the psychopath who hurt her. She wouldn’t rest until he...
We say this all the time but this episode really is very disturbing. It made our hearts ache and we cried together while talking about little 9 year old Lisa.
On October 31st 1973 she did what all children do, she went out trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. When she failed to return as expected, her mother wasted no time getting police and locals to search for her. Unfortunately she would cross paths with a psychotic pedophile ...
If I picture the monster under the bed, I see this guys face. Today’s episode covers the life and crimes of Peter Tobin, a Scottish born sadistic, psychopath who killed at least 3 young women.
His cruelty was extensive and abhorrent. This particular episode does have a warning for content that some may find disturbing.

On The 21st of October, just after school had begun. A spoil tip from the coal mine above the village of Aberfan, in Wales, began to slide down the mountain and into the two schools below.
The devastation was complete and the town, and country, were changed forever. It is one of the worst mining disasters the world has ever seen, and it still holds the record for the most devastating event, involving children, in UK history.
The s...
In today’s episode we cover the murders committed by the despicable, sadistic, Sunderland Strangler. This evil s.o.b could have, and should have been caught earlier. Unfortunately there was a lack of interest or effort from the police and it would take 4 deaths before this murderer was arrested for his crimes.
This one infuriated us and our hearts ache for the families who fought so hard to get justice for their boys and to ensure...
Happy fall y’all! Episode 7 is here for your earballs. It’s the first of two Halloween themed episodes coming to you this month because we love spooky season!
Today’s stories, yes there are two for you to enjoy, are spooky and eerie. The first was the inspiration for Wes Cravens, ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, the tale of Sawney Bean.
The second is the story of what many believe is the most dangerous spirit in the UK, Edinburgh’s MacKenzi...
In today’s episode we are covering the truly horrendous, vicious, violent and senseless murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
It boggles my mind that I hadn’t heard about this case before and, fair warning, it’s not an easy one to hear about. I literally lost sleep over it. Those who carried out the attacks were cruel and evil beyond measure.
I took solace in the actions the families took to ensure their children we...
Hello again Grievous Bodily fam! Today we are bringing you the disturbing case of Dana Sue Gray. A woman who enjoyed a hands on approach to killing. She targeted the elderly so fair warning, it’s a tough one. Over the span of only a month, this woman would kill 3 older ladies and almost take the life of a 4th victim.
Oblivious to anything but her need for control, money and her anger over perceived injustices made to her, she w...

Join us as we discuss the nuances of the case and give our thoughts and insights. You might just learn a few more Scottish words and a little about our critters at the same time.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
