Mums Mysteries & Murder

Marti & Cheryl

We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Cheryl Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.

The Marree Man | Australia's Giant Desert Geoglyph, Our 5th Birthday Episode & A Big Announcement
There's a lot going on in this episode so strap yourself in! Today - if you're listening on the day this drops we're celebrating five years of Mums Mysteries & Murder... with our 70th episode and we've got a big announcement! Before we get into the mystery, we're sharing some exciting news about the future of the podcast! Then we're heading deep into the Australian Outback to investigate one of Australia's strangest unsolved mysteries: The Marree Man. Stretching over 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) across a remote desert plateau, this enormous geoglyph appeared without warning in 1998. Visible only from the air! How was something this enormous carved into one of the most isolated parts of Australia without anyone noticing? Was it an elaborate art project? A military prank? The work of an eccentric artist? Or is there another explanation entirely? Sources for this episode are: The Australian Times Australia's Dessert Enigma - discovery.com In this episode, we also chat about what we were doing in 1998, more cruise chat, aliens and crop circles and Cheryl drops a surprising story about her past!

The First Modern Murder - The Jigsaw Murders
Trigger warning: dismemberment is mentioned in this episode In 1935, in the town of Moffat, a young woman was out on a walk with her Mother and noticed a bundle wrapped in cloth, which on first glance looked like nothing much, but on further investigation, there were over 70 different body parts wrapped in cloth and newspaper scattered all around the area. Many historians describe it as one of the first truly modern forensic investigations. We also talk about what were watching - SO MUCH! The problem with changing your name to something difficult to pronounce & many, many penpal stories.

The Mysterious Deaths of Dr Bogle & Mrs Chandler
* This episode has a few audio issues, but we know you dont listen to MM&M for perfection so we know you'll love it regardless. This is down to the fact probably that it was not edited by our beloved editor Erin. Early on the morning of New Year's Day in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood in 1963 2 young boys out looking for golf balls got more than they bargained for when they discovered the half-naked body of a man partially covered by his clothes which had been thrown over the top of him alongside a square of carpet beside a river in a secluded tree-lined area. At first, the boys thought he was a drunk party leftover from New Year's, but soon discovered things were slightly more sinister. We bet you'll never guess whodunit! This is a particularly intriguing, very well-known case in Australia with some very interesting characters. Sources: Mamamia article The 2006 documentary - Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?

Come down a rabbit hole with us and listen to the intriguing tale of the Rabbit Wars of St Andrews as told by Cheryl! This story takes us all the way back to 1797 and includes no less than 900 rabbits and the selling of the famous St Andrews Golf Course. Trigger warning - Rabbits will get hurt in this episode You might have guessed, but this is a slightly lighter episode than our recent episodes. In the words of Cheryl "It's Downton Abbey with significantly more rabbits!" We also talk about what makes a great true crime podcast. We'd also love to hear your thoughts on this, if you'd like to let us know what you look for. And, we chat childhood traumas! And of course, there's also a lot of golf talk.
