FROM THE VAULT - Jennifer Pan: Tiger Blood | #254
Social media is swarming with fresh takes on the Jennifer Pan story, after a new documentary became the third-most watched show on Netflix this weekend. So we wanted to re-release this classic RedHanded episode from summer 2022 – let us know your thoughts on our socials! -- When three masked men entered Jennifer Pan's family home in Markham, Ontario, it seemed like an opportunistic home break-in. But on closer inspection, all the clues pointed back inside the house – and a family murder beyond all comprehension. After all, why would the would-be robbers shoot Hann and Bich Pan in cold blood, but leave their 24-year-old daughter Jennifer Pan relatively unharmed? Why didn’t they drive off in the expensive Lexus that was parked in the drive? And why would Hann Pan run from the house, leaving his daughter tied to a bannister? -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Episode 343 - Rob Parkes: The Price of Life
Rob Parkes is not a paedophilic, drug-dealing, gang-leading tyrant. But that’s exactly what his pathologically controlling, abusive ex-wife tried to lead everyone to believe. It’s also why, she said, he had to die. In a very special episode of RedHanded, we hear directly from a man who found out there was a price on his head – and that over the years, six separate people had been approached to kill him. In interviews conducted in our studio, Rob remembers the years of coercive control; a heart-stopping arson attack at his family home in the dead of night; and the moment he learnt that his life had a price tag.

Episode 339 - Sherri Papini: The Woman Who Fooled the World
Three weeks after going missing, Californian ‘supermom’ Sherri Papini was found running down a highway with a chain tied to her waist and the word "exodus" burned into her back. Her story defied belief. Kidnapped outside of her home, by a pair of Latina women and driven hundreds of miles with nothing but mariachi music for company, it seemed almost too strange to be true. The police investigation that followed was one of the biggest in recent memory - yet it took over four years before the truth finally came out. And what detectives found, turned out to be even stranger than Sherri's bizarre story...

FROM THE VAULT - Natalia Grace: The Orphan | #305
UPDATE: Since we released our episode on the Barnetts – who said their adopted 9-year-old daughter had turned out to be a murderous, adult woman – Natalia has finally broken her silence in a six(!)-part new interview series. And the revelations are damning… Re-listen to the episode to brush up first, or skip to 1:20:00 for Hannah and Suruthi’s take on the latest shocking updates! In 2009, the horror movie Orphan told the story of a couple who take in a creepy child from a Russian orphanage who – spoiler alert – turns out to be a psychopathic adult woman. And just a year after the film’s release, real life seemed to echo fiction when the Barnetts, a wealthy American family, adopted a 6-year-old girl named Natalia Grace from Ukraine…Only to abandon her and flee to Canada within just 3 years. Why? Because according to the Barnetts, Natalia – who had a rare form of dwarfism – wasn’t a little girl at all. She was actually a 22-year-old woman dead-set on killing their whole family. In this hotly-disputed case, we explore the allegations, the evidence, and how one girl found herself at the centre of one of the weirdest true-crime mysteries in recent memory. Let’s just say that in this story, nothing is quite as it seems… -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram
