    Episode 277 - Joyce McKinney: Mormon Sex in Chains

    Kirk Anderson was abducted from an LDS meeting house in Surrey by his ex-partner – and ex-beauty queen – Joyce McKinney. He said he was taken to a small rural cottage, tied to a bed, and sexually assaulted for three days. According to McKinney, everything was above board – Kirk just liked things kinky. But the British tabloids only cared about one thing: the wisecracking Southern belle Joyce McKinney made for great headlines. All the papers needed was a picture of her naked, to sell the story of the century. And they'd do anything to get it.

    Episode 275 - The Assassination of Olof Palme

    In February 1986, the prime minister of Sweden was walking home from the cinema, when a man stepped out of a shop doorway and shot him in the neck with a .357 Magnum. The killer ran down a side street – and disappeared without a trace. The mystery surrounding Olof Palme’s death is a Swedish national obsession that's barely left the headlines in the decades since. Hundreds of theories, from international hitmen to lone gunmen and police conspiracies, have swirled around one of the most extensive murder investigations in history. And then, in 2020, investigators called a press conference – to announce that they had finally found the killer…

    Episode 269 - Devil’s Dorp

    This is the story of a godly rivalry that spun out of control – taking in vampires, werewolves and the murders of eleven people. And behind it all, a 48th-generational satanic witch with 1,000 multiple personalities and a score to settle. Krugersdorp, a town northwest of Johannesburg, has always had high levels of violent crime. But when South Africa’s own satanic panic kicked into full force in the early 90s, its citizens had an altogether more unholy threat on their hands... Sources: redhandedpodcast.com

    Episode 268 - Blake Leibel: A Blueprint for Evil

    This case takes the notion of life imitating art to a newly macabre extreme. In 2010, Blake Leibel released his graphic novel, Syndrome. Described as The Truman Show meets Se7en, the story follows a rogue neuropathologist as he attempts to find a cure for evil, using a condemned serial killer as his guinea pig. Initially met with a lukewarm response, the novel garnered international attention in 2015 after Leibel seemed to use its most violent scenes to commit what's been described as "the most brutal murder in LA's history".

    Thomas Quick: The Fictional Serial Killer | #267

    In the early 1990s, Sture Bergwall, a patient at Säter mental institution in Sweden was undergoing the facility’s revolutionary memory-recovery therapy, when he revealed a shocking incident from his past: back in 1980, he had killed an 11-year-old boy. As the therapy continued, more and more brutal confessions came, until he was linked to 39 of Sweden’s most infamous murders, and became known as the nation’s answer to Hannibal Lecter – a sadistic, cannibalistic serial-killer paedophile. So strap in for shocking confessions, repressed memories, experimental psychotherapy, and a revelation that shook the Swedish justice system to its core… -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

    The Burari Deaths: Delhi's Ritual Mass-Hanging Mystery | #266

    The Burari Deaths – eleven members of the same family found dead in their Delhi home under deeply disturbing circumstances – still haunt the city today. In the early morning of 1 July 2018, Gurcharan Singh went to check on his neighbours in the Burari district of Delhi. When he got there, he found a scene of mass hanging so chilling that the whole city was thrown into a frenzy. Ten members of the Chundawat family were hanging from the ceiling. Another, the 80-year-old grandmother, was found strangled in the next room. And the police, the public, and the national media were stumped – it seemed too complex for suicide; too organised for murder. And then, they discovered a diary that changed everything… In the first case in five years of RedHanded to cause Suruthi to sleep with the lights on, we delve into the murky, ritualistic details of the Burari family deaths. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

    Larry Nassar: USA Gymnastics Abuse | #263

    In the gruelling world of elite gymnastics, Larry Nassar was seen by a lot of young athletes as a friendly face in tough times. But the USA Gymnastics National Medical Coordinator sexually abused hundreds of girls as young as ten, under the guise of treatments, for almost 30 years – often with their parents sitting just metres away. After multiple investigations, including by his first hunting ground, Michigan State University, he seemed untouchable. But thanks to brave survivor testimony – and the discovery of three external hard drives – the world saw him for what he really was: a calculated predator, with more victims than Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky and Harvey Weinstein combined. Hannah and Suruthi chart the biggest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

    West Memphis Three Part 2: Witchcraft, Satanism and False Confessions | #262

    In the second and final installment of our two-part episode, we enter the courtroom to hear some flimsy evidence, coerced confessions and absolutely bizarre testimony. Get ready for witchcraft, covens, and satanism that convicted three teenagers of triple child murder. Damien, Jessie, and Jason would spend the next 18 years in prison. And as the rusty cogs of the US justice system slowly turned, fear and bias led to one of America’s most infamous miscarriages of justice: a final bitter pill, forced upon the West Memphis 3. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

    West Memphis Three Part 1: Moral Panic, Murder and Injustice | #261

    The infamous case of three teenagers, who were wrongfully convicted of murdering three children in Arkansas during the height of the 1990s satanic panic, is part Stranger Things, part courtroom drama. When the bodies of three young boys were found, battered, sexually mutilated and hogtied with their own shoelaces in a local creek, the finger was pointed in the most 80s direction of all… Satan. Or more specifically, at three teenagers accused of being in a witches’ coven, and in league with the devil himself... -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram
