We head to the UK county of Derbyshire, and back to the early 1960's, for our tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast. It's a tale that surely should be more familiar than it is, and spans a number of years, even jumps to a different country - and all begins with a crashed "Bubble" car......

A reach into the show's Patreon back catalogue comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast - a tale that takes us back the mid 1970's, for a tragic, horrific yet unfamiliar case that's a real prime example of when pressure, when it keeps building and building, sometimes leads people to snap - sometimes resulting in the most extreme, horrific circumstances you can imagine.

The culmination of the Thriller arc of this series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here in this final episode, where we see just what David Mulcahy's conviction meant for so many - the victims, as well as the side of law and order. We catch up with developments over the twenty plus years since the conviction, and i give my own thoughts and feedback concerning the entire arc. The multi part episodes are dedicated to the women who were blighted by the pair, and the three who lost their

In the penultimate episode of this series' Thriller arc, we now have David John Mulcahy stood in the dock, accused of countless horrendous crimes. The evidence against him was strong - yet nothing stronger than the words of his former best friend, John Francis Duffy, who stood just feet away from him - but this time, in the witness box, giving evidence. This then, is Taller and Shorter - but would testimony be enough? And was their unspeakable bond now really broken? How was such a bond - strong

When we left the Thriller arc last time, in their hunt for the multiple rapists and suspected single triple killer, police had just utilised the services of Professor David Canter, who helped Operation Trinity with the then groundbreaking investigative tool of the psychological profile. Sure enough, it was near enough right on the money, and when applied to the suspect pool, made one name jump right out at police: John Francis Duffy. It led to charges being brought for multiple rapes - and the

Continuing this series Thriller arc, the two individuals we have met so far throughout the tale had soon gravitated from the appalling catalogue of sexual assaults they had carried out in the North London area over a period of three years. At the very end of 1985, they had crossed the thin line from rapist to killer with the appalling murder of a 19 year old secretary named Alison Day. And almost five months later, they struck again, this time managing to add a new predatory dimension to their

In the opening episode of this series Thriller arc, we were introduced to two individuals who from the middle of 1982 onwards, carried out an appalling catalogue of sexual assaults in the North London area. The attacks gained in proficiency and frequency, then at least one of the men branched out and began attacking women alone - as well as in tandem with his partner. And finally, for whatever reason, sexual assault just wasn't enough - a step further was wanted, or needed. So with just two days of

Family is supposed to mean everything to a person, it's what we are raised in and grow with, it's what we go on to have ourselves, what we nurture, and what we are supposed to love and protect with our all.
