Redhanded

Modern medicine’s come a long way since the days of old where doctors would drill a hole in your head for a cold, prescribe you a tobacco-smoke enema, suggest you brush your teeth with urine, or give you heroin as cough medicine. But things really did get a whole hell of a lot worse before they got better…  Lobotomies were performed on tens of thousands of psychiatric patients, misbehaving children, “hysterical” women, JFK’s sister, and the former First Lady of Argentina – all just in the last 80 years.  Press play, it's a no brainer...

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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kidnapped, attacked and left disembowelled in the desert by two men who claimed to have been possessed by demons, Alison Botha suffered one of the most torturous ordeals we’ve ever covered.

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…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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...

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".See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the early 1990s, a patient at Säter mental institution 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. He became known as the nation’s answer to Hannibal Lecter – a sadistic, cannibalistic serial-killer paedophile.  So strap in for shocking confessions, experimental psychotherapy, and a revelation that shook the Swedish justice system to its core… 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com Sources: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4857574/ ‘The Strange Case of Thomas Quick: The Swedish Serial Killer and the Psychoanalyst Who Created Him’ by Dan Josefsson https://www.gq.com/story/thomas-quick-serial-killer-august-2013 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/20/thomas-quick-bergwall-sweden-murder https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/thomas-quick-ext

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 crime scene 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 deaths.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With a 28-year-old Mormon mum still missing – and her husband and father-in-law behaving increasingly erratically – police edged ever closer to finding their culprit.

What they didn’t know was that before it was all over, in a shocking final act, another four people would end up dead. In the conclusion of our two-part episode, we wrap up the chaotic case of Susan Cox Powell. 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: >>https://redhandedpodcast.com<< See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the 6th of December, 2009, when Susan Cox Powell disappeared while her husband Josh was away on a “spontaneous camping trip”, their community was sent reeling.  This Mormon family had long had its issues, but with the revelation of major debts, rampant psychological abuse, and an obsessive and disturbing father-in-law who filmed Susan’s every move, everyone suspected the worst.
