The victims were three drug dealers - Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate, and Craig Rolfe - who were all associated with the criminal underworld in Essex.The murders were carried out in a remote farmyard road in Rettendon, Essex, where the victims were lured under the pretence of a drug deal. They were shot dead in a Range Rover parked in the lane, in what was later revealed to be a brutal execution-style killing.The Essex Boys murders sent shockwaves through the criminal underworld and the wider community in Essex. The killings were believed to be linked to a turf war between rival drug gangs vying for control of the lucrative drug trade in the region.

Mary Bell is a British woman who gained notoriety for committing murders as a child in the 1960s. Born in 1957, Mary Bell was convicted of killing two young boys in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, when she was just 11 years old. The first victim, Martin Brown, was four years old and was found strangled in an abandoned house in May 1968. The second victim, Brian Howe, was three years old and was found strangled and mutilated in a wasteland in July 1968.Mary Bell was found guilty of manslaughter due to diminished responsibility, as it was determined that she had exhibited signs of psychopathy and had a troubled upbringing. She was sentenced to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, which is the juvenile equivalent of a life sentence. Bell was eventually released from prison in 1980 at the age of 23, and she has since lived under a series of pseudonyms to protect her identity.Support the Show.Thank you for listening.

The Somerton Man, also known as the Tamam Shud case, is one of Australia's most enduring mysteries. In 1948, the body of an unidentified man was discovered on Somerton Beach in Adelaide, South Australia. The man was found lying on his back, with his head resting against the seawall, and his arms outstretched. Despite an extensive investigation, the man's identity and cause of death remain unknown to this day.The mystery deepened when a small piece of paper with the words "Tamam Shud" (meaning "ended" or "finished" in Persian) was found in a hidden pocket in the man's trousers. The paper was torn from a rare edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a book of Persian poetry. The book itself was later found in a nearby car, with a mysterious code written inside the back cover.Numerous theories have been put forward to explain the identity and circumstances surrounding the Somerton Man's death, but none have been proven. Some believe he was a spy, as the code found in the book has been suggested to be a code used by spies. Others believe he was involved in a love affair gone wrong, as a woman's phone number was found in the book as well. However, no one has been able to identify the woman or the man.In recent years, advancements in DNA technology have led to renewed efforts to solve the case. In 2019, the Somerton Man's body was exhumed in the hopes of extracting DNA samples that could be used to identify him. However, the results were inconclusive, and the mystery remains unsolved.Support the Show.Thank you for listening.

In February 1977, Chicago police were left baffled by the brutal murder of a middle-aged healthcare worker. Teresita Basa, a respiratory therapist at Edgewater Hospital, had been found naked, stabbed in the chest with a butcher's knife, set alight and left under a burning mattress in her 15th floor apartment.Police interviewed family and friends, but came up with no leads as to who might have wanted to kill Basa, a quiet, well-educated, music-loving woman who'd moved to the US from the Philippines more than a decade earlier. One of the few clues was a note in her diary reading, "Get tickets for A.S."Six months into the police investigation, it looked like the case might never be solved. And then came a tip – but it was a strange one.The Story ChaserThis is a journey along the way of writing my first book.
