Episode 208 The Kesa Family Murders

On a single night in 1990, three innocent people lost their lives to a crime spree by a 19-year-old soldier.

This is a rewind episode - designed to bring new attention to the back catalogue of the podcast. But it's also something else. The audio you'll be hearing is actually a chapter of my audiobook for my book, Bare Bones. I included Meadowbrook Doe's case in that book and thought I'd share that chapter here to help bring some new ears to the case. If you'd like to listen to the whole audiobook you can purchase it on any audiobook platform including at any of the following links: Audible: https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Bones-Cases-Crime-Africa/dp/B0GFB187YL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3B98LQUOAUXCU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.loOTtBIVZgpLGkYVLz2oGQ.om3t0wgPWjRq-dPYXX44zM6RRD0oyZOi0X7AITvyyX0&dib_tag=se&keywords=bare-bones-cold-cases-from-true-crime-south-africa+by+Nicole+Engelbrecht&qid=1768190789&s=audible&sr=1-1 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/audiobook/bare-bones-24?sId=c159a2ce-1398-4618-8cab-e1e0eb57b69c&ssId=vTZKEx-JKmbnaetb-XB4g&cPos=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lbceaLDNSgNLLnO3Icfo8 Apple: https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/bare-bones-cold-cases-from-true-crime-south-africa/id1857379297?uo=4 - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayBru https://paybru.co.za/communities/true-crime-south-africa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide Buy Bare Bones Audiobook on Audible · Buy Bare Bones Audiobook on Kobo · Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn

When Franz Richter bought a piece of land just outside Muldersdrift in the 70s he envisioned creating a bubble of African paradise where guests could watch zebras graze while they ate their breakfast and his family could thrive and one day raise their own families there. And for decades that is what Heia Safari Lodge was until one day in November 2007 when three gunshots changed everything. - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayBru https://paybru.co.za/communities/true-crime-south-africa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide - The disclaimer voiceover was done by Karabo Peter at the VOW 88.1 studios Instagram · Pinterest · Facebook · YouTube · Twitter · LinkedIn
