True Crime

Published on 17 Nov 2017. Helen Duncan was a famous medium who travelled around Britain in the 1940s performing séances. She claimed to speak to the dead, and even produce physical manifestations of their spirits. But when she seemed to know wartime secrets about the whereabouts of military ships, she caught the attention of MI5. And in 1944, a few months before D-day, she was convicted under a 200-year-old "Witchcraft Act".     Criminal is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.   If you haven't already, please review us on iTunes!

Published on 23 Jul 2018. Westley Allan Dodd was one of the most evil men to walk this earth. He preyed on the young, the trusting, and the vulnerable. His sexual fantasies started at a young age and it is thought that he had as many as 50 victims. Then, he graduated to murder. After he was caught, Dodd asked for the death penalty, telling anyone that would listen that he would do anything he could to escape so he could murder again. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of this vile monster. Dodd was arrested and let go with a slap on the wrist so many times that you have to question how the system let this happen. By his own admission, he would have never stopped on his own.

Published on 05 Aug 2018. We all love to talk about all of the things we’re going to do to better ourselves… all of the changes we want to make. Maybe we’d like to focus more on our families, start a business, or go back to school. Whatever the case, these aspirations often remain nothing more than that… aspirations. We put them on hold for so long that we forgot about them.   This is the story of 26-year-old Laura Ackerson, a young woman who was taking those steps.  She was determined to build a brighter future for herself and for her children.  But just as it was starting to take shape, that future was cut short.
