Episode Fifty Nine, Quyen Nguyen

After a few moments of waiting outside, texting him that she’d arrived, Quyen was then greeted by Stephen at the back gate, and she made her way inside.

 

Just before letting Quyen inside the gate, Stephen had gestured to his friend William McFall to stay out of sight. It’s clear even by this point, that Quyen had no idea there would be another person inside the house she was about to enter.

 

The next four hours saw Quyen subjected to the most horrific attack.

He also tweeted his plans to shoot a slasher movie called 'The Harvest' - with the tagline "This Halloween everyone dies”.

The detective described the place they went to

"It was a very thickly- wooded, dense area. Spiderwebs, 2:00 a.m., very dark. I had two of my investigators with me. We searched so long that our flashlight battery started wearing out. And we came across her pretty deep into the woods."

The pizza-hut delivery driver made his way down the quiet, abandoned road- he quickly realised he’d gone the wrong way, so swung into a grassy area to turn the car around. As he did so, he noticed an object outside of the car. He stopped and got out… as he made his way towards the object laying in the overgrown grassy area. He stared in horror as he realised he was looking at the burnt, ashy body of a human being. He got straight back into his car to call 911 and waited for the authorities to arrive. Detectives found a rolled up carpet next to the body and a used coffee creamer container. More rubbish nearby but the container stood out because it looked pretty new, so it took their attention. Tyre tracks nearby, well preserved because of the nature of the dirt.

Episode Fifty Three, Amy Anderson

On Thursday the 9th of May, Dumfries police recieved a report from someone walking their dog along the bank of the River Leven. They had thought they'd seen something in the water, and as they made their way closer towards the item, they realised it was a torso.

 

This episode originally aired in April 2021 as a Patreon episode.

Episode Fifty Two, Helen Smith and Johannes Otten

As he approached the flats he saw blood on the ground and looked up to the railings on the wall that enclosed the courtyard at the bottom of the block. The near-naked body of a man was impaled on the railings. His head was facing towards the building and his legs were hanging down towards the street.
