FROM THE VAULT - The Murder of Rachel Nickell #285

Netflix's new drama 'The Witness' and documentary 'The Murder of Rachel Nickell' have brought Rachel Nickell's case back into public attention. For the true story behind the murder that rocked the UK, we've resurfaced our episode from February 2023. -- Rachel Nickell’s brutalised body was found on Wimbledon Common with her two-year-old son Alex wiping her bloodied face and begging her to 'wake up'. The nature of the broad daylight attack and the horrific injuries put enormous pressure on the Met to get the case solved and fast. However, none of that justifies the shoddy police work, cut corners, and tunnel vision that allowed serial rapist Robert Napper to go unchecked for years. -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

ShortHand: The Secrets of Göbekli Tepe

The 1994 excavation of curious buried ruins in southeastern Turkey might have chucked a big rock through the window of archaeological history – shattering everything we thought we knew about our ancient ancestors. With its intricate carvings, and towering megaliths built long before the wheel or even written language, Göbekli Tepe could rewrite the story of civilisation. But who built it? And why? Join us on a journey into the distant past as we attempt to find out. -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

David “D4vd” Burke - Part Two: The Arrest & Trial | #453

Two chainsaws and a paddling pool; a very public relationship; along with a litany of texts and Discord messages, all pointing to one thing: David “D4vd” Burke killed Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In the eyes of the public, it was that simple. And yet, it took prosecutors seven months to arrest and charge Burke with Celeste Hernandez’s death, even after her body was found decomposing in his car.

ShortHand: The Death of Marilyn Monroe

Naked, clutching the telephone receiver, and with a stomach full of prescription meds, Marilyn Monroe was pronounced dead at 4:25am on the 5th of August 1962.  Today, a century after her birth, the iconic “blonde bombshell” is still one of the most famous people who has ever lived. She epitomised Hollywood: the fame, the fortune, and the chaos. Rumours placed her in bed with two Kennedys – and under surveillance from the FBI and CIA. Marilyn Monroe was the tainted American Dream. Could someone so special really have died from something as simple as an overdose? -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

ShortHand: The Ku Klux Klan

The KKK are the OG far-right trolls: one of the most evil groups in US history, and the best-known purveyors of white racism in the United States.  They have been responsible for countless deaths and acts of discrimination – but where did it all begin? And what do wizards and dragons have to do with it? This is the ShortHand.  -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]
