Full timeline and case breakdown: The murder of Deanna Cook
3d ago00:40:23Tap to summarizeSome 911 calls are disturbing.Some are heartbreaking.But very few capture the exact moment a murder is taking place.When Deanna Cook called emergency services in the early hours of August 17th 2012, she was terrified. In the background, dispatchers could hear chaos unfolding inside her home… confusion… panic… and then, something far more sinister.Deanna was begging for help, and a male voice in the background said "I'll kill you".But despite the call.Despite the audio.Despite the warning signs…Nobody came in time. And even more horrifying? After the line went dead, Deanna wouldn’t be found for nearly TWO DAYS.As friends and family desperately searched for answers, the truth inside that house remained hidden... while the person responsible walked free.In this episode of REDRUM, I dig into the chilling timeline of Deanna's final hours, the haunting 911 recording that left investigators stunned, and the devastating moment her loved ones made the discovery no family should ever have to make.What really happened inside Deanna’s home that night?Why did it take so long for anyone to realise she was dead?And could this murder have been prevented?Because when detectives finally pieced together the truth… they uncovered a case far darker than anyone first imagined.National Network to end Domestic Violence: https://nnedv.org/Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

True Crime: The Diana Lovejoy investigation
1w ago00:32:52Tap to summarizeThe true crime case behind one of the most viewed 6 seconds of court footage online.On an seemingly ordinary evening in Carlsbad, California, a father followed a set of instructions he believed would clear his name… but instead, he walked straight into an ambush.This is the chilling case of Diana Lovejoy and Greg Mulvihill.A bitter divorce that spiralled into allegations, paranoia, and a plot that was unbelievably calculated. As custody battles intensified and accusations of abuse surfaced, Greg found himself fighting not just for access to his young son, but for his reputation, his freedom… and ultimately, his life.Then came the message that changed everything: potentially, a chance to prove his innocence. But hidden in the darkness of a remote hiking trail, someone was waiting.What followed was a series of gunshots, a desperate fight to survive, and an investigation that would unravel a web of manipulation, deception, and a relationship far more dangerous than anyone realised.But the biggest question wasn’t just who pulled the trigger……it was who had been planning it all along.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

TRUE CRIME The unbelievable case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai
1w ago00:33:47Tap to summarizeIn January 2004, what should have been a routine child handover turned into a calculated, near-fatal act of violence that would shock the United States and expose the terrifying realities of domestic abuse...Teri Jendusa-Nicolai, a mother of 2 from Wisconsin, had already endured years of control and violence at the hands of her ex-husband, David Larsen. But nothing could have prepared her for what was waiting that day. As she stepped inside his home to collect their children, she was ambushed... beaten repeatedly with a baseball bat in a sustained, brutal attack that left her barely conscious.What followed was not just violence, but methodical cruelty.David bound Teri with duct tape, forced her into a plastic bin, packed it with snow, and sealed her inside. Then, as temperatures plummeted well below freezing, he loaded the container into his truck and began driving across state lines. Trapped in darkness, gravely injured, and slowly freezing, Teri somehow managed to access her phone and make a desperate 911 call... but when the 911 operator didn't take the call seriously, it was only a matter of time, before things got even worse.Are you suffering from a coercive, controlling or abusive relationship?

The tragic deaths of Kadie, River and Aadon Major
2w ago00:42:14Tap to summarizeIn January 2008, 26 year old Kadie Major and her 10 month old daughter, River Lynn, were found dead near train tracks off Oakley Road in Berkeley County, South Carolina. Authorities quickly ruled it a murder-suicide.Investigators claimed Kadie had been struggling with postpartum depression, that she had killed her daughter before stepping in front of a train, and within days, that explanation became official... before toxicology results were returned, before the autopsy report was finalised, and before key questions had been fully explored.But from the very beginning, Kadie’s family didn’t believe it. In the hours before she disappeared, Kadie had been making plans, sharing the news she was expecting a baby boy, and speaking with loved ones. That same night, her husband reported that she had run from the house in fear, convinced someone was coming to kill her... but discouraged the family from calling police.By the next morning, the search ended in tragedy.As the investigation unfolded, details began to surface that didn’t sit right. Her truck was found abandoned but completely undamaged, her wedding rings had been removed and placed in her pocket, there was a handwritten note filled with fragmented religious and apocalyptic phrases, and a timeline that raised more questions than answers.Years later, with a PI on the case and following national attention from CBS’s 48 Hours, the case was reopened.Investigators publicly stated they no longer believed Kadie’s death was a suicide... and named her husband as the sole suspect.So what really happened to Kadie Major and River that night? And how did a case closed in just days… unravel into something far more complicated?GOFUNDME for Kadie's family investigation: https://www.gofundme.com/f/1v5wj2876oIf you want to read more about the case, you can read blog posts and more on Vicky's website: https://kadieandherbabies.com/news/Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.

The tragic murders of Wendie Prescott and Christine Vu
2w ago00:34:14Tap to summarizeNo signs of forced entry. No clear suspect. No obvious motive. Just one terrifying question: how had someone gotten in... and out... without being seen? Then, just 3 months later, it happened again. Another young woman. Another apartment in the same complex. Another body left in a bathtub. As fear spread across Arlington, investigators realised they weren’t dealing with isolated incidents… but something far more dangerous.

3w ago00:33:24Tap to summarizeI’m taking a week off for holiday so wanted to share a Rewind & Repeat episode of one of the most shared episodes from the back catalogue. I’ll be back next week with 2 brand new episodes xAt 16 years old, Sasha decided she wanted to try and make a bit of extra money in her spare time. She thought she’d lucked out when she got a message on Facebook offering her a job working at a nearby hotel in Blackpool as a cleaner.Initially, Sasha’s mum and dad were a bit hesitant to let her go. She’d been through a pretty turbulent time through her teenage years but she was finally starting to settle down and started focusing on her future.And so, both her mum and dad said she could go- but on one condition; her dad would take her there and pick her up after her first shift to ensure she was safe.But it wasn’t that first shift they needed to be concerned about.It was the second shift, after they assumed Sasha would be safe, that she would suffer a brutal fate -and the perpetrator had practiced just 3 weeks before. So he knew exactly what he needed, to make sure Sasha would never escape.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redrumtruecrime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redrumtruecrime/Twitter: https://twitter.com/redrumtruecrimeIf you're able, please support me on Patreon/buymeacoffee/YouTube membership to continue bringing REDRUM content to YouTube.

The Murders of Heather Wilkinson, Don and Gail Patterson and the Attempted Murder of Ian Wilkinson: Erin Patterson (Part 2)
4w ago00:31:02Tap to summarizePart 2/2In July 2023, a quiet lunch in rural Leongatha would become the centre of one of the most shocking and disturbing criminal cases in recent Australian history, when 4 guests sat down at the home of Erin Patterson, unaware that the meal placed in front of them would soon leave 3 of them dead and another fighting for their life.What began as a supposed ordinary family gathering, quickly spiralled into a medical emergency that baffled doctors and horrified investigators. Symptoms consistent with deadly mushroom poisoning began to emerge, leading authorities to suspect the involvement of the highly toxic death cap mushroom... one of the most lethal fungi in the world, responsible for the majority of mushroom-related deaths globally.As the case unfolded, attention turned to Erin herself, the host of the lunch, whose relationship with the victims, including her former in-laws, added a deeply personal and complex layer to the investigation, raising unsettling questions about motive, intent, and what may have really happened inside that home on that winter afternoon.With conflicting accounts, alleged inconsistencies, and growing public fascination, the case has sparked intense debate across Australia and beyond, with many asking the same chilling question: was this a tragic accident… or something far more deliberate?Because behind the headlines, the courtroom arguments, and the forensic evidence, lies a story that is still unfolding... and one that may ultimately reveal that the truth of what happened that day is far darker than anyone first imagined.

Human Rabies Cases: How It Kills and Who Survived
Apr 900:33:04Tap to summarizeRabies is one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, with a fatality rate that is almost 100% once symptoms begin, a disease that can lie dormant for weeks or even months before suddenly, and violently, taking over the brain, leaving doctors with almost no way to stop what comes next.In this episode, we explore the real-life case of Yvonne Ford, a 59 year old grandmother from Barnsley, whose life changed after what seemed like nothing more than a minor scratch from a puppy while on holiday, an injury so small it didn’t even bleed. Months later she developed devastating neurological symptoms that would escalate rapidly, leading to her death in just a matter of days.But her story is only one side of rabies.Because in extremely rare cases, the outcome is different.We also examine the case of Jeanna Giese, a teenager from Wisconsin who became the first person ever known to survive rabies after symptoms had already begun, a case that challenged everything the medical world thought it knew about the virus, and led to the development of an experimental treatment known as the Milwaukee Protocol.Through these two cases, Grace breaks down how rabies is transmitted, why even the smallest scratch can be enough to infect, what really happens inside the body as the virus travels through the nervous system, and why symptoms like hydrophobia are among the most terrifying and unmistakable signs that the disease has reached its final stage.We also explore the rare and controversial cases of survival, including what doctors still don’t understand about why a handful of people live while almost everyone else doesn’t, and why, despite modern medicine, rabies remains one of the most unforgiving infections in the world.
