Seeing Red A True Crime Podcast

We’re taking a short end-of-season break (apologies for not giving you a heads-up last week!), so this week we’re revisiting one of the most striking episodes from the Seeing Red archives. This one explores two harrowing cases rooted in the dangerous world of chemsex. They’re dark, disturbing, and every bit as relevant now as when we first covered them. Even if you’ve listened before, it’s the kind of episode that stays with you — and worth hearing again. And here’s the news you’ve been waiting for: Bethan is BACK! Season 14 launch...

I think this is one of the saddest and cruellest episodes we have ever done... In 1939, 23-year-old Joe Arridy was executed in Colorado for a crime many believe he didn’t commit. With the mental capacity of a child, Joe was an easy target for investigators eager to close a brutal case. But how much of his so-called confession was his own—and how much was fed to him? In this episode, we explore Joe’s short life, the controversial trial that sealed his fate, and the lingering questions that still cast a shadow over his execution. ...

In November 1996, a routine Ethiopian Airlines flight left Addis Ababa… but it would never reach its intended destination. What began as an ordinary journey quickly spiralled into chaos at 30,000 feet, leaving passengers and crew facing unthinkable terror in the skies.

They had everything — wealth, privilege, a Beverly Hills mansion — but behind closed doors, the Menendez family was rotting from the inside out. In 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez turned their parents’ living room into a crime scene that shocked America. Was it cold-blooded greed? A desperate act of survival? Or something far darker than anyone imagined? In this episode of Seeing Red, we unravel the twisted path from country-club perfection to shotgun blasts in the night — peeling back the lies, the lavish lifestyles, and the secrets that tore one of California’s richest families apart.

This week, we’re heading back to 1974 to explore a chilling case out of Fort Worth, Texas. What starts off like a scene straight from an all-American teen rom-com—a Valentine’s Day dance, young love between a high school cheerleader and a football player—soon takes a dark and terrifying turn.

In 1971, devout churchgoer, doting father, and seemingly mild-mannered accountant John List calmly murdered his entire family - his wife, his mother, and his three children - in their New Jersey mansion. He then vanished without a trace, leaving behind a chilling confession letter and a perfectly staged crime scene where the bodies lay undiscovered for nearly a month. What drove this "respectable" man to such horror? And how did he manage to disappear for 18 years, starting a brand-new life while his crimes faded into cold case infamy? This episode...

In the quiet coastal town of Sligo, Ireland, a chilling darkness unfolded over just 48 hours in April 2022. Two kind, well-liked men — Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee — were brutally murdered in their own homes. What connected them? They were both openly gay, both targeted through dating apps, and both victims of a twisted and calculated predator. In this episode of Seeing Red, we explore the horrifying details of these hate-fuelled killings, the community left shattered in their wake, and the manhunt that revealed a disturbing pattern of violence and deception. This case sparked outrage across Irel...

It was an ordinary school day—until it wasn’t. Twelve-year-old Nikki Conroy should have been safe within the walls of her classroom. Instead, a stranger walked in, armed with a knife and intent on violence. What followed was a terrifying attack that left one child dead, several others traumatised, and an entire nation asking: how could this happen in a school? In this episode, we unravel the chilling events of that March afternoon in 1994 at Hall Garth School in Middlesbrough. We look at the man who brought horror into a place of lear...

In this harrowing episode we uncover the deeply disturbing case of William and Zachary Zulock — a seemingly picture-perfect couple from Georgia who adopted two young boys, only to exploit and abuse them in the most vile ways imaginable. Behind their carefully curated social media presence was a world of unthinkable depravity. The Zulocks weren’t just unfit parents — they were predators, using their position of trust and protection to commit unspeakable crimes. As the investigation unfolded, what authorities discovered would horrify even the most seasoned detectives and leave a community in shock. </p...

We have an announcement at the beginning of this week's episode for anyone who missed it on our socials... Folie à deux, or “madness of two", is a rare psychological phenomenon where delusion is shared between two closely connected people. Think siblings. Think twins. This week, we reopen one of the most bizarre and unsettling cases we’ve ever covered: the story of Sabina and Ursula Eriksson. Twin sisters whose shared descent into chaos left witnesses stunned, authorities baffled, and one man dead. If you would like to support us on Patreon and gain acces...

50-year-old Simon Vickers was the very definition of a devoted father. He lived in a modest suburban semi just outside of Darlington in County Durham with his long-time partner, Sarah Hall, and their 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. Friends described him as hands-on, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his only child. So why then, on the evening of July 5th, while Sarah stood at the stove cooking spaghetti Bolognese for her family, did Simon drive a kitchen knife eleven centimetres into Scarlett’s chest? Why would a loving father turn into a killer in the blink of an...

We originally covered this case way back in 2022 when Bethan went solo while Mark was on holiday. Fast forward three years, and there is so much more that has come out since. This week we both dive into the the case of the Long Island serial killer. When the remains of ten bodies were found in late 2010 and early 2011, detectives were faced with the haunting prospect that they were hunting a serial killer. Years of frustration followed as the investigation moved at a sluggish pace but then in 2023, a year after Bethan recorded her episode...

This week, in a special listener-written episode, we head back to the late 1990's, and to the medieval city of Chester, as we recount the final hours of father of two Alan Morris. On 30 December 1998, Alan had been out with his partner, Jane Rowe, and their friend, Nigel Jones, enjoying a few drinks at a local pub. During an altercation at a Chinese restaurant at approximately 11:30pm, Alan and Jayne argued briefly. That argument continued when they got home. As Jayne went upstairs for 30 seconds in the early hours of 31 December, Alan was brutally stabbed...

In this episode, we dive into the harrowing true story behind author Alice Sebold’s 1981 rape and the decades-later revelation of a devastating miscarriage of justice. Sebold, best known for her memoir Lucky and the novel The Lovely Bones, identified Anthony Broadwater as her attacker, leading to his conviction in 1982. However, Broadwater always maintained his innocence. This episode examines the long-term impact on both Sebold and Broadwater, raising critical questions about memory, systemic racism, and the justice system’s failures — and what it means to confront truth years after a crime. ...
