| 6/24/26 | ![]() Breck's Last Game: The Murder of Breck Bednar | On the 17th of February 2014, a 14 year old British boy named Breck Bednar took a pre-paid taxi from his mother's home in Surrey and travelled 30 miles to a flat in Grays, Essex. He believed he was going to meet a friend from his online gaming group. A friend who was going to give him a tour of his computer business. A friend who had spent months earning his trust. By the next morning, Breck was dead. Stabbed through the neck by an 18 year old computer engineer named Lewis Daynes, who calmly phoned 999 to report what he had done. This is the story of one of the most disturbing online grooming cases in British criminal history. A loving mother who saw the warning signs. A police force that failed to act. And the chilling true crime case that prompted educational reforms and a foundation that continues to protect children today.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 6/23/26 | ![]() The Ghosts of Muncaster Castle | High on a hillside above the River Esk in Cumbria stands one of the oldest occupied houses in England. Muncaster Castle has been home to the Pennington family for over 800 years. A king once sheltered here after losing his throne. A cruel jester named Tom Fool once stalked its grounds. A young carpenter was beheaded in its stables. A housemaid was murdered on the road outside its main gate. And in a quiet room at the end of a first floor corridor, where dark tapestries hang from the walls and iron fire dogs shaped like devils' heads guard the fireplace, an academic named James Cartland heard something in 1988 that he would never be able to explain. The sound of a child crying. The soft voice of a woman singing. And the slow realisation that the room he was sleeping in had once been a nursery, where a little girl had died over a century before.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 6/21/26 | ![]() The Track Meet: Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf | On the morning of 2 April 2025, a rainy day in Frisco, Texas, a routine high school track meet ended with a 17 year old boy bleeding out in his identical twin brother's arms. Austin Metcalf, an honour student and football star, had been stabbed once through the heart with a pocket knife. The young man who killed him, 17 year old Karmelo Anthony, ran across the bleachers and was arrested moments later. His first words to police were, "He put his hands on me. I told him not to." What followed was one of the most controversial criminal trials in recent American history. A bond reduction that sparked national protests. A crowdfunding campaign that raised over 633,000 dollars. Doxxing, swatting, and death threats aimed at both families. And ultimately, in June 2026, a verdict that gave Austin's grieving family the answer they had waited 14 months to hear.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() From the Vault - The Lufthansa Heist | Hello legends, Jack here, host of Crime at Bedtime. I'm currently travelling to the US because my other show, One Minute Remaining, was lucky enough to be nominated for an award. I’ll be back very soon, but while I’m away, I’m diving into the vault to bring you some of my favourite and most terrifying Crime at Bedtime stories from the past three years.Today is the final episode in our Episodes from the Vault series! I’ll be back next week with a brand-new story for you, but for this last vault episode, I had to go with a Mafia story.For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with the Mafia. I’ve read many of the books, watched the movies and documentaries, and this story is just wild. It’s the story of the Lufthansa Heist and perfectly demonstrates why being in the Mafia can be a deadly occupation...In December 1978, a crew of mobsters slipped into JFK Airport and pulled off the largest cash robbery in American history.They stole nearly $6 million in unmarked bills and jewels from a Lufthansa vault — and vanished before sunrise.Behind the job was Jimmy Burke, the real-life inspiration for Goodfellas’ Jimmy Conway.But what should have been the perfect score quickly turned into a bloodbath as Burke began eliminating anyone who might talk.This episode takes you inside the heist that shook New York — from the planning inside Robert’s Lounge to the FBI investigation and the chain of murders that followed.A story of greed, loyalty, and how one night at the airport rewrote organised-crime history.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 6/14/26 | ![]() From the Vault - No one admits to a crime they didn't do | In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was brutally murdered in her Idaho Falls apartment. Police were desperate for answers — and soon turned their attention to a young man named Christopher Tapp.What followed would become one of America’s most controversial wrongful conviction cases.Despite no physical evidence linking him to the crime, Christopher Tapp was convicted after hours of intense police interrogation and a confession many believe was coerced. For more than two decades, Tapp maintained his innocence while serving time for a murder he said he did not commit.But the story didn’t end there.As DNA technology advanced and fresh eyes revisited the case, disturbing questions began to emerge about the investigation, the interrogation tactics used, and whether police had convicted the wrong man while Angie Dodge’s real killer remained free.In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we examine the tragic murder of Angie Dodge, the interrogation that changed Christopher Tapp’s life forever, and the long fight that would ultimately unravel one of Idaho’s most debated wrongful conviction cases.This is the story of Christopher Tapp.Get early and ad free access to Crime at Bedtime and One Minute Remaining for as little as $1.61 a week!

| 5/23/26 | ![]() The Enfield Poltergeist | A council house in North London. A single mother. Two frightened children. And a haunting that exploded into one of the most documented paranormal cases in modern history.In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we revisit the Enfield Poltergeist with a calm, immersive retelling of the key events: the knocks and violent disturbances, the chilling “Bill” voice, the alleged levitations, and the investigators who believed they were witnessing something extraordinary.But Enfield is also a case defined by contradiction. Eyewitness accounts, recordings, and media frenzy collided with claims of exaggeration and trickery. The result is a story that still divides believers and sceptics almost fifty years later.Whether you think it was genuine, misunderstood, or something in between, Enfield remains a rare case where the mystery is the legacy.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/23/26 | ![]() The Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblin Siege | In August 1955, a terrified Kentucky family burst into a small-town police station claiming they’d spent the night under attack from “little men” that bullets couldn’t hurt. What officers found at the Sutton farmhouse would become one of the strangest and most controversial cases in UFO history. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we head to rural Kelly–Hopkinsville to walk hour by hour through the so-called “Goblin Siege”: the glowing craft in the sky, the strange metallic creatures at the windows, the 20–plus officers who swore the family were genuinely afraid, and the investigations that followed. Were they besieged by aliens, fooled by owls, or swept up in a perfect storm of fear, folklore and bad timing? Settle in as we unpack one of the classic foundations of the “little green men” legend.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/23/26 | ![]() Ape Canyon | In 1924, deep in the wilderness near Mount St. Helens, a group of gold prospectors claimed they were attacked by giant ape-like creatures. The incident became known as the Ape Canyon Attack, one of the earliest and most chilling reports linked to Bigfoot. In this episode, we revisit the miners’ terrifying night inside their remote cabin, the footprints they found, the gunfire, and the mysterious evidence left behind.

Some claim they saw a figure ten feet tall moving through the mist. Others fled down the mountain convinced something was pacing them on the plateau. Known in Gaelic as Am Fear Liath Mòr — the Big Grey Man — this phenomenon has baffled experts and terrified hikers for more than a hundred years. In this atmospheric deep dive, we explore the folklore, the eyewitness accounts, and the science behind one of Britain’s most haunting mysteries.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Drew Peterson told police she had left him for another man. Nobody who knew Stacy believed him.As investigators began looking more closely at Stacy's disappearance, they started looking more closely at something else. The 2004 death of Kathleen Savio — Drew Peterson's third wife — who had been found dead in a dry bathtub and ruled an accidental drowning. With Stacy now missing, that ruling began to look very different.Kathleen's body was exhumed. The cause of death was reclassified as homicide. And the former police officer who had walked the corridors of power in his own department found himself on the other side of the law.In 2012 Drew Peterson was convicted of Kathleen Savio's murder and sentenced to thirty eight years in prison. Stacy Peterson has never been found.This is the story of a man who thought he knew exactly how to get away with it.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/19/26 | ![]() The Vanishing at Lake Oconee: The Dermond Murders | On the afternoon of Saturday 3 May 2014, neighbours in the exclusive gated community of Reynolds Great Waters at Lake Oconee, Georgia, gathered for a Kentucky Derby watch party. Two of the invited guests never arrived. Three days later, a neighbour found 88 year old Russell Dermond's decapitated body in the garage of his million dollar lakefront home. His head was missing. His 87 year old wife Shirley was nowhere to be found. Ten days later, fishermen discovered Shirley's body floating in Lake Oconee, weighed down with cinder blocks. There were no signs of forced entry. Nothing was stolen. The community's security cameras were not recording. Twelve years on, Russell's head has never been found, no arrests have ever been made, and the FBI calls it one of the strangest cases they have ever investigated. Someone walked into that house. Someone knows what happened.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/17/26 | ![]() The Ricin Letters: Shannon Richardson | In 2013, three threatening letters laced with the deadly poison ricin were mailed to President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a gun control advocate. The FBI raced to identify the sender as panic spread across the country. But when Texas mother and bit-part actress Shannon Richardson contacted the FBI to point the finger at her husband Nathaniel, investigators quickly realised her story did not add up. What unfolded was a bizarre plot involving a B-grade film career, a crumbling marriage, and one of the most calculated framing attempts in modern American crime. This is the chilling story of a woman who tried to poison her way out of her own life and frame the man she vowed to love forever.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/13/26 | ![]() The Shawshank of Dannemora: The Great Prison Escape | On June 6, 2015, two convicted murderers escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York—a maximum-security prison that hadn't seen a successful escape in over 150 years. Richard Matt and David Sweat spent months meticulously cutting through steel walls, crawling through tunnels, and navigating the bowels of the prison before emerging through a manhole cover on a street outside the walls. Their escape was aided by prison employee Joyce Mitchell, who had become romantically involved with both inmates and smuggled them power tools hidden inside frozen meat. The three-week manhunt that followed involved over 1,000 law enforcement officers searching the dense forests of upstate New York. This is the story of the Dannemora prison break—an audacious escape that captivated the nation and exposed catastrophic security failures at one of America's most notorious prisons.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

| 5/12/26 | ![]() Where is Shelly? | Michele Diane "Shelly" Miscavige was once one of the most powerful women in the Church of Scientology—the wife of its leader, David Miscavige, and a commanding figure within the organisation's elite Sea Org division. But in August 2005, Shelly vanished from public view following a reported confrontation with her husband. For years, no one outside Scientology's inner circle saw or heard from her. Her disappearance sparked intense speculation, celebrity involvement, and even a missing person's report filed by actress Leah Remini in 2013. The Church insists Shelly is alive, well, and working at a secret Scientology compound in California—but she hasn't been seen in public for nearly two decades. This is the story of Shelly Miscavige—a woman who rose to the heights of power within one of the world's most secretive organisations, only to disappear without a trace.Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
