This is our live episode recorded at Cumbernauld Library as a part of their Killers & Coffee sessions with Dawn from Scottish Murders

And we are covering the tragic case of the murder of Barry Oldham & Barry Wallace in December of 1999.

Trigger warning for this episode: we do touch on decapitation, and if you're Scottish, you might not want to hear me pronounce so many Scottish names wrong!

Sources for this ep are:
Sources - limbs in the loch - catching a killer - can be found on BBC I player
Its one of the best true crime documentaries ive ever seen - it really focuses on the victims and the police team interviewed are so genuine and you can really feel how much this case meant to them and the whole community, they were really invested in finding justice

We also talk about Christmas party fun that goes wrong, Christmas decorations from the 80s, the Millennium bug, Newcastle in the 80s and Greggs!

There is also an amazing revelation at the end that we did NOT see coming.

Huge thanks to Erin for editing this live episode.

We know so many of you have been intrigued by the Erin Patterson case in Australia and have been chatting with us about your thoughts, so when we approached Tam from True Crime Bookcase who attended the trial in Australia recently and is an Erin Patterson guru we were delighted she was up for chatting with us on the podcast.

Tam runs the Instagram account True Crime Bookcase - If you love reading about True Crime, you need to start following her - we've gotten so many brilliant recommendations from her, and she will give you the honest truth - especially when it comes to Erin. Go follow Tam at

https://www.instagram.com/truecrimebookcase/

This is a fascinating episode that gives real and genuine insight into what it's like to sit inside a highly publicised trial and get the real story from someone who was there, and is happy to answer all of our questions..

We also talk about the true crime genre and how it's changed over the last ten years, ethics and Tik Tok, Australian cases Tam is obsessed with, true crime books that are totally overrated, and the plethora of Ted Bundy books out now.

If you want to check out the podcast, Trace, as mentioned by Tam. https://open.spotify.com/show/1ivHfQf6P5MkkYibN6QVWA?si=1866fff46fe94187

We can't wait to hear what you think about this episode, and a huge thank you to Tam for chatting with us.

This was a special live recording at Airdrie Library for their Killers & Coffee series back in July with Dawn from Scottish Murders.

Trigger warning: We do discuss suicide in this episode.

In this episode, Dawn tells the heartbreaking story of the murder of Aileen Printie in Edinburgh back in 1981.

Aileen was found murdered in her bedroom, discovered by her Mum and sister in August of 1981 in the Longstone area of Edinburgh. She was only 31 years old.

We also talk about the 80's, sunbeds and what to do when you're bored working in a call centre!

Trigger warning: In this episode, we talk a lot about suicide. Please skip this episode if you're not in the right place to listen. Discussions of homophobia in Australia in the 80s is also heavily featured, so please take note.

We are covering the murder of Scott Johnston - Born in California on the 27th of November 1961 - he had such a promising future ahead of him, until he moved to Australia in the 80s.

We also talk about what we're watching to lighten the mood,

Australia in the 80s and how it wasn't all just awful fashion and big hair and Kris Jenners new "look" Some might say we talk about that for way too long!

The fantastic Rusell T Davies show we mention is called - Its A Sin

Sources for this episode -

Never Let Him Go Documentary on Disney + if you're in the UK - highly recommended, its much more in depth if you'd like to learn more about Scott's life.
