On today’s first episode looking at the lives of Fred and Rose West, we learn of their upbringing and any mitigating factors which may lend a clue to at least part of their twisted psyche.

Welcome back, to The Deadly Countdown.

This week, we take a look at arguably the most intriguing cold-case from the UK, that of the much loved Jill Dando. Theories abound as to who was responsible for her assassination on her own doorstep, but as we soon learn, especially in a murder investigation, placing all your eggs in one basket can prove both costly, and deeply embarrassing for law enforcement.

Welcome, to The Deadly Countdown.

On today’s debut episode, we take a dive in to the killings that spawned millions of dollars worth of films and books, and put the murder location in the forefront of everyone’s mind when discussions on ghosts are made. Simply saying the word “Amityville” conjures images of the infamous house, with its windows appearing like eyes.

But, although the alleged paranormal happenings are very much down to your beliefs, what is not, and shockingly often skipped within the Amityville narrative, are the killings of 6 members of the DeFeo family. Today we walk through the timeline of events, and note some lesser discussed theories around the case.

Stay safe out there,

Kevin.

Welcome, to The Deadly Countdown.

The third episode for launch day takes both back in time, and puts us in the presence of arguably one of if not the most deranged people we will discuss this series. Fritz Haarmann, “The Vampire of Hanover” is the first serial killer we will take a deep look in to, and be warned, this is not for the faint of heart.

Stay safe out there,

Kevin.

Welcome, to The Deadly Countdown.

Our second episode takes us to the sleepy town of Ossett, West Yorkshire. It’s here, amidst a run of poor fortune, that the Taylors, Michael & Christine, would find solace in a charismatic Christian movement. But what appeared at first to be just what the doctor ordered for the couple, resulted in one of the strangest and most barbaric cases the UK has ever seen.

Stay safe out there,

Kevin.
