Redhanded

In the gruelling world of elite gymnastics, Larry Nassar was seen by a lot of young athletes as a friendly face in tough times. As the USA Gymnastics National Medical Coordinator, he performed treatments on children as young as ten, for almost 30 years.  And under cover of those treatments, he was routinely molesting hundreds of young girls for decades – sometimes multiple times a day, often with their parents sitting just metres away. After multiple investigations, he seemed untouchable. But thanks to the bravery of his survivors – and the discovery of three external hard drives – the world saw him for what he really was: a calculated predator, with more victims than Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky and Harvey Weinstein combined. Hannah and Suruthi chart the biggest sexual abuse scandal in sports history. 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com Sources: https://www.vox.com/identities/2018/1/19/16897722/sexual-abuse-usa-gymnastics-larry-nassar-explained The Girls, Abigail Pesta https://w

In the second and final installment of our two-part episode, we enter the courtroom to hear some flimsy evidence and absolutely bizarre testimony. Get ready for witchcraft, covens, and satanism that convicted three teenagers of triple child murder. Damien, Jessie, and Jason would spend the next 18 years in prison. And as the rusty cogs of the US justice system slowly turned, a final bitter pill of injustice was forced upon the West Memphis 3. 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com Sources: The Devil’s Knot by Mara Leveritt Docs: Paradise Lost and West of Memphis https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2287-home https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2236-chronology https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2022-06-23/judge-rejects-new-evidence-testing-in-west-memphis-3-case https://www.jivepuppi.com/dale_griffis.html https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/10/13/Juror-misconduct-alleged-in-murder-verdict/28341287001195/ https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2018/hidden-dama

This infamous case is part Stranger Things, part courtroom drama. When the bodies of 3 young boys were found, battered, sexually mutilated and hogtied with their own shoelaces in a local creek, the finger was pointed in the most 80s direction of all… Satan. Or more specifically, at three teenagers accused of being in a witches’ coven, and in league with the devil himself... 2022 LIVE SHOW TICKET LINKS: https://redhandedpodcast.com   Sources: The Devil’s Knot by Mara Leveritt Docs: Paradise Lost and West of Memphis https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2287-home https://famous-trials.com/westmemphis/2236-chronology https://www.ualrpublicradio.org/local-regional-news/2022-06-23/judge-rejects-new-evidence-testing-in-west-memphis-3-case https://www.jivepuppi.com/dale_griffis.html https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/10/13/Juror-misconduct-alleged-in-murder-verdict/28341287001195/ https://knowablemagazine.org/article/society/2018/hidden-damage-solitary-confinement See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/pri

In October of 2019, prison officers at HMP Full Sutton in West Yorkshire discovered the body of a prisoner who'd been subjected to 89 minutes of torture before being strangled to death by another inmate. The victim was 33-year-old Richard Huckle. Dubbed by the media as "The Gap Year Paedophile", Huckle was serving a life sentence for carrying out a 9-year-long, systematic campaign of abuse against some of the world's poorest children. Huckle documented his atrocities on the dark web, authored a how-to-guide for paedophiles, and contributed to one of the largest nonce-networks ever discovered. This is the story of Richard Huckle and the incredible officers who brought him down.

Described by the first officer to arrive as “the worst domestic scene” they’d ever witnessed, the brutality of what Alex Skeel endured was shocking. Alex had deep gashes on his arms, burns upon burns, and according to his family, he smelt like he was dead. But his years of isolation and abuse weren’t the work of a kidnapper – they came from the woman he loved.

The Norwegian black metal scene of the early 90s started with pigs’ heads impaled on spikes, buried clothes wrapped around dead birds, and other notorious onstage antics. In three years, it spiralled into dozens of ancient churches going up in flames, violent bigotry – and the gruesome deaths of three people. In this week’s episode, the girls chart the bloody origins of one band, Mayhem, and how they fostered the most feared music scene in history… Become a patron: Patreon Order a copy of the book here (US & Canada): Order on Wellesley Books Order on Amazon.com Order a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus): Order on Amazon.co.uk Order on Foyles Follow us on social media: Instagram Twitter Visit our website: Website Sources: https://tv.apple.com/gb/movie/until-the-light-takes-us/umc.cmc.1g292qd3qhrj40k63ocy4z6we?action=play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32iX5lbVDto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKX9OjNy_NI https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/22/before-you-know-it-its-not

In 2013, paramedics were called to a home in Mississauga, Ontario. There they found the body of 40-year-old Caleb Harrison lying in bed, with red marks around his neck. But this wasn’t the first time that the paramedics had found a dead body at the Harrison family home. In fact, in the space of just five years, three members of the Harrison family had died in separate and bizarre incidents in the same house… Was the house haunted by a murderous ghost, or was the family being preyed upon by a calculated and patient killer?

When three masked men entered the Pan family home, it seemed like an opportunistic home break-in. But on closer inspection, things just didn't add up.  Why would the would-be robbers shoot Hann and Bich Pan in cold blood, but leave their 24-year-old daughter Jennifer relatively unharmed? Why didn’t they drive off in the expensive Lexus that was parked in the drive?  And why would Hann Pan run from the house, leaving his daughter tied to a bannister?

Speeding towards the ground at over 60 miles per hour, former soldier and parachute instructor Victoria Cilliers was about to make history. She would be the first person in over a decade to experience a double parachute failure.  Miraculously, she survived the impact. But when Victoria’s equipment was examined, it became clear there was more to this “freak accident” than met the eye. There were gas leaks, gaslights and grounds to divorce.

Boyzone obsessions and black magic paedophile rings consumed the mind of Sabrina Koudier. And her neighbours turned a blind eye to the strange woman's violent outbursts and vile treatment of her au pair. It wasn't their place to get involved. But even the well-to-do residents of Southfields couldn't ignore a billowing plume of black smoke and the unmistakable smell of burning hair and flesh.

In 2021, a 51-year-old man referred to as “Daddy” by the followers of his alleged sex cult, was found guilty of 8 counts of sex trafficking. Breaking any of Daddy’s rules would result in brutal punishment; including beatings, solitary confinement, and starvation.  “Daddy” kept his victims – most of them teenagers – locked up in his mansion. And all the while, he was topping music charts across the world with his era-defining R&B hits… This is the story of the rise and fall of Robert Sylvester Kelly.

On 22 May 2017, as Ariana Grande hit the high notes of her final song to a sold-out Manchester Arena, Salman Abedi hit the button on a homemade bomb. The resulting explosion killed Abedi and 22 other innocent people, and left over 1,000 more injured.  The country mourned, millions of pounds were raised, and we all promised not to let hate win. But as the dust settled, a worrying question started being asked: how did a known terrorist sympathiser who had fought alongside an ISIL militia slip through the UK’s counterterrorism net?
