  • The Murders of Heather Wilkinson, Don and Gail Patterson and the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson: Erin Patterson (Part 1)

    The Murders of Heather Wilkinson, Don and Gail Patterson and the attempted murder of Ian Wilkinson: Erin Patterson (Part 1)
    Apr 13 2026
    This is part 1/2.In July 2023, a quiet lunch in rural Leongatha would become the centre of one of the most shocking and disturbing criminal cases in recent Australian history, when 4 guests sat down at the home of Erin Patterson, unaware that the meal placed in front of them would soon leave 3 of them dead and another fighting for their life.What began as a supposed ordinary family gathering, quickly spiralled into a medical emergency that baffled doctors and horrified investigators. Symptoms consistent with deadly mushroom poisoning began to emerge, leading authorities to suspect the involvement of the highly toxic death cap mushroom... one of the most lethal fungi in the world, responsible for the majority of mushroom-related deaths globally.As the case unfolded, attention turned to Erin herself, the host of the lunch, whose relationship with the victims, including her former in-laws, added a deeply personal and complex layer to the investigation, raising unsettling questions about motive, intent, and what may have really happened inside that home on that winter afternoon.With conflicting accounts, alleged inconsistencies, and growing public fascination, the case has sparked intense debate across Australia and beyond, with many asking the same chilling question: was this a tragic accident… or something far more deliberate?Because behind the headlines, the courtroom arguments, and the forensic evidence, lies a story that is still unfolding... and one that may ultimately reveal that the truth of what happened that day is far darker than anyone first imagined.

  • Human Rabies Cases: How It Kills and Who Survived

    Human Rabies Cases: How It Kills and Who Survived
    Apr 9 2026
    Rabies is one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, with a fatality rate that is almost 100% once symptoms begin, a disease that can lie dormant for weeks or even months before suddenly, and violently, taking over the brain, leaving doctors with almost no way to stop what comes next.In this episode, we explore the real-life case of Yvonne Ford, a 59 year old grandmother from Barnsley, whose life changed after what seemed like nothing more than a minor scratch from a puppy while on holiday, an injury so small it didn’t even bleed. Months later she developed devastating neurological symptoms that would escalate rapidly, leading to her death in just a matter of days.But her story is only one side of rabies.Because in extremely rare cases, the outcome is different.We also examine the case of Jeanna Giese, a teenager from Wisconsin who became the first person ever known to survive rabies after symptoms had already begun, a case that challenged everything the medical world thought it knew about the virus, and led to the development of an experimental treatment known as the Milwaukee Protocol.Through these two cases, Grace breaks down how rabies is transmitted, why even the smallest scratch can be enough to infect, what really happens inside the body as the virus travels through the nervous system, and why symptoms like hydrophobia are among the most terrifying and unmistakable signs that the disease has reached its final stage.We also explore the rare and controversial cases of survival, including what doctors still don’t understand about why a handful of people live while almost everyone else doesn’t, and why, despite modern medicine, rabies remains one of the most unforgiving infections in the world.

  • UK True Crime: The Murder of Carrie Slater

    UK True Crime: The Murder of Carrie Slater
    Apr 6 2026

    Carrie Slater was 37 years old when she was found with a catastrophic head injury inside a quiet bungalow in the village of Long Clawson.

    When her partner, Richard Basson, called 999, he claimed it was an accident… that Carrie had somehow walked into a pool cue during an argument over a cigarette. But within moments of arriving at the scene, police knew something wasn’t right. The injury didn’t match the story, the evidence didn’t line up, and as detectives began to piece together what had really happened inside that house, Richard's version of events began to unravel.

    What they would uncover was a far darker reality... one involving an illegal firearm, a history of violence, and a carefully constructed lie that Richard hoped would save him from the consequences of his actions.

    In this episode of REDRUM, we examine the final hours of Carrie Slater’s life, the controlling relationship that preceded her death, and the forensic evidence that exposed the truth behind a story so implausible it shocked even experienced investigators. From the chilling 999 call to the courtroom, this is a case raises unsettling questions about coercion, accountability, and how far someone will go to cover up the unthinkable.
