Strange, but TRUE CRIME
Age 16+
Stranger than fiction: explore the world’s most shocking and unbelievable crime cases, including:
The serial killer who gained work in law enforcement whilst on the run - and was then tasked with hunting himself!
The researcher whose career began after an encounter in a lift with a serial killer – who had just killed his latest victims, and was carrying a bag believed to be holding their decapitated heads.
The female, balloon-carrying killer clown.
One woman’s plan to get a prolific serial killer released from prison by committing a copycat murder of her own… and her connection to yet another serial killer!
The 14-year reign of terror one child snatcher inflicted on locals, whilst wearing a terrifying mask and makeshift claws.
The hunt for a phantom female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes spanning 18 years… who did not exist.
Serial Killers on game shows – how their appearances led to their identification.
Explore the psychology behind costumes, masks and disguises.
Plus learn how the police could have DNA, fingerprints or an eyewitness tying you to a crime you did not commit!
