Emily brings us the mysterious case of The Boy In The Box this week on Gin & Sin... and it's a real head-scratcher! The "Boy in the Box" was an unidentified 3-5-year-old murdered child whose naked, malnourished body was found on the side of a road in 1957. To this day, no one really knows what exactly happened to him - there are literally tonnes of theories out there... Today, we discuss some of the main ones for you!  

Today on Gin & Sin, Jo brings the case of 14-year-old Stephanie Isaacson.  Stephanie Isaacson's murder case had gone cold until new technology made it possible to test what little remained of the suspect's DNA 32 years later!

In this episode, Pati brings us the infamous case of The Zodiac Killer in another instalment of our Sinner Of the Month features.  The Zodiac is an unidentified serial killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s. The case has been described as one of the most famous unsolved murder cases in American history. The Zodiac murdered five known victims in the San Francisco Bay Area, mainly targeting young couples, but it is believed there may be many more.

Emily brings us the case of Pedro Rodrigues Filho this week on Gin and Sin. Rodrigues, also known as Pedrinho Matador, is a Brazilian serial killer who killed other criminals... and the numbers are shocking, especially considering most of his victims were fellow inmates!  

On this episode of Gin and Sin, Emily presents the extraordinary tale of Alison Botha.  Botha is a South African woman who late one night, was abducted whilst parking her car by two men. The men then drove her to a deserted area miles from her home and subjected her to a truly horrific ordeal. Join us as we delve into the tale of Alison's miraculous story of survival against all odds. It truly defies belief! Listener discretion is advised.

Today Pati presents the case of The Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The experiment began in 1932, at a time when there was no known treatment for syphilis. After being recruited by the promise of free medical care, 600 African American men were enrolled in the project. However, unbeknown to them, they were to be treated as little more than lab rats in this completely unethical and deplorable 'study'. This is a truly shocking case.  

On this instalment of Gin and Sin, Jo brings us the second of our Sinner Of The Month episodes, with the case of H.H. Holmes.  Herman Webster Mudgett, better known as Dr Henry Howard Holmes or H. H. Holmes, was an American con artist, murderer, and trigamist. What sets Holmes aside though, is that he made his killing into a business through the use of his murder hotel. With his hotel, he was able to kill his victims so efficiently, people were completely unsuspecting of him... until it was too late.

In this episode, Emily presents the public-dividing case of child killer, Mary Bell. What makes Bell's case especially disturbing though, is that she was just 11 years old when she committed her crimes.  We take an in-depth look into Mary Bell's deeply troubled childhood and try to figure out if she was born bad, or if she was turned that way by the circumstances she was raised in.  

In this weeks episode, Emily brings us the supernatural case of Anna Elisabeth "Anneliese" Michel. Anneliese was a young German woman who underwent 67 Catholic exorcism rites during the year before her death. She believed herself to be possessed by a whole host of demons, including Hitler and even Lucifer himself. Her tale has inspired works such as The Exorcism Of Emily Rose. Do you think Anneliese was actually possessed or, was she suffering from severe mental health issues? Tune in and see what you think.  

In this episode, Jo brings us the case of Liam Ashley. Liam was a 17-year-old boy from New Zealand charged with the fairly minor crime of joy-riding the family car. Whilst on the way to prison he was placed in the company of a high-risk inmate... and things then took a very sinister turn for the young prisoner.  

Today, Emily brings us the case of Russian-born Anatoly Moskvin who had the slightly peculiar hobby of hanging out in cemeteries and sleeping on graves. He was also an avid doll collector and even made a few himself... Tune in to hear all about the decade long very dark secret that Moskvin was keeping until police searched his home in 2011. To say it's a weird one doesn't even begin to cover it!

In this weeks episode, Jo brings us the unsolved murder of a man found in Clocaenog Forest, Wales. The Clocaenog Forest is in west Denbighshire and east Conwy, Wales on Mynydd Hiraethog. We thought it would be a good idea to shed some light on this crime as very little is known about him or his origins. Also, please forgive our awful pronunciations of Welsh names!

This week, Emily brings us the second part of the Ted Bundy case. It's a long, tragic story with many twists and turns. The sheer scale of Ted's crimes is still something, even decades later, difficult to try and comprehend.

This week, Emily brings us the infamous case of Ted Bundy, and as we say in the episode... if you haven't come across this guy before, you may actually have been living under a rock. There's tonnes of information and documentaries dedicated to him and his awful crimes. Jo and Emily delve deep to try and get to the route of where it all began and discuss whether the crimes he admitted to were the only ones, or if there were more he kept quiet about.  This episode is the first of a two-part release as we really wanted to have an in-depth discussion. So, be sure to tune in next week for the second instalment.

This week, Jo brings the Urbanuary Legends month to a close with the tale of The Black Volga. The Black Volga refers to an urban legend infamous in Poland, Hungary, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Greece and Mongolia, mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. The legend refers to a black car that was allegedly used to abduct people, especially children. It's a short and snappy tale that'll keep you on the edge of your seat!

This week, Emily brings us the case of The Tylenol Murders. The Chicago Tylenol murders were a series of poisonings resulting from drug tampering in the Chicago metropolitan area in 1982. The 'tamper-proof' foil on your medicines was definitely put there for good reason folks!  

This week, Pati brings us the Urban Legend and folklore myth of La Llorona. In Latin American folklore, "The Weeping Woman" or "The Wailer" is a ghost who roams waterfront areas mourning her children whom she drowned to get revenge upon her cheating husband. It's a spooky one! (we had some tech issues this week, so apologies in advance!)

This week Emily brings us another Urbanuary Legend. This time, the case of Cropsey. Cropsey was an Urban Legend set on New Yorks' Staten Island; the quintessential cautionary Boogeyman tale of children going missing if they misbehaved or wandered off from their parents. No one really put much stock in it until children really did start going missing in the 70's and 80's. Staten Island had its own real-life Boogeyman, and his name was Andre Rand.

This week, Jo kicks off our 'Urbanuary Legends' month (just go with it) with the story of The North Pond Hermit who evaded capture for 27 years in the North Pond area of Maine's Belgrade Lakes. Tune in to hear his unbelievable story, it's an interesting one!
