Behind the façade of the white-picket-fence dream and adventurous childhoods of suburban, late-70s Michigan, lay a web of depravity that law enforcement was not remotely prepared for. Over the course of just one tragic year, the town of Oakland was terrorised: four children vanished, only to turn up dead. Chillingly, one had even been fed his favourite food, just before his murder.

Was this the work of a lone killer? Or an organised, murderous child abuse operation involving a network of predators, stretching all the way to the top? After thousands of leads and countless hours of investigation, not one single arrest has ever been made. So what?s the truth? We open up the coldest case in Michigan: the Oakland County Child Killer.

Not many of us need convincing that Sesame Street is good; the Muppets have been chaotic TV icons for more than 50 years. But what not many people know is just how much good it did.

Not just unmissable TV, but a revolutionary, massive-scale outreach program. One that used ad-land tactics and groundbreaking psychological research, to reset the balance of educational privilege ? and teach disadvantaged, inner-city kids how to read. It?s a sunny day. We?re sweeping the clouds away. This is the ShortHand, sponsored by the letter ?S?.

With 2026 bringing widespread anti-government protests to Iran, and the government?s brutal crackdowns leading to thousands of people killed and arrested, we?re rereleasing our coverage on the current regime ? and how we got here ? through the lens of Mahsa Amini?s murder.

--

On 19 May 2024, Ebrahim Raisi ? ?The Butcher of Tehran? and President of the Islamic Republic of Iran ? died in a helicopter crash. Immediately, theories of who had killed him and why, swept the worlds? media.

But while his passing inspired this episode, we?re also going to look at his many thousands of victims ? and in particular how his actions led to the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in 2022. It was a single death which sparked protests that challenged the mullahs of Iran like never before.

In 2000, Christine Lundy and her seven-year-old daughter Amber were brutally hacked to death in their New Zealand home. Their husband and father, Mark Lundy, had a seemingly watertight alibi: he was over 90 miles away.

But that didn?t stop the New Zealand courts from convicting him. Twice.

With a controversial case built on junk science, shifting timelines, and a microscopic speck of what prosecutors called ?brain tissue? (but might have just been lunch), the Lundy saga was New Zealand?s answer to Making a Murderer.

Was an innocent man wrongfully convicted? Or did the police catch a killer who thought he?d pulled off the perfect crime?

?Anal seepage? is one of the many potential risks to the consumer due to seafood fraud, a multi-layered conspiracy that goes as deep as the Mariana Trench.

The stats speak for themselves: if you?re in the UK, there?s a 55% chance that the fish you?re eating has been deliberately mislabeled. In the US, 120 samples of ?Red Snapper? were tested, and only 7 turned out to be the real thing.

Clearly there?s something fishy going on.

When Luigi Mangione was charged as the UnitedHealthcare shooter ? it changed everything. The public knew this was a political act, but Luigi was not the crackpot vigilante many had pictured. He had no clear personal link to UnitedHealthcare (or CEO Brian Thompson) ? and he had everything to lose. To many, he became a certified, revolutionary, anti-capitalist heartthrob.

But there?s also a lot more to Mangione than the selfless martyr with chiselled abs. In our concluding part, we take a deeper look at Mangione?s life: his privileged upbringing, world travels, and the innermost thoughts shared in his notebook ? which reveal how a charming, idealistic tech bro with the world at his feet, turned his thoughts to murder.

Three words, written on bullet casings, instantly changed the New York City shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson from a senseless inner-city attack, into one of the most polarising, unique and culturally important events in modern memory.

In part one of our coverage of the Luigi Mangione story, we run through the entire breakneck timeline of those first five days: the nationwide manhunt, the growing cultural phenomenon, and the arrest ? where police said they unmasked the killer, and his manifesto, for the first time. And then, the madness that followed: when detached, meme-led internet thirst met one of the most febrile political discussions in the modern US.

Imagine a building as tall as the Empire State Building, that stretches for more than 100km through the Saudi Arabian desert. Inside are nine million people ? with robot maids and a giant fake moon ? living in self-sufficient pods where everything they need is a five-minute walk away.

It?s part of NEOM, a futuristic megacity complex, which the Saudi government has already started building. And if you believe the PR, it?ll be a car-free, carbon-free, utopian existence ? the most equitable and sustainable society in human history. But will it happen? And what is the financial (and human) cost? For our first ShortHand back in 2026, we?re looking at the most ambitious and controversial building project ever: The Line.

When the son of Mormon family vlogger Ruby Franke turned up bound, emaciated and apparently covered in blood ? it horrified the police, the internet and Franke?s millions of followers.

The uber-strict brand of parenting advice she preached on her YouTube channel, ?8 Passengers?, had been drawing online criticism for years. But even her loudest detractors couldn?t know how despicable and unhinged her punishments had grown. That is, until a diary, found among evidence of torture in a windowless basement, revealed the depths of her abuse to the world.

Well, back in 2012, American filmmaker Jason Russell was determined to make the whole world know Joseph Kony's name.

When Santa Claus robbed the First National Bank in Cisco, Texas, two days before Christmas 1929 ? it was just the beginning of a wilder-than-fiction festive tale.

What followed was a calamitous string of bungled carjackings, high-speed chases, oil-field shootouts, a trail of dead and injured townsfolk, and mishaps aplenty ? all under a hail of gunfire from the entire town of Cisco, who in true Texas fashion were all armed to the teeth, and desperate to be the one to nail Santa?

OJ Simpson wasn?t black, ?he was OJ?. That was the narrative OJ had pushed his entire career? right up until he found himself in the dock for killing his ex-wife and a waiter. Then suddenly OJ Simpson was practically MLK himself.

Last week in our first part on ?The Juice?, we told you how OJ Simpson killed Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. In Part Two, we?re going to tell you how he went to trial, with all of the evidence stacked against him ? and, with the help of the ?dream team?, still got away with murder.

Orenthal James Simpson, aka ?OJ?, aka ?The Juice?: the single most famous man in American sporting history. By the early 90s he had not only established himself as the greatest American Football player who?d ever lived ? but he had also transcended sport, turning himself into a charismatic advertising machine and national icon.

However, in June 1994, it all fell apart ? when he killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown, and her friend Ron Goldman in cold blood, leaving a trail of evidence and eventually going on a highly televised (but actually pretty slow) car chase. But somehow, he got away with it. Welcome to the most American thing since apple pie: the life of OJ Simpson, and his unquestionable guilt.

It?s a locked-room whodunnit that has bamboozled the French public for almost a century.

The murder of Laetitia Toureaux unravelled her dizzying double (and triple) lives as a factory worker by day, nightclub siren by night ? and a glamorous undercover spy tangled up in the deadliest politics of 1930s France?

The case still remains officially unsolved: but can we solve it? Step aboard and join us as we try to crack this shadowy Parisian mystery.

In part one, we introduce strait-laced lawyer Robert Wone ? and hear from the other men in the apartment that night: a messy throuple, with a romantic dynamic as changeable as their alibis.

The police knew their suspect was a sexual sadist ? one who had trapped a young boy for days and took great pleasure in slowly, methodically, snapping every bone in his legs. What they didn?t expect was that this ghastly resident of Baraboo, Wisconsin was still just 17 years old. And it wasn?t his first time.

H&S spin the sinister tale of a twisted young psychopath, hiding in plain sight in an unassuming Midwestern town.

*Update* Ian Watkins has been stabbed to death in Wakefield Prison by two fellow inmates, on Saturday 11th October 2025. He was previously stabbed in 2023, when he was taken hostage for six hours by a group of inmates. Here is our full episode from 2019.

--

Ian Watkins was the lead singer of Welsh rock band Lostprophets. He toured all over the world, playing to sold out stadiums of adoring fans - so in 2012 when he was arrested and charged with 13 counts of child sex offences, including against a child as young as 11 months old, the world was shocked.

This is a particularly troubling case because it of course covers the abuse this depraved man doled out to incredibly young victims, but there are also deeply troubling questions raised about why authorities missed chance after chance to catch Watkins.

One of WWII?s lesser-known horrors, Japan?s secret biological warfare testing program is so brutal and inhumane that it?s hard to believe it could ever happen. And at its helm was a twisted microbiologist Shiro Ishi. 

Victims, known inside as ?logs?, were injected and exposed to countless pathogens including typhoid, cholera, and the plague, then watched like lab rats as they were gripped by the diseases. Even in their last moments, the poor souls stuck inside Unit 731 weren?t safe, as they were cut open and examined, while they were still alive?

Due to a huge number of requests following a new Netflix doc on Thabo Bester, we're re-releasing our 2023 episode on the shocking, shameless, madder-than-fiction South African saga.

--

At 2am, on the 3rd of May 2022 ? inmates at Mangaung prison in Bloemfontein, South Africa, were woken up by an explosion. Word spread that Thabo Bester, the infamous ?Facebook Rapist?, had set himself and his cell on fire. And all that remained after the dramatic blaze were a lighter, and a body, burnt beyond recognition. But that?s far from the end of the story. 

With daily revelations from the trial still hitting headlines, expect a farcical morgue-robbing scheme, a massive-scale web of fraud conducted from inside a prison cell, and a glamorous celebrity doctor who?s not quite what she seems.

--

Someone was cyberbullying Jenelle Potter: hurling online abuse and threatening her life with claims that she was "too pretty to live". As things escalated, inexplicably, the CIA seemed to become involved and Jenelle's parents felt the only way to save their vulnerable daughter was to take matters into their own hands. 

But once her "bullies" were dead questions quickly surfaced about Jenelle's behaviour...

Being in the World Trade Centre when the second plane hit the South Tower; watching her assistant be decapitated; crawling over the bodies of her dead and injured co-workers; and becoming one of only nineteen people to survive being at or above the point of impact: these are all things Tania Head did not experience. 

Yet for six years, Tania (real name Alicia) was the 9/11 survivor. She inspired others, worked tirelessly for their cause, and even became a beacon of hope as the president of the World Trade Center Survivors' Network. 

This is how the greatest 9/11 story ever told turned out to be a hoax.

How have Britain?s most secure facilities dealt with a man who could explode in a frenzy of brutal violence and destruction at any moment? What happens to a man who spends more than 25 years in solitary confinement? And most importantly: now that Britain?s most infamous inmate has rebranded as an artist, poet, and man of peace, will it ever be safe to let him out?

This is the story of the larger-than-life British institution, who once stripped naked, greased himself in butter, and ran at a dozen armed guards ? just for the love of the brawl.

In 2006, the body of Polish student Angelika Kluk was found hidden in the most unthinkable place: stuffed beneath the floorboards of a Glasgow church.

The man who put her there ? greyhaired handyman Peter Tobin ? was about to have his own sins laid bare. And what police found would reveal a predator whose impact stretched far beyond the church walls: with vanished girls, broken families, and a raft of missed opportunities to stop a prolific offender from slipping through the cracks of the UK justice system.

Eventually, Tobin was unmasked as one of Britain?s darkest serial killers, with whispers linking him to the infamous ?Bible John? murders. His true victim count? Only God can keep the score.

In 2016, ex-footballer Andy Woodward revealed on live TV that he and countless other boys were sexually abused by their former youth coach, Barry Bennell, whilst training in Manchester City and Crewe Alexandra?s acclaimed ?football factories? as youngsters in the 1980s and 90s. 

In doing so, he blew the whistle on one of the UK?s most prolific child abusers ? and triggered a scandal that went deeper than anyone could?ve imagined?

Because Barry Bennell wasn?t the first ? or the last ? paedophilic predator to muddy the pitch of the beautiful game. The widespread child abuse scandal tore through the heart of British football, revealing a toxic culture more interested in collecting trophies than protecting children.

NOTE: Our update on the Epstein files will be released TOMORROW (Tuesday July 29th) to everyone. In the meantime, for all the context, here?s our two-parter in full!

--

The story of Jeffrey Epstein ? the billionaire financier with an industrial-scale web of child abuse implicating some of the most powerful people in the world ? sounds like some half-baked conspiracy theory. But it?s all true.

We tell the story from the very beginning ? from Epstein?s grifting origins to sex-trafficking minors over to his private island. And how Epstein kept on getting away with it, despite there being hundreds of people that knew what he really was: a dangerous, influential and insatiable child rapist with a sophisticated network of fixers. 

And finally, we take a look at what kind of justice ? if any ? was served. Plus: what really happened in that jail cell in 2019?

At lunchtime, a family in southeast Australia sat down for beef wellington with a mushroom duxelles, creamy mash and buttery green beans. The next morning, most of the guests would be violently ill. A week later, three of them would be dead. Only one diner was totally unaffected: the host, Erin Patterson? who later would stand trial for murder by poison mushroom.

In part one of our post-trial evaluation of this case, we take a look back at that fateful lunch, and Erin?s increasingly evasive and bizarre behaviour in the weeks after it ? all while her family members fought for their lives.

On Wednesday 2 July 2025, a jury found Sean Combs NOT GUILTY of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy ? his two most serious charges, which carried a potential sentence of life in prison. He was found guilty on lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.

So, despite all the clear evidence of guilt, how did the jury come to this decision in just two days of deliberation? We take a closer look at how the trial went down, what part Cassie Ventura played, and where the defence went so very wrong?

This week, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were found GUILTY of gross negligence manslaughter. So, on top of our rereleased episode from last year, here is everything you need to know from the bizarre retrial: unbelievable revelations about Mark Gordon's past crimes, an answer on Constance's mysterious 'fall' from a balcony, and more delays and fired barristers than we ever thought possible.

When the body of a weeks-old baby was found in a plastic bag in a shed, covered in soil and rubbish, it marked the end of one of the UK?s strangest and most tragic criminal manhunts. The baby?s parents were Constance Marten and Mark Gordon ? an aristocratic heiress and an American convicted rapist.

As a jury wrestled for months over the couple?s guilt, more and more shocking details came out. Details of nights spent in a cheap tent out on the freezing moors. Of Gordon?s brutal criminal history. And the heartbreaking image that stuck in the nation?s mind more than anything else: the accusation that the baby had spent its short life carried around, in the depths of winter, in nothing but a plastic shopping bag.

Who shot JFK is irrelevant, how many people shot him is the real question. Once you have decided there was more than one shooter, the fate of the world is sealed forever.

This is the original conspiracy theory, the dawn of the tin foil hat era. The assassination of the President in broad daylight, in front of hundreds, it had everyone asking questions.

Questions that went totally unanswered by the Warren Commission, tasked with proving that a lone nutcase shot JFK and that the CIA had nothing to do with it? they failed in their mission.

?I am a paedophile? and I?m very happy about it.? The thousands of handwritten entries in the so-called ?black notebooks? of France?s worst ever child sex offender revealed more than 30 years of horrendous abuse. In devastating detail, they described acts carried out on young patients in his work as a surgeon, in hospitals across western France. He is likely to have abused more than 400 children.

The notebooks also showed just how many blind eyes were turned in that time, and how, at home, he descended further and further into depravity: living in filth, surrounded by more than 70 child-sized dolls. Just weeks after the sentencing in May 2025, we open the paedophile diaries of Dr Joël Le Scouarnec.

With Scientology?s biggest poster boy back on the big screen, the church is ramping up the recruitment drive. And to make sure you STAY AWAY from this sinister, star-studded sci-fi cult posing as a world religion, we?re rereleasing our two-parter as a bumper bonus episode...

-- 

Hannah and Suruthi peer under the slippery stone of Scientology?s sinister origins. They track the life of founder L. Ron Hubbard, from the birth of Dianetics, to the constantly shifting goalposts of engrams, and of course the conception of the Sea Org.

Then, they unravel the mysteries of Scientology (and get themselves fair-gamed) by discussing Scientology's most important questions like: "what is the current structure of The Church of Scientology?", "where does Tom Cruise fit in?" and most importantly "where on Xenu's green earth is dead-eyed Dave's wife Shelly Miscavige?"
