16: Chris Benoit
Explícito
Join Lauren and Bally this week as they investigate one of the most shocking tragedies in professional wrestling history: The Chris Benoit Case. In June 2007, former WWE star Chris Benoit killed his wife Nancy and their 7-year-old son Daniel before taking his own life. The murders stunned fans around the world and left behind a trail of unanswered questions about what happened in the Benoit home and what may have led to the tragedy. We explore Chris’s rise through the wrestling world, Nancy’s life and legacy, Daniel’s story, and the lasting impact the case had on wrestling, mental health awareness, and conversations around brain injury and CTE. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, support is available.

15: Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?
Explícito
Join Lauren and Bally this week as we talk about one of Britain’s most enduring unsolved mysteries: Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? In 1943, four boys came across a hollow wych elm tree in Hagley Wood, Worcestershire, there they found the skeletal remains of a woman hidden inside. Months later, mysterious graffiti began appearing across the West Midlands asking the chilling question, “Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?” More than 80 years later, the question of who she was and who killed her remains unanswered. For this episode, we travelled to the Wychbury Obelisk, one of the locations where the infamous graffiti appeared, to explore one of the places at the heart of this haunting mystery. We discuss the discovery, the investigation, the theories, and why this case continues to amaze people today! If you have information relating to an unsolved crime, you can contact your local police force or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

In 2007, 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in the cottage she shared with other exchange students in Perugia, Italy. The investigation that followed became a global media sensation, placing Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito at the centre of a years-long legal battle filled with conflicting evidence, overturned convictions, and worldwide scrutiny.
