In July 1991 18 year old Julie Dart was kidnapped from Leeds and forced to write ransom letters to her boyfriend and mother. Kept in a workshop by her kidnapper she tried to escape and was killed. Her body was found in Lincolnshire nine days later. In January 1992 25 year old Stephanie Slater was kidnapped while showing a house as an estate agent. She was taken to the same workshop while her kidnapper sent random notes to her employer. Once he had collected the ransom money Stephanie was let go and dropped off back to her family.

In June 2024, just last year, in Harrow Ontario, Carly Stannard-Walsh, 41, and her children, 13-year-old Madison and 8-year-old Hunter, were found dead in their house. They had all been shot. Their husband and father Steven Walsh was also found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and had killed his whole family before taking his own life. In a move we rarely see, the police correctly identified and named this as an act of intimate partner violence.
This is the story of the Walsh Family.

What happens when a seemingly idyllic life in a small Irish village turns into a horrifying tragedy? Join us as we uncover the grim tale of the Fox family from Castle Daly, Ireland, forever etched in the annals of true crime history. In this heart-wrenching episode, we honor the memories of Debbie Fox and her two young sons, Trevor and Killian, whose lives were brutally taken by Debbie's husband, Gregory Fox, in 2001. With insights from Nicola Tallant's compelling book, "Flesh and Blood," we explore the chilling realities of coercive control that shattered this family's world, while challenging the pervasive narratives that often blame victims rather than holding abusers accountable.This is the story of the Fox Family.

In May 2021 Bethany Vincent and her 9-year-old son Darren Henson were stabbed and killed by her ex-partner Daniel Boulton. A serial perpetrator of domestic abuse and coercive control Boulton had two restraining orders against him when he walked 28 miles to kill Bethany and her son. A review into the murders concluded that the risk he posed was underestimated by professionals and I believe that better understanding of coercive control could have prevented the murders.
This is the story of Bethany Vincent and Darren Henson.

Join me as we mark an important milestone: the one-year anniversary of the Killer in the Family podcast. This special episode delves into the chilling story of Mark Barton, a man whose life spiralled into a deadly rampage, devastating numerous families and communities. We'll uncover Barton's coercive and controlling behaviour, exploring how these actions escalated to the murder of his wife Leanne, stepchildren Matthew and Michelle, and eventually nine others in a brutal spree. I also share updates on my ongoing research into coercive control as a risk factor in intimate partner homicides, and my journey towards a professional doctorate in criminal justice.

What happens when systemic failures allow a predator to unleash unimaginable horror on an innocent family? Join us as we confront the chilling case of Lesley Ford and her children, who were brutally murdered by Lee Ford in August 2000. This episode navigates through Leslie's life in Telford, her marriage to Michael Tranter, and the birth of their children: Sarah Jane, Ann-Marie, Craig, and Steven. We examine Ford's need for power and control, which shattered this family's existence, and highlight the emotional toll on those left behind. As we recount this harrowing tale, we also shed light on Ford's potential parole in 2027 and reflect on the emotional scars carried by the victims' loved ones.
This is the story of Lesley Ford and her children – Sarah Jane, Ann-Marie, Craig and Steven Tranter.

In August 2008 Jill Foster and her 15 year old daughter Kirstie were shot and killed by their husband and father Christopher Foster. A successful businessman who was staring down the loss of his empire and home – he shot and killed his wife and daughter before killing his dogs and horses and setting his house on fire and taking his own life. Having talked about taking his life in the months before, Foster was a cry for help that no one heard.
This is the story of The Foster Family.
