It was an ordinary school day—until it wasn’t.
Twelve-year-old Nikki Conroy should have been safe within the walls of her classroom. Instead, a stranger walked in, armed with a knife and intent on violence.
What followed was a terrifying attack that left one child dead, several others traumatised, and an entire nation asking: how could this happen in a school?
In this episode, we unravel the chilling events of that March afternoon in 1994 at Hall Garth School in Middlesbrough. We look at the man who brought horror into a place of learning, the moment-by-moment chaos inside that classroom, and the devastating consequences of a system that failed to protect its most vulnerable.
Disturbing, emotional, and important—this is a story that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

William & Zachary Zulock: Predators In Plain Sight
In this harrowing episode we uncover the deeply disturbing case of William and Zachary Zulock — a seemingly picture-perfect couple from Georgia who adopted two young boys, only to exploit and abuse them in the most vile ways imaginable.
Behind their carefully curated social media presence was a world of unthinkable depravity. The Zulocks weren’t just unfit parents — they were predators, using their position of trust and protection to commit unspeakable crimes. As the investigation unfolded, what authorities discovered would horrify even the most seasoned detectives and leave a community in shock.
Join us as we break down the timeline of events, the evidence that led to their arrest, and the questions that still linger about how this couple was ever allowed to adopt in the first place. This is a story of betrayal, systemic failure, and a fight for survival that’s only just begun.

Case Reopened: Folie à deux - The Madness of Twins
We have an announcement at the beginning of this week's episode for anyone who missed it on our socials...
Folie à deux, or “madness of two", is a rare psychological phenomenon where delusion is shared between two closely connected people. Think siblings. Think twins.
This week, we reopen one of the most bizarre and unsettling cases we’ve ever covered: the story of Sabina and Ursula Eriksson. Twin sisters whose shared descent into chaos left witnesses stunned, authorities baffled, and one man dead.

Blood Ties: The Murder of Scarlett Vickers
50-year-old Simon Vickers was the very definition of a devoted father. He lived in a modest suburban semi just outside of Darlington in County Durham with his long-time partner, Sarah Hall, and their 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. Friends described him as hands-on, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his only child.
So why then, on the evening of July 5th, while Sarah stood at the stove cooking spaghetti Bolognese for her family, did Simon drive a kitchen knife eleven centimetres into Scarlett’s chest?
Why would a loving father turn into a killer in the blink of an eye? What darkness was simmering beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary home?
In this episode, we peel back the layers of this devastating family tragedy as we attempt to answer these questions.
