In September 2012, 46 year old Kim Buckley, her 17 year old daughter Kayleigh Buckley and 6 month old granddaughter Kimberley Buckley all died in a house fire in Cwmbran, in Wales. The fire had been deliberately started by Kayleigh’s controlling and abusive boyfriend – and father of Kimberley - Carl Mills who was later jailed for over 30 years for their murders. Mills groomed Kayleigh when she was just 15 years old and three statutory reports identified multiple failings in the police and social services response to the danger Mills posed. A heartbreaking story of the murder of three generations of a family and the failure of services to protect them.  This is the story of Kim, Kayleigh and Kimberley Buckley.  Information and support  Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline    References  Family Annihilation - Hansard - UK Parliament CWMBRAN BLAZE: Family pays tribute to Kim, Kayleigh and Kimberley Buckley | South Wales Argus Killer of three generations of the same family was involved in 45 incidents of violence against his own mother - Wales Online String of tragedies for fire death family - BBC News Serious case review into fire deaths - ITV News Police Professional | Gwent response to fire murders criticisedGwent Police failed Carl Mills murder victims - reports - BBC News Cwmbran fire death family 'likely' to have been saved if killer's history had been properly researched | ITV News Wales Risk to Cwmbran fire death family was not properly understood - ITV News Serious case review criticises social services over Cwmbran Cwmbran fire deaths: Carl Mills jailed at least 30 years for triple murder | Crime | The Guardian Credits  Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by Clare Laxton Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio Music from Tyee Brunt-Clifford Home | TBC.COMPOSER If you’re enjoying the podcast and would like to support its running, please consider buying me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/clarelaxton   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the 31 March 1985, 35 year old Linda Moser and her two daughters 14 year old Donna and 10 year old Joanne left a church service to meet their father and her ex-husband Leon Moser so he could spend time with Donna and Joanne that afternoon. Instead of planning a nice afternoon with his daughters, Moser took a rifle from his car and shot 10 year old Joanne, his ex-wife Linda and his 14 year old daughter Donna. A man with a history of abuse who blamed Linda and her family for his misfortune, Moser was killed by lethal injection in August 1995.  This is the story of the Moser Family.  Information and support  Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline    References  The Nation - News from April 1, 1985 - Los Angeles Times Killer of His Ex-Wife and 2 Daughters Is Executed - The New York Times Leon Moser - WikipediaPA.

In April 2007 Ciara Dunne and her two children 4 year old Lean and 3 year old Shania were killed by husband and father Adrian Dunne. He then took his own life. Having prepared their wills and visited Funeral Directors in the weeks before the murders, it has been said that Adrian and Ciara planned the murders together before Adrian carried them out.

In March 1974 39 year old Pamela Panes and her three children Graham aged 7, Angela aged 6 and Adrian aged 4 were killed by husband and father Roger Panes in Hampshire in the UK. Roger then took his own life.  The Panes family belonged to the Plymouth Brethren religion. Before the murders, Roger had been forcibly “shut up” — or shunned from the religious community he’d grown up in. His own wife and children were instructed to shun him as well. That isolation pushed Roger into a downward spiral: first an attempt on his own life, then the decision to murder his whole family.  A family were taken, and the community were left with questions about the role of religion in their murders. This is the story of the Panes family. Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References These Plymouth Brethren members stepped out of line, then the threats and intimidation started - ABC News Roger Panes - Wikipedia Roger Panes | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers Roger Pane-The Heartbreak Killer – True Crime Weekly Plymouth Brethren: Inside Britain’s most secretive Christian group BBC Panorama Programme https://youtu.be/-epTck_9uD8  Roger Panes — Death by Heartbreak | by Lolly True crime | MediumCredits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by Clare LaxtonPart of W!ZARD Studios @wizradioMusic from Pixabay See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In June 1994 Im Pun (Sylvia) Zakrzewski and her two children Edward and Anna were brutally killed by husband and father Edward Zakrzewski. Sylvia was planning on leaving Zakrzewski. As soon as he found that out – he planned the murders.  Nearly 30 years after he killed his whole family, on 31 July this year, Zakrzewski was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection. His execution set the state’s record for the highest number of annual executions that year so far – totalling nine at that point. A brutal man, who killed his family brutally, died brutally this year.  This is the story of the Zakrezweski Family. Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References Zakrzewski v.

On Christmas Day in 1929 37 year old Fannie Manring and six of her seven children – Marie, Carrie, Maybell, James, Raymond and Mary-Lou were killed by husband and father Charles Lawson in North Carolina. Her eldest child Arthur was spared.  In a seemingly premeditated familicide Charles took his family to have a family portrait taken the day before he killed them all – apart from his son Arthur. He then took his own life.  With speculation about motives ranging from a head injury to incest and child abuse, this familicide remains one of the most infamous murders in American history.  This is the story of the Lawson Family.

 In November 1983, in the town of Bloomington, Illinois, 30-year-old Susan Hendricks and her three children — 9-year-old Rebekah, 7-year-old Grace, and 5-year-old Benjamin — were found brutally murdered in their family home. Their husband and father, David Hendricks, was away on a business trip at the time. But when calls home went unanswered, he rushed back — only to find his entire family gone. Very quickly, suspicion turned toward him. The successful businessman, the devout family man — now the prime suspect. In 1984, David Hendricks was convicted of killing his wife and children. But seven years later  his conviction was overturned. He walked free in 1991 — and has never been charged again. The murder of The Hendricks Family remains officially unsolved but was it – after all – their husband and father who killed his whole family and who got away with murder? This is the story of the Hendricks Family. Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References Reasonable Doubt: A Shocking Story of Lust and Murder in the American Heartland: Amazon.co.uk: Vogel, Steve: 9781543928679: Books MURDERED: The Hendricks Family | Crime Junkie Podcast People v.

In the early hours of June 20, 1994, police in Dunedin, on New Zealand’s South Island, responded to a horrifying call - a family had been murdered.Inside the Bain home, officers discovered a scene of devastation: 58-year-old Robin Bain, his wife Margaret, 50, and their children Arawa, 19, Laniet, 18, and Stephen, 14 had all been shot dead. Only one member of the family was still alive. Their eldest son, 22-year-old David Bain, was found inside the house after calling police himself. At first glance, it looked like his father Robin had murdered the family before taking his own life. On a computer nearby, a chilling message was left behind: “Sorry, you are the only one who deserved to stay.” But just days later, the story twisted. David was arrested and charged with the murders of his own family. He would spend 13 years in prison before being acquitted in 2009. With no one currently serving time for the murders of a whole family – was it David who killed his parents and siblings or his father Robin who killed his family and spared David? This is the story of the Bain Family. Information and support  Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline      References  The Bain murders 30 years on: Where is David?

On 10 August 1996 22 year old Liana Duke and her 5 year old son Erik died in an apparent accidental fall off a cliff near Green River in Wyoming. Their deaths were ruled accidental and husband and father Robert Bob Duke walked away not only a widower but also the beneficiary of his wife’s life insurance. For two years, that’s where the story ended. Until Bob’s childhood friend, Roger Brauburger, finally cracked. He told police that Bob had asked him to kill Liana and Erik back in 1996 — and now was pressuring him to murder Bob’s own parents too. That confession blew the case wide open. Bob was arrested, tried, and convicted — not just for plotting against his parents, but for the murders of his wife and child. He remains in prison to this day.  This is the story of Liana and Erik Duke.

In May 2002, 24-year-old Evelyn Hernandez vanished from San Francisco along with her 5-year-old son, Alex. Evelyn was eight and a half months pregnant — just weeks away from giving birth to a much wanted baby boy. Two months later, Evelyn’s body was pulled from the San Francisco Bay. Her unborn baby was gone. Alex was gone. Neither has ever been found. Seven months later, in the same city, Laci and Connor Peterson disappeared — a case that would dominate headlines around the world. But Evelyn and Alex’s story was pushed to the shadows. Forgotten by many.  Her case remains unsolved and although her boyfriend was interviewed by police, questions about who killed Evelyn and where Alex and her baby are, remain to this day.  This is the story of Evelyn and Alex Hernandez.

On 12 November 1976, 36-year-old Renee MacRae and her 3-year-old son Andrew vanished near Inverness. That night, her BMW was found burning in a layby on the A9. Blood in the car pointed to murder — but no bodies were ever found. For over 40 years, it was one of the UK’s most haunting cold cases.Then, in 2019, police arrested William MacDowell — Renee’s secret lover and Andrew’s biological father. In 2022, he was found guilty of murdering them both. He died five months into his sentence, taking the truth of what he did and where Renee and Andrew were - with him. This is part two of the story of Renee and Andrew MacRae. Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References www.wizardradio.com Murder Trial - A Dangerous Affair: Part 1 - BBC iPlayer Inside Murder Trial - A Deadly Affair - Introducing...
