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.

In July 2013, 53-year-old Marie-Josée Benitez and her 19-year-old daughter Allison vanished without a trace from their home in Southern France. The last person to see them alive was Francisco Benitez — Marie-Josée’s estranged husband and Allison’s father. He claimed they’d left for a trip to Toulouse. They never came back.  What followed was a chilling chain of revelations. Francisco was already linked to the disappearance of another woman in 2004. Just weeks after his wife and daughter vanished, he took his own life. Then, investigators discovered traces of Allison’s blood in a freezer at the military barracks where Francisco worked.  Marie-Josée and Allison were never found. But the evidence pointed to one clear theory – that they had been killed by father and estranged husband Francisco.   This is the story of Allison and Marie-Josee Benitez.  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  MISSING: Allison and Marie-Josee Benitez | Crime Junkie Podcast  Allison and Marie-José Benitez: What Happened to Missing Mom & Daughter?  A missing beauty queen's father with a dark past  Disappearance of Allison and Marie-Josee Benitez: Crime Junkie investigates suspicious behavior of Francisco Benitez  Special Envoy: "The Benitez Affair, the Legionnaire's Enigma"  The father's freezer at the center of all attention - Disparues de Perpignan  Disappeared from Perpignan: Benitez took his freezer to the Legion  France gripped by disappearance of missing beauty queen and her mother following suicide of former legionnaire father | The Independent | The Independent  Chief Warrant Officer Benitez left a bloody trail - Bluestar Forensic  Credits  Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by: Clare Laxton   Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com) Music from Pixabay.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textIn July 2010, just days after returning from a family holiday, 31-year-old Vicki Case and her two baby daughters — 2-year-old Phoebe and 1-year-old Nereya — were brutally murdered in their own home. The man who killed them was the person who should have loved and protected them the most: husband and father, Andrew Case. After taking their lives, Case then took his own life. He left behind devastation and unanswered questions. While reports suggested he was under financial pressure, the police struggled to comprehend what could drive a man to kill his entire family. In a never heard before twist, some sections of the media sought to excuse his actions — attributing the murders to an anti-smoking medication Case was taking, as though anything could justify the deliberate, calculated killing of his wife and children.  This is the story of the Case 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 Fordingbridge father 'killed wife and two daughters' - BBC News Funeral for mother and daughters 'killed by suicidal father' | London Evening Standard | The Standard Father who murdered his family 'was quitting smoking and on medication that caused depression' | Daily Mail Online Hampshire Family 'Killer' Had Debt Worries | Scoop News | Sky NewsTributes paid to 'popular' family - BBC News Father Andrew Case who murdered wife and daughters before hanging himself 'had money worries' | Daily Mail Online Tributes paid to 'popular' family - BBC News Man who murdered wife and daughters ‘had money worries’ | London Evening Standard | The Standard Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com)Music from Pixabay. Support the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.

Send us a textIn March 2004, in a quiet suburb of Melbourne, Australia, Anna Kemp and her 20-month-old daughter Gracie were brutally murdered by the very person who should have loved and protected them the most — husband and father, John Sharpe. Armed with a speargun, he shot Anna and Gracie multiple times, killing them in cold blood. Anna was also pregnant with their second child who she had named Francis.  After killing his whole family, Sharpe appeared in the media, tearfully pleading for their return and spinning the lie that Anna had left him, taking Gracie with her. But behind the cameras was a killer, hiding in plain sight. His deception didn’t last and Sharpe was sentenced to 33 years in prison for the calculated, monstrous slaughter of his own family. This is the story of the Kemp 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  Sharpe family murders - Wikipedia Australian News- john myles sharpe The Sharpe Family Murders • Morbidology Our True Crime Podcast: 75.

Cheryl Feeney and her two young children — 6-year-old Tyler and 18-month-old Jennifer — were found savagely murdered in their own home. The crime scene was bizarre, chilling, and left more questions than answers. Husband and father Jon Feeney was away at a teacher’s conference when the murders took place. But it wasn’t long before suspicion fell squarely on him. Despite a trial that captivated the nation and a verdict of not guilty, many remain convinced that Feeney got away with murdering his family. This is the story of the Feeney 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  Ozarks True Crime Season 2: The Feeney Family Murders — Anne Roderique-Jones MURDERED: The Feeney Family | Crime Junkie Podcast The Feeney Family murders: A complete timeline of events Cheryl Lynne Feeney (1959-1995) - Find a Grave Memorial The Feeney Family murders: A complete timeline of events Crime Traveler: The story of Jon Feeney and his family's murder TRUE CRIME Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com)Music from Pixabay. Lore and CrimeLore and Crime is a spine-chilling podcast that unearths historical dark tales.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.

The only survivor was Denise’s partner, 33-year-old Daniel Allen — the man responsible for their murders. Allen was a violent, coercive, and controlling man who forced the family to live under different names, isolated them from the outside world, and moved them from place to place to maintain his grip on them. His campaign of terror ended in a deliberate act of unspeakable violence. Today, Allen is serving a 29-year life sentence — one of the longest ever handed down in Northern Ireland — for the brutal, calculated murder of an entire family. This is the story of the Gossett 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 Derrylin fire: 'Strange' story of Daniel Allen who killed family - BBC News Man jailed for 29 years over house fire that killed three generations of same family Man who killed three generations of family has ‘disturbing part of make-up’ | The Standard PPS statement following sentencing of Daniel Allen | Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland Derrylin: Children's murders 'could not have been anticipated' - BBC News ‘Horrific and cruel’: Man jailed for deaths of four family members in Fermanagh fire – The Irish Times Court judgement The King v Daniel Sebastian Allen.pdf Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  KLore and CrimeLore and Crime is a spine-chilling podcast that unearths historical dark tales.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.

Send us a textOn the first day of school at Wild Lake High School in Columbia, Maryland in September 2017, beloved social studies teacher Laura Wallen didn’t turn up and had vanished without a trace. Just days later, her body was discovered in a shallow grave — shot dead. Laura was four months pregnant which a wanted child called Reid. The man accused of killing her was her boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, Tyler Tessier. He was arrested for her murder but would never face justice, taking his own life in prison a year later.This is the story of Laura Wallen and Reid.Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       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 Laura Wallen: Pregnant high school teacher was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, Tyler TessierLaura Wallen: How Did She Die?

Send us a textIn January 1993, a house fire tore through the Romand family home in Prévessin-Moëns, near the French-Swiss border. Inside, Florence Romand and her two young children, Antoine and Caroline, were dead. Jean-Claude Romand — husband, father, and apparent survivor — was clinging to life. But what first looked like a devastating accident quickly unravelled into something far darker: the calculated murder of an entire family and the exposure of a man who had spent his life living a lie. Jean-Claude Romand wasn’t just a killer — he was a master deceiver who had faked his career, manipulated those closest to him, and, in a final act of horror, murdered his wife, children, and parents to stop the truth from coming out. He survived, was convicted, and in 2019, after 26 years behind bars, walked free. This is the story of the Romand Family.  Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·       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 Adversary: Amazon.co.uk: Carrere, Emmanuel, Coverdale, Linda: 9780747551898: Books  Jean-Claude Romand | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers Frenchman who killed his entire family after fraudulently posing as a doctor released from jail | Daily Mail Online Jean-Claude Romand: Fake French doctor who killed family is free - BBC News Jean-Claude Romand: The fake doctor turned family annihilator | by Ominous Nights | Medium Deadly fantasist | | The Guardian Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com)Music from Pixabay. Lore and CrimeLore and Crime is a spine-chilling podcast that unearths historical dark tales.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.
