REDRUM true crime

The Man Who Killed 19 People… and Got Away With It.

This is a re-mastered release of an episode from back in 2025.

Sammy "the Bull" Gravano was the right-hand man to John Gotti, the so-called Teflon Don, and a made man who admitted to taking part in 19 murders.
Then, in 1991, he did the unthinkable: he turned informant. His testimony brought down Gotti and the leadership of the Gambino crime family, shattering the code of omertà that had protected the Mafia for generations.
In return, Sammy Gravano walked away with just 5 years behind bars and a new life in witness protection. But a man who breaks the ultimate rule doesn't stay hidden forever. Years later, he resurfaced, and the past he thought he'd left behind came roaring back. What happened when Sammy the Bull ran out of places to hide? And did he ever really change?

It's just before midnight in Walthamstow, East London, and a group of neighbours are standing at a front door.

They've heard arguing. They've seen it spill out onto the communal green. So they ring the doorbell, and they ask again and again, “Are you okay? Do you need help?”

The woman thanks them. Tells them she's fine, and so the group then go home.

At 3am however, it starts again. This time, a neighbour presses record on their phone and dials 999. And inside the flat, the woman at the centre of it is holding up a phone of her own. Alana Odysseos is filming too. But within the hour, that recordinge would be gone. The phone thrown down a drain, by the man who walked out of that flat and into a café, covered in blood.

In 2015, Food Network Star contestant Cristie Schoen Codd and her husband JT Codd vanished from their North Carolina farmhouse - and the truth behind their disappearance turned out to be so unhinged and incomprehensible, it was difficult for the families and wider community to wrap their heads around.
This episode covers the full story: Cristie's journey from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to Hollywood movie sets and reality TV, her romance and marriage to husband JT, and the chilling investigation that followed their disappearance in March 2015. We break down how a "friendly neighbor," contractor Robert Jason Owens, became the prime suspect, the shocking discovery in his wood stove, and his eerie connection to another unsolved cold case... the 2000 disappearance of Zebb Quinn. This is a true crime analysis of the murder, deception, and a small-town mystery that shook the film and TV industry.

Today we’re taking a look back at some of the most tragic cases of people who have been killed by someone they trusted.
Our first case takes us to Northamptonshire where for months, primary school teacher Fiona Beal told everyone her partner of 17 years had run off with another woman … but that lie would come unraveled in a way that no one expected.
Then we’re going to Wilmslow, Cheshire where Detective Constable Leanne McKie spent her career protecting victims - until the morning she confronted her own husband, a fellow police officer, over a forged loan, and never left their house alive.
Then we’re heading overseas to the US, and jumping back to march 2020 where, as the world locked down, one man convinced himself the end times had arrived, and when his estranged wife 3.
Gretchen Anthony refused to run away with him, he made sure she'd never get the chance to change her mind.And finally. We’re going to end today back in the UK, in Nuneaton, with the horrific murder of Megan Newborough. She drove to her work colleague’s house for a date after weeks of flirty messages - an hour later, that colleague she trusted made one horrific decision after the next.

A Sunday bbq. A loving family settling in for the night. By morning, 4 people are dead... 3 generations of one household wiped out in a matter of hours.
This week on REDRUM, we dig into the Bermondsey Murders: the case of Joshua Jacques, a man who told police he was making a "sacrifice," and the family who never saw it coming. We trace the final hours through phone records, a frantic call from a neighbour, and the chilling texts that read "he's calm now", sent just hours before everything fell apart.
Was this a mental breakdown, or something far more calculated?
