Welcome to episode 103, in which Ben tells the story of the 1966 University of Texas tower mass shooting. Hear about the perpetrator, Charles Whitman, the lead up to the shocking incident, how it unfolded, and the heroic actions of those who helped put an end to his deadly actions. In a final twist, something discovered after Whitman's death may possibly have explained why he did it...
And to finish things off - coincidentally - Claire also heads back to 1960s America to discuss a crime that was inspired by a Hollywood movie and led to one of the longest manhunts in US history. It was only a deathbed confession that revealed the truth after half a century.

Welcome to episode 102, in which Claire takes another journey back to the early days of Tasmania and tells the story of ex-convict turned serial killer John Haley.

And the account of his botched execution is nearly as horrible as the acts he committed to earn his spot on the gallows.
Then Ben finishes things off with a countdown of the longest and shortest jail sentences ever delivered around the world, and the reasons behind them.
