Ep. 059 | The Murder of Grace Millane

Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a 22-year-old British tourist on a gap‑year trip in New Zealand, disappeared on the evening of December 1, 2018, after she left a Tinder date in Auckland—her body was discovered in a suitcase a day later in the Waitākere Ranges

The man she met, Jesse Shane Kempson (26 at the time), was arrested on December 8 and later convicted in November 2019 of murdering her by strangulation; he claimed it was consensual “rough sex” that accidentally caused her death—a defense widely condemned as victim-blaming.

  • Kempson received life imprisonment with a minimum of 17 years before parole, his appeal was dismissed in December 2020, and the case continues to spark discussion around violence against women and the problematic “rough sex” defense.

    Diamond (3) and Tionda (10) Bradley disappeared from their Chicago home in 2001, and to this day, we still have no answers to what happened to them. The family hints that they believe someone close to them knows more than they're saying, so is it possible the person responsible has been hiding in plain sight for 23 years?

    [Part 2 of the Murder of Sarah Everard] After the murder of 33-year-old Sarah Everard by active London Metropolitan Police Officer Wayne Couzens, the Met tried to quell the public fear and outrage by painting Couzens as just one bad apple in their force.

    Ep. 003 | The Sodder Children Mystery

    On Christmas Eve, 1945, George and Jenny Sodder watched their home burn entirely to the ground, presumably with five of their 10 children still inside. Officials ruled that Maurice, Martha, Louis, Jennie, and Betty, who were supposed to be asleep on the third floor, died in the fire, yet not a single bone fragment was found in the rubble. The Sodders found this unbelievable, as the fire did not burn nearly as long or as hot as a cremation chamber, which still leaves bone fragments behind. So did the children really perish in the fire, or as the Sodder family believed, were they kidnapped from the home before it began?  Well, this is A Trial by Podcast, so we’ll let you be the judge.
