Mums Mysteries & Murder

Marti & Effie

Star filled black icon

(2)

We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Effie Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.

* Warning *
In this episode, we talk about school shootings in Dunblane Scotland and in the US, we also talk about violence against young children and gun laws.
If this episode is not for you, please give this episode a miss.
The sound is not fantastic on this episode, we were having a few issues with Effie's microphone, so please bear with us.
We were lucky enough to meet N Leigh Hunt at Crimecon in Glasgow and he had a huge effect on us both, so we felt so honoured when he agreed to come on the podcast and talk about his book "I dont like Mondays" and school shootings.
N Leigh Hunt is a South African-born author, crime historian and broadcaster. He is a member of the American Society of Criminology and considered an expert on California school shootings. He graciously received the High Commended award for Best New Author at the Inaugural True Crime Awards in 2023. He was recently a speaker at Crime Con in Glasgow - where he must us!

His book - ‘I Don’t Like Monday’s - The True Story Behind America's First Modern School Shooting’ took years of interviews and research to accurately record the horrifying event. The information collected in his book had never been published previously. He graciously received the High Commended award for Best New Author at the Inaugural True Crime Awards in 2023

He is currently a director of a radio station and produces shows and podcasts in the Midlands, UK. He lives with his wife in Olney, Bucks but still thinks of San Diego as his hometown.

He is currently working on the Cokeville Wyoming school crisis, the crimes of Craig C Price (the youngest serial killer convicted in the USA) and the possible wrongful conviction of Amanda Lewis in Esto, Florida.
It is such a fascinating conversation about not only school shootings but so many other tough conversations around gun laws, Bob Geldof, speaking to school shooters in prison, the FBI and MAFS! Bet you didn't expect that one!
Think of it as our 3rd Birthday gift to you!
Thanks for listening.
You can buy the Book I Dont Like Mondays
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Like-Mondays-Americas-Shooting/dp/B0BYTDGRYR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3E62FBZAFC8P2&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4nwuqx3F43wY8lMZmesqFKmml4eC4ZCLiGmvCnxJeN1B0DywEKX8tYlEtDhsbofUi1lQPrj2-SlI_ndRNIL9d4k0G2x9QU5EbpDnI4GnyQ8BU1U5anQ4026-WlGHJTxM7z_405H_jD4qG3hGrc8Edyf23vSSQ-UnN69wEkhVJc5sk48dqUd9SZ3WFhiOMx4epLUHpeI7l4l1t1B8WyLNkiiypxfBsbYyVNEs2gGcoLg.eZ9381mQ6gu2VJn4HVFMQm4YXhsLrhU0bwioCD5RpJM&dib_tag=se&keywords=i+don%27t+like+mondays&qid=1723733359&sprefix=i+dont+like+mondays+%2Caps%2C198&sr=8-1

Warning - this episode does contain issues around paedophilia, child murder and abuse

It's the second episode in our 1st Birthday edition and this time it's Marti's turn to tell the story that she has been obsessed by for so many years!
JonBenet Ramsey is such a well-known case Im sure you've all heard so much about this case, seen the images of the little girl with a face full of make-up dressed up in various pageant outfits and you probably have a pretty good opinion of who you think did it. But have you heard the full story?
