Mums Mysteries & Murder
Marti & Effie
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.

Part 2 of our 2nd Birthday Episode and it's the horrific end of the Ivan Milat - Backpacker Murderer case - Australia's most famous serial killer.

Mums Mysteries & Murder
07/25/21 • 3 min
Hey there, we're excited you've found us and welcome to our podcast.
We're just 2 women who love true crime and are fascinated by unsolved mysteries!
But before we go any further let us introduce ourselves. We're Marti from Australia and Effie from Scotland and together we're going to be taking a deep dive, or as much research as we can muster anyway into true crimes that fascinate and frighten us from our respective countries. Although there may be some crossovers here and there.
We can't promise it will be detail perfect but we can promise ( hopefully ) that it will be interesting and a little bit fun!
So join us, just two mums talking about murder, mysteries and probably even some motherhood. If you are obsessed by true crime like we are please subscribe to our podcast and share with your true crime obsessed friends.
Oh, you can also catch us on Instagram over at Mums mysteries and murder - we would love to hear from you and we would love your suggestions for stories you would like us to cover.
