Mums Mysteries & Murder

Marti & Cheryl

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 - Cheryl 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.

Halloween Special Part 4 with Ishbel Benzie
This week, we welcome Ishbel Benzie, a physiotherapist turned transformational coach, to chat about the world of science and spiritual healing and whether they really need to be kept in separate corners. There's also a lot of "witchy talk!" Ishbel shares how Reiki, hypnosis, and past-life work became part of her practice, and talks about heart healing, creating a sense of safety, and helping people work through what they’ve been carrying. We also get into ancestral trauma and the idea that some patterns might echo across generations. Big topic for a chat that starts with “so, tell us about your work”! Then there’s the witch wound: fear of being seen, speaking up, or trusting your own gifts. Ishbel shares a striking story about a tree she connects with a past-life memory, and we talk about witch trials, women’s healing knowledge, and how history might still shape our relationship with intuition. Expect plenty of curiosity, a little spooky-season energy, and a lively debate about science versus gut instinct. To find out more about Ishbel's work please head to: https://www.dragonflys.co.uk And check out Ishbel on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/_ishbelbenzie/ And have a chat with her over on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ishbel.a.benzie Theme Music Vampire Strut by Joybean @AudioJungle Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mumsmysteriesandmurder/ You can also support the pod and buy us a coffee at https://ko-fi.com/mumsmysteriesandmurder And we would love it if you could give us a cheeky review & subscribe to make sure you don't miss an episode.

Halloween Special Part 2 with Scotland's Shanty Queen Joss Cameron
In our second Halloween special, we talk to Joss Camerson - also known as the Sea Shanty Queen about the origins of sea shanties, whether Robson Green is actually a dick in real life and her stint on Neighbours! But it wouldn't be a Halloween special without some creepiness, so we also talk about Spirit Guides, a Banshee story that left us both pretty much speechless and Joss's first book called The Callbearers.

If you're not in the right place to listen to this episode, please give this one a miss. In this episode, Cheryl tells the sad story of the murder of Margaret Fleming in the village of Inverkip in Scotland. Margaret was just 19 years old and a vulnerable adult in need of support when she was last seen publicly in December 1999, her body has never been found.

The Westfield Shopping Centre Murders - Joel Cauchi
In this episode, Marti takes us to Australia and the devastating 2024 Bondi Junction shopping centre attack. We look at the story of Joel Cauchi, the 40-year-old man who killed six people and injured ten others in just a matter of minutes, and the questions that followed about his deteriorating mental health, missed opportunities for intervention and why the majority of his victims were women. We also head down the very dark rabbit hole of incel culture — where it came from, how online communities became increasingly misogynistic, and the violence that has been linked to the ideology. Was Cauchi's attack connected to misogyny or incel ideology, or was this the devastating result of severe mental illness and a system that failed to intervene?

The Marree Man | Australia's Giant Desert Geoglyph, Our 5th Birthday Episode & A Big Announcement
There's a lot going on in this episode so strap yourself in! Today - if you're listening on the day this drops we're celebrating five years of Mums Mysteries & Murder... with our 70th episode and we've got a big announcement! Before we get into the mystery, we're sharing some exciting news about the future of the podcast! Then we're heading deep into the Australian Outback to investigate one of Australia's strangest unsolved mysteries: The Marree Man. Stretching over 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) across a remote desert plateau, this enormous geoglyph appeared without warning in 1998. Visible only from the air! How was something this enormous carved into one of the most isolated parts of Australia without anyone noticing? Was it an elaborate art project? A military prank? The work of an eccentric artist? Or is there another explanation entirely? Sources for this episode are: The Australian Times Australia's Dessert Enigma - discovery.com In this episode, we also chat about what we were doing in 1998, more cruise chat, aliens and crop circles and Cheryl drops a surprising story about her past!

The First Modern Murder - The Jigsaw Murders
Trigger warning: dismemberment is mentioned in this episode In 1935, in the town of Moffat, a young woman was out on a walk with her Mother and noticed a bundle wrapped in cloth, which on first glance looked like nothing much, but on further investigation, there were over 70 different body parts wrapped in cloth and newspaper scattered all around the area. Many historians describe it as one of the first truly modern forensic investigations. We also talk about what were watching - SO MUCH! The problem with changing your name to something difficult to pronounce & many, many penpal stories.

The Mysterious Deaths of Dr Bogle & Mrs Chandler
* This episode has a few audio issues, but we know you dont listen to MM&M for perfection so we know you'll love it regardless. This is down to the fact probably that it was not edited by our beloved editor Erin. Early on the morning of New Year's Day in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood in 1963 2 young boys out looking for golf balls got more than they bargained for when they discovered the half-naked body of a man partially covered by his clothes which had been thrown over the top of him alongside a square of carpet beside a river in a secluded tree-lined area. At first, the boys thought he was a drunk party leftover from New Year's, but soon discovered things were slightly more sinister. We bet you'll never guess whodunit! This is a particularly intriguing, very well-known case in Australia with some very interesting characters. Sources: Mamamia article The 2006 documentary - Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?

This story takes us all the way back to 1797 and includes no less than 900 rabbits and the selling of the famous St Andrews Golf Course. Trigger warning - Rabbits will get hurt in this episode You might have guessed, but this is a slightly lighter episode than our recent episodes. In the words of Cheryl "It's Downton Abbey with significantly more rabbits!" We also talk about what makes a great true crime podcast. We'd also love to hear your thoughts on this, if you'd like to let us know what you look for. And, we chat childhood traumas! And of course, there's also a lot of golf talk.

Tam runs the Instagram account True Crime Bookcase - If you love reading about True Crime, you need to start following her - we've gotten so many brilliant recommendations from her, and she will give you the honest truth - especially when it comes to Erin. Go follow Tam at https://www.instagram.com/truecrimebookcase/ This is a fascinating episode that gives real and genuine insight into what it's like to sit inside a highly publicised trial and get the real story from someone who was there, and is happy to answer all of our questions.. We also talk about the true crime genre and how it's changed over the last ten years, ethics and Tik Tok, Australian cases Tam is obsessed with, true crime books that are totally overrated, and the plethora of Ted Bundy books out now.
