Island Crime

Happy Hogmanay to all my Island Crime listeners. (My father was Glaswegian & he loved New Year's) I'm updating Ian Indridson's series shortly and am now working on Season 9. So grateful to everyone who listens and supports the show. Here's to keeping the devil in his hole in 2026.

This is lovely news to wake up to. (especially on a morning where the real world news is particularly grim) 🙏 Amazon Music !

Happy Christmas to all my Island Crime listeners 🎄
I’ll confess. I’m a bit of a Christmas nerd. Somewhere along the way, I realized that Christmas has quietly slipped into every season of the show. It’s a beautiful time of year… and for many, a tough one too. If you’re carrying grief alongside the twinkle lights, know you’re not alone. So whether your Christmas is bright or a little blue, I hope the echoes of Christmases past bring you comfort& a bit of joy this year. (This is this year's tree from Whiskey Creek-with Bear & Smudge!)

Another win for Forensic Genetic Genealogy and the Toronto police.

Would love to see more cases from the West Coast putting this incredible technology to use.

'The perfect weapon' -an expert on homicide by 'hotshot' helped inform the latest episode of Bree Gamble's story.

It's so troubling to contemplate how a vibrant live wire of a woman like Bree was murdered. Please take care of yourself if you are one of the many who loved Bree. This episode will be tough to take in.

'Soul Mate' -the latest chapter in Bree's story is out today.
*Warning: this episode contains conversations about intimate partner violence. Please take care while listening.

Bree loved Darren. But according to multiple independent sources, their relationship was toxic. Bree confided to friends that she had been abused. I was unable to reach Darren to hear his perspective. And the allegations have never been tested in court. No one has ever been charged with Bree's murder.

'Chicas' -episode 4 of Bree's story is out now. As much as the series is about her unsolved murder, it is also a story about friendship. Bree was the kind of friend who encouraged you to go skinny dipping, to stay up late dancing around the campfire. It's no wonder she is so deeply missed by so many. Listen to 'Chicas' here:

The latest episode of Bree Gamble's story is out. She has been gone for almost 5 years now, but those who loved Bree are stuck in the spring of 2021 when she was murdered. It's not too late to find justice for Bree and her family. Hoping the podcast puts her case back on the front burner. 🙏
