    Here at I Could Murder A Podcast we like to fixate on the big details... Was PJK a Casanova or a Catfish?

    Loving the podcast! There’s so many true crime pods out there that cover big killers so I’m glad you’re looking for some less well known killers to cover. Would be great to learn about some serial killers from outside the US! Maybe some from the UK or Europe as I’ve never came across anyone who discusses killers from other regions. Keep up the good work and I’m already looking forward to next weeks episode.

    You should cover Levi Bellfield - I lived in Surrey and was a teenager when these murders took place, remember being scared as a teenage girl walking home from the school bus stop because of these attacks.

    • @ICouldMurderAPodcast

      I agree, it looks like he was responsible for the Russell family murders that Michael Stone was convicted for as well. There was a two part documentary and the second part that clearly implicates Bellfield has been removed from the internet for some reason.

      He was one the worst ever. Truly evil. He murdered Milly Dowler as well. So distressing.

    • @sPoNdOoLa
      @sPoNdOoLa Před 3 lety +5

      I lived near Twickenham at the time and got the bus past the common where he killed the French girl. Terrible. He ran another girl over twice and she survived by some miracle - her 999 call is horrifying. She went on to testify against him as I remember. Brave girl.

    Another solid show. Our friend, the killer, might not have murdered young boys not only for (as you suggested) seeing himself in them, but also from the reforming home he was in - the thought or sight of another young boy being tortured could turn his stomach, be too nostalgic.
    Also, A+ for the hole-in-the-foot comedy clips. That just secured my girlfriend as a fan of the show too!

I see big things ahead for your channel. 🙂 Keep it up!

    Hi, great work again! And a very late response, I'm backtracking through and 'binging' your series at the moment you'll be pleased to hear. Excellent podcast!
    In answer to your question at the start, I think that whilst it's potentially more difficult for serial killers to find strangers to kill, the unfortunate fact of a global pandemic is that some people are shut at home with people who are abusive or may develop a form of psychosis made worse by the pandemic, fear and confusion. I think that due to this and 'cabin fever' there has probably been a bit more of a spike in killings or attempted killings of those who know each other personally.
    Bad time to be a indiscriminate stranger-on-stranger serial killer, probably an excellent time for people who might choose to kill friends or relatives, especially given all the delays in sentencing, court dates, and the police being pretty much overwhelmed!
    I feel that in the future, you guys may well be covering a number of murders/crimes that happened during the pandemic, which is terrifying, but at the same time I'm sure you'll lay out the facts in an enjoyable/funny podcast... just don't kill each other, please guys.
