It takes a lot to shock investigators, but a murder committed in the exact ten minutes it took for a maid to step out for a newspaper is what did it in this case. No break-in. No clear murder weapon. And an elderly woman beaten with a level of violence that made absolutely no sense for a simple robbery. This is the case of Marion Gilchrist — a brutal crime, a botched investigation, and one of the most shocking wrongful convictions in Scottish history.

In this episode, we delve into the chilling murder of Marion Gilchrist and the subsequent wrongful conviction of Oscar Slater. We explore the flawed investigation, the flimsy evidence, and the public outcry that eventually led to Slater's exoneration after nearly two decades in prison. We also discuss the role of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, in the fight for justice.

Join us as we unravel a story of injustice, perseverance, and a murder that remains unsolved to this day.

In this episode we dive into five of the strangest and most unforgettable confessions in criminal history. While confessions can bring closure to grieving families, they are not always what they seem. We explore the astonishing statistics behind false confessions and how they can mislead justice.
