Episode 87 - Cheryl Baker, Nadja and Payton Medley
In June 2017 the bodies of Cheryl Baker, Nadja Medley and her daughter Payton Medley were discovered at a property in Caldwell, Idaho. They had all been shot and killed.   Cheryl’s husband, pilot Gerald Mike Bullinger, who was also Nadja’s boyfriend, was no where to be seen. A prime suspect in the murders of his wife, girlfriend and her daughter, Bullinger had a 10 day headstart on police as they launched an intense search for him. Having found his abandoned car at Pacific Creek Campground in the Bridger‑Teton National Forest in Wyoming, Bullinger has never been found and remains a wanted fugitive to this day. A man whose lies were unravelled and who murdered three women in response.   This is the story of Cheryl Baker and Nadja and Payton Medley.   Information and support  Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline     References   Three years after Caldwell triple homicide, relative and sheriff share new details   WANTED: Michael Bullinger | Crime Junkie Podcast   Case 251: The Caldwell Farmhouse Murders - Casefile True Crime   Idaho Murder Suspect Mike Bullinger Still Missing 8 Years Later   Police search for man after three dead bodies discovered on his property | CNN   Triple homicide investigation continues 2 years later   Pilot Likely Killed Wife, Girlfriend After Double Life Was Exposed: Sheriff   Married Murder Suspect Charmed Single Mom — Then Confrontation with Wife Led to Triple Slayings   Friends remember Ogden teacher Cheryl Baker as an ‘artistic, kind, gentle woman’ | News, Sports, Jobs - Standard-Examiner   Credits   Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by Clare Laxton  Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio  Music from Pixabay     See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 84 - The Panes Family
In March 1974 39 year old Pamela Panes and her three children Graham aged 7, Angela aged 6 and Adrian aged 4 were killed by husband and father Roger Panes in Hampshire in the UK. Roger then took his own life.   The Panes family belonged to the Plymouth Brethren religion. Before the murders, Roger had been forcibly “shut up” — or shunned from the religious community he’d grown up in. His own wife and children were instructed to shun him as well. That isolation pushed Roger into a downward spiral: first an attempt on his own life, then the decision to murder his whole family.   A family were taken, and the community were left with questions about the role of religion in their murders. This is the story of the Panes family.   Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA ·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid ·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America ·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline   References These Plymouth Brethren members stepped out of line, then the threats and intimidation started - ABC News   Roger Panes - Wikipedia   Roger Panes | Murderpedia, the encyclopedia of murderers   Roger Pane-The Heartbreak Killer – True Crime Weekly   Plymouth Brethren: Inside Britain’s most secretive Christian group   BBC Panorama Programme https://youtu.be/-epTck_9uD8   Roger Panes — Death by Heartbreak | by Lolly True crime | Medium Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by Clare Laxton Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio Music from Pixabay   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 83 - The Zakrezweski Family
In June 1994 Im Pun (Sylvia) Zakrzewski and her two children Edward and Anna were brutally killed by husband and father Edward Zakrzewski. Sylvia was planning on leaving Zakrzewski. As soon as he found that out – he planned the murders.   Nearly 30 years after he killed his whole family, on 31 July this year, Zakrzewski was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection. His execution set the state’s record for the highest number of annual executions that year so far – totalling nine at that point.   A brutal man, who killed his family brutally, died brutally this year.   This is the story of the Zakrezweski Family.   Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA ·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid ·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America ·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline   References Zakrzewski v.
