REDRUM true crime

In October 2013, Colleen Ritzer, a beloved 24 year old maths teacher at Danvers High School in Massachusetts, was murdered by one of her own students, 14 year old Philip Chism. This episode covers the Colleen Ritzer case from start to finish: her life and passion for teaching, the day she disappeared, the discovery of her body in the woods behind the school, and the manhunt that ended with Phillip's arrest. We also examine how a quiet, newly arrived freshman became the center of one of the most shocking school-related murder cases in recent American history.

We then go inside the Danvers teacher murder trial including the evidence, the insanity defence, and the jury’s verdict, along with the lasting questions about juvenile sentencing, school safety, and justice for Colleen Ritzer.

In August 2010, Gemma Hayter, a young woman with learning disabilities, was found dead on a disused railway line in Rugby, Warwickshire. She had been tortured and killed by people she believed were her friends. This week on REDRUM, Grace tells the story of the Gemma Hayter murder: who she was, how “mate crime” put her in danger, and the CCTV footage that captured her being led away. We also cover the 2011 trial, where Chantelle Booth, Daniel Newstead and Joe Boyer were jailed for life and the judge described the case as a “chronicle of heartlessness.”
Gemma’s death led to a Serious Case Review, which found that opportunities to protect her were missed. Her mother, Sue Prince, has spent years speaking out about disability hate crime and pushing for answers. If you want the full story of the Rugby railway murder, or want to understand how mate crime targets vulnerable people, this episode covers the case from start to finish.

At 9:15am on the 21st of October 1966, a colliery spoil tip above the Welsh village of Aberfan, collapsed and slid down the mountainside. It engulfed Pantglas Junior School and a row of nearby houses. 144 people were killed, 116 of them children, most between the ages of 7 and 10. The warning signs had been raised for years, and the inquiry that followed found the National Coal Board responsible for a disaster that never should have happened. Yet no one was prosecuted, and no one lost their job. On the 21st of October 2026, Aberfan marked 60 years since that morning, and we’re re-releasing this episode to mark the anniversary. We want to remember the children and adults who were lost, and to look again at the failures that led to the tragedy and the community that has carried its grief ever since.

In September 1978, 15. year old Mary Vincent accepted a ride while hitchhiking south through California - a decision that would end with her fighting for her life at the bottom of a ravine. What followed was an act of survival so extraordinary it helped put her attacker behind bars within days. But 14 years was never going to be enough.
This episode traces the story of Lawrence Singleton: the attack that should have ended everything, the trial that briefly delivered justice, a release that sparked riots in the streets, and the chilling way his story didn't end there. Because almost 10 years later, Mary would find herself back in a courtroom - only this time, it wasn't her case on trial.

Sade Robinson was 19, working two jobs and in her final semester at Milwaukee Area Technical College, studying criminal justice. On the 1st of April 2024, she went on a first date in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By the next evening, a human leg had been found on the shore of Lake Michigan at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, and over the following weeks more of her remains would surface across two states. In this episode of REDRUM, we cover the murder of Sade Robinson: who she was, the night she was last heard from, the discovery that shocked Milwaukee, and the investigation that followed. We look at the man she was last seen wtih that night, Maxwell Anderson, and at what police found when they searched his home.
