EP001: Parker-Hulme Case

In our debut episode of "The Spark That Lit the Flame," we explore the chilling true crime story of Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, two teenage girls whose intense friendship in 1950s New Zealand spiraled into a shocking murder. Through diary entries, psychological insights, and historical context, we uncover the complex factors that led to this tragic event. Join host Ria as she delves into themes of trauma bonding, shared delusions, and societal pressures, and draws parallels to today’s world of social media echo chambers. A gripping, thought-provoking start to our journey into the sparks that ignite extraordinary crimes and cults.
