Carrie Slater was 37 years old when she was found with a catastrophic head injury inside a quiet bungalow in the village of Long Clawson.

When her partner, Richard Basson, called 999, he claimed it was an accident… that Carrie had somehow walked into a pool cue during an argument over a cigarette. But within moments of arriving at the scene, police knew something wasn’t right. The injury didn’t match the story, the evidence didn’t line up, and as detectives began to piece together what had really happened inside that house, Richard's version of events began to unravel.

What they would uncover was a far darker reality... one involving an illegal firearm, a history of violence, and a carefully constructed lie that Richard hoped would save him from the consequences of his actions.

In this episode of REDRUM, we examine the final hours of Carrie Slater’s life, the controlling relationship that preceded her death, and the forensic evidence that exposed the truth behind a story so implausible it shocked even experienced investigators. From the chilling 999 call to the courtroom, this is a case raises unsettling questions about coercion, accountability, and how far someone will go to cover up the unthinkable.

On the 17th of June 2019, 23 year old University of Utah student Mackenzie Lueck landed back in Salt Lake City, after attending her grandmother’s funeral.

She texted her mum to say she’d arrived safely… and then, within hours, she vanished . Her final known movements would lead investigators to a dark, empty park at 3am... and into a case that quickly spiralled into something far more disturbing than anyone first imagined.

As police retraced her steps, they uncovered a secret online life, a carefully arranged late night meeting, and a trail of digital evidence that pointed toward a man who was hiding something sinister.

This episode unravels the timeline, the evidence, and the chilling escalation that followed Mackenzie’s disappearance… because what began as a missing persons case would soon expose a level of planning and brutality that begs one terrifying question... what was really waiting for her in that car?

In July 2003, in the quiet, suburban community of Clear Lake, Texas, four young friends gathered at home, planning to hang out with some pizza, movies, and a night in. But by the end of that afternoon, all four were dead. What investigators found inside the house was brutal, deliberate, and deeply unsettling. There were no signs of forced entry. No obvious robbery. No clear explanation for the level of violence. Just a scene that suggested one chilling possibility… whoever did this was invited inside. As police began to piece together what happened, they turned to the people closest to the victims - friends, relationships, and the small, everyday details of teenage life that held the key to something much darker. But soon... the case went cold. Years later, a single tip changed everything. In this episode of REDRUM, we tell the story of Rachael Koloroutis, Tiffany Rowell, Marcus Precella, and Adelbert Sanchez - who they were, the lives they were living, and the devastating events that unfolded inside that house. Because sometimes, the most dangerous person… isn’t a stranger at all.

In June 1998, 11 year old Wesley Neailey left his home in Newcastle and cycled off to meet someone he believed he could trust. For Wesley’s family, it was supposed to be a normal afternoon. But when he didn’t come home, panic quickly set in. A missing child search began across the city... and what investigators would eventually uncover would shock the entire community. The person Wesley had been taken by was Dominic McKilligan, an adult who lived nearby. What most people didn’t realise at the time was that Dominic already had a deeply troubling past. Just months earlier, he had been released from a young offenders’ institution after committing a series of assaults against young boys. Despite those warnings, he was now living in this new community - close enough to cross paths with Wesley. On the day Wesley disappeared, he was lured by Dominic to his home. Inside his garage on Wingrove Road, the situation turned violent. For weeks, the case remained a mystery. Posters went up across Newcastle. Searches were carried out across fields and streets as Wesley’s family pleaded for information about where their son might be. As detectives pieced together what had happened, the case raised deeply troubling questions... not just about the crime itself, but about how someone already known to pose a serious risk to children had been able to get close enough to take another young life. For Wesley’s family, the loss was unimaginable. And for the wider public, the case would become a haunting reminder of the consequences when dangerous warnings are missed.
