  • The Murder of Keith Lyon

    The Murder of Keith Lyon
    Apr 24 2024
    Keith Lyon was a very cute 12 year old boy with a cheeky face and ears that he’d not yet grown into. He lived with his Mother Valda, father Ken and little brother Peter who was 7 in the village of Ovingdean- which is a small village very close to Brighton and Hove in East Sussex. They lived in a pretty large home. The family were a very respectable family and were well liked. On the 4th May 1967 Ken was preparing to play in a concert at the Metropole hotel in Brighton when Police arrived asking to speak with him. That day would change the lives of the Lyon family forever.

  • The Remarkable Story of Miriam Rodriguez

    The Remarkable Story of Miriam Rodriguez
    Mar 20 2024
    Last weekend on March 10th the UK celebrated Mother’s Day. They say that there is nothing like a Mother’s Love. When you have a child you vow to love and protect them for the rest of your life. One woman took that vow so seriously that she came up against some of the most dangerous people in Mexico. Often only armed with a gun, fake ID and a disguise she gave hope to hundreds of parents of missing children.

    Summary
    In this episode, Cherry shares the case of Miriam Rodriguez, a mother in Mexico whose daughter was kidnapped by the Los Zetas drug cartel. Miriam paid the ransom but received no news about her daughter. She took matters into her own hands, conducting her own investigation and eventually discovering the location of her daughter's remains. Miriam faced frustration with the authorities and the lack of response from the government. The case highlights the brutality of the drug cartel and the challenges faced by families seeking justice. Miriam Rodriguez, a mother from Mexico, took on a drug cartel single-handedly to seek justice for her daughter's abduction and murder. Despite facing death threats and lack of support, Miriam went to great lengths to track down and expose the gang members involved. She infiltrated their families, gathered evidence, and handed them over to the police. Miriam's determination and bravery inspired others, but tragically, she was shot and killed on Mother's Day. Her story serves as a reminder of the love between a mother and child and the power of one person's fight against injustice.

Amazing podcast with hosts that care!

I listen to many true crime podcasts, and Crimepedia is my favorite. One host (Cherry) is from England and one (Morgan) is from The States. They cover cases from around the world, which makes this podcast extremely interesting. Taking turns "hosting" and presenting the cases adds much interest, and it's obvious how much they care. They involve themselves with many of the cases outside of their work on the actual podcast . For extra fun, join their Patreon!! Each week they present "Crimepedia Extra" prior to discussing the case. It is extremely entertaining and showcases their hilarious personalities. I cannot recommend Crimepedia enough.
