Mums Mysteries & Murder
We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Effie Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.
Mums Mysteries & Murder
The tragic death of Caroline Byrne
Trigger warning for this episode, dealing with suicide.
This month Marti is covering the tragic death of Caroline Byrne in NSW Australia in 1995 and it might ring some familiar bells with the Melissa Caddick case we covered recently.
Caroline Byrne was a normal 24-year-old living a normal life with a boyfriend she had just moved in with, started a new job she loved and had a relatively happy family life, why then on the 7th of June would she suddenly take her own life, or was she murdered?
We also talk about the UK apparently being in the top 5 most depressing places to live in the world! - guess where we fared?
Effie's latest obsession, makeover shows, fashion in the 2000s and morgue visits in primary school! Yes you read that right, no wonder we're so screwed up.
