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.

On the 26th of July 1991 at 4 pm Alan Leahy reported to police that his wife Julie -Ann Leahy and her friend Vicki Arnold had gone fishing in the early hours of that morning and not returned. They were living in Atherton Queensland and had three children. Julie Anne was 26, her friend Vicki was 27 and they were never seen alive again.
We also talk about winter coats ( boring ) Marti's fear of bats, perfectly acceptable thank you very much, drunken night-out transportation and night fishing, yes night fishing!
