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 - Cheryl 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.

Trigger warning: dismemberment is mentioned in this episode
In 1935, in the town of Moffat, a young woman was out on a walk with her Mother and noticed a bundle wrapped in cloth, which on first glance looked like nothing much, but on further investigation, there were over 70 different body parts wrapped in cloth and newspaper scattered all around the area.
Many historians describe it as one of the first truly modern forensic investigations.
We also talk about what were watching - SO MUCH!
The problem with changing your name to something difficult to pronounce & many, many penpal stories.
