About the show
Join former forensics lecturer and police trainer Jennifer Rees as she takes you deep inside some of the most unbelievable criminal cases ever recorded - stories so extraordinary, they sound impossible… but are completely real.
Following her sell-out UK tour The Psychology of Serial Killers, Jennifer returns with a brand-new collection of cases that will shock, unsettle, and fascinate in equal measure.
In this unforgettable evening, you’ll discover…
• A serial killer who infiltrated law enforcement… and was assigned to hunt himself
• A chance encounter in a lift with a man carrying what’s believed to be his victims’ severed heads
• A woman so obsessed with a killer, she committed a copycat murder to try to set him free
• The hunt for a “phantom” serial killer linked to dozens of crime scenes… who never existed
• How you could be “framed” for a crime you didn’t commit - through DNA, fingerprints, or eyewitness testimony
… and more cases that will leave you questioning everything you think you know about justice.
Beyond the shocking twists, this evening also reflects on the real human cost of crime, with respect for the lives at the centre of each case.
This is not just a talk - it’s an experience that will stay with you long after the lights go down.
