About

With Jennifer Rees

Stranger than fiction: explore the world’s most shocking and unbelievable crime cases, including:

- The serial killer who gained work in law enforcement whilst on the run - and was then tasked with hunting himself!
- The researcher whose career began after an encounter in a lift with a serial killer – who had just killed his latest victims, and was carrying a bag believed to be holding their decapitated heads.
- The female, balloon-carrying killer clown.
- One woman’s plan to get a prolific serial killer released from prison by committing a copycat murder of her own… and her connection to yet another serial killer!
- The 14-year reign of terror one child snatcher inflicted on locals, whilst wearing a terrifying mask and makeshift claws.
- The hunt for a phantom female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes spanning 18 years… who did not exist.
- Serial Killers on game shows – how their appearances led to their identification.
- Explore the psychology behind costumes, masks and disguises.
- Plus learn how the police could have DNA, fingerprints or an eyewitness tying you to a crime you did not commit!

Suitable for 16+. No graphic crime scene pictures are used, although crime is discussed which may be upsetting for some.

Jennifer Rees is an ex-college lecturer and past police recruit trainer. Her previous theatre tour, The Psychology of Serial Killers, was a huge hit with audiences - including Middlesbrough Town Hall in 2022 - selling out across the UK and Ireland to rave reviews.

She holds degrees in psychology and criminal law, as well as professional qualifications in mental health and education.
