Strange, But True Crimes
Beam18 Sep 2026

Explore the world’s most hard-to-believe crimes with former forensics lecturer and police recruit trainer Jennifer Rees.
This fascinating evening includes:
• The serial killer who gained work in law enforcement – and was then tasked with hunting himself!
• The researcher whose career began with an encounter in a lift with a serial killer – carrying a bag believed to be containing decapitated heads.
• One woman’s plan to free a prolific, convicted serial killer by committing a copycat murder!
• The hunt for a phantom female serial killer whose DNA was found at over 40 crime scenes… but did not exist.
• Learn how the police could have DNA, fingerprints or an eyewitness tying you to a crime you did not commit!
Content Warning: No graphic crime scene pictures are used, although crime is discussed which may be upsetting for some. Topics mentioned throughout this show include: social influence, deindividuation, dissent/resistance to obedience, relating to criminal activity and anti-social behaviour.
