Episode 386 - The Kidwelly Sex Cult

In 2000, Christine Lundy and her seven-year-old daughter Amber were brutally hacked to death in their New Zealand home. Their husband and father, Mark Lundy, had a seemingly watertight alibi: he was over 90 miles away. But that didn’t stop the New Zealand courts from convicting him. Twice. With a controversial case built on junk science, shifting timelines, and a microscopic speck of what prosecutors called ‘brain tissue’ (but might have just been lunch), the Lundy saga was New Zealand’s answer to Making a Murderer. Was an innocent man wrongfully convicted? Or did the police catch a killer who thought he’d pulled off the perfect crime?

‘Anal seepage’ is one of the many potential risks to the consumer due to seafood fraud, a multi-layered conspiracy that goes as deep as the Mariana Trench. The stats speak for themselves: if you’re in the UK, there’s a 55% chance that the fish you’re eating has been deliberately mislabeled. In the US, 120 samples of ‘Red Snapper’ were tested, and only 7 turned out to be the real thing. Clearly there’s something fishy going on. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram Sources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

When Luigi Mangione was charged as the UnitedHealthcare shooter – it changed everything. The public knew this was a political act, but Luigi was not the crackpot vigilante many had pictured. He had no clear personal link to UnitedHealthcare (or CEO Brian Thompson) – and he had everything to lose. To many, he became a certified, revolutionary, anti-capitalist heartthrob. But there’s also a lot more to Mangione than the selfless martyr with chiselled abs. In our concluding part, we take a deeper look at Mangione’s life: his privileged upbringing, world travels, and the innermost thoughts shared in his notebook – which reveal how a charming, idealistic tech bro with the world at his feet, turned his thoughts to murder.

Our 2026 listener survey is here – if you have 5 minutes to help inform the next year of RedHanded, we'd love to know your thoughts! https://forms.gle/jNhKVqtdyqoyF3ey9 -- Three words, written on bullet casings, instantly changed the New York City shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson from a senseless inner-city attack, into one of the most polarising, unique and culturally important events in modern memory. In part one of our coverage of the Luigi Mangione story, we run through the entire breakneck timeline of those first five days: the nationwide manhunt, the growing cultural phenomenon, and the arrest – where police said they unmasked the killer, and his manifesto, for the first time. And then, the madness that followed: when detached, meme-led internet thirst met one of the most febrile political discussions in the modern US. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram Sources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com
