On a cold night in June 2001, the couple were driving through the remote Australian outback.  A passing motorist named Bradley John Murdoch motioned to the couple to stop their vehicle because of car troubles. Peter pulled over and got out of the car. What happened next is the stuff of nightmares. Joanne heard a loud bang and Peter dropped out of sight.  Bradley then attempted to abduct Joanne, but she managed to escape into the desert where she hid for hours. Bradley would eventually be charged with Peter’s murder, but Joanne faced vicious attacks from the media who questioned her every move. The media interest in this trial was so large that the court went under a massive renovation costing almost $1 million dollars. 23 years later, Peter’s body has never been found.  Read our blog for this case We are now on Patreon!  Thank you for your support This episode is sponsored by: Dipsea - Dipsea is an app full of hundreds of short, spicy audio stories.

Jeff and Shaleia moved in together and soon began to form ‘Twin Flames Universe’.   A Twin Flame is a term that has been used to describe two people who are equals.  Twin Flames are meant to push the other in their journey of self-discovery. Jeff and Shaleia have allegedly urged their followers to pursue their twin flame matches, regardless of the law.  Some of their followers have been told to ignore restraining orders in order to match with their flame.  Twin Flames Universe followers sometimes pay thousands of dollars for information from Jeff and Shaleia.  One former devotee even had to declare bankruptcy after spending all of her money and up to ten hours per day studying Jeff and Shaleia’s teachings.  Vanity Fair journalist Alice Hines described the classes as “a therapeutic-spiritual reality show”. Is Twin Flames Universe a cult?  Jeff has denied that is it.  He told VICE “We created an organization of love and harmony which heals and enriches everyone in it and everyone who is connected to anyone in it.” In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss Twin Flames Universe.   Read our blog for this case We are now on Patreon!  Thank you for your support

(12:45) Sarah Sweeney(16:20) Lacey Overby(29:51) Birdie Pruessner & Anne Muhoro Birdie Pruessner had four beautiful children that seemed to be the center of her universe.  She made many social media posts about how much she loved her children.  In February 2024,  Birdie posted many times in one day.  One post read: ‘All my kids, peacefully sleeping in my bed. Curled up together. Knowing they are loved so fiercely that I’d do absolutely anything for them. This is my favorite moment.’ Soon after that post, a fire broke out in Birdie’s home.  She passed away, along with her children and family pets.  Many people started pointing fingers at Birdie’s ex-partners.   Police quickly determined that Birdie was the one to start the fire.  It is thought she set a mattress in the home alight.  She left a suicide note in her minivan.  Birdie’s family have said that she got to an awful place, one that resulted in tragic consequences. Anne Muhoro lived on the opposite side of the world to Birdie, in Canberra, Australia.  Anne and her ex-partner George had a tumultuous relationship and had been fighting in court for years over the custody of their two children. Early one February morning, Anne turned off the electricity to their home and removed the batteries from smoke detectors.  She then set a series of fires in the home, killing herself and her two young children.  Anne died from the effects of the fire, but investigators were not able to determine how the children died – did Anne murder them prior to the blaze?
