Sobre este podcast
Impact podcasts create narrative investigative podcasts that shine a light on major crimes or scandals in communities covered by DC Thomson brands such as The Courier and The Press and Journal.
New Series: “Who Killed Annalise?”
In 2018, 22-year-old Annalise Johnstone was murdered near a Witch’s grave in Perthshire, Scotland. Nearly seven years later, her case remains unsolved. In Who Killed Annalise?, a new true crime podcast from The Courier, investigative journalist Brendan Duggan reopens the case, speaking with key figures to uncover why justice has never been served.
Impact’s first season, Hunting Mr X, centred on the story of former North Sea oil diver Julian Chisholm who orchestrated a £100m cocaine deal with the Cali cartel. It was shortlisted for best podcast at the UK Society of Editors’ Media Freedom Awards in 2023.
Season two - ’Vanished: The Arlene Fraser Murder’ - is also now available.
Follow investigative journalist Dale Haslam as he uncovers what really happened in Scotland’s biggest ever missing persons case.
In 1998, 33-year-old mum of two Arlene Fraser was at her home one minute - and gone the next.
