    31/03/2026 | 8 mins.
    On a quiet morning in 2004 Martin Doyle left his home in Suncroft, County Kildare. But he never returned home. There were no reports of a struggle no witnesses and there is still no clear explanation as to what happened to Martin Doyle. In this episode of The Cliff’s Edge Podcast, we examine the timeline, the final sighting of Martin and the questions that still remain decades later.

    EP56: Poison Pen The Circleville Letters

    20/03/2026 | 31 mins.
    In the quiet town of Circleville, a series of anonymous letters were posted. The letters were full of accusations, threats, and information about secret relationships.
    What started as a disturbing act of harassment soon escalated into something far more sinister. That eventually destroyed the social fabric of a peaceful mid-western town.
    But even after an arrest and conviction, the letters continued. Which only added to the mystery and speculation.
    In this episode of The Cliff’s Edge Podcast, I’m joined by a special guest Kevin to explore one of the most infamous cases of poison pen in American history.

    In 2012, the body of Agnes Wanjiru was discovered in a septic tank at a hotel in Nanyuki, a town in central Kenya.
    What followed was a deeply troubling investigation; witnesses came forward and allegations were made yet certain authorities failed to act.

    EP54: The Gorilla Man Strangler with Alvin Esau

    24/02/2026 | 37 mins.
    As America lived through prohibition and the Roaring 20s, a transient killer known as the Gorilla Man Strangler moved across states and eventually international borders. Leaving behind a trail of brutal murders.
    Researcher and author Alvin Esau joins the show to cover the life and crimes of one of the world's first documented serial killers.
    Alvin explores his troubled upbringing, early criminal behaviour and the series of murders that shocked North America. We also discuss the remarkable police work that took place decades before modern forensics.
    Beyond the case itself, we widen the conversation to examine the societal conditions that can contribute to serial offending, and ask whether the modern world has changed in ways that make such offenders less common today.
