True Detective October 2023

Description

Jason and Tiffiney Crawford seemed to have achieved marital bliss, raising children together in Cullman, Alabama. But when detectives started to look a little deeper into their relationship, there had been very obvious cracks. By then, Tiffiney was dead, the victim of two seemingly self-inflicted bullet wounds. Investigators initially thought it was suicide, a troubled mom taking her own life. But then the doubts began to creep in. For a start, two shots? Read “How Do You Shoot Yourself In The Head – Twice?” for the full story.

“Crimes That Made The Headlines – 999 Calls Didn’t Save Julie” in this issue takes us back to 2004 and a shocking case from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Divorcees Andrew Millard and Julie Harris made a rather odd couple, she elegant and well-spoken, he a stocky hard man from the West Midlands. For a while the unlikely relationship worked well – until he became possessive and controlling and she finished with him…

Few, if any of us, today believe in fairies but in late-19th-century rural Ireland belief in the little folk was not uncommon. Michael Cleary was a believer, and when his wife Bridget was struck down with tuberculosis, and her appearance changed, he believed she had been spirited away and replaced with a changeling. What followed remains every bit as shocking today as it was back then – don’t miss “Bridget Had To Burn”.
