Some cases stay with you long after the lights go out. Whispers in the Dark is a true crime podcast that goes deep — into the cases, the people, the places, and the details that matter. Hosted by Claire, a British storyteller based in Germany, each episode is carefully researched, honestly told, and always centred on the people at the heart of the story. The truth, told well. In the dark.
Little Rikki | The Murder of Rikki Neave | Whispers in the Dark
On 28 November 1994, a little boy woke up in his house on the Welland Estate in Peterborough. He made his own breakfast, got himself dressed, and headed off to school alone.
He never arrived.
What followed was one of the longest, most complicated roads to justice in recent British history. This is Little Rikki.#WhispersInTheDark #RikkiNeave #UKTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ColdCase

In your minds eye. In deinem inner Augen. the murder of Doris Mundt
Claire von der Meden <claire.vondermeden@gmail.com>1:04 PM (1 hour ago)to meIt is a Saturday night in a small German town in the winter of 1981. A young woman is getting ready to go out. Her friends are already at the club. There will be dancing, there will be music, there will be the particular joy of a girls’ night that stretches past the point of sensible. The night is young and so is she and the whole weekend is still ahead of her.
She never arrives.
Her case goes cold. And when it finally breaks, it breaks in a way nobody could have predicted — through one detective’s extraordinary psychological gamble, and the one person no guilty man ever thinks to prepare himself for.
I’m Claire, and this is Whispers in the Dark.

AWOL. WHISPERS IN THE DARK. EPISODE 3
In the Royal Navy, men go missing. It happens. There are reasons — and there are ways to explain it away.
But sometimes an explanation is just a door left open. And some doors shouldn’t stay open forever.

The Ghost in the Machine. Whispers in the Dark
In December 2011, nineteen-year-old art student Katy Wynter was looking forward to Christmas with her family in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. She was bright, warm, creative and loved. She had a new boyfriend. She was getting to know his friends.
Something was very wrong. And Katy had no idea.
This week on Whispers in the Dark we tell Katy’s story — a case that will stay with you long after the final episode ends. One of the most calculated and chilling cases in recent British true crime history, hiding in plain sight.
We remember Katy Wynter.

Yvonne Gilford, MURDER IN THE DESERT
In December 1996, Yvonne Gilford — a British nurse working on a hospital compound in Saudi Arabia — was found dead in her locked room. The violence had been sustained. The crime scene was immediately contaminated. Within days, two of her colleagues were arrested, and both confessed.
What followed was one of the most internationally charged criminal cases of the decade: a closed-door trial, a death sentence, 500 lashes, blood money, and two women who returned to the UK to sell their stories to the tabloids.
Yvonne was forgotten.
I grew up on a compound in Saudi Arabia. I know that world. That’s why this is where Whispers in the Dark begins.
True crime. Real victims.
