Case 277: Linda Slaten

Sat, 23 Mar 2024

*** Content warnings: Sexual assault, domestic violence ***



Jeff and Tim Slaten woke on the morning of Friday, September 4 1981, to find their home teeming with police. Their mother, Linda, had been raped and murdered during the night. Neither brother heard a thing, and despite the killer having left pivotal evidence behind, it quickly became clear that this wasn’t an open-and-shut case.

Case 276: Claire Acocks & Margaret Penny

Sat, 16 Mar 2024
May 3 1991, was a typical Friday for 58-year-old Margaret Penny.

But when the two women are found stabbed to death in the salon’s shampoo room, the Portland rumour mill goes into overdrive. 



Who could be motivated to commit such a brazen and vicious crime in the middle of the day, in the busiest part of town? And who was the “horrible man” with a hatred of hairdressers who had tormented Claire in the weeks before the crime?
