Killers, Cults and Queens

On this Spooky Sleepover, Nikki and Cheryl are kick off the start of November with a swift goodbye to the spooky season and are already in the Christmas spirit! The pair chat all things about Cheryl’s upcoming pantomime season in London, they discuss their fav festive sandwiches and the trauma that comes with supermarket temptations with Christmas goodies.

The pair debrief on the case of the Patreon mini-episode on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah, discussing the fraud case, her TV persona, and prospects for a return to television. They also discuss the mystery of the black eye and who could have done it too?

Diving down the rabbit hole this week, Cheryl has been fascinated by the London skyline on her commutes into London and needed to know why London had so many interestingly designed skyscrapers.
Following the Halloween special live show in Brighton, Nikki has fallen down the rabbit hole of all things DEATH BECOMES HER. And you won’t believe what happened to Goldie Hawn on the set….

Who was the Isdal Woman, and why did she go to such extraordinary lengths to hide her identity? In part two of one of Europe's most baffling unsolved mysteries, we're picking up where we left off as investigators begin piecing together the final movements of the unidentified woman found dead in Norway's Isdalen Valley in 1970.
After discovering two suitcases abandoned in Bergen railway station, police had uncovered wigs, disguises, foreign currency, coded notes and clothing with every identifying label removed. But one seemingly insignificant item would provide investigators with their next lead: a shoe shop dust bag from Stavanger.
Tracking down the shop's owner, police found someone who remembered the mysterious woman.
But what they uncovered next only made the case stranger...

Using hotel registration records and handwriting analysis, investigators discovered that the woman had travelled extensively across Europe, checking into hotels under multiple false identities. She spoke several languages, appeared to be constantly on the move and was described as stylish, striking and occasionally paranoid.
Was she a spy operating during the Cold War? An international traveller living under assumed identities? Or was there something much more personal behind her apparent determination to disappear?

We also explore the disturbing post-mortem findings, including the 50–70 sleeping tablets found in her stomach, the unexplained bruising on her neck and the circumstances surrounding her death. Despite an official ruling of suicide, unanswered questions have continued to fuel speculation for decades.
And the mystery doesn't end there. More than 40 years after her death, forensic scientists rediscovered her preserved jawbone and began using advances in isotope testing and DNA technology in the hope of finally discovering where she came from.
More than half a century later, the Isdal Woman remains unidentified.

Join Nikki and Cheryl as they investigate the aliases, possible espionage connections, forensic discoveries and unanswered questions surrounding one of the most fascinating unsolved mysteries in modern history.

This is part two of our investigation into the Isdal Woman.

A mysterious woman. A body burned beyond recognition. Two suitcases full of disguises, foreign currency and coded notebooks. And absolutely no idea who she really was.

In this episode of Killers, Cults & Queens, Nikki and Cheryl investigate one of Norway's most baffling unsolved mysteries: the case of the Isdal Woman.
It's November 1970, and a family hiking through the remote Isdalen Valley near Bergen, Norway, stumble across something horrifying. Nestled among the rocks is the badly burned body of a woman. Her face has been destroyed by fire, her clothes have almost entirely disappeared, and there is very little to help investigators establish who she was or how she ended up dead in such an isolated location.
But things get even stranger...

As detectives begin examining the scene, they discover that identifying labels have been deliberately removed from almost everything surrounding her. Her clothing, belongings and even the items in her luggage have been stripped of anything that might reveal where they came from.

Then, just days after her body is discovered, two suitcases are found abandoned in a locker at Bergen railway station. Inside are wigs, cosmetics, foreign currency, European road maps and notebooks containing what appears to be coded writing.
Who was this woman? Why was she travelling with disguises and multiple currencies? Was she deliberately concealing her identity, and what could she possibly have been running from? Was this a tragic accident, murder, or something altogether more mysterious?

Join Nikki and Cheryl as they begin piecing together the extraordinary story of the Isdal Woman, one of Europe's most fascinating unidentified-person cases.
And don't get too comfortable, because we're only just getting started. Part Two continues on Thursday.

In today's minisode we pick up with the woman who's "fighting for her life, not your approval" in part two of our deep dive on perhaps the most controversial criminal Real Housewives star - Jen Shah. You'll know by now that Cheryl and Nikki are addicted to the Real housewives of Salt Lake City and it's given them something to bond over. And one particular scandal made their jaws drop in unison - the criminal pursuits of Jen Shah.

She claims to be downtrodden and work harder than anyone else but when it was revealed that this may look more like a ponzi scheme, Jen's house of carefully curated cards came crashing down!
