82 – Frenzied: Redvers Bickley

On Saturday, September 9th 2017, a group of women were celebrating a 25th birthday in a house in Rhyl, Wales.  Tyler Denton was hosting the party for her new girlfriend Hayley Barnett. It was supposed to be a girls night but Tylers room mate Redvers James Bickley had crashed the party.

None of the young women could have predicted that by the end of the night one of them would be dead, and 3 others would be seriously injured.

Today’s episode was researched and written by Eileen MacFarlene of the Crimelapse podcast
