CONTENT WARNING:This episode contains detailed discussion of murder, strangulation, dismemberment, sexual assault, necrophilia, drug use, and extreme violence. It also discusses mental health issues and incarceration. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

WHY THIS CASE MATTERS:

This isn't an unsolved mystery. There are no unanswered questions about who did this or why. What makes this case significant is what it reveals about sustained violence, the failure of supervision systems, and the people left to carry the aftermath.

Shad Thyrion was not a statistic. He was a son who spent time in a basement that was supposed to be his safe space. His mother went looking for him and found certainty in its most brutal form.

We tell this story with respect for Shad's life and honesty about the crime that ended it.

🎄 He sees you when you’re sleeping.

But Santa was never the only one watching.

Long before Christmas became soft and sparkly, winter was brutal — and obedience was enforced with fear.

In this special Christmas episode of You’re Killing Me, Shawnee dives into the dark, blood-soaked origins of Krampus — the horned enforcer who followed Saint Nicholas, dragging bad children away in sacks, beating them with birch rods, and reminding entire villages what happened when rules were broken.

We trace Krampus from ancient pagan winter gods and the goddess Perchta, through the Church’s weaponisation of fear, to modern-day Krampusnacht — where masked figures still roam Alpine streets, chains rattling, bells screaming, leaving bruises, broken bones, and silence behind.

This isn’t a festive fairy tale.

It’s a story about punishment, control, conditional love — and why some monsters survive because we keep giving them a body.

Listener discretion advised.

Brisbane, 2014. A young couple move into a Teneriffe apartment for what’s meant to be a fresh start: new city, new lease, same old money problems. Three weeks later, one of them is dead and the other is about to become a headline.

In this episode we meet 27-year-old Indonesian woman Mayang Prasetyo and her husband, chef Marcus Volke. We follow them through Melbourne’s adult industry, a quick marriage in Denmark, years of drifting between Europe and Asia, and finally into a riverside unit where migration stress, sex work stigma and domestic tension quietly build.

This episode focuses on who they were before the crime — Mayang as a daughter and breadwinner, Marcus as a drifting chef and sex worker — and the hidden dynamics of domestic violence in LGBTI relationships. We end the story on the night neighbours hear a violent argument and a woman’s screams… and then silence.
