Truth is stranger than fiction in new show

Following the phenomenal success of her previous touring hit The Psychology of Serial Killers, which sold out venues across the UK and Ireland, Jennifer returns with a brand-new show that dives into some of the most bizarre, chilling, and almost unbelievable cases in modern criminal history.

Blending expert insight with compelling storytelling, Strange, But True Crime explores cases that defy logic and challenge everything we think we know about crime and justice. Audiences will be taken deep into a world where truth is often stranger than fiction.

Among the extraordinary cases featured are:

• A serial killer who managed to gain employment in law enforcement while on the run - and was later assigned to help hunt himself
• A researcher whose career began after a chance encounter in a lift with a serial killer, believed to be carrying the decapitated heads of his victims
• A woman who attempted to secure the release of a convicted serial killer by committing a copycat murder of her own - with links to yet another killer
• The baffling case of a ‘phantom’ female serial killer, whose DNA appeared at over 40 crime scenes across 18 years… despite the suspect never existing

The evening also examines how forensic evidence can sometimes mislead investigations. Audiences will gain fascinating insight into how DNA, fingerprints, and even eyewitness testimony could potentially link an innocent person to a crime they did not commit.

Drawing on her extensive academic and professional background, Jennifer Rees unpacks complex psychological and forensic concepts in an accessible and thought-provoking way. The show explores themes such as social influence, obedience, jury decision-making, and the reliability of evidence - offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how criminal cases are built and understood.

Jennifer holds degrees in psychology and criminal law, alongside professional qualifications in mental health and education. Her engaging and knowledgeable approach has earned widespread acclaim, making her one of the UK’s most compelling speakers in the field of true crime.

Strange, But True Crime is recommended for ages 16+. While no graphic crime scene imagery is used, the show discusses real criminal activity and themes that some audience members may find unsettling.
