🎤🔪 FREE TALK – THE GOLDEN AGE OF SERIAL KILLERS 🔪🎤

📅 Saturday 24th October
⏰ 1PM

How Media Helped Create a Cultural Phenomenon 📰📺

Why did the 1970s–1990s produce so many infamous serial killers — or did they? 🤔🔍

In this fascinating presentation, author Paul Gambino explores how the rise of mass media, 24-hour news and sensationalised crime reporting transformed murderers into cultural icons. 📰📺🩸

Discover how figures such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Richard Ramirez became household names, and how this media phenomenon helped fuel today’s thriving market for true-crime artefacts. 🧠🔎

📚 Following the lecture, there will be a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask Paul your own questions!

✍️ Paul will also be signing copies of his book, Killer Collections.

🎟️ HOW TO ATTEND:
Simply purchase a day ticket to The True CRIME Museum and join us for this amazing FREE TALK! 🙌
⏰ The talk will start promptly at 1PM.
🎟️ Museum tickets can be purchased online or on the door.

🩸 Are you fascinated by the relationship between true crime and the media? This is one talk you won’t want to miss! 🔪📺

🪰🔬 CRIME LAB FACT OF THE WEEK! 🔬🪰

COCKROACH CAN HELP SOLVE MURDER CASES! 😱

Sounds strange… but insects can provide investigators with valuable clues. 🔍

FORENSIC ENTOMOLOGY is the study of insects in relation to crime. Certain insects are attracted to decomposing remains, and their development can help investigators estimate how long someone has been dead. ⏰🕵️

At our Crime Lab, you can discover how something as small as an insect can become an important piece of forensic evidence.

🪰 Would you have thought cockroach could help solve a crime?

TRUE CRIME FANS – THIS ONE’S FOR YOU 🔎

We’ve teamed up with Hastings White Rock Theatre to bring you an exclusive 2-FOR-1 ticket offer for The Makings of a Murderer – The Undercover Detective.

Now he’s lifting the lid on his most dangerous cases live on stage in Hastings.

🧪🔍 CRIME LAB FACT OF THE WEEK! 🔍🧪

👃 DID YOU KNOW? HUMANS HAVE AROUND 5 MILLION SCENT CELLS… BUT THE AVERAGE DOG HAS AROUND 200 MILLION! 🐕👃

That’s around 40 TIMES MORE scent cells than us! 😱

This is where ODOUROLOGY comes in — the study of smells and how scent can be used as evidence in criminal investigations. 🔎

At The True CRIME Museum, you can discover more about how scent and forensic science can help investigators piece together a case. 🕵️‍♀️

Would you have guessed there was such a huge difference between humans and dogs? 👀
