Hello everyone and welcome back to True Crime with Kendall Rae. Thank you so much for joining me today and if you're new to the show then welcome. I'm so happy to have you all here today. So you guys today's case oh my god. Okay I started seeing this popping up on my feed over the last couple of months and when I really looked into the details of this one let me tell you my jaw was on the
the floor. Today, we're gonna be diving into what we know about an ongoing case, has yet to go to trial, I will explain, but we're gonna be talking about Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan. And you may have heard this referred to in the media or social media as the Au Pair murders, or also the Au Pair love triangle murders.
I've seen a couple different names for it, but it is truly, I can't even put into words, it's just nuts. And it's incredibly sad. I mean, these victims and the way that they have been smeared or were attempted to be smeared to damage their image, their character has just been so awful.
I swear, as long as I have been covering cases, to this day, it never ceases to just blow me away what some people are willing to do to try and get what they want and how they think they're actually going to get away with it. But... Oftentimes, these people who commit these crimes are stupid, and we sort of love that, right? Because stupid people get caught, and that's what happened here.
The reason I wanted to cover it now is because trial was supposed to begin very soon. Unfortunately, it did get pushed back, which I will explain. But I thought it was a good time to go over what we do know so far, which has been sort of limited. Um, I'll explain here and there, the things, you know, that we're still missing at this point.
And there's also quite a bit of, or I should say a lack of information regarding the victims and who they really were. And I know.
you guys know that that's really important to me to tell you as much about who they were while they were alive as possible because i think it's just as important as talking about what happened to them in the end of their lives when they were stolen from them as i just said we have two victims in today's case and their names are christine banfield and joseph ryan and like i also said a big part of the plot
in their murders were to make them look like bad people who made bad choices and that those choices led to their murders, which could not be further from the truth. But that is what the intention was. So I guess in some way I wanted to try my best to set the record straight with the information that we do have. I do, before we go any further, I forgot to mention earlier that, um,
Everyone in this case at this point is still innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. So we have to keep that in mind. And you will hear me, you know, say things like alleged and allegedly throughout this case. However, I will say the evidence really does speak for itself. But of course, there is the presumption of innocence. So I just had to mention that.
