    S15E09 | Roy Tutill (Chessington, Surrey, 1968)
    Nov 21 2024
    In April 1968, 14-year-old Roy Tutill vanished on his way home from school, a route he often travelled by hitch-hiking. Three days later, his lifeless body was discovered, sparking an investigation that would span decades. Roy’s tragic murder haunted investigators and the community alike as the years ticked by without justice. Then, in 2001, a breakthrough came when advances in DNA technology linked his killer to the crime - 33 years after the fact. The match was triggered by a chance arrest for drink-driving in 1999, unravelling a secret that had evaded detection for many years and finally bringing closure to one of Britain’s most heartbreaking cold cases.

    S15E08 | Natalie Esack (Ashford, Kent, 2012)
    Nov 14 2024
    In 2012, the murder of Natalie Esack sent shockwaves through the Kent town of Ashford. A talented hairdresser with a bright future, Natalie had reported her estranged husband’s abusive and threatening behaviour to the police multiple times, though each case went unprosecuted. Tragically, those warnings were left unaddressed, and in a brutal act of violence, her life was cut short in her own salon. Natalie’s story is a stark reminder of the dangers that can persist behind closed doors and the devastating consequences when cries for help are not fully heard.

    S15E07 | Lesley Whittle and the Sub-postmaster Murders: Lives Lost Across Four Counties (1974-1975)
    Nov 7 2024
    In the mid-seventies, a wave of terror swept across multiple English counties, culminating in the tragic murder of 17-year-old Lesley Whittle. A promising student and beloved daughter, Lesley was kidnapped and held for ransom - a nightmare that would grip her family and shock the nation. But Lesley wasn't the only victim of her captor. In the months leading up to her abduction, three sub-postmasters - Donald Skepper, Derek Astin and Sidney Grayland - had been ruthlessly targeted, each meeting a devastating fate. Despite their attempts to protect themselves and their communities, these innocent men became the victims of a chilling string of attacks, which led investigators on a relentless pursuit of one of Britain’s most notorious killers.

  • S15E06 | Tania Moore (Ashbourne, Derbyshire, 2004)

    S15E06 | Tania Moore (Ashbourne, Derbyshire, 2004)
    Oct 31 2024
    In 2004, the shocking murder of award-winning showjumper Tania Moore shattered the quiet community of Ashbourne. Tania, a popular and ambitious woman with a bright future, was driving home from work when her life was cruelly taken in a cold-blooded ambush by someone she had once trusted deeply - her ex-fiancé. For over a year leading up to her murder, Tania endured relentless abuse at the hands of her ex, including an orchestrated assault and robbery. Despite her courage in reporting the abuse and death threats on multiple occasions, systemic failures and overworked authorities allowed the danger to persist. As Domestic Abuse Awareness Month draws to a close, Tania’s story is a harrowing reminder of the dangers many face behind closed doors. While this month brings vital attention to the issue, the campaign against domestic abuse must continue year-round.

  • S15E05 | Wesley Neailey (Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, 1998)

    S15E05 | Wesley Neailey (Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, 1998)
    Oct 23 2024
    In 1998, the brutal murder of 11-year-old Wesley Neailey sent shockwaves through Newcastle and the entire nation. Wesley was a friendly and happy boy who trusted people easily, but that trust was cruelly exploited when he was lured away by someone he'd recently come into contact with. The person responsible for his death preyed on Wesley’s innocence, cutting his young life short in a horrifying act of violence. The murder not only devastated his family, but also exposed deeply concerning loopholes in the British legal system.

  • Interview #63 | Investigating the Thames Torso Murders: Sarah Bax Horton Discusses Her New Book 'Arm of Eve'

    Interview #63 | Investigating the Thames Torso Murders: Sarah Bax Horton Discusses Her New Book 'Arm of Eve'
    Oct 20 2024
    I welcome true crime writer, researcher and analyst Sarah Bax Horton to the show in this interview episode to discuss her new book 'Arm of Eve: Investigating the Thames Torso Killer'. Jack the Ripper is often called the world’s most notorious unidentified killer, but he was not the first modern serial killer on the streets of London. Before him was another murderer who hunted from the River Thames – one arguably more sadistic and mercurial. The Thames Torso Killer has always lurked in the Ripper’s shadow, despite the fact he murdered and dismembered at least four people over two years. He started to kill in 1887, over a year before the Ripper, and his last murder was in 1889, almost ten months after the death of Mary Jane Kelly, the Ripper’s last victim. In Arm of Eve, Sarah conducts her own investigation and uses modern criminal profiling to come up with her own suspect – a known criminal who knew the Thames like the back of his hand. Set to be published by The History Press on October 31, 2024, you can pre-order a copy here: Arm of Eve | The History Press ***This interview was recorded on October 8, 2024.

  • The Strangeways Prison Riot (Manchester, Greater Manchester, 1990) | Feat. Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings

    The Strangeways Prison Riot (Manchester, Greater Manchester, 1990) | Feat. Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings
    Oct 16 2024
    In April 1990, one of the most notorious and violent prison uprisings in British history erupted at Strangeways Prison in Manchester. What began as a protest quickly spiralled into a full-blown riot, as prisoners seized control of the facility, venting their anger over brutal conditions and overcrowding. For 25 days, the world watched in shock as inmates set fires, battled guards, and took to the roof in defiance. The uprising left one inmate and prison officer dead, hundreds injured, and the prison in ruins, forcing a nationwide re-examination of the UK prison system. **This episode features Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings telling me (and you) the story of the riot.
