Rachel Thacker was just 21, with a new job, a new car and a future that seemed full of possibilities. A caring, outgoing and popular young woman, she had recently graduated with a degree in occupational therapy and was looking forward to beginning her career.

After travelling to Manchester to celebrate a friend's 21st birthday, Rachel spent the evening with friends before deciding it was time to head home. As she searched for a taxi in the early hours, a car pulled up. Rachel got into the passenger seat believing she had found a way home.

But it wasn't a taxi. Rachel had just got into the car of a dangerous predator. What happened next was shocking, brutal and would change the lives of everyone who loved her forever.

What would it be like to lose your identical twin to murder?

In this episode, I talk to Nick Dawson, whose identical twin, Simon, was murdered in the most dreadful attack in 1998. I found this conversation incredibly moving and, at times, very emotional. Nick takes us back to his brother’s childhood and talks about the man Simon was before his life was so brutally taken away. We also discuss the murder itself and the devastating impact it had on Nick and those who loved his brother.

But there is another extraordinary part of Nick’s story. He has met the men who killed his brother. Nick tells me about those meetings, what it was like to come face-to-face with the people responsible for his twin’s death, the questions he wanted answered, and what those encounters meant to him. It is a deeply personal conversation about murder, grief, memory, forgiveness and the search for answers, told by someone who lost the person who, in so many ways, was the closest person in the world to him.

Dawn Rhodes was a 38-year-old mum whose attempt to leave an unhappy marriage ended in tragedy.

After her murder, a disturbing version of events emerged in which Dawn was portrayed as a violent woman who had attacked her own child. But behind that story was a lie which would have devastating consequences for those left behind. The episode today explores the murder of Dawn Rhodes, the story created in its aftermath, and the devastating impact of the truth being hidden for so long.

In Newport, South Wales, Martin Podmore met a woman at a party - nothing unusual there, and the two got on well. But it was the beginning of an encounter that would take a deeply disturbing turn when he later kept her captive against her will. She was trapped in a situation where her freedom was taken away by someone she barely knew.

And then came a disturbing discovery: this wasn't the first time Podmore had done something like this...

In this bonus episode, I chat with top crime reporter, Martin Brunt.

Martin spent 36 years at Sky News and built such a reputation for contacts that, during the 2006 Ipswich serial murders, a police press officer reportedly told a rival journalist: 'Call Martin Brunt. He knows everything before we do.' Martin Brunt joined Sky for its launch in 1989, reported from the Gulf and Balkan wars, then became one of Britain's best-known crime reporters, covering cases including Fred and Rose West, Sarah Payne, Jill Dando, Madeleine McCann and the Hatton Garden raid. 

His book, 'No One Got Cracked Over the Head for No Reason', opens up his notebook on the victims, detectives, villains, sources, errors and ethical choices behind those headlines, and asks why some crimes seize the public imagination while others barely register. Martin stepped back from full time reporting in 2025, but retirement seems to have evaded him: he remains a Sky crime commentator and, with Helen Fospero, co-hosts the award-winning True Criminals podcast.

When you move into a small flat in a new town, just how much can you really know about your neighbours?

Melanie Sturton had only recently left home to work and study when she moved into a flat in Aberdeen. She could have had no idea that someone living nearby would ultimately play a part in a terrible crime. Melanie was murdered, and in this episode I look at the shocking circumstances of the killing, the investigation and the trial.

Minutes before taking his own life, Michael Ryan looked back on the devastation he had caused in Hungerford. He had killed 16 people and injured 15 others. Then he told the police negotiator: “I wish I had stayed in bed.”

In this episode, I look back at what happened that day, the people whose lives were changed forever, and the events that unfolded as a quiet town found itself at the centre of a tragedy that shocked the country. I also look at some of the lesser-known details of the case and the questions that remained long after the shooting had ended.

Detectives believed they had identified the murderer, and when they entered the bedroom of 18-year-old Danyal Hussein in south-east London, they found something extraordinary. Among his belongings was a handwritten note, signed in his own blood, which described a pact he claimed to have made with a demon called Lucifuge Rofocale.

According to the beliefs surrounding black magic, Lucifuge Rofocale was said to be in charge of the government and treasury of Hell, acting on the orders of Lucifer. The pact Hussein had written described a chilling bargain: he would murder six women every six months in return for financial rewards, including the promise of winning the lottery. What detectives had discovered would give them a disturbing insight into the thinking of the teenager they believed was responsible for two brutal murders.

Carol Morgan was a much-loved wife and mother whose life was brutally taken inside the family shop. What initially appeared to be a shocking and senseless murder would go on to raise questions that remained unanswered for decades.

As investigators worked to understand what had happened, a complicated picture began to emerge, involving people close to Carol and a secret that had remained hidden for years. In this episode, we look at Carol's life, the circumstances surrounding her murder, and the painstaking investigation that eventually brought long-buried questions back into the spotlight. But even after the case finally moved forward, one important question remained: who actually killed Carol Morgan?

Vikki Thompson lived in a village near Oxford with her husband Jonathan, two young children and the family dog, Daisy. At about 4pm one Saturday afternoon, Vikki took Daisy for her usual afternoon walk in the pretty countryside close to where she lived. Half an hour later, Daisy returned home with no sign of Vikki which was most unusual. Jonathan knew something was wrong and headed out to look for his wife where he was joined by others in the village.

At just before 7.15pm Vikki was finally found by the railway embankment, but she had been attacked, suffering terrible injuries and despite an air ambulance taking her to hospital in Oxford, just six days later Vikki had died of her injuries. In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I ask just who killed Vicki - and why?

Welcome to the final episode - for now, anyway - of this special four-part series of the UK True Crime Podcast, where I explore the life and death of 19-year-old Ed Cornes. Today, we look at the inquest into Ed’s death, the Met Police referring themselves to the IOPC over their handling of the investigation, and I ask the question: where are we today?

If you have missed the other three episodes, 19 year old Ed Cornes had only just begun the next exciting chapter of his life when, in October 2021, he arrived at University College London with ambitions of becoming a barrister. But less than 48 hours later, those ambitions were cut tragically short when paramedics were called to a hotel in King's Cross, just half a mile from his university accommodation, where they found Ed dead.

At the time of his death, Ed was in the company of two men in their fifties - strangers he had met only a few hours earlier.

If you have any information at all that can help us find out any more about what happened to Ed, please contact in the strictest confidence:

The murder of Sadie Hartley is a shocking story of jealousy, obsession and a carefully planned killing.

Sadie was a successful businesswoman from Lancashire who was attacked and murdered on her own doorstep. What followed was a complex investigation which uncovered a plot that had been developing for months. This episode looks at Sadie's life, the events that led to her murder, the investigation that followed and how police eventually uncovered the truth behind what had happened.

Above all, this is the story of a woman who was simply going about her life, completely unaware of the danger that was developing around her.

Stephen Port was a serial killer who murdered four men in Barking, East London, between 2014 and 2015.

In this episode, I examine the failings in the police investigation into Stephen Port and ask whether the Metropolitan Police repeated some of the same mistakes in their handling of Ed Cornes' death. It's a thought-provoking episode that raises important questions about policing, accountability, and whether the lessons from the Port investigation were truly learned.

For years, Ian Paterson was regarded as one of Britain's leading breast surgeons. Patients placed their trust in him at some of the most frightening moments of their lives, believing they were receiving the best possible care.

Instead, many underwent unnecessary or inappropriate operations that left them with lasting physical and psychological consequences. As concerns mounted, one of the biggest medical scandals in modern UK history began to unfold, raising serious questions not only about one surgeon's actions but also about how he was able to continue practising for so long. In this episode, I explore the rise and fall of Ian Paterson, the devastating impact on his patients and the lessons that continue to shape patient safety today.

To mark today, the 40th anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance, last week I sat down last week to chat with former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Mike Barley.

Mike was one of the first officers involved in the investigation, helping to establish the original incident room at Fulham Police Station within hours of Suzy being reported missing. He remained closely involved with the case for more than 12 years, following countless leads, investigating reported sightings, working with Suzy's family and later focusing on convicted murderer and rapist John Cannan.

It's a fascinating interview where Mike shares behind-the-scenes insights into one of Britain's most enduring missing person investigations, including the remarkable story of an afternoon spent interviewing John Cannan in prison, during which Cannan briefly admitted killing Suzy before immediately withdrawing his confession.

Mike and co-author Russell Barnes have recently published a new book, Suzy Lamplugh: The Inside Story of Britain's Most Notorious Missing Person Investigation, drawing on Mike’s decades of first-hand experience of the case. You can buy the book on Kindle by following the link below.

I'll be back as normal on Friday for the next episode of the UK True Crime podcast, so do join me then.

Forty years ago today, estate agent Suzy Lamplugh disappeared after leaving her office in Fulham to meet a client known only as 'Mr Kipper'. She has never been seen again. In this special anniversary episode, I revisit one of Britain's most enduring mysteries, examining Suzy's life, the investigation, the suspects, and where the case is at four decades later.

In a second episode also released today, I interview former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Mike Barley about this case. There is nobody out there more qualified to provide insight than Mike who was one of the first officers involved in the investigation, helping to establish the original incident room at Fulham Police Station within hours of Suzy being reported missing. He remained closely involved with the case for more than 12 years, following countless leads, investigating reported sightings, working with Suzy's family and later focusing on convicted murderer and rapist John Cannan.

Welcome to this special four-part series of the UK True Crime Podcast, where I explore the life and death of 19-year-old Ed Cornes.

Ed had only just begun the next exciting chapter of his life when, in October 2021, he arrived at University College London with ambitions of becoming a barrister. But less than 48 hours later, those ambitions were cut tragically short when paramedics were called to a hotel in King's Cross, just half a mile from his university accommodation, where they found Ed dead.

At the time of his death, Ed was in the company of two men in their fifties - strangers he had met only a few hours earlier.

Throughout this series, I'll speak to Ed's family and friends - the people who have fought tirelessly to uncover the truth about exactly what happened to him. Together, we'll examine the events leading up to his death, the police investigation that followed, and the many questions that still remain unanswered today.

If you have any information at all that can help us find out any more about what happened to Ed, please contact in the strictest confidence:

1, Ed's family via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Da8cL06MHmq/

2, The Met Police: opthrupp@met.police.uk

3, Me: Adam@uktruecrime.com

Next Sunday, I sit down with Ed's mum, Miriam, and his best friend, Sam, to learn more about the young man behind the headlines and the profound impact his death has had on those who loved him. I hope you'll join me for this episode.

You will probably remember Daniel Khalife for his extraordinary escape from HMP Wandsworth. But his story started long before that. In this episode, I look at how a young British Army soldier became caught up in a world of espionage, the events that led to his arrest, and the remarkable prison escape that made headlines around the world. It's a story of ambition, deception and some surprisingly old-fashioned spycraft.

We all trust our doctors, don't we? In many ways, we have little choice. We rely on them to diagnose illness, offer advice and make decisions that can have a profound impact on our lives.

But in today's episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at the extraordinary story of a doctor who wasn't at all what she seemed. For more than two decades, she practised medicine in the UK despite not being properly qualified, exposing serious failures in the systems designed to protect patients. It's a story of deception, misplaced trust and missed opportunities - and one that raises uncomfortable questions about how such an astonishing fraud was allowed to continue for so long.

What goes on inside the mind of a killer?

In this special episode, I'm joined by top forensic psychologist Kerry Daynes, who has spent her career assessing and treating some of the UK's most dangerous offenders. We talk about dangerous criminals, manipulation, violent crime, and what she's learned from sitting face-to-face with people most of us hope never to meet. It's a fascinating conversation that offers a rare insight into the psychology of crime.

Melissa Reid and Michaella McCollum became known around the world as the "Peru Two" after they were caught trying to smuggle 11 kilograms of cocaine out of Peru.

They said they had been drawn into the operation by an organised crime gang and felt they couldn't back out, while others argued they had knowingly taken a huge risk in return for money. Their arrest made headlines across the globe and sparked years of debate about where the line lies between exploitation and personal responsibility. In this episode, I look beyond the headlines to explore how two teenagers ended up at the centre of one of the most talked-about drug trafficking cases of recent times, and why their story still divides opinion today.

"Is it fair that a young lady who dresses to attract, the queen bee attracting the drones, the queen bee that dresses to kill... cries out foul because somebody finds her attractive?"

Shockingly, those were the words of the defence barrister during the trial. Understandably, this sparked widespread outrage at the time and remains one of the most extraordinary examples of victim blaming in a British courtroom.

A chance encounter with a stranger turned Perry Southall's life into a nightmare. What followed was a relentless campaign of stalking that left her living in fear and exposed serious flaws in the way the justice system dealt with dangerous offenders. Perry's courage in speaking out helped change the conversation around stalking in Britain, making this one of the country's most important stalking cases.

Elizabeth Simms-Rees was a kind and trusting young woman whose life was brutally cut short at just 21 by someone she considered a friend.

The man responsible, Richard Cullen, had a long history of violence and a disturbing obsession with the occult and devil worship.

Scott Pritchard was just 19 years old when he was brutally attacked only yards from his family home in Sunderland. The football-mad teenager, who was recovering from a broken foot and relying on crutches, was especially vulnerable when he was ambushed and fatally struck with a blunt object.

For years, his murder remained one of the North East's most enduring unsolved cases. His family suffered unimaginable heartbreak, while Scott's dad faced the additional anguish of being wrongly suspected of his own son's killing. In this episode, I examine the investigation, the mistakes, the unanswered questions, and the extraordinary twist that finally revealed the truth. It is the story of a family who refused to give up hope and a case that proved justice can sometimes arrive in the most unexpected way.

Over the years, he posed as professional footballers, wealthy businessmen and well-connected insiders, gaining access to luxury lifestyles and the trust of his victims. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I examine the rise and repeated downfall of one of Britain's most prolific fraudsters, and how his lies continued to convince new victims to spend their mone on him, despite his multiple convictions.

This podcast normally has a focus on victims of crime. Today, is different as I focus on the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, Christian Brückner.

In this special episode, I chat with Alex Frieling, a freelance German journalist covering crime, justice and investigative stories. He has reported extensively on Christian Brückner and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann for several British and German media outlets, including the Daily Mirror and The Sun. Over the past few years, he has attended court hearings, spoken with sources connected to the case and conducted on-the-ground reporting in Germany and so I was very keen to talk with him about Brückner.

To follow his work - and I highly recommend it - Alex can be found on TikTok and other social media platforms under his name, Alex Frieling.

A special extended podcast today.

When Molly McLaren ended a short relationship, she believed it was the start of a new chapter. Instead, she found herself subjected to relentless stalking and harassment by a former partner who refused to accept the breakup. As the obsession intensified, Molly repeatedly tried to protect herself and move forward with her life. Tragically, her fears became reality when the stalking culminated in a shocking act of violence.

In this episode, I explore Molly's story, the warning signs of coercive and obsessive behaviour, and the lasting impact her case has had on the conversation around stalking and victim protection.

I am back on Sunday with a special edition of the UK True Crime Podcast in conversation with German journalist Alex Frieling all about the chief suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, Christian Brückner. I will be back with my normal story on Tuesday - join me for these episodes.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I examine the tragic murder of Jessie Hurlstone, a young woman living in Devon whose life was taken following a campaign of obsessive stalking that escalated into deadly violence. I explore Jessie’s life, the investigation that followed her killing, the evidence presented in court, and the conviction of Stephen Webber.. This is a heartbreaking case that serves as a powerful reminder that stalking is never harmless and should always be taken seriously.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the disturbing case of Matthew Falder, a seemingly ordinary university administrator who led a disturbing double life online. Using fake identities, manipulation and blackmail, Falder targeted vulnerable victims across the world, coercing them into degrading and harmful acts.

I explore how his crimes were uncovered, the international investigation that brought him down, and the devastating impact his actions had on those he targeted. It's one of the most disturbing online abuse cases ever prosecuted in the UK.

Peter Lee was a respected businessman who had built one of the North East's largest bus companies - looking in from the outside, he had it all. But behind the scenes, he was secretly stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds from his own business to fund an obsession with a London sex worker.

As the deception grew, so did the consequences. What began as a fantasy would eventually lead to criminal charges, a prison sentence, the collapse of his company and the loss of hundreds of jobs. In this episode, I examine the extraordinary rise and fall of Peter Lee, and how one man's obsession destroyed everything he had worked to build.

It was a small village in Hertfordshire, where very little ever disturbed the peace - certainly not the kind of brutal violence that unfolded when retired Army Colonel Robert Workman was shot dead on his own doorstep.

Robert was an old-fashioned military man: well spoken, private, proud, and known for his calm and easy-going nature. He lived a quiet life and had no obvious enemies. So when news spread that he had been murdered outside his own home, the question on everyone’s mind was chillingly simple - who could possibly have wanted him dead, and why?

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast from the north-west of England, I cover the devastating murder of Elle Edwards - an innocent young woman caught in the crossfire when gun violence erupted outside a busy pub.

What began as a normal night out ended in chaos within seconds, leaving a family shattered and an entire community searching for answers. Detectives launched a major investigation as CCTV footage, forensic evidence and witness accounts were pieced together to uncover exactly what happened. I explore the events leading up to the shooting, the hunt for the gunman and the court case that followed, in a case that shocked Merseyside and the wider UK.

I release episodes every Tuesday and Friday, so please join me on Tuesday for the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.

Between January 2022 and December 2024, 65,053 arson offences were recorded across the UK police forces that provided data - yet only 4.83% of these cases resulted in charges. Arson is a terrifying and often deadly crime with incredibly low conviction rates.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the case of Stefan Geary and a series of arson offences that affected communities across the North East. I examine the police investigation, the evidence presented in court, and the impact the fires had on local residents and emergency services. The episode also explores Geary’s background and the circumstances that led to his conviction.

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with legendary ex-detective Colin Sutton to talk about his new TV Series:

Confessions of a Serial Killer: Levi Bellfield- available to stream on Prime Video from 25 May.

In this series, Colin and his team re-examine the claims of serial killer Levi Bellfield, whose repeated and conflicting confessions to the 1996 murders of Lin and Megan Russell have reignited one of the country’s most controversial cases. With another man still serving life sentences for the crime, this series unravels a complex web of evidence, doubt and deception, asking whether Bellfield is manipulating the system from behind bars. This is one series you really don't want to miss.

I hope you enjoy my chat with Colin and I'll be back on Tuesday with the next episode of the UK True Crime Podcast.

For many people living on the fringes of society, long-term plans often give way to simply surviving day by day. It can be a world shaped by addiction, instability and violence - as seen in today’s case from Bournemouth on England’s south coast.

After human body parts were discovered in different areas of the town, a major police investigation led detectives to a cramped one-bedroom flat shared by three vulnerable people living chaotic lives dominated by drugs, alcohol and financial hardship. As tensions inside the flat spiralled out of control, the situation turned deadly, ending in a shocking and brutal murder.

A crime with no victims, just the faceless banks. Or is that ever really the case?

Elliot Castro was one of the most prolific fraudsters in the UK, starting from a very early age where he stole identities and credit card details to fund a life of luxury across the world. From five-star hotels to designer shopping sprees, Castro lived under countless false identities while staying one step ahead of authorities for years. But behind the glamour was a deeply compulsive double life built on deception, manipulation and fraud.

In this episode, I look at how Elliot Castro became one of the UK’s most notorious conmen - and how his extraordinary criminal career finally came crashing down.

Kevin Weaver was in his early twenties but he wasn't enjoying life at all. He had been suffering from depression for a long time, drinking heavily and he missed his finance - despite being split for two years he couldn't accept it was really over.

Then one morning, he woke up and decided that this was the day he was going to kill...

What began as a celebration ended in devastating violence.

Pat Howard and Adam Fanelli were killed after a baby shower in Houghton Regis spilled out onto the street, where a confrontation escalated rapidly into a brutal and sustained attack. In front of multiple witnesses, the violence intensified - culminating in the use of both a vehicle and a knife. Along with Adam Fanelli, who was trying to defuse the situation, Pat suffered fatal injuries in a case which shocked the community.

Investigators reconstructed the events through CCTV, witness accounts, and forensic evidence, revealing a deliberate and relentless assault. In this podcast I look at events leading up to the two murders, the police investigation and how those responsible were brought to justice.

The events of that night remain a stark reminder of how quickly a minor argument can spiral out of control into shocking violence.

David Black, a 52-year-old Northern Ireland prison officer, was shot dead in a targeted motorway ambush whilst driving to work at Maghaberry Prison. Gunmen pulled alongside his car and opened fire in the the first murder of a prison officer in over two decades. So just who killed David? And why?

50-year-old Robert Powell was brutally murdered outside a party in Essex in what investigators believed was a planned, targeted hit - carried out in front of his two sons. A truly shocking and deeply distressing crime.

Thanks to determined and meticulous police work, the main suspect, Nana Oppong (pictured), was tracked down after fleeing the UK immediately after the killing. He travelled to Spain, before attempting to cross into Morocco hidden in the back of a lorry, using a fake Maltese passport. He was intercepted at Tangier Port and returned to the UK to face justice.

Oppong later stood trial for Powell’s murder - but his courtroom history added a dramatic twist. On three previous occasions, he had faced murder charges…and been acquitted every time. Would this be the fourth?

A gang of experienced criminals set out to pull off what would have been one of the biggest robberies in British history - targeting a priceless diamond exhibition inside London’s Millennium Dome. Armed with sledgehammers, a nail gun, and a speedboat for their escape, the plan was bold, fast, and meticulously organised.

But what the gang didn’t know was that detectives from the Metropolitan Police were already watching their every move. This is the story of the infamous Millennium Dome heist - an audacious plot that came within moments of success before being dramatically foiled.

In the late 1970's, LSD was big in Cambridge University's radical academic fringe, inspired by LSD pioneer Timothy Leary. He had a strong belief that the drug broadened the mind and could transform society and make it better for all of us. Henry Todd got very much into this scene and then started his own LSD lab, producing huge quantities of the stuff.

In the episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the undercover police operation 'Operation Julie' soon had Henry Todd and others making and selling LSD under surveillance, and how Todd later made the unusual move into high altitude mountaineering.

The story this week returns to Paisley, near Glasgow. It had been a great day for Laura Connelly as she caught up with some old school friends she hadn't see for a while at the bar, and at approaching 2am, she left to walk the mile or so to her home. But tragically, Laura didn't ever come home as she was attacked and murdered almost in sight of her home.

In this episode of the UK true Crime Podcast I look at just what happened to Laura and follow the police investigation to find her killer.

The story today comes from Swansea and looks at the case of Brian Whitelock, a man who was sent to prison for murder and manslaughter. Despite the appeals against his release from the families of his victims who feared he wasn't safe to be in the community, Whitelock was released from prison back to live in Swansea. Within a year of his release, Whitelock had killed again.

Cornwall isn't the sort of place you associate with large scale drug imports from South America, IRA terrorists and murder. But in this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we hear a story that involved all of these things. When detectives quizzed local farmer Ross Stone about cannabis being grown on his farm, they could never expected that he would reveal that two missing men - Brett Flournoy & David Griffiths were also buried there. But was he responsible for the killings?

Back in January 2024, I covered this story, but today I have just heard that one of the key people in the story was found dead in their prison cell last month. In light of this latest development, I’ve decided to re-release this episode today.

It was a happy occasion, Stanley Tawse's birthday. The family headed to the pub in Aberdeen for the afternoon, and Stanley left at about 6pm to head home and to phone his daughter in South Africa. But Stanley didn't call his daughter. And he didn't make it home that night. Just what had happened to Stanley?

When 17 year old Simon Everitt suddenly disappeared from near Great Yarmouth, concern quickly grew among those who knew him. But what began as a missing person case soon unravelled into something far darker. As the investigation continued, the disturbing truth emerged that Simon had been murdered by people within his own circle, and his body hidden in a remote rural location in Norfolk in an attempt to cover up the crime.

This episode explores the betrayal at the heart of the case, the efforts to conceal the truth, and how police uncovered what really happened to Simon.

Jean Windridge lived near Birmingham and was always immaculate in her appearance, with a real fondness for flashy costume jewellery which led to her gaining the nicknames among friends of ‘Diamond Lil’ and ‘Goldfinger’. She didn't wear expensive pieces, but loved the jewellery that she wore. At 78, Jean had a busy social life and lots of friends, being known locally for her kindness and sense of community. So when she was found murdered in her own home after an afternoon party at the local church, nobody could understand why anyone would want to hurt Jean. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I look at the circumstances surrounding the murder of Jean Windridge.

It was a normal Saturday night in Glasgow as mainly students headed to The Sanctuary nightclub. But while most were there to have some fun and enjoy time with their friends, there was one man there who was looking for something very different. Someone to attack.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I delve into the criminal history of Paul Bint, a serial conman known as the “King Con.” Bint repeatedly posed as high-status figures, such as barristers and senior officials, to manipulate victims, often targeting women and gaining their trust before exploiting them financially. With hundreds of offences and multiple prison sentences, his story reveals how confidence fraud relies on charm, deception, and psychological manipulation rather than complex schemes. It is quite a story.

For six terrifying years, a gang of robbers carried out over twenty raids on banks and Post Offices across Merseyside, stealing around £1.5 million. Armed, masked and highly organised, they spread fear among staff and communities whilst evading capture time and time again. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at how the gang operated, the impact on their victims, and how through great police work, the gang were brought to justice.

In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at two tragic cases where a normal night out at the pub, ended in devastating violence over minor issues. The killings of Jake Kemp and Liam Dent, both of whom lost their lives to total strangers, show how quickly situations can spiral out of control. I look at the events leading up to each killing, what happened on the night of the attacks, and the consequences faced by those responsible.

The story today is from Newcastle, in the north-east of England. Emma Golightly was very keen on internet dating and used it extensively - but not because she was looking for love, but because she was looking for money, by exploiting the men she planned to meet. And she certainly did this, telling some dreadful lies and causing terrible distress, as we will hear today...

It was a normal Friday just after 1pm when Lee Pomeroy boarded the train to London Waterloo with his 14 year old son, looking forward to spending the day together.

Instead, a minor disagreement inside a carriage spiralled into sudden, shocking violence. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, we explore how a routine journey became a scene of terror, the evidence that led detectives to the killer, and the devastating consequences of a few seconds of uncontrolled rage.

He was with his mum walking on the seafront in Saltburn-by-the-Sea when he disappeared seemingly into thin air after visiting the public toilets. With no confirmed sightings and few answers, Steven's disappearance is one of the UK’s most puzzling missing person mysteries. Just what did happen to Steven?

The story this week is from South Wales and is as shocking a story as I have ever brought to you on the UK True Crime Podcast. It is hard to comprehend that in the small town of Maesteg, lived a man with an obsession for the crimes of Fred & Rose West and fantasised about travelling the county abducting, assaulting and murdering innocent women. In this episode, we hear how this fantasy become a terrifying reality.

In this special episode, I revisit the murder of Vicky Hall in Felixstowe in 1999.

Today, serial killer Steve Wright was sentenced for Vicky’s murder, his sixth known killing. I break down the developments from court at the sentencing hearing, reflect on the police investigation and its unanswered questions, explore why Wright may have chosen to confess after so many years, and consider what this case means for the possibility of further undiscovered victims.

When a workplace affair ends, the fallout doesn’t stay private. Loyalties fracture, tension poisons the environment, and what was once whispered behind closed doors becomes impossible to escape. Careers, reputations, and mental health can all be collateral damage when personal betrayal collides with professional life.

In the story today from Norfolk, the end of an affair leads to one person looking for revenge and ends in the most shocking violence.

Janet Murgatroyd was just 20 when she was killed. A student at the University of Central Lancashire, and a part-time staff member with Lancashire Police, she had so much to look forward to and enjoy. But tragically, her body was found in the River Ribble in Preston after a night out in 1996.

Today I have re-released my coverage of her murder from June 2017 as nobody has still been convicted of Janet's murder.

Anyone with information can call Lancaster Police on 101.

Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 5555111.

Julia James, a 53-year-old police community support officer, was murdered while walking her dog in woodland near her home in Kent. The seemingly random and brutal attack shocked the local community and sparked a major investigation. This episode examines the events leading up to Julia’s death, the evidence that led police to her killer, and the court case that followed - a case that raised troubling questions about violence, vulnerability, and safety in everyday spaces.

During a beautiful summer, 15-year-old Camilla Petersen, a Danish exchange student, travelled to the Isle of Wight expecting a life-changing experience. Instead, her visit would end in tragedy.

All the data tells us that we are most likely to be harmed by those we know. But for most of us our real nightmares are about being snatched by a total stranger in the dark of the night when nobody is around to help us. This week on the UK True Crime Podcast from Yorkshire, this is exactly the terrifying crime at the heart of our story.

As you know, in the true crime world there might be an idiot or two....ok, maybe three...but in the nine years I have been involved in podcasting I have met some really lovely people. One of these is Mark, the co-host of the Seeing Red podcast and he is someone I always find myself chatting to at the bar late into the night at any event. He is always so generous with his knowledge and insights and is such a wonderful person and great company.

Mark has a brand new podcast launching today, Dead Famous. Here is the first episode of Mark's brand new podcast about the death of Caroline Flack. Please do take a listen and let me know your thoughts...

You may have listened to the 'True Crime Round Up' this year, where me and Stuart, host of the British Murders Podcast, talked about all things true crime once a month. Well, due to the popularity of this show we now release it every Wednesday on a separate feed and it is called the 'True Crime Catch Up'. You can listen every week on the usual podcast apps or you can watch us on YouTube. The link below will take you to Spotify, Apply and YouTube and if you enjoy the show, please do follow us there so we can continue to grow the show.

This week, we look at the shocking 1980 murder of John Lennon in New York which shocked the world. What followed raised uncomfortable questions that continue to surface after acts of extreme violence.

In this podcast, we examine the murder and the intense focus placed on The Catcher in the Rye, the book carried by his killer, Mark David Chapman. We explore how quickly media attention shifted from the crime itself to the idea that books, films, and popular culture can influence real-world violence, and whether that connection stands up to scrutiny.

The Ultimate Traitor explores the chilling true story of Robert Hendy-Freegard — the conman who posed as an MI5 agent and manipulated his victims through fear, loyalty and lies. A real-life game of trust and betrayal that echoes The Traitors, this episode examines how deception became a weapon — and how ordinary people were drawn into his control, with so many lives destroyed.

In the end he was just a Traitor, playing a game that nobody agreed to play.

Today I am re-releasing an episode I recorded in 2019 about Allan Grimson, a totally depraved excuse for a man who murdered at least two Royal Navy Sailors and it is speculated, up to as many as twenty others. The reason I have re-released this episode for you today, is because as you may have heard, the police announced last week that they have ended the investigation into the disappearance of Simon Parkes in Gibraltar - a man widely thought to have been another of Grimson's victims.

I don't think this story is widely enough known and so wanted to release it again as a tribute to the two men who were killed by Grimson - Nicholas Wright and Sion Jenkins - and to raise awareness in the hope that Simon's devastated family and friends can finally discover what happened to him.

The story from this week looks at a massive seizure of heroin and cocaine from a gang based in the north-west of England and rural north Wales. But what hit me is there is none of the drama we see in crime programmes on the television - it is a story of four men quietly going about their business under the radar, making money for themselves and causing untold misery in the communities where we all live. Depending on your view of the failure - or otherwise - of the so-called 'War on Drugs' then this story is either of real significance, or it doesn't really matter....

For Kenneth Bastow, from Yorkshire, it was his usual Friday night routine. A few drinks with his old pal at the pub to round off the week and put the world to rights. But this time as he waved goodnight to his friend as he drove away after dropping him home, he didn't know that his house wasn't empty. There was someone waiting there for him with deadly intentions.

It was the usual bus to college in Plymouth that 18 year old Alicia Eborne had caught so many times before. But this time, she had not made it to college or even been seen since leaving home as usual that morning - had she even made it to the bus? But one person knew exactly what had happened to Alicia. A man trusted by so many, but a man capable of a terrible murder...

I am again joined by Grace, host of the excellent RedRum Podcast as we talk about the murder of Michael O’Leary, a Welsh father who vanished after being lured to a remote location by his killer. We explore how an affair, a staged message, and an attempt to destroy evidence led investigators to uncover the truth behind this calculated crime.

It was such a minor event to happen, totally irrelevant in the scheme of things. But 26 year old Robert Thacker was believed to have been responsible, so his so-called friend decided he should be taught a lesson, and what he decided to do, is the stuff of our worst nightmares.

This week I am celebrating an amazing nine years of the UK True Crime Podcast. To mark this anniversary, I have released today the very first episode of the podcast and certainly one of the most shocking of the 500 or so I have released. It tells of how a young man,Tony Bushby, uses social media and incredible deception to commit the most dreadful murder of 19 year old Katie Wynter.

Elizabeth Baxter had lived in Plaistow, East London for all of her 77 years and was, as you can imagine, well-known and liked in the area. So just who had murdered her in her own home, leaving cash in the flat untouched - it seemed like a murder with no motive.
