    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
    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.

    S15E03 | Emma Faulds (Monkton, South Ayrshire, 2019)
    Sep 18 2024
    Emma Faulds was a woman who loved her friends, her work, and her loyal dog, Maverick. But in April 2019, everything changed when she was last seen with someone she trusted - a man she had known for almost two decades. When Emma failed to show up for work on April 30 and left her beloved West Highland Terrier unattended at home, her family knew something was wrong. That day, her parents reported her missing, sparking a massive police investigation. For six long weeks, authorities pieced together the puzzle using CCTV footage, mobile phone data, and forensic evidence. The search eventually led them to a remote corner of Galloway Forest in Dumfries and Galloway, where Emma’s body was finally found in June 2019.
