In December 1997, the streets of Blackpool were shaken by a gruesome discovery. The headless torso of Christopher Hartley was found discarded in the bins of a local hotel - a chilling and tragic end for the 17-year-old.
As the investigation unfolded, it became clear this was no random act of violence. The trail led authorities across borders, ending with the capture of his killer in Ireland.

In December 2005, the body of 30-year-old Annie Börjesson was discovered on Prestwick Beach in Ayrshire, Scotland. While police quickly ruled her death a tragic drowning, unsettling clues and unanswered questions began to emerge.
Annie, a bright and independent Swedish woman, had no apparent reason to end her life. Yet, inconsistencies in the investigation, strange surveillance footage, and troubling theories surrounding her final days suggest something far more sinister may have occurred.

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.

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.

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.

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. If you are experiencing domestic abuse or are concerned that someone you know is, visit ydom.co.uk/resources-for-everyone for support and help.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Nicole Duke was the kind of teenager every parent hopes for - trustworthy, responsible, and well-behaved. She had never caused her parents any trouble, but on Christmas Eve 1975, after a rare request to stay out late, Nicole never came home.
That night, she had attended a disco in Eastbourne, where she was last seen in the company of a boy, with whom she shared a kiss. Hours later, on Christmas Morning, her lifeless body was discovered in a seaside shelter along the promenade.
Nicole had been sexually assaulted and murdered, but a crucial clue, a broken neck chain found at the scene, led investigators to the killer just two days later.
This story is one of the most shocking crimes the town has ever seen, yet it has been criminally underreported.

In June 2018, however, a twisted and sadistic plot to take his life was set in motion by the one person he trusted the most - his girlfriend.
With the help of two local brutes, she lured Steven to a park where a vicious assault began. But the horror didn’t end there.

Eve Stratford seemed to have it all - a promising modelling career, a rock star boyfriend, and a future full of possibilities. But on a cold March day in 1975, her life was brutally cut short when an unknown attacker took everything from her in her own home.
Just six months later, 16-year-old Lynne Weedon, rushing to beat curfew after a night with friends, took a fateful shortcut through a dark alley. She never made it home. Ambushed, assaulted, and left for dead, her case has remained unsolved for decades.
For nearly 30 years, these two horrific crimes remained unconnected, until a revolutionary DNA discovery in 2004 linked their fates. Their killer is still at large, and the mystery remains, but one undeniable truth binds them together in a way neither could have imagined.
If you have any information about either of these cases, please contact Crimestoppers anonymously by phoning 0800 555 111 or via their website at crimestoppers-uk.org. Alternatively, to speak with someone from the Met Police directly, please call 101.

Julie Harrison had always dreamed of becoming a mum, so when she finally welcomed her daughter Maisie into the world, her heart overflowed with joy.
To those on the outside, they were the perfect mother-daughter pair, inseparable in every way. But behind closed doors, Julie endured a private hell at the hands of her partner - Maisie's dad.
In a courageous act of defiance, Julie left him in November 2009, determined to build a better life for herself and Maisie. But just days after Christmas, when Julie turned up at the former family home with her 4-year-old daughter for an access visit, a devastating tragedy unfolded.
What happened next claimed the lives of all three family members, leaving behind a story of love, loss, and unimaginable sorrow.
