"The things I have done weigh heavily on my heart, on my head and my soul. A psychopath with a conscience - it's a joke really."Alexandra Morgan told her parents she was going on a spa break with a friend, but when she didn't pick up her children and dog when she should have done a few days later, her mum reported her disappearance to the police.

There is just smoke coming up.” It was two minutes into the call that he told the operator: “The thing is, I don't know where my partner is.... I went to bed early……”. As we hear so often on this podcast, everything was not as it seemed.  Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast: https://uktruecrime.com Join me at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrime Buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201 Sources: https://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/2440575.murdered-mum-is-mourned/ https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/local-news/jermey-found-guilty-fire-cover-up-4823333 https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/jul/06/alan-jermey-jailed https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1197332/Mother-strangled-set-jealous-boyfriend-planned-new-life-boss.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/surrey/8115130.stm 999: Killer on the Line?: Season 1, Episode 2 script | Subs like Script http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/surrey/8131059.stm https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/jealous-partner-guilty-of-strangling-his-lover-1730748.html

Jed Allen grew up in Didcot. But normality was something Jed was not accustomed to in his family upbringing as his mum suffered from alcohol and heroin addiction and all the issues that brings to family life. By 21 Jed was clearly suffering frustration at the way his life was working out and he became obsessed with Wolverine -  the fantasy creature who is a social outcast and loner facing an inner battle to retain his humanity with his desire for bloodshed. And then one day, Jed committed a terrible act of shocking violence....   Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

This episode of the UK True Crime Podcast comes from Morecambe, in north-west England.  One evening, 49 year old Antonio ‘Tony’ Marrocco didn't return home after a day working at his garage - which was most out of character. His wife called the police and when they arrived at his garage they found his body: he had been brutally murdered. And the body of his colleague, 29 year old Paul Sandham, was found shortly afterwards. A double killer was on the loose.... Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

When Rebecca Aylward went to secondary school near her home in Maesteg, South Wales, she met Joshua Davies and the pair quickly hit it off and became firm friends. Rebecca and Joshua were both academic, worked hard and were soon top of the class in their results. Soon the pair began to date, but then there were concerns about Joshua's behaviour. Concerns that continued to grow, but nobody could have predicted that Joshua was capable of extreme violence. And murder. Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

In Maybole, Ayrshire, Ahmjid Ismail and his family ran a grocer’s shop, known locally as Johnny’s. Newly released from prison and a newcomer to the village, John McGeechan thought that robbing this store would be an easy way to give him the money to buy his next heroin fix. But the robbery went very wrong with 34 year old Ahmjid losing his life after being stabbed repeatedly. And then it was discovered that McGeechan had killed before....

Everyone like John Hirst. So much so he was even known at his home in Majorca as 'Nice John'. He was found in all the right clubs and at all the events where the wealthy ex-pats gathered on the Island. Perma-tanned John lived in an expensive villa with his wife Linda and they enjoyed a fantastic lifestyle  with all the trappings of success with many exotic holidays, designer clothes and jewellery, a luxury motor boat and two top of the range cars – an open topped sports car for Linda and a top of the range Mercedes for John. But this apparent success was all based on lies and deception, and as the financial markets declined, John fled back to the UK knowing that everything was about to come crashing down, ruining the lives of many of his friends who had trusted him with their money.

Kenny Carter was a world-class speedway rider known to his fans as 'King Kenny'. He was box office for the sport - outspoken, cocky and talented. Loved by his supporters, this view wasn't shared by many of his peers in the sport who tended to feel the same as this rider when talking about Kenny: “I admired him 100% as a rider, but as a person, I had no time for him at all’.

Firefighters were called to a house fire in a small village, just north of Nottingham. They quickly extinguished the blaze but inside the house, tragically they found the body of mum of two, Jacqueline Bartlam. But Jacqueline had not succumbed to the flames or smoke inhalation, she had been brutally beaten and murdered before the house was set on fire. If that wasn’t shocking enough, detectives soon realised that the person who had killed Jacqueline was her own 14 year old son, Daniel... Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

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 a handwritten note,  signed in his own blood, about how he had made a pact with a demon called 'Lucifuge Rofocale'. According to black magic, this demon is in charge of Hell's Government and Treasury by order of Lucifer.  The pact he had signed was to murder six women every six months in return for financial reward, including winning the lottery...

Scott Tarrant had told his partner Rebecca that after the England match he would go around her house for the night. But by 8.41 when he still hadn't appeared, she texted 'I Hate You' and made other plans for the evening, inviting around her ex-boyfriend.

The story this week is from the north-east of England. Four teenage boys were found murdered in similar circumstances, but the police believed it was solvent abuse that caused their deaths and were unaware that there was a serial killer on the loose.

For 18 year old Katie Rackliff it was just a normal night out. She had recently split up with her boyfriend and her friends thought it would do her good to get out for the evening. But there was confusion at the end of the evening after the nightclub and Katie didn't go home with her friends as planned. Instead, she met a brutal and terrifying death. In this episode of the UK true Crime podcast I look at the terrible murder of Katie Rackliff. Writing Credit: Megan Grant.

Carol Taggart's 30 year old son Ross reported his mum missing. He explained that they had argued at the house they shared and his mum had stormed out and he was concerned as this was out of character. Despite numerous police appeals there were no positive sightings of Carol. But then three weeks later Carol's body was found at the holiday park where Carol had a caravan - the body was concealed under a caravan just two spaces away from Carol's. Just what had happened to Carol Taggart?

When Kenneth Noye faced trial for the murder of 21 year old Stephen Cameron, stabbed to death in front of his 17 year old fiancee Danielle Cable just by the M25 in Swanley, Kent, one of the witnesses was 40 year old Alan Decabral.

In the early hours of the morning, in Central Park in Plymouth, the bodies of Terry Sweet and Bernie Hawken were discovered lying just 200 yards apart in the park and it was clear that both had suffered a violent assault. Sadly, soon after the police arrived, Terry died from his injuries, aged just 64. Miraculously, Bernie survived the horrific attack, but his injuries were so severe that he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Just who had attacked these two men?  And why?

Last week on the UK true Crime podcast, I covered the murder of Suzanne Blamires who was killed by Stephen Griffiths in Bradford. Detectives linked this murder to other local missing people, including Susan Rushworth and Shelley Armitage. In this concluding episode, I look at how Griffiths admitted murdering Susan and Shelley, and examine other unsolved murders where Griffiths may have been responsible.

On the Friday, Suzanne Blamires went missing from her housing association home in the Allerton district of Bradford. Her family were immediately concerned for her welfare, but for the police Suzanne – or Amber as she was known on the streets - was a sex worker with a heroin habit and in a life that was often chaotic, they had little to go on. And by Monday Suzanne still hadn’t been found. But that morning, as the caretaker of a block of flats in Bradford watched his CCTV of the weekends activity, he saw to his horror Suzanne being brutally attacked....

This week, the Uk true crime podcast comes from the north-east of England, just by Durham. The A1 (M) is a busy motorway, and at 6.17pm on a summers day there were a few issues northbound due to an earlier fuel spillage. As the traffic slowed, none of the people in their cars patiently heading towards their destinations could have imagined that a 3.5 tonne lorry would not stop, and plough into the traffic, with terrible consequences.

The local pub near Cambridge were hosting a Halloween party. Chris and Rebecca West weren't planning to go, they fancied a quiet night in watching TV with a takeaway. A number of their friends were there and having a great time so they decided to go and it was a fantastic night. But everything changed after a game of pool, when it turned out that one man in that pub was carrying a knife, and shockingly, he was happy to use it.....

The international crime gang had planned everything, covered every detail. And as 33 year old Andrew Cole stood on the deck, he realised that his whole life depended on what happened in the next few hours. Andrew was listed as crew on the manifest, but his role was a very clear one – it was up to him to ensure the safe receipt, passage and transfer of the cocaine to a crew who were going to come out from the UK to take delivery of it near the English Channel. But as the Kahu reached the end of its journey from Barbados as it cruised past Guernsey, Andrew thought he heard a noise – or was it just his imagination playing tricks on him? He then clearly saw two vessels approach and to his horror he realised that is was the 42 metre Border Force cutter ‘Searcher’ along with the 19 metre coastal patrol vessel ‘Alert’. The gang had been rumbled....

20 year old Anna Kenny was walking to George Square in the centre of Glasgow to get a bus home when she was taken from the street and never seen alive again. Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder. In 2021, along with co-author Chris Clark, I released a book, 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair where we suggested that Sinclair was responsible for the murder of Anna Kenny. Can it just be coincidence that Anna's friend who was with her on the night she went missing married Sinclair's brother-in-law Gordon Hamilton? And why did Sinclair and Hamilton argue so badly on the night ahead of the wedding that the two never spoke again - was this about Anna's murder? My book, 'Gone Fishing' hasn't been available for a while but now it is back available to buy on Amazon, on kindle & paperback, and you can hear more about the terrible solved - and unsolved - crimes of Angus Sinclair.

CCTV in Edinburgh catches almost every bus journey. 38 year old Suzanne Pilley was captured by CCTV one morning as she got off the bus and made the short journey to her office in the centre of Edinburgh. But although Suzanne made it to the office building, she never made it to her desk. Just what had happened to Suzanne?

This week on the UK True Crime Podcast, a Serial Killer. When Police Constable David Haigh was asked to deliver a summons to a poacher, it was quite a routine procedure for a police officers covering such a rural area. However, when the officer failed to return and couldn’t be contacted, his colleague PC Mick Clipston was sent out to find the missing officer. As he approached the tree lined, picnic area known as Norwood Edge he came upon a police car in a clearing at the side of the road with the doors open. As he got closer and parked he could see somebody was laid next to the car. To his shock and great distress, it was the dead body of his colleague, with a single bullet wound in the middle of his forehead. And more murders would follow.....

Carradale is a village on the east coast of Kintyre, off the west coast of Scotland and looking over the west coast of the Isle of Aaron in the Firth of Clyde. The harbour at Carradale is sheltered and looks out at the deep waters of Kibrannan Sound and then the towering mountains of Aaron. It is a beautiful, peaceful spot and if you look carefully, you will see a small memorial plaque on the harbour wall, commemorating the crew of the FV Antares, who lost their lives at sea. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at just what happened to the FV Antares off the coast of Scotland.

It was just another normal day at the Harvey Nichols flagship store in Knightsbridge.  As the day was drawing to a close at about 7.50pm, 22 year old Clare Bernal was finishing up her shift in the beauty department. With only 10 minutes to go there were a few customers still milling around, and Clare and her colleagues were looking forward to the end of another day. Nobody paid much attention to the man who approached Clare from behind and when a colleague realised what was happening, it was too late....

David Smith was married to Maureen Hindley, sister of Myra. On one night when Myra asked him to walk her home, he could never have imagined the scene of utter horror he would see at a normal house on the outskirts on Manchester. David Smith later described Saddleworth Moor – the scene of such horror – as: ‘Hell’s garden, an abyss where devils play and souls can never rest.

This week, the UK True Crime podcast is from Cambuslang, about 6 miles southeast of the centre of Glasgow, as I look at a terrifying double murder. The body of 36 year-old taxi driver Cathy McChord was found with her body crammed into the boot of the car, with the meter still running. Cathy’s cigarette lighter, inhaler and car keys placed in a straight-line. Suggesting a ritualistic element to the crime. Two months after Cathy’s murder another body was found when 48 year-old Elizabeth Walton was found in the grounds of her daughter’s school. After declining a lift home, Elizabeth was attacked and then strangled as she walked back home from an evening out. When police found Elizabeth’s body they found ritualistic and symbolic acts had taken place, similar to those of Cathy. The police knew they were searching for a double killer.....

Surgeon Anthony McGrath had developed a passion for antiques from his surgeon father, growing up in a beautiful Georgian Stately Home in County Meath. He amassed quite a collection for himself as an adult, but then one day, he called Bedfordshire Police to say that thieves had stolen over £180,000 worth of his precious collection.

On Sunday I watched the excellent live show, The Makings of a Murderer, with ex-detective David Swindle. This show is touring for the next year and will be at a theatre near you soon - I highly recommend buying a ticket and finding out much more about some of the investigations in which David has personally been involved, as well as other high-profile cases. After the show. David kindly agreed to chat with me about his past career and what he is currently doing, especially with helping the families of victims of crime abroad. David spent over 30 years in the police service, mainly in the CID.  His work as Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) saw him managing high profile and challenging UK cross border investigations including the Glasgow Airport Terrorist Investigation and the murder of Polish student Angelika Kluk in Glasgow. He also formed Operation Anagram to investigate serial killer Peter Tobin’s involvement in other crimes.

Husband and father, 41 year old Kalvant Singh had been out for the evening at a pub in Saltburn before arriving back in Middlesbrough by taxi.

When Debbie Linsley boarded the London Victoria train that early afternoon at Petts Wood Station, she had everything to live for - life was good. But when just over half an hour later the other passengers left the train at Victoria, Debbie didn't. It was the British Rail guard who found her body. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at just what happened to Debbie Linsley on that fateful day.

Whitechapel, East London. Famous among many True Crime fans for the Jack the Ripper Murders where women on the very fringes of society were incredibly vulnerable to a murderer like Jack. In our modern-day story today, two women at the very edge of modern society - one selling sex, one selling counterfeit DVDs -  go missing from the streets of Whitechapel within weeks of each other. Are the disappearances connected?

The National Crime Agency (NCA) received intelligence that a gang in Kent were potentially obtaining dangerous guns which they planned to sell on the streets of the UK.

It was a dark, winters morning as the 10 men group carried out maintenance on the railway line near Tebay. The men wore their safety helmets to block out the noise of their machinery and there was no look-out as the line was closed in both directions. So when the 20 tonne wagon came hurtling down the track towards them at 40 miles per hour it was completely unexpected. As one fellow worker put it, "This was the worst nightmare for any rail man - an un-manned wagon coming straight at you out of the pitch darkness." Four men were killed instantly that morning and others injured in the tragedy. Today, I tell their story.

Harry was found downstairs in the utility room. He had been shot once, through the back, piercing his heart and killing him almost instantly. Nicola was upstairs in the main bedroom. She had been shot 4 times, three times down stairs, and a further shot as she had made her way into the bedroom, presumably to escape. The killer had placed the duvet over her head before carrying out the final fatal shot. Just who had killed this young couple in their own home in East Sussex?

It was late on a Thursday evening when neighbours heard the alarm and called the Fire Brigade, who arrived and made the terrible discovery of a dead body in the flat. This person was soon identified as 29 year old Andrea Waddell, but just who would have any motive to kill such a kind and gentle person as Andrea?

Southport Sailing Club, like many others around the UK, is a fun place to be a member where people enjoy the sailing and the social side which comes as part of the club. But in the story this week, Paul Longworth - the Commodore of the club - is increasingly cruel to his wife Tina, and openly nasty about her at the sailing club and with friends at work. On the day he celebrated his 37th birthday at the sailing club, Tina was found dead at their home, she was just 29. Had Tina taken her own life?

Affairs often ruin lives and destroy families, but when the affair is between a man and his daughter-in-law, the mother of his grandchild, the feelings naturally run very deep. And this is the case in the story today from Stowmarket, near Ipswich in the east of England. But as the family tried to come to terms with what had happened, they were rocked again by the most shocking events....

Who do you trust in life - who do you really trust? If you are a small business you have to trust your bank which funds you as you grow. But in this episode of the UK True Crime, we look at a Senior Banker who treated small business owners with utter contempt, using them to fund his lifestyle of sex parties and foreign holidays as hard working business owners lost all they had worked so hard to achieve....

So how many times have you been on public transport and somebody is behaving badly near you? Has it made you anxious, concerned or terrified? In the story today, we look at a bus travelling from Victoria in Central London to Lewisham. One passenger is agitated and angry and makes all 37 passengers feel uncomfortable. Just the one person on the bus, 56 year old Herbie Williams, spoke up to call out this behaviour, and in this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I tell Herbie's story....

The peace and remoteness of The Fens, in the east of England is a big draw to many. And it was to Connie and Janice Fenn, who enjoyed their life of solitude breeding whippets. So just why would anyone want to brutally murder them for no apparent reason? In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast we examine just what happened....

Colleagues of 28 year old Samantha Eastwood were concerned when she failed to turn up for her night shift at the hospital in Stoke on Trent. When she had left them at 07:45 that morning she had been her normal self and this was quite out of character.

Last week, we looked at the murder of 26 year old Jong-Ok Shin, who was walking home from a Bournemouth nightclub and just metres from the door of her home when she was attacked and she tragically died from her injuries. There were no witnesses to this crime. Shortly afterwards, local drug addict Omar Benguit was arrested and convicted of murder and over 20 years later he is still in prison. But was he guilty of this dreadful crime? He says no and many believe his conviction to be unsafe. But if Benguit wasn't responsible just who was - there are a number of suspects.....

Here’s a preview of Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper. Over a single week in February 1942, a depraved serial killer stalked London’s dark and WWII bomb-ravaged streets, hunting for victims in the city’s bars and clubs. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten. Using new research from police files, court transcripts and exhaustive genealogical studies, season 2 of Hallie Rubenhold’s Bad Women reconstructs the lives of the women The Blackout Ripper brutally attacked and murdered and examines why their deaths were swept from view.

This week from Swansea, South Wales. Danny Dykes had been a very promising rugby player until a succession of knee injuries forced his retirement whilst still only in his 20's. He stayed in the game as a physio, but one day disappeared, with his car found in the Brecon Beacons shortly afterwards. As detectives investigated his disappearance, they found details of a shocking secret life.....

When his wife didn't catch up with him in Soho after her meeting at the BBC, David Chenery-Wickens reported her missing to police. It was most unlike Diane not to let her know where she was, just where could she be?  But Diane didn't come home and five months later her body was found near her home in East Sussex..... 1, Please support my sponsor UK True Crime Podcast listeners get 15% off their first month at: www.yourheights.com https://www.yourheights.com/  code: Truecrime 2, Buy tickets for my live show in Manchester in October https://www.murdermiletours.com/liveshow.html?fbclid=IwAR3c-Ml3b0N9QKTu1Y7QYKMdBcHwyIMUdPlSyZ3Wo6TU4H737kWlYb7t-TA 3, Please buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about the life and crimes of Angus Sinclair https://mangobooks.co.uk/products/gone-fishing 4, Other referenced sites www.patreon.com/uktruecrime https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime www.uktruecrime.com 5, Sources https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/mar/02/murder-chenery-wickens-wife https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/mar/02/murder-chenery-wickens-wife https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/4166334.david-chenery-wickens-guilty-of-murder/ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/spiritualist-minister-david-chenery-wickens-found-guilty-of-murdering-wife-n2r7ssqgxz2 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7971952.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7868120.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7858786.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7840125.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/sussex/7513561.stm https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4928027/Spiritualist-minister-David-Chenery-Wickens-guilty-of-murdering-wife-timeline.html

This week, we head to the north-west of England and a local theatre group. The theatre is a serious business here and the productions put on are of a very high quality, but it is also very sociable. In the episode this week, two couples from the group begin socialising, but then Chris Linaker and Jenny Cupit begin a very passionate 16 month affair, where they explore their sexual boundaries.  But as we have seen so often on the UK True Crime podcast, an affair which is about sex for one party and love for another, often ends badly - and this week, we see a shocking and violent outcome. 1, Please support my sponsor UK True Crime Podcast listeners get 10% off their first month at www.BetterHelp.com/TRUECRIME.  2, Buy tickets for my live show in Manchester in October https://www.murdermiletours.com/liveshow.html?fbclid=IwAR3c-Ml3b0N9QKTu1Y7QYKMdBcHwyIMUdPlSyZ3Wo6TU4H737kWlYb7t-TA 3, Please buy my book 'Gone Fishing' about the life and crimes of Angus Sinclair https://mangobooks.co.uk/products/gone-fishing 4, Other referenced sites www.patreon.com/uktruecrime https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime www.uktruecrime.com 4, Sources http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/270492.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/264675.stm https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/feb/03/davidward http://www.troubleandstrife.org/articles/issue-39/bad-press/ https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/5306260.i-wish-to-rebuild-a-life-for-my-children/ https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/5306260.i-wish-to-rebuild-a-life-for-my-children/ https://www.thefreelibrary.com/INNOCENCE+KILLED+BY+ENVY%3B+Blameless+Kathryn+was+a+victim+of+sordid...-a060423324

Set in the north-west corner of Herefordshire, it lies close to the Welsh border. On a hot summers night, a couple went to bed. As they did so, they could not begin to imagine that there was an intruder lurking in the shadows, and the horror he planned to inflict after he broke into their home.....

It was early on a summers morning in the English Channel, not far from Exeter, when the fishermen pulled up their nets. They were heavy and they were excited by what they may have caught. They found themselves looking at the fully clothed body of a middle-aged man and immediately called the police. The difficulty the police experienced was that there was no ID on the man at all, just an expensive rolex watch on his wrist. Would this help them find the man and just what happened to him?

Do you remember what it was like to be 18? All those hopes and dreams that lay ahead of you?

At CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father. The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below. Buy your copy here:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881

Imagine boarding a flight thinking you’re going on holiday, but instead you get taken hostage by Saddam Hussein.  It might sound far-fetched, but in August 1990 this really happened to the passengers and crew of British Airways Flight 149.  What followed has been dubbed the most shocking government cover-up of the last thirty years, and now there’s a new podcast about it. In this new podcast you’ll hear directly from the hostages - the people used as human shields by the Iraqi regime. Listen to episode one here today. For episode two and beyond, you should go and search for The Secret History of Flight 149 in your podcast app. If you’re listening on Apple podcasts, then it’s also available ad-free on the Crowd Stories channel.

Felixstowe is a small town on the east coast of England where some suggest that nothing much happens.

If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that.  This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything.  From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series.  Listen today at http://wondery.fm/UKTrueCrime

It was 2009 in Walthamstow, when he first struck. In the early hours of the morning he attacked and raped a stranger. This was followed by two more terrifying attacks of increasing ferocity.

Nineteen eighty was going to be Dorothy Stratten’s year. Playboy’s Hugh Hefner thought it might even be her decade. She was just 20 years old, the girl next door with the shy smile and whispery voice who didn’t know her own beauty. But who was Dorothy really? And how did her rise to fame ultimately lead to her death? This is a six-part series about love, sex and murder in 1970s Hollywood when glitter pants and roller skates were all the rage, and the Playboy mansion hosted the biggest party in town.

It was in August 1974, that the first members of the IRA Active Service Unit later named 'The Balcombe Street Gang' touched down in Heathrow. Between October 1974 and December 1975, they carried out at least 40 bomb and gun attacks in and around London, leading to one description of them as 'the most violent, ruthless and highly trained unit ever sent to Britain by the Provisional IRA. In the concluding episode of this two-part story, we continue to tell the stories of those who were the victims of this gang, until their capture in December 1975.

It was in August 1974, that the first members of the IRA Active Service Unit later named 'The Balcombe Street Gang' touched down in Heathrow. Between October 1974 and December 1975, they carried out at least 40 bomb and gun attacks in and around London, leading to one description of them as 'the most violent, ruthless and highly trained unit ever sent to Britain by the Provisional IRA. In this podcast, we look at those people who were victims of this gang.

We have all seen the films of the glamour - as some may see it - of being a trader along with the huge financial bonuses. But when things go wrong, losses can accelerate rapidly. This would normally lead to a trader losing their job, but this week on the UK True Crime podcast, I look at what happened in London when a trader tried to disguise their huge losses.

The three friends were excited about the summer Regatta they were about to take part in as they set sail from the harbour in Bembridge, Isle of Wight, heading for Dartmouth on the south-west coast. It was a pleasant evening, with benign conditions and the three men were all expert sailors. But they didn't arrive in Dartmouth.

In our celebrity culture, how we look has never been more important. Some people go to amazing lengths to achieve the look they want, but other 'normal' people - like you or me - take products to help them reach their goals. In today's episode of the UK True Crime podcast, we look at what can happen when we are unaware of exactly what we are taking. And who profits from this - as there is no doubt that someone also profits from the misery caused.

Deptford sits on the River Thames in South-East London. It is a bustling place - well, normally - and was home to 69 year old Noel Brown. When he didn't answer his phone for a couple of days his daughter, Marie, went to his home to see what was wrong. But then she also didn't answer calls from her daughter. Why?

Harry and Megan Tooze lived on a remote farm in the Vale of Glamorgan and enjoyed a quiet, private retirement. But one day in the summer of 1993, that life was shattered as both were killed in what was described as a "brutal, macabre execution".

Living close to your neighbours is not always easy. We can't choose who lives near us and we can sometimes not particularly like how they choose to live their lives.

But nobody could have predicted the shocking conclusion to this neighbours dispute.

We see it on Facebook and other social media all the time just how perfect the lives of our friends/family are, don't we.  But of course, it isn't true. We just see what they want us to see and have no reality about what really happens in their lives. Which is why it was so shocking when Paul Crymble from a small village in Northern Ireland was murdered in the summer of 2004. He lived a quiet life with his wife and children and had no ememies - just why was he killed?

Every town in the UK has some less desirable estates, and Stratford Upon Avon is no different. Beyond the tourists flocking to the place of Shakespeare's birth, life on the Clopton estate was pretty miserable for most. The Erskine family lived on the estate and were a hard-working, kind and respectful family. But they soon become a target of abuse for some of their less savoury neighbours. And on 3 January 1996, events took a terrible turn....
