The Neighbour: Episode 386
It was late - almost midnight - by a quarry near the forest.
The police had arrived as a car had been reported for driving in an erratic manner. The woman was clearly very uncomfortable and didn't want the officers to look inside the two suitcases.
The bodycam is startling as an officer opens one of the bags. There is an audible sharp exhale of breath when what he is looking at hits home. The officer says in both horror and astonishment: "What the f***."

The Fell Runner: Episode 385
Lauren Jeska was a fell runner.
As a transgender athlete, she had been asked to provide evidence of hormone levels after historical complaints to UK Athletics that she had an unfair advantage competing in women’s events because she had been born a man.
The policy of the governing body required the athlete to take a blood test, but she took exception to this and feared being unable to compete.
Lauren saw this as an attack on her life and decided to take drastic action.

The Crime Writer: Episode 383
John Warrington was interested in making money and had built up a portfolio of several commercial premises and two houses. But when market conditions took a turn for the worse, he was soon in massive debt and his life was spiralling out of control. He needed urgent results before he lost everything.
John's solution was to write a crime thriller - sure, an unusual choice. When the publishers weren't interested and time was running out before he lost everything, he decided to roll the dice one last time by using the storyline of the novel in his real life...

The Predator: Episode 382 (part 2/2)
21 year old Libby Squire, who was studying philosophy at Hull University, had been out with her friends that Thursday evening. They had been drinking around one of their mates houses before heading out. But at the end of the night the bouncers had not let her in the nightclub, The Welly, as they thought she was too tipsy. Nothing unusual here, many of us have been there - so her friends put her in a taxi and paid the fare to ensure she got home safely.
But Libby didn't make it home.
This week we discover the horrible truth of just what happened to Libby.

You are truly amazing I love your compassionate stories and how sad and well you tell your empathetic tales how sad humans are !
interested in true crime…
and am interested in the u.k., (NOT the royal family) but this guy thinks he’s clever, cute and funny…sadly, he’s none of these things…i thought we had all the idiots here in the u.s….i was wrong…you have this guy…
I like it, but.
Taking a break from this one. I’m not a big fan of listening to victim statements. They are personal accounts that were written for the judge and jury. I’d be devastated if a podcaster published my vs verbatim. I don’t need to listen to all that very private, distressed info. I also struggle at times with with the host’s accent. This is not a blame, it’s just a lot of work. This is my problem.
