In February 2001, 67-year-old Alf Wilkins was killed in a fire deliberately set inside his Grimsby flat. But this wasn’t a random act of violence - it was the culmination of months of torment at the hands of his own neighbours.
Despite being acquitted of an indecent assault charge in November 2000, Alf remained a target. The locals refused to believe his innocence, fueled by the hysteria of the News of the World's infamous 'name-and-shame' campaign. Branded as something he was not, Alf was harassed, threatened, and ultimately, his life was taken in an act of brutal, misplaced vigilante justice.

In the early hours of August 5, 2000, Julie Tennant disappeared without a trace from her parents' home in Ballymena, Co Antrim. As days passed with no sign of the 21-year-old, a massive search effort was launched, but hopes of finding her alive faded with each passing moment.
Just over two weeks later, the grim reality came to light - a shallow grave concealed Julie’s remains, bringing the missing person investigation to a devastating conclusion. But who was responsible for her death, and what led to her brutal fate?

I’m joined by Brian and Cameron Santana in this interview episode. The American brothers are a duo with a unique skill set - Brian, an English professor and Cameron, a police officer - who joined forces to crack one of North Carolina’s most infamous cold cases.
On April 15, 1973, 19-year-old Virginia Olson’s body was discovered near the University of North Carolina-Asheville, sparking a decades-long investigation filled with twists, dead ends and chilling theories. For 50 years, law enforcement pursued the truth, sifting through connections to other crimes and a notorious serial killer.
Brian and Cameron’s meticulous research, blending academic analysis with investigative expertise, sheds new light on this haunting case. Join us as we discuss their journey, the obstacles they faced and the shocking revelations uncovered in 𝘈 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘴 - the book that finally brings long-awaited answers to a case that has remained unsolved for over half a century.

In September 2003, 17-year-old Shafilea Ahmed vanished from her home in Warrington, Cheshire, leaving behind a worrying trail of unanswered questions. A bright and ambitious student, she had dreams of independence, but those dreams clashed with the expectations placed upon her by her family.
For years, her disappearance remained a mystery, until a shocking revelation finally exposed the horrifying truth. What really happened to Shafilea that night? And why did it take nearly a decade for justice to be served?
By covering Shafilea's story, I hope to raise awareness of the devastating reality of so-called "honour-based" abuse and the urgent need to challenge it. If you or someone you know is at risk or are experiencing it currently, please seek help from one of the below resources:

In December 1994, 33-year-old Dr Michael Meenaghan was in his kitchen making a cup of tea when a single shotgun suddenly tore through his window, striking him in the chest. He somehow managed to dial 999 but collapsed before he could say a word.
When officers arrived, they found him slumped on the floor, the phone still hanging off the hook, surrounded by a pool of his own blood.
Over 30 years later, his murder remains a complete mystery. No weapon, no suspects, and no clear motive - just one chilling question: Who wanted Dr Meenaghan dead, and why?

When Robert Wilson went to work at the Thornton & Ross pharmaceutical plant in Linthwaite, Huddersfield on the evening of January 16, 2020, he had no idea that he would never return home.
The 53-year-old was carrying out a routine security check when he confronted two teenagers trespassing on the premises. What followed was a frenzied and senseless attack, in which Robert was subjected to an act of unimaginable violence.
This harrowing case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of knife crime and the dangers posed by individuals willing to commit acts of extreme violence.

In June 1992, 18-year-old Katie Rackliff was heading home after a night out in Farnborough, Hampshire, when she was savagely attacked and murdered. The case sent shockwaves through the community, but as the years passed with no arrests, it seemed justice might never come.
Then, four years later, a shocking revelation turned the investigation on its head. The killer wasn’t just someone the police never suspected - they would go down in history as the UK’s youngest-ever female murderer.

In March 2007, 71-year-old Hilda Brown was found dead in her home, the victim of a brutal attack. Her neighbour, who had positioned himself as her trusted helper, soon fell under suspicion, but the case was anything but straightforward.
Just two days before her murder, Hilda had signed a new will, making him the sole beneficiary. What first appeared to be an act of kindness quickly unraveled into something far more sinister, leading to not one, but two trials before justice was finally served.

When Nicole Waterhouse and Karen Browne attended a dating event in York, they couldn’t have known that one of the men they met would soon change their lives forever.
Jeremy Green, an ex-Army officer with a dishonorable discharge, went on a couple of dates with Karen before reappearing unexpectedly at the two women’s flat in October 2013 under a seemingly innocent pretense. His true intentions, however, were anything but harmless.
What followed was a brutal and prolonged assault that left Nicole dead and Karen forever scarred, both physically and emotionally. This harrowing case serves as a chilling reminder that the capacity for violence can be hidden beneath a seemingly innocent façade.

In May 1982, 48-year-old Brenda Venables seemingly vanished from the farmhouse she shared with her husband, David, in rural Worcestershire. Her husband claimed she had been struggling with her mental health and suggested she may have taken her own life, leaving behind a shroud of uncertainty and heartbreak.
For decades, Brenda’s disappearance remained a mystery, until a shocking discovery was made in July 2019 after some routine maintenance on the farm’s septic tank revealed a horrifying truth that had been hidden in plain sight for nearly 40 years.

But behind closed doors, she endured the harsh reality of a controlling and abusive relationship. On that fateful night, Neomi’s life was tragically cut short by the very person who claimed to love her, sending shockwaves through the close-knit Scottish community.

In 1952, Ash Vale railway station became the scene of a shocking and brutal crime. Geoffrey Charles Dean, a railwayman working the evening shift, was closing up for the day when he was stabbed in the back and left for dead.
The motive appeared clear - money was stolen from the station - but the crime's ruthless execution left the local community shaken. The investigation was a swift one, as within 24 hours, police had apprehended the man responsible - a fellow railway worker.

When 47-year-old Tracey Woodford went out for a few drinks in April 2015, she could never have known it would be her final evening. A chance meeting in a Pontypridd pub led to her crossing paths with a local man who harboured a dark and violent secret.
What followed was a chilling and brutal crime that left detectives piecing together the disturbing truth. Tracey’s story remains a haunting reminder of how a seemingly ordinary night can take a devastating turn.
