Seeing Red A True Crime Podcast

In our season 13 premier we take a look at the life and crimes of 74-year-old debauched deviant Paul Flowers. Flowers first came to the public's attention in 2013 when he was blamed for the near-collapse of the Co-operative Bank - he was the bank's chairman from 2010 to 2013. Some bad decisions were made during his tenure and it's not hard to see why - Flowers was often turning up to work followin...

Fifty years ago this week, sisters Katherine and Sheila Lyon, aged 10 and 12 respectively, vanished into thin air. What started out as a fun day at the mall, soon turned into every parent's worst nightmare when the girls failed to arrive home for their 4pm curfew. The tight-knit community of the girls' hometown of Kensington, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., rallied together in a desperate...

This week we head to Brighton, and to the mid 2010's, as we take a look at the murder of 46-year-old payroll manager and adored friend and family member, Jillian Howell. When Jillian took over as the head of the University of Brighton's payroll department in 2015, she was intent on change. The department needed overhauling and she was just the woman to do it. David Browning, a then 49-year-old pay...

If you worked for the Bank of England incinerating battered and bruised banknotes that were being taken out of circulation, would you be tempted to take one? Or ten?! What about ten thousand? This is exactly what a crack team of employees did at the Bank of England's incinerator plant at Debden in Loughton, Essex between 1988 and 1992. Demonstrating that there is no 'I' in 'team', this gang of cri...

In 2016, 21-year-old Debbie Leitch and her mother, Elaine Cl...

This week we take a look at the concept of coincidences in true crime... Our first case takes us to the Aviemore Station Hotel in the Scottish Highlands. When fire ripped through the hotel in 1950, it ended in tragedy. The community was rocked to its core. And when history repeated itself forty five years later, people were left asking whether this was merely a coincidence, or whether something mo...

This week we head to Singapore, a gleaming metropolis known for its towering skyscrapers, lush greenery, and bustling harbour. John Martin Scripps, originally from Letchworth in Hertfordshire, was charm personified. Tall, handsome and charismatic, he exuded a cool, calm exterior that pulled people in.

This week we head to Germany, and back to the 1980's, as we begin the episode in the middle of a court case, which takes a dramatic turn when someone pulls a gun...

We left part one in February 2019, just after Shamima Begum had been discovered by a British journalist in a refugee camp in Syria.

What unfolded over the following months and years divided public opinion and reached the upper echelons of British governm...

This week we head to Bath, a picturesque city in the south west of England. Synonymous with its Roman-built baths, the eponymous city is a tourist hot-spot and is regularly voted one of the most desirable places to live in the country. But in the 1990's, it was better known as the city where women dare not walk the streets alone at night. For ten long years, a predator lurked the city's affluent s...

This week we head to Newcastle as we take a look at a crime so chilling, it could have been ripped straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel. It features everything you would expect from our favourite purveyor of literary intrigue – a family dispute over a will, an unsuspecting, unassuming would-be assassin, and a plan so audacious, that the culprit might easily have escaped justice had...

This week we head to the US and back to the year 2000 as we take a look at the murder of 31-year-old Mike Williams. When Mike set out on a hunting trip on Lake Seminole in Florida on the morning of 16 December 2000, he could never have foreseen the truly barbaric events that were about to unfold that day. A betrayal most foul was unfolding before his very eyes... If you would like to  support us o...
