This week on Seeing Red, Bethan tells the stories of Owen Dunn and Daniel Baird — two young men killed in separate knife attacks, years apart, but bound by the same devastating reality.

Bethan explores the circumstances surrounding their deaths and the unimaginable aftermath faced by the families left behind. But this episode isn’t just about loss — it’s about what came next.

From grief came action. Owen and Daniel’s families channelled their anger and heartbreak into foundations set up in their sons’ names, determined to reduce knife crime and protect other families from experiencing...

This week we're digging back into the archives to revisit a case that's haunted us since we first covered it in November 2024.

The case takes us to Newcastle as we examine 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 it not been for some dogged detective work.

Duration: 01:00:58

In this special bonus episode, we chat to former prison officer, and long-time listener, Oscar. He answers our questions about life on the inside... Everything you ever wanted to know about prison life but were too afraid to ask. It's all here!

In 2024, Albert Alfonso and Paul Longworth opened their home — and their hearts — to a young Colombian porn actor named Yostin Mosquera. What began as a friendship built on trust and desire ended in an act of staggering brutality.

Mosquera repaid their kindness in the worst way imaginable. This week, we unpack the horrific betrayal that left two men dead, a community reeling, and a global manhunt underway.

It’s a story of lust, lies, and lethal violence — a reminder that sometimes evil doesn’t break in through the window… it’s already sitting on your sofa.

When 38-year-old mum-of-three Sarah Thomas said yes to an impromptu meet-up with a friend, she couldn’t have known she was stepping into the final hours of her life. A strange sequence of events conspired against her that day, events that would lead her on a path with only one destination - death.

When 27-year-old Lynda Spence vanished from the streets of Glasgow in 2011, few could have imagined the horror that lay behind her disappearance. Lynda was a skilled con artist, weaving a web of lies and deceit that eventually caught up with her in the most brutal way imaginable. What followed was a story of greed, vengeance, and unimaginable cruelty — a crime so disturbing it would haunt Scotland for years to come.

In December 2003, 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe was waiting for a bus on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast when he vanished in broad daylight. His disappearance sparked one of Australia’s largest investigations - a desperate search that gripped the nation for nearly a decade. When the truth finally emerged, it revealed a chilling story of a predator hiding in plain sight, a family’s unrelenting fight for justice, and a community forever changed.

Join us as we tell the story behind the headlines - the abduction, the investigation, and the devastating case that inspired a nationwide child safety movement.

When Edward “Eddie” Forrester vanished from his Blackpool home on 1 September 2023, it was clear something was very wrong.

Within days of his disappearance, police found worrying signs inside the flat below his… signs that something violent had happened, and that someone was desperately trying to cover it up. As detectives followed a trail of CCTV, phone data, and a white van that travelled far beyond Blackpool, the search for a missing man began twisting into a far darker investigation — one that would expose secrets on a quiet street and lead to a discovery miles away that no one was...

When British couple Joanne and Robert Hall bought a crumbling French château, they dreamed of restoring it into a luxury haven. But behind the shutters and sprawling grounds, tensions simmered — money troubles, isolation, and the slow unravelling of a marriage far from home. One night, after too much wine and too many arguments, everything came to a tragic end.

Brace yourself for one of the most haunting and heartbreaking stories you’ll ever hear on Seeing Red.

In the quiet Devon village of Newton Poppleford, Judith Law and her brother Richard lived side by side for decades — two ordinary lives bound by blood and silence. They were the neighbours everyone knew of, but no one really knew.

Then, on a freezing January morning in 2025, Richard made a phone call that would turn a sleepy village into the centre of a national nightmare.

This week, we step inside the Law family home to unco...

In the early 2000s, a predator was stalking the quiet towns and villages that circle London — communities linked not by proximity, but by terror. Over twelve months, women across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Hertfordshire were attacked in their homes, in parks, and on suburban streets. The press would call him “The M25 Rapist.”

In this episode of Seeing Red, we uncover the crimes of Antoni Imiela — a seemingly ordinary family man whose violent attacks left police baffled and women afraid to walk alone. We’ll trace how DNA evidence finally exposed him, the shocking scale of his crimes, an...

When police were called to a quiet West London flat in June 2024, they found 70-year-old Rita Fleming dead in her bathtub — fully clothed. Her partner, Clifford Cowen, insisted it was a tragic accident. But something about the scene didn’t add up.

In this episode of Seeing Red, we uncover the disturbing truth behind what really happened in that flat — a story of control, cruelty, and the lengths one man went to hide the evidence of what he’d done.

In August 2015, a vintage Hawker Hunter jet performing at the Shoreham Airshow failed to complete a loop-the-loop manoeuvre — crashing onto the busy A27 below. Eleven innocent people were killed, and sixteen more were injured in one of the UK’s worst airshow disasters. In this episode, we explore how a day of family entertainment turned into chaos and carnage, the investigation that followed, and the controversial trial that raised serious questions about accountability and aviation safety.

Lenny Scott was a respected former prison officer — firm but fair, the kind of man who commanded a room without raising his voice.

We are BACK with Season 14, and Bethan is back too!

In September 1978, 13-year-old paperboy Carl Bridgewater was brutally murdered while delivering newspapers in the West Midlands. His senseless death shocked the nation, and the police investigation that followed would become one of the most controversial in British legal history — leading to wrongful convictions, decades of appeals, and still, after more than forty years, unanswered questions about who killed Carl.

We’re taking a short end-of-season break (apologies for not giving you a heads-up last week!), so this week we’re revisiting one of the most striking episodes from the Seeing Red archives.

This one explores two harrowing cases rooted in the dangerous world of chemsex. They’re dark, disturbing, and every bit as relevant now as when we first covered them. Even if you’ve listened before, it’s the kind of episode that stays with you — and worth hearing again.

And here’s the news you’ve been waiting for: Bethan is BACK! Season 14 launch...

Guess what?! I'm BACK! And this time, I am joined by the one and only Grace Cordell from REDRUM!

In this episode we discuss two shocking crimes from 1989. In Tunbridge Wells, a young woman’s life was torn apart by a brutal attack. Seven months later and 55 miles away in Shepherd’s Bush, a tortured genius's life was cut short in the most harrowing of circumstances.

Join us as we discuss these truly harrowing cases.

I think this is one of the saddest and cruellest episodes we have ever done...

In 1939, 23-year-old Joe Arridy was executed in Colorado for a crime many believe he didn’t commit. With the mental capacity of a child, Joe was an easy target for investigators eager to close a brutal case. But how much of his so-called confession was his own—and how much was fed to him? In this episode, we explore Joe’s short life, the controversial trial that sealed his fate, and the lingering questions that still cast a shadow over his execution.

In November 1996, a routine Ethiopian Airlines flight left Addis Ababa… but it would never reach its intended destination. What began as an ordinary journey quickly spiralled into chaos at 30,000 feet, leaving passengers and crew facing unthinkable terror in the skies.

This week, we explore the story of Flight 961 — a case that shocked the world, tested the limits of survival, and raised chilling questions about what really happens when control of an aircraft is lost.

A case that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about love, loyalty, and trust.

They had everything — wealth, privilege, a Beverly Hills mansion — but behind closed doors, the Menendez family was rotting from the inside out. In 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez turned their parents’ living room into a crime scene that shocked America. Was it cold-blooded greed? A desperate act of survival? Or something far darker than anyone imagined?

In this episode of Seeing Red, we unravel the twisted path from country-club perfection to shotgun blasts in the night — peeling back the lies, the lavish lifestyles, and the secrets that tore one of California’s richest families apart.

In 1971, devout churchgoer, doting father, and seemingly mild-mannered accountant John List calmly murdered his entire family - his wife, his mother, and his three children - in their New Jersey mansion. He then vanished without a trace, leaving behind a chilling confession letter and a perfectly staged crime scene where the bodies lay undiscovered for nearly a month.

What drove this "respectable" man to such horror? And how did he manage to disappear for 18 years, starting a brand-new life while his crimes faded into cold case infamy?

This episode...

In the quiet coastal town of Sligo, Ireland, a chilling darkness unfolded over just 48 hours in April 2022. Two kind, well-liked men — Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee — were brutally murdered in their own homes. What connected them? They were both openly gay, both targeted through dating apps, and both victims of a twisted and calculated predator.

In this episode of Seeing Red, we explore the horrifying details of these hate-fuelled killings, the community left shattered in their wake, and the manhunt that revealed a disturbing pattern of violence and deception. This case sparked outrage across Irel...

It was an ordinary school day—until it wasn’t.

Twelve-year-old Nikki Conroy should have been safe within the walls of her classroom. Instead, a stranger walked in, armed with a knife and intent on violence.

What followed was a terrifying attack that left one child dead, several others traumatised, and an entire nation asking: how could this happen in a school?

In this episode, we unravel the chilling events of that March afternoon in 1994 at Hall Garth School in Middlesbrough. We look at the man who brought horror into a place of lear...

In this harrowing episode we uncover the deeply disturbing case of William and Zachary Zulock — a seemingly picture-perfect couple from Georgia who adopted two young boys, only to exploit and abuse them in the most vile ways imaginable.

Behind their carefully curated social media presence was a world of unthinkable depravity. The Zulocks weren’t just unfit parents — they were predators, using their position of trust and protection to commit unspeakable crimes. As the investigation unfolded, what authorities discovered would horrify even the most seasoned detectives and leave a community in shock.

Folie à deux, or “madness of two", is a rare psychological phenomenon where delusion is shared between two closely connected people. Think siblings. Think twins.

50-year-old Simon Vickers was the very definition of a devoted father. He lived in a modest suburban semi just outside of Darlington in County Durham with his long-time partner, Sarah Hall, and their 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. Friends described him as hands-on, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his only child.

So why then, on the evening of July 5th, while Sarah stood at the stove cooking spaghetti Bolognese for her family, did Simon drive a kitchen knife eleven centimetres into Scarlett’s chest?

Why would a loving father turn into a killer in the blink of an...

We originally covered this case way back in 2022 when Bethan went solo while Mark was on holiday. Fast forward three years, and there is so much more that has come out since.

This week we both dive into the the case of the Long Island serial killer.

When the remains of ten bodies were found in late 2010 and early 2011, detectives were faced with the haunting prospect that they were hunting a serial killer. Years of frustration followed as the investigation moved at a sluggish pace but then in 2023, a year after Bethan recorded her episode...

In a quiet Florida neighbourhood, three members of one family were found dead in their home. Behind the tragedy lies a story of obsession, betrayal, and a descent into darkness that no one saw coming. This is the Amato family murder case… and nothing about it is what it seems.

This week, in a special listener-written episode, we head back to the late 1990's, and to the medieval city of Chester, as we recount the final hours of father of two Alan Morris.

On 30 December 1998, Alan had been out with his partner, Jane Rowe, and their friend, Nigel Jones, enjoying a few drinks at a local pub.

During an altercation at a Chinese restaurant at approximately 11:30pm, Alan and Jayne argued briefly. That argument continued when they got home. As Jayne went upstairs for 30 seconds in the early hours of 31 December, Alan was brutally stabbed...

In this episode, we dive into the harrowing true story behind author Alice Sebold’s 1981 rape and the decades-later revelation of a devastating miscarriage of justice. Sebold, best known for her memoir Lucky and the novel The Lovely Bones, identified Anthony Broadwater as her attacker, leading to his conviction in 1982. However, Broadwater always maintained his innocence.

This episode examines the long-term impact on both Sebold and Broadwater, raising critical questions about memory, systemic racism, and the justice system’s failures — and what it means to confront truth years after a crime.

...

In this episode, we examine the shocking 2014 murder of beloved teacher Ann Maguire, who was fatally stabbed by a student during a lesson at a Leeds school. We explore the background of the attacker, the warning signs, and the impact this tragedy had on the community.

Emily Jones was a bright, happy, much-loved child. She was innocently enjoying the sunshine with her father when her life was stolen in a moment so brutal, so sudden, and so senseless, that it shook the entire nation to its very core.

But what followed only deepened the outrage. The woman responsible for the attack was a mentally ill foreign national with a long history of violent behaviour and disturbing psychiatric issues. She was known to...

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 following all-night cocaine and ketamine benders. He was in no fit state to be running a bank and when a sex worker filmed him in...

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 payroll administrator in the department, immediately took a disliking to his new boss. In time however, the pair became close...

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.

In 2016, 21-year-old Debbie Leitch and her mother, Elaine Clarke, moved there from Leeds, with Elaine's three other children.

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.

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

News of the discovery of one of the 'Isis 4' shocked the nation and spread like wildfire. And soon, journalists were queuing up to interview her.

What unfolded over the following months and years divided public opinion and reached the upper echelons of British government, as they strived to solve the question on everybody's lips: 'How do you solve a problem lime Shamima Begum?'.

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 it not been for some dogged detective work.
