The Racist Murder of Anthony Walker | UK Hate Crime Case
3w ago00:59:23Tap to summarizeIn July 2005, 18-year-old Anthony Walker was attacked in a Liverpool park in a crime that shocked the UK and became one of Britain’s most devastating modern hate crime cases. Anthony was intelligent, ambitious, and preparing for university when a night out with friends turned into something unthinkably violent. As the investigation unfolded, detectives uncovered a brutal attack driven by racism — and a case that would spark national outrage, soul-searching, and calls for change. This week on Seeing Red we examine the life of Anthony Walker, the events leading up to his murder, the police investigation, and the lasting impact his death had on his family and the wider community.

Transcribe →Constance Marten & Mark Gordon: The Death of Baby Victoria
4w ago01:04:36Tap to summarizeThis week on Seeing Red, Bethan takes the reins solo to untangle the disturbing and deeply tragic case of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon. In early 2023, the aristocrat-turned-fugitive and her convicted rapist partner vanished with their newborn daughter, Baby Victoria, triggering a nationwide manhunt that gripped the UK. As the couple travelled across the country attempting to evade police and social services, questions mounted: why were they running, what were they hiding, and where was the baby? What followed was one of the most unsettling and heartbreaking investigations in recent memory. Bethan explores the backgrounds of both Marten and Gordon, the strange journey that led them underground, and the devastating discovery that shocked the nation. As always, listener discretion is advised. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Murdered by a Man in a Clown Mask? The Carol Wardell Story
May 501:23:37Tap to summarizeIn 1994, Gordon Wardell went on TV claiming a gang of men in clown masks had attacked him, tied him up, robbed a building society… and murdered his wife, Carol. Which is… a lot. Carol Wardell was a devoted sister and daughter, quietly getting on with her life — not the kind of person you’d expect to end up at the centre of something this violent. So how does someone like that end up strangled and left at the side of a road? This week’s episode looks at the life at the centre of it all… and the huge, messy, very public version of events that followed. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Murder by Remote Control
Apr 2801:04:18Tap to summarizePainkillers. Cold medicine. Morphine, if you're Mark! Something to take the edge off a headache. In 1982, people across Chicago did exactly that — and some of them never got back up. This week on Seeing Red, we’re talking about the case that changed everything: the Chicago Tylenol murders. Cyanide-laced capsules. Random victims. A killer who never had to meet the people they murdered — just quietly tamper with bottles and put them back on the shelf. But it didn’t stop there. Because once the fear was out in the world, someone else saw an opportunity. We also look at the copycat killings that followed — including a case where “random” poisonings were anything but, and innocent people died to cover up a far more personal murder. This is murder without warning, without motive you can see, and without a suspect we can name. So… how safe is that bottle in your bathroom cabinet? www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Mr Zig Zag: The Disappearance of Jo Ramsden
Apr 2101:07:08Tap to summarizeIn April 1991, 21-year-old Jo Ramsden disappeared from the Dorset town of Bridport, a place she knew well and where her routine rarely changed. When she didn’t return home, concern quickly turned into a desperate search. Witnesses reported seeing Jo with a man in a distinctive zig-zag patterned jumper — a sighting that would become central to the case. Despite strong suspicions around a known offender, no one has ever been charged with Jo’s disappearance. More than three decades later, the identity of “Mr Zig Zag” — and what really happened to Jo — remains unknown, although we have strong suspicions... www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Nanny Doss: The Giggling Killer
Apr 1501:24:13Tap to summarizeThis week on Seeing Red, we meet a woman who looked like she’d stepped straight out of a 1950s love story — but left a trail of bodies behind her. Nanny Doss was charming, chatty… and deadly. With a fixation on love and happily-ever-afters, she approached marriage the same way Bethan approaches an all you can eat buffet — aggressively and without hesitation — each one ending in a strangely convenient death. But it didn’t stop there. Her victims weren’t just the men she married — family members, too, found themselves in the path of her quiet, calculated cruelty. Using poison as her weapon of choice, she slipped death into everyday life with chilling ease, all while keeping that unsettling, ever-present smile. In this episode, we unravel the bizarre, darkly absurd story of a woman who treated murder like a means to an end… and sometimes, disturbingly, like a joke. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Priceless: The Murder of Michael Griffiths
Apr 701:10:16Tap to summarizeMichael Griffiths dealt in antiques — rare, highly sought-after pieces. But in 2013, he became the target of something far less refined: a gang of burglars chasing a quick payday. What followed wasn’t just a robbery gone wrong — it was brutal, calculated, and left behind a trail of evidence as chaotic as the crime itself. This week, we dig into how greed turned deadly… and why some people will kill for fast cash. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcribe →Naomi Smith: Murder in Nuneaton
Mar 3101:00:35Tap to summarizeIn 1995, 15-year-old Naomi Smith left her home in Nuneaton, Warwickshire — and never returned. What followed was a case that would shock a community, expose uncomfortable truths, and leave lasting scars on a town that thought it was safe. In this episode, Bethan explores Naomi’s life, the events leading up to her murder, and the investigation that followed — asking how something so brutal could happen in broad daylight, and whether justice ever truly feels like enough. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/seeingredtw www.seeingredpodcast.co.uk Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears: www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag www.justthrivehealth.com/CX Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Seeing Red, we head to Cheshire to look at the heartbreaking murder of 15-year-old Alex Rodda. Found dead on a quiet country lane in December 2019, Alex’s case would expose a grim story of teenage violence, control, and a killing that shocked the local community. We unpack who Alex was, what happened in the lead-up to his death, and how the investigation pieced together the final movements of a boy whose life ended far too soon. It’s a devastating case with some deeply unsettling details, and one that left a family, a school, and a town asking how this could happen.
