Each season comprises ten episodes, with a two-part special at the end focusing on one of the UK's more notorious murderers.

Jason Nelson | The Murder of Jordan Maguire
In this episode, I tell the story of Jason Nelson and Jordan Maguire.
On May 26, 2013, 32-year-old Grenada national Jason murdered 20-year-old Jordan by stabbing him three times with a knife.
Jason fled the UK and headed for Grenada before settling briefly in Trinidad. He was eventually arrested five months later after CCTV images of him from the day of the murder were released.
Once extradited back to the UK, Jason was tried at Luton Crown Court and found guilty of Jordan's murder.
Judge Michael Kay handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years on October 22, 2015.

Thomas Shanks | The Murder of Vickie Fletcher
In this episode, I tell the story of Thomas Shanks and Vickie Fletcher.
On May 7, 1998, 47-year-old former SAS soldier Thomas Shanks murdered his ex-girlfriend Vickie Fletcher whilst the 21-year-old was on a night out with her friends in Castleford, West Yorkshire.
After using an AK-47 to fire multiple shots at Vickie, Thomas fled to Scotland, where he was arrested the following day.
His first murder trial ended in May 1999, with the jury unable to reach a verdict. A subsequent trial occurred in early 2000, with Thomas being found guilty of murder on April 19.
Mr Justice Jowitt handed him a life sentence, and he received a minimum term of 18 years in 2008 when the law changed regarding minimum tariffs.
As of November 2017, Thomas Shanks is a free man, with some sources suspecting that he has returned to his native Scotland.

Nicola Edgington | The Manslaughter of Marion Edgington and Murder of Sally Hodkin
In this episode, I tell the story of Nicola Edgington, Marion Edgington and Sally Hodkin.
On November 4, 2005, 25-year-old Nicola Edgington stabbed her 60-year-old mum Marion to death.
After pleading guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in October 2006, Nicola was detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.
In September 2009, Nicola was discharged to a housing association self-contained flat.
On October 10, 2011, Nicola repeatedly spoke with emergency services personnel in an attempt to get herself sectioned.
Later that day, she purchased a knife from ASDA and unsuccessfully attempted to murder 22-year-old Kerry Clark with it.
She then stole a knife from a butcher's shop and stabbed and killed 58-year-old Sally Hodkin, whom Nicola had chosen to attack randomly.
Judge Brian Barker handed Nicola Edgington a life sentence with a minimum term of 37 years on March 4, 2013.

Customer Reviews
From a brit and a yank…
Me and my girlfriend have listened to your podcasts for the last two summers, as we travel North to Alaska from Florida.
In 2019, on our first trip North together, there were two mysterious deaths, in South Dakota, three murders in British Columbia, and an accident that resulted in a death in Alaska, all of which took place within hours of us driving along our travel route.
All of the events were explained or solved by the local police, but having only met my girlfriend a few months earlier, and this being our first long road trip together, by the second event, i was sleeping with one eye open :)
Keep up the great podcasts!!!
Black eyes matter
Meh
🤔Is Stuart arrogant!?(･_･;?
I’m such a simp for a UK accent I honestly don’t know. Has Stuart been talking down to us lowly Americans this whole time❓❔❓I suppose ignorance is bliss because I’ll happily digest as much belittling as Stuart dares to dish out. I enjoy this podcast so much with the only caveat being there’s a finite amount & eventually I’ll run out. Poor me. Every reviewer praises his straightforward approach to storytelling but I lament the episodes not being longer. Thank god for the waffling. Anywho, the “arrogant” question was just in response to a review you read that really tickled you & I had to comment on it. I’m saddened when listeners don’t respond well to hosts. Not for the sake of the host mind you, I’m sure they can take it, but for the listeners sake who obviously isn’t getting my level of enjoyment out of the podcast. I’ve listened to my share of TrueCrime podcasts, many of which I’ve unsubscribed to but Stuart…yours is a keeper. Thanx & keep up the amazing work. 👍🏿
