    Thirty Years Without Answers: The Unsolved Murder of Melanie Hall | Ep. 285

    In June 1996, 25-year-old Melanie Hall disappeared after a night out in Bath, Somerset. She had spent the evening with friends during the opening weekend of Euro '96, but in the early hours of Sunday, June 9, she vanished without a trace. There was no confirmed explanation for where she had gone, and despite an extensive police investigation, Melanie's whereabouts remained a mystery for more than thirteen years. When human remains were discovered beside the M5 near Junction 14 in 2009, the investigation took a devastating turn. The remains were identified as Melanie's, and detectives were faced with the task of uncovering what had happened during those missing years. A series of arrests, renewed appeals and forensic developments followed, including the discovery of a potentially significant partial DNA profile on the blue rope used to wrap her remains. But despite decades of investigation, crucial questions about Melanie's final movements and the identity of her killer remain unanswered. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I examine the disappearance and murder of Melanie Hall, the investigation that followed, and the search for answers that has continued for thirty years. We look at the last confirmed sighting of Melanie inside Cadillacs nightclub, the discovery of her remains beside the M5, and the forensic evidence detectives are still hoping will help solve this cold case. Above all, we remember Melanie as a daughter, sister and friend whose life was taken far too soon, and whose family are still waiting for justice. If you have any information about the murder of Melanie Hall, please contact Avon and Somerset Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    True Crime Catch Up - October 2026

    True Crime Catch Up is back with a brand-new episode, as I sit down with Stuart Blues, host of the British Murders podcast, for episode two of our new monthly series. If you haven't listened before, it's a chance for the two of us to get together and chat about different aspects of true crime, from individual cases to our own experiences of researching and presenting them. It's a slightly different format from our usual podcasts, with a more relaxed conversation, a few personal reflections and, inevitably, a few laughs along the way. Stuart looks at the fatal tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the disturbing murder of vulnerable man Michael O'Donnell, who was exploited and killed in his own home, and the tragic case of Reece Radford, who lost his life after stepping in to help a teenage girl. Meanwhile, Adam explores the fatal 1987 car crash involving actor Matthew Broderick in Northern Ireland, as well as the bizarre story from Scotland of Neil Young (not that one), whose dispute with a colleague over WhatsApp messages escalated into a violent confrontation. I release new episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next story on Tuesday.
