Serial Killer Steve Wright SENTENCED Over 1999 Victoria Hall Murder

More than 25 years after the murder of 17-year-old Victoria Hall in Felixstowe, serial killer Steve Wright has returned to court to confess to the crime. Already serving a whole life order for the 2006 Ipswich murders of five women, Wright was handed an additional 40-year sentence, but his sudden admission has raised serious questions. Why did he choose to speak now, what investigative opportunities were missed in 1999, and could earlier police action have saved lives? In this episode we examine the Victoria Hall case, the attempted abductions that preceded it, and the broader implications of Wright’s confession. We discuss potential additional victims, expert insight from Professor David Wilson, speculation surrounding unsolved cases, and the importance of responsible media reporting - particularly when victims are vulnerable. As always, we focus on accountability, context, and remembering the people whose lives were taken, not just the person responsible.

Have you Ever Wanted to Disappear?

What is the history of the Island of Pitcairn, its myths and realities? Born from the 1789 Mutiny, the mutineers, led by Fletcher Christian stumble across Pitcairn. Handily wrongly located on maps, this is their opportunity to escape the British Navy and disappear, today all Pitcairn families are descended from the mutineers and their Tahitian ‘wives’. But they were not a contented community, marked by violence and death, which are marked on the Island in place names. Abuse survivor Glenda, now living in the UK, paints a vivid picture of life on the Island, eating breadfruit, swimming, the unique language, the red volcanic dirt. But her memories are not all full of sunshine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Therapist

Who would you entrust your children with? How would you feel if you found out that the woman looking after your kids wasn't qualified to provide the therapy she claimed to be an expert in? In this episode, Sue Perkins and Katherine Denkinson meet Lucy and Rebecca, mysterious child therapists who moved to small towns in Ireland claiming to be therapists for disabled children.
