  • Revisited - Who Killed Janet Murgatroyd?

    Revisited - Who Killed Janet Murgatroyd?
    Jan 31 2026

    Janet Murgatroyd was just 20 when she was killed. A student at the University of Central Lancashire, and a part-time staff member with Lancashire Police, she had so much to look forward to and enjoy. But tragically, her body was found in the River Ribble in Preston after a night out in 1996.


    Today I have re-released my coverage of her murder from June 2017 as nobody has still been convicted of Janet's murder.


    Anyone with information can call Lancaster Police on 101.

    Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 5555111.

    Terror in the Woods : Episode 480
    Jan 27 2026

    Julia James, a 53-year-old police community support officer, was murdered while walking her dog in woodland near her home in Kent. The seemingly random and brutal attack shocked the local community and sparked a major investigation. This episode examines the events leading up to Julia’s death, the evidence that led police to her killer, and the court case that followed - a case that raised troubling questions about violence, vulnerability, and safety in everyday spaces.

Living in the UK myself and being fascinated by true crime, this is exactly the podcast I need to hear about it. Well done guys!

Brilliant show!

I'm new to this podcast and pleasantly surprised. As many "fans" of the genre - I'm not sure if fans is the right word - I find true crime fascinating, I detest the "exciting" delivery style on many a Netflix documentary that glamourises the crime and/or perpetrator.

In contrast, this podcast looks at at the details of the crimes covered in a much more measured tone and Adam always takes time to remind the listener of the victims and their loved ones.

He praises and admonishes the police as appropriate to the specific case. This is unusual as many I have heard will make excellent police work sound surprising.

I love the musical and historical context given at the start of each episode.

The advertisements were a bit of a shock as I usually listen to audiobooks and podcasts without them but I'm steadily working my way through them so it can't be that off-putting!

I first came across this podcast on Spotify which was great for me but finding it here just makes me want to listen to every episode again!
I highly recommend if you are interested in true crime but prefer a short summary of cases, most episodes are 20 ish minutes so they're great for snapshots of events. Very easy listen!

A brilliant addition to my week

one of the best podcasts I've listened to in a long time. truly gripping.
