    A Shocking Murder: Episode 388
    Apr 30 2024
    37 year old nurse Lisa Skidmore wasn’t feeling very well so didn't go to work and stayed home.

    Lisa’s mum Margaret decided to head to Lisa’s house on her way to the shops to see how she was as they lived very close to each other. She let herself into Lisa house just like she has so many times before on this ordinary day. But there was nothing ordinary about this day.

    Not long before, 55 year old Leroy Campbell had climbed into Lisa’s first floor bedroom using a ladder. Unbeknown to Lisa, three days earlier whilst wandering the local area, looking for someone to attack, he had clocked that Lisa lived alone and had identified her as someone he would attack.

  • The Late Night Visitor: Episode 387

    The Late Night Visitor: Episode 387
    Apr 24 2024
    When the knock at the door came shortly after midnight, Carol & Keith Slater initially tried to ignore the noise, assuming it was just kids messing around or maybe someone at the wrong address.

    But as the knocking continued, Carol told Keith he should pop down and see who was at the door in case it was related to their two young children who were staying with Grandparents that night. It might be the police, maybe there had been an accident.

    Minutes later, Keith was dead - at just 33 years old - and so many lives changed forever.
