Episode 25: The Julie Reilly Case, A Vulnerable Lady With A Big Heart

Episode 25 - The Julie Reilly Case, A Vulnerable Lady With A Big Heart In this episode we’ll be wondering why a lady with problematic health issues has missed a few important medical appointments.  Why the police only really have one suspect, and why trying to solve a murder case without a body is really not that common in Scotland. Her family is down in Ayrshire wondering where Julie is, so after 5 weeks it’s time to bring in the big guns and see what’s happened.

Episode 24: Archibald Hall, A Rubbish Raffles Who Turned His Hand To Murder

Episode 24: Archibald Hall, A Rubbish Raffles Who Turned His Hand To Murder In this episode we'll be calling for lights, camera, action and following the career of a wee Glaswegian boy from a broken home,  with tinsel town stars in his eyes, who becomes very used to seeing the inside of a prison, and by the time he dies he’s one of the UK oldest inmates. We’ll be doing a lot of motorway miles, so make sure you go for a pee before we leave. Also, wear your Sunday best as we’ll be visiting some fancy lodgings on the way.

Episode 23: Two Weddings, Two Funerals and a whole lotta drugs

Episode 23: Two Weddings, Two Funerals and a whole lotta drugs In this episode we’ll be digging out our wedding outfits, twice, whilst following the criminal career of Donald “Ginger” Forbes, a true illustration of a psychopath.  A guy who spent the bulk of his adult life in prison, and did the unthinkable, he got the last minute reprieve and managed to dodge the feel of the noose around his neck. He was once dubbed Scotland’s Most Dangerous Man, so it's not surprising he died in a hospital, handcuffed to the bed.   Visit our website, http://crimemostscots.com for more information.

Episode 22: The Fawziyah Javed Case; Babymoon Disaster or Honour Killing?

Episode 22: The Fawziyah Javed Case; Babymoon Disaster or Honour Killing? At the time we’re recording this episode  the Fringe Festival is in full swing in Edinburgh, so I thought I’d look at a case that involves tourists visiting the capital. We’re going back to September 2021, and this was supposed to be a “babymoon”, the young couple doing the touristy thing before 2 becomes 3, but in a tragic accident only the young groom comes off of one of Edinburgh’s natural beauty spots alive. The question is did the expectant mother slip and fall, or did she have a hand in falling to her death, killing not only her, but also the life of her unborn baby.  And, who had the phone that took the selfies?

Episode 21: Have (someone else’s) Card, Will Travel

Episode 21: Have (someone else’s) Card, Will Travel So, here we are the podcast has come of age, it’s 21, so for this episode I thought we’d look back on a thief’s career that started just after he left school, until his early twenties.  As it’s holiday time lets jet off back to the 1990s/early 2000, and like our wee boy of the pod travel in first class style.  This is the story of a serial swindler, who had Qatar Airlines first class taste, but only had a Ryan Air budget. But that wasn’t going to stop his lust to see the world, and party like it was 1999. By the age of 22 he’d be speaking to a journalist who wrote a book about the last 5 years of his life, and how he managed to fly so much he could have flown to the moon and back with frequent flyer miles.   Visit our website, http://crimemostscots.com, for more information.
