Serial Oversite

Episode 2 - The Camden Ripper

In this episode of Serial Oversite, we examine the chilling case of Anthony Hardy — a man who became known as The Camden Ripper. Between 2000 and 2002, Hardy murdered at least three women in London, dismembering their bodies and disposing of them near his Camden flat. But before these brutal crimes came to light, police missed multiple red flags that might have stopped him sooner. We’ll trace Hardy’s disturbing history, the lives of the women he targeted, and the critical failings in the system that allowed him to go unnoticed for far too long. ⚠️ Please note: This episode contains descriptions of violence and may be distressing to some listeners. I want to apologise for the delay in getting this episode out — and for the sound of my voice! I was still recovering from the flu when recording, but I didn’t want to wait any longer to tell this important story. Thanks for bearing with me and for sticking around.

Episode 1 - The Grindr Killer

Stephen Port looked like an awkward loner searching for connection online — but behind that façade lay a predator who drugged and murdered four young men he met on dating apps. Police accepted his lies, ignored vital evidence, and labelled the deaths as accidents, allowing him to keep killing. In this episode of Serial Oversite, we unravel how repeated oversights, prejudice, and missed warnings turned avoidable tragedy into serial murder — and ask the haunting question: how many lives could have been saved?
