E37 | The Princes in the Tower

E37 | The Princes in the Tower

In the summer of 1483, two boys vanished behind the walls of the Tower of London. Edward the Fifth, twelve years old and uncrowned, and his nine-year-old brother Richard were last seen at the windows, growing fainter, until they appeared no more. Their uncle took the throne as Richard the Third. For five centuries the blame has shifted — Richard, Buckingham, Henry Tudor — while pretenders claimed to be the lost princes and bones turned up beneath a staircase. Today a sealed urn in Westminster Abbey may hold the answer, untested by choice. Ryan Wolf looks through history's coldest veil.

E36 | Special | Mystery in the British Isles: Part Three - Bible John

Between 1968 and 1969, three women — Patricia Docker, Jemima MacDonald and Helen Puttock — were each murdered after a night at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom. All three were beaten and strangled, their handbags taken, their bodies left near home. The press named the unknown killer "Bible John," after the scripture-quoting stranger who shared a taxi with Helen and her sister Jean — the one witness who ever truly saw him. Despite Scotland's largest manhunt, fifty thousand statements and a face built from memory, he was never caught. In this final episode, Ryan Wolf looks through the thinnest, cruellest veil of all.

E35 | Special | Mystery in the British Isles: Part Two - A Light Left On in West Cork

On the night of 23 December 1996, French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier was beaten to death outside her isolated holiday cottage in West Cork, Ireland — chased down her own lane and killed with a rock and a concrete block. Fifty injuries; a body left exposed so long the time of death was never fixed; a bloodstained gate that vanished from police custody. A local journalist, Ian Bailey, became the prime suspect and was convicted in France in his absence — but never charged in Ireland, where he denied it until his death. Decades on, new DNA testing offers fresh hope.

E34 | Special | Mystery in the British Isles: Part One - The Unsolvable Case

On a January night in 1931, an insurance agent named William Wallace was lured across Liverpool by a phone call from a stranger — "Qualtrough" — to an address that didn't exist. While he searched, his wife Julia was beaten to death in their own parlour. Yet his suit was spotless, the weapon vanished, and the timing was almost impossible. Convicted of her murder, Wallace became the first person in English history freed on appeal because the evidence simply couldn't support the verdict. No one else was ever charged. Every clue points two ways at once — the case crime writers still call unsolvable.

E33 | Horror on St Andrews Street

On the last night of February 2000, in the small Hunter Valley town of Aberdeen, a miner named John Price was stabbed to death in his own home — a death he had predicted aloud to his workmates the day before. But the murder was only the beginning. Over the hours that followed, Katherine Knight, a skilled abattoir worker, used the trade she'd spent thirty years perfecting to do the unthinkable to his body. This episode traces the forensic evidence, the warnings everyone missed, and the historic sentence that followed — and asks what it means when horror hides in plain sight.
