Seeing Red A True Crime Podcast

50-year-old Simon Vickers was the very definition of a devoted father. He lived in a modest suburban semi just outside of Darlington in County Durham with his long-time partner, Sarah Hall, and their 14-year-old daughter, Scarlett. Friends described him as hands-on, affectionate, and utterly devoted to his only child. So why then, on the evening of July 5th, while Sarah stood at the stove cooking spaghetti Bolognese for her family, did Simon drive a kitchen knife eleven centimetres into Scarlett's chest? Why would a loving father turn into a killer in the blink of an eye? What darkness was simmering beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary home? In this episode, we peel back the layers of this devastating family tragedy as we attempt to answer these questions.

We originally covered this case way back in 2022 when Bethan went solo while Mark was on holiday. Fast forward three years, and there is so much more that has come out since. This week we both dive into the the case of the Long Island serial killer. When the remains of ten bodies were found in late 2010 and early 2011, detectives were faced with the haunting prospect that they were hunting a serial killer. Years of frustration followed as the investigation moved at a sluggish pace but then in 2023, a year after Bethan recorded her episode, there was a breakthrough when a seemingly respectable family man was charged with seven of the murders.

This week, in a special listener-written episode, we head back to the late 1990's, and to the medieval city of Chester, as we recount the final hours of father of two Alan Morris. On 30 December 1998, Alan had been out with his partner, Jane Rowe, and their friend, Nigel Jones, enjoying a few drinks at a local pub. During an altercation at a Chinese restaurant at approximately 11:30pm, Alan and Jayne argued briefly. That argument continued when they got home. As Jayne went upstairs for 30 seconds in the early hours of 31 December, Alan was brutally stabbed to death outside the house. Just who was responsible for his murder? And why would anyone want to execute a loving family man in cold blood? Join us as we attempt to unravel what really happened on that fateful night.

In this episode, we dive into the harrowing true story behind author Alice Sebold's 1981 rape and the decades-later revelation of a devastating miscarriage of justice. Sebold, best known for her memoir Lucky and the novel The Lovely Bones, identified Anthony Broadwater as her attacker, leading to his conviction in 1982. However, Broadwater always maintained his innocence. This episode examines the long-term impact on both Sebold and Broadwater, raising critical questions about memory, systemic racism, and the justice system's failures — and what it means to confront truth years after a crime. The excellent ITV drama Mark mentions in this episode, Undeniable, is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. The series can also be purchased on Apple TV.

This week we head north, to Bolton, as we cover one of the most heart-breaking cases in recent history. Emily Jones was a bright, happy, much-loved child. She was innocently enjoying the sunshine with her father when her life was stolen in a moment so brutal, so sudden, and so senseless, that it shook the entire nation to its very core. But what followed only deepened the outrage. The woman responsible for the attack was a mentally ill foreign national with a long history of violent behaviour and disturbing psychiatric issues. She was known to adult care services, known to the police, known to the entire system. And yet, somehow, she was walking free that day. This wasn't just a case of a life taken too soon. It was a case that raised urgent questions — about mental health oversight, immigration, and how we protect the most vulnerable among us. Questions that, for many, still haven't been answered.

In 2019, two world's collided when 19-year-old Harry Dunn was tragically killed in a crash near a UK military base. Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US diplomat, was driving on the wrong side of the road when her vehicle collided with Harry's motorbike. Citing diplomatic immunity, she took the coward's way out and fled back to the US. What followed would see Harry's family take on the most powerful man in the world in their pursuit for justice.

In our season 13 premier we take a look at the life and crimes of 74-year-old debauched deviant Paul Flowers. Flowers first came to the public's attention in 2013 when he was blamed for the near-collapse of the Co-operative Bank - he was the bank's chairman from 2010 to 2013. Some bad decisions were made during his tenure and it's not hard to see why - Flowers was often turning up to work following all-night cocaine and ketamine benders. He was in no fit state to be running a bank and when a sex worker filmed him in the act, it was the beginning of a spectacular downfall that would see his personal and professional lives implode in the most public way possible.

Fifty years ago this week, sisters Katherine and Sheila Lyon, aged 10 and 12 respectively, vanished into thin air. What started out as a fun day at the mall, soon turned into every parent's worst nightmare when the girls failed to arrive home for their 4pm curfew. The tight-knit community of the girls' hometown of Kensington, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C., rallied together in a desperate bid to search for the girls. But as nightfall came, there was still no sign of them. And as the days that followed turned into weeks, and then months, questions were being asked within this community - just who was responsible for the abduction and probable murder of these two little angels...? Join us as we delve into this desperately sad case...

This week we head to Brighton, and to the mid 2010's, as we take a look at the murder of 46-year-old payroll manager and adored friend and family member, Jillian Howell. When Jillian took over as the head of the University of Brighton's payroll department in 2015, she was intent on change. The department needed overhauling and she was just the woman to do it. David Browning, a then 49-year-old payroll administrator in the department, immediately took a disliking to his new boss. In time however, the pair became close, with Jillian supporting David following the sudden death of his father in 2016. But when David misconstrued Jillian's support for something more, a chain of events was set in motion that would end in tragedy.

If you worked for the Bank of England incinerating battered and bruised banknotes that were being taken out of circulation, would you be tempted to take one? Or ten?! What about ten thousand? This is exactly what a crack team of employees did at the Bank of England's incinerator plant at Debden in Loughton, Essex between 1988 and 1992. Demonstrating that there is no 'I' in 'team', this gang of criminals worked together to steal hundreds of thousands of pounds under the noses of supervisors and auditors... Our second case takes us to a warehouse just outside of Heathrow Airport, where a cache of rare books are being stored before being transported to California. After breaking in, a gang of expert criminals go on to spend five hours and fifteen minutes going through them one by one until they find what they are looking for...

This week we head to the seaside resort of Blackpool. Home to Blackpool Pleasure Beach and the iconic Blackpool Tower, the town attracts millions of visitors every year. And it's not just tourists that flock to this quintessentially British holiday destination. Every year, thousands of people move to Blackpool from other parts of the UK. In 2016, 21-year-old Debbie Leitch and her mother, Elaine Clarke, moved there from Leeds, with Elaine's three other children. The move should have signalled the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives, but for Debbie, who had Down Syndrome, it heralded the beginning of the end when her life spiralled into a downward descent into hell where neglect, abuse and isolation reigned supreme. This is an infuriating story which contains descriptions of neglect and abuse that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised.

This week we take a look at the concept of coincidences in true crime... Our first case takes us to the Aviemore Station Hotel in the Scottish Highlands. When fire ripped through the hotel in 1950, it ended in tragedy. The community was rocked to its core. And when history repeated itself forty five years later, people were left asking whether this was merely a coincidence, or whether something more sinister was at play... Our second case takes us to the bustling Birmingham suburb of Erdington. In 1974 a 20-year-old nurse went missing in eerily similar circumstances to a previous missing person's case more than a hundred years hence... Could it be that the two cases were related?

At approximately 11:30 on the morning of 10 May 2008, a day after his sixteenth birthday, Jimmy was inside the Three Cooks Bakery in Burnt Ash Hill, south London, with his brother, Harry, when 19-year-old Jake Fahri entered the shop spoiling for a fight.

We left part one in February 2019, just after Shamima Begum had been discovered by a British journalist in a refugee camp in Syria. News of the discovery of one of the 'Isis 4' shocked the nation and spread like wildfire. And soon, journalists were queuing up to interview her. What unfolded over the following months and years divided public opinion and reached the upper echelons of British government, as they strived to solve the question on everybody's lips: 'How do you solve a problem lime Shamima Begum?'.

This week we head to Bath, a picturesque city in the south west of England. Synonymous with its Roman-built baths, the eponymous city is a tourist hot-spot and is regularly voted one of the most desirable places to live in the country. But in the 1990's, it was better known as the city where women dare not walk the streets alone at night.

This week we head Down Under, to Australia, as we take a look at a crime so evil, it sent shockwaves around the entire world. Millions of people go backpacking every year. The thrill of adventuring into the unknown, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures is appealing to many. But it's not without its risks.

But it wasn't until the discovery of the bodies of two British backpackers that police started to take notice. What they uncovered shocked them to their very core. A serial killer was operating deep in the forest.
