Tom and Simon kick off with a discussion about Simon's upcoming trip to Australia for Crime Time Inc., emphasizing the importance of exemplary conduct and noting the organization's tight expense policies. They delve into famous Australian cases, including the legendary outlaw Ned Kelly. The conversation then shifts to a series of topical crimes, particularly those around Christmas time, as noted by their deep dive team. Paul Logan's unsolved murder is highlighted, with Tom discussing the importance of preserving evidence and keeping cold cases 'warm' for potential breakthroughs. They touch on infamous cases like the Sodder children and JonBenét Ramsey, critiquing poor initial crime scene management and exploring potential theories behind the incidents. The pair also reflect on Amelia Earhart's mysterious disappearance and the influence of conspiracy theories, driven by social media. The podcast transitions to a broader analysis of crime scene investigations, the importance of immediate actions by first responders, and conspiracy theories' propensity to thrive in the absence of definitive answers. Notably, Tom praises Police Scotland's Homicide Review Board for their methodical and thorough approach to solving cold cases. The episode also teases a future live show at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and mentions their special guest, former crime reporter Jane Hamilton, who will bring a unique perspective as a journalist. This episode offers a blend of case analysis, procedural critique, and personal anecdotes, providing listeners with insight into the investigative process and the challenges faced in high-profile crime inquiries.00:00 Introduction and Trip Preparations00:21 Professional Conduct and Expense Warnings01:40 Famous Australian Cases01:57 Christmas Crimes and Cold Cases04:44 The Paul Logan Case06:56 Cold Case Investigations11:50 Forensic Evidence and Lockhart's Exchange Theory16:53 The Sodder Children Disappearance23:06 Violence in Policing26:11 The Importance of Searching Prisoners27:36 Public Inquiry into Sheku Bayoh's Death29:49 Botched Crime Scenes: Jon Benét Ramsey Case35:57 The Maurin Murders: A Complex Case42:20 Amelia Earhart: The Mystery of Her Disappearance46:16 Conspiracy Theories and Social Media48:57 Upcoming Live Show Details Hosted on Acast.

In this week's look at politics from a Scottish perspective the Dominic Cummings affair rumbles on and its impact socially and politically can't be underestimated. What it also brought into sharp perspective was the limited grasp on factual evidence the UK government in general, and Boris Johnson in particular, has when making big decisions. We focus on the appearance of the PM before the Parliamentary Liaison Committee, the decision to abandon the Hybrid Commons procedures, and the easing of lockdown in England. Lesley also examines the apparent flouting of Scottish government guidelines over the past weekend. The United States has erupted with protests over the killing of George Floyd and we look on in shock at the events leading to the Black Lives Matter demonstrations.It's been five years since the death of Sheku Bayoh in police custody but it's taken until now for the remit of the public inquiry into his death to be announced.Is this good enough? Fiona Hyslop,the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Fair Work & Culture, has said that a Scots lockdown exit must deliver a greener, fairer, economy? Is this on the cards without a local, communitarian approach? I chip in with my thoughts on crisis leadership and , yet another, rant on the lack of rapid rebuttal to misinformation from the SNP Media team. There's also musings on golf course conversations and nail bars.
In this episode, participants of colour at one of The Anti-Racist Educator's public engagement meetings attempt to tackle challenging questions about race and its relevance in Scotland.
