Seven people lost their lives in the early hours of Saturday 22 August 2026 when a Volkswagen Passat travelling the wrong way along the A66 at South Bank, near Middlesbrough, collided head-on with a marked Cleveland Police armed response vehicle.Among those who died were Cleveland Police officers PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, along with the five occupants of the Passat.In this episode, former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine what is currently known about the tragedy while recognising that the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the collision is still at an early stage.Tom explains how police pursuits are controlled, why a pursuit can be abandoned when the danger becomes too great, and the specialist training required to drive police vehicles at high speed.Simon and Tom also reflect on incidents from their own police careers which brought home the risks faced by officers on the road.Simon recalls the 1994 death of Strathclyde Police officer PC Stuart Simpson, who was killed when his police vehicle was struck head-on by a car travelling the wrong way on the M8.Tom remembers losing two traffic officers while he was an acting divisional commander in West Lothian — and the devastating experience of personally going to the home of one of the officers to tell his wife that her husband had died.The conversation also examines:how police vehicle pursuits are managed and terminated;the highly specialised training of police traffic drivers;the role of Armed Response Vehicles in British policing;why most British police officers continue to patrol without firearms;the impact that the death of colleagues can have on a close-knit police force;and the support needed by officers and other emergency workers who attend traumatic scenes.The circumstances leading to the A66 collision are being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). Tom and Simon therefore distinguish between what is known and the questions that remain unanswered.00:00 — Cold Open00:50 — The A66 tragedy: seven people killed02:43 — How police pursuits are controlled and called off06:36 — What we know about the A66 collision08:41 — Simon remembers PC Stuart Simpson and the 1994 M8 tragedy10:35 — Tom recalls losing two traffic officers in West Lothian15:41 — How road policing departments operate17:28 — The specialist training of high-speed police drivers20:47 — What is an Armed Response Vehicle?25:04 — Why most British police officers remain unarmed25:52 — The unanswered social-media question26:37 — Closing thoughtsCrime Time Inc. — Real cases.

Why can someone accused of a serious crime be released on bail — and why might the detectives investigating them sometimes be pleased when that happens?Former Scottish detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean take an inside look at bail and remand: what bail actually means, how the system has changed during their careers, and the factors courts consider when deciding whether an accused person should remain at liberty or be held in custody pending trial.They discuss the days when bail could literally mean putting up money for someone's release, the continuing use of bail bonds in the United States, and the underlying principle in Scots law that an accused person has not yet been convicted and should normally remain at liberty unless there is sufficient reason to keep them in custody.Tom and Simon examine the practical reasons bail may be opposed, including:the seriousness of the alleged offence;the risk of absconding;further offending;interference with witnesses;destruction or concealment of evidence;and obstruction of justice.Tom also reveals a less obvious reality from major investigations: detectives could sometimes be quite pleased when a person facing a serious charge was granted bail. Keeping someone in custody starts strict legal timetables and can put enormous pressure on investigators trying to assemble a complex case.The conversation also explores how Scottish bail law developed through precedent and stated cases, changes to the modern bail test, the use of remand, and the police practice of releasing accused people on undertakings to appear at court.Simon and Tom also refer to the recent Simon Levy case while discussing the risks associated with offending while on bail.Later, the conversation moves to policing and drugs, as Tom discusses news he had read about advances in hepatitis C treatment. That prompts both detectives to recall the very real dangers faced by officers searching people who used injected drugs — including uncapped needles, needle-stick injuries and the routine question: “Do you have any sharps? Do you have any spikes?”It's an aspect of criminal justice that everyone has heard of, but one that is often very different from the version portrayed on television.Real cases. Real detectives.

What does a 13-year prison sentence really mean — and what happens when changes to early-release rules collide with one of Britain's most emotionally charged policing cases?Former Scottish detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the case of PC Andrew Harper, the 28-year-old Thames Valley Police officer who was killed in 2019 after becoming caught in a strap attached to a vehicle fleeing the theft of a quad bike.Three young men were originally charged with murder. All were ultimately acquitted of murder but convicted of, or admitted, manslaughter.Tom looks at the case from a detective's perspective and asks a fundamental evidential question:How do you prove intent?The discussion then turns to the campaign that followed Andrew Harper's death and the introduction of Harper's Law, intended to ensure life sentences for those convicted in qualifying cases of unlawfully killing emergency workers in the course of their duties.But Harper's Law could not retrospectively alter the sentences already imposed in this case.That has become central to the current controversy over early release from prison.Tom and Simon discuss the prospect of two of those convicted becoming eligible for release earlier than many members of the public expected, the reaction from senior police leaders, and the wider argument over how governments deal with an overcrowded prison system.The conversation quickly develops into something much bigger than a single case.Chapters00:00 — Cold open: “Our criminal justice system has been reduced to a bag of bones”00:58 — Introduction: Andrew Harper and the early-release controversy02:10 — Simon Levy, whole-life sentences and fitness to plead03:54 — Carstairs, secure hospitals and indefinite detention05:24 — Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen and places that leave an impression08:23 — PC Andrew Harper: what happened10:17 — Harper's Law and Lissie Harper's campaign11:24 — Why Andrew Harper's killers could be released early12:35 — Police chiefs intervene over the early-release scheme13:28 — Tom on the murder charge: “How do you prove intent?”14:49 — Why automatic sentence reductions are flawed17:02 — Prison overcrowding and a criminal justice system under pressure19:19 — Why short prison sentences often fail20:04 — Alternatives to prison: “Follow the evidence”21:28 — What does a 13-year prison sentence actually mean?23:34 — Life sentences, recall and rehabilitation25:13 — The cost of the criminal justice system26:03 — “Reduced to a bag of bones”26:50 — What happens next?27:29 — ClosingReal cases.

Lockerbie: The Mas'ud Confession, the Evidence and the Trial AheadFormer Scottish detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the case against Abu Agila Mas'ud — and what the US trial could reveal about Pan Am Flight 103.More than three decades after the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, the investigation is once again heading into a courtroom.In this episode, Tom and Simon look ahead to the US prosecution of Abu Agila Mas'ud and discuss one of the most significant recent developments in the case: a federal judge's decision allowing prosecutors to put Mas'ud's alleged 2012 confession before the jury.But a confession alone is not enough. Drawing on their own experience as detectives, Tom and Simon examine how prosecutors will need to build a coherent chain of supporting evidence — and how the defence will attempt to break that chain and create reasonable doubt.They also discuss the extraordinary scale of the original Lockerbie investigation, the international cooperation between police and intelligence agencies, the painstaking recovery and cataloguing of evidence across a vast area, and the challenges of presenting evidence accumulated across almost four decades.The conversation also turns to the continuing controversy surrounding Lockerbie, the conviction of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the acquittal of Lamin Khalifah Fhimah, and allegations that have been made about the Scottish investigation and judiciary.Tom speaks personally about detectives and senior figures involved in the case whom he knew and worked alongside, and explains why he strongly rejects suggestions that the Scottish investigation or judges were corrupt.As the Mas'ud case develops, Crime Time Inc. intends to keep following the evidence and return to the trial as significant developments emerge.Timestamps00:00 — Cold open: Mas'ud, the alleged confession and the evidential chain00:55 — Lockerbie returns to court nearly four decades later01:14 — Why conspiracy theories grow around major investigations02:25 — Police, intelligence agencies and competing national interests03:41 — The unprecedented international scale of the Lockerbie investigation04:07 — What Tom hopes the new trial will finally establish04:49 — Tom's personal connection to detectives involved in Lockerbie05:29 — The Netflix portrayal and the reality of a huge police inquiry06:00 — Recovering, cataloguing and tracing evidence across hundreds of square miles08:18 — Lockerbie's response to victims' families and the human side of the disaster09:56 — The major development: Mas'ud's alleged 2012 confession can go before the jury10:48 — Confessions, recorded interviews and lessons from detective interviewing11:56 — The enormous volume of evidence facing prosecution and defence13:12 — Why Crime Time Inc. plans to follow the trial closely13:46 — Building the prosecution's evidential chain — and how the defence can break it14:23 — Could the trial produce evidence affecting others connected to the case?15:14 — Megrahi, Fhimah and the previous Lockerbie trial15:50 — Tom strongly defends the integrity of the Scottish judges18:21 — Tom and Simon lighten the mood18:51 — Remembering Lockerbie and the detectives who devoted years to the investigationCrime Time Inc. — Real cases.

How can repeated failures across the criminal justice system allow a dangerous offender to remain a threat?In this episode of Crime Time Inc. Weekly News, former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the case of Simon Levy and the murders of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins.Tom and Simon look beyond the crimes themselves to the series of decisions and system failures surrounding Levy's offending history. They discuss acknowledged errors involving the Metropolitan Police, British Transport Police and Crown Prosecution Service, and examine how information was handled as his offending escalated.The discussion includes delays in charging, failures to place crucial information before the court when bail was being considered, inadequate monitoring as a registered sex offender, missed court appearances and the decision to downgrade his risk assessment from high to medium.Drawing on decades of real investigative experience, Tom and Simon consider where responsibility lies when individual officers may be capable and conscientious but the systems around them fail. Tom reflects on his own experience as a Senior Investigating Officer, the importance of supervision, properly resourced murder squads, intelligence systems such as HOLMES, and the need to make sure critical information is actually joined together.They also discuss accountability when investigations go wrong — including the extraordinary prospect of officers involved in the Levy investigation themselves facing investigation — and ask whether these were isolated mistakes or evidence of a much wider systemic problem.As Tom puts it, policing needs good people and good systems. In this case, their conclusion is stark:The dots were not joined up.Tom Wood and Simon McLean bring decades of experience in murder investigations, serious crime, undercover policing and senior operational command to examine what happened, what should have happened, and what lessons policing must learn.Contains discussion of murder, sexual offending and violence.Chapters00:00 Cold Open00:48 Simon Levy: Two Murders and a Criminal Justice Failure01:46 Sex-Offender Risk & Missed Warning Signs02:58 The Timeline: Assaults, Rape, Bail and Murder04:08 Inconclusive Postmortems & Forensic Delays06:28 SIO Accountability & Investigating the Investigators08:50 Arrested, Released — Then a Second Murder10:48 “The Dots Were Not Joined Up”: Resources, HOLMES & Murder Squads12:07 Bail, Monitoring, Missed Court Dates & Risk Downgrade13:28 Portobello, Robert Black & Why Appearances Can Deceive15:44 Assumptions, Bias & Judging People by AppearanceReal cases.

Could facial recognition become the biggest breakthrough in catching criminals since DNA matching?Live facial recognition is becoming an increasingly powerful tool for police — but as the technology expands, so does the debate over privacy, surveillance, regulation and the rights of innocent people caught on camera.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., former Scottish detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the growing use of facial recognition technology, CCTV and digital evidence in modern policing.Tom argues that facial recognition could become as important to criminal investigations as fingerprints, CCTV and DNA, while Simon puts the opposing arguments to him: should police be able to routinely scan thousands of innocent people simply because the technology can identify wanted suspects?They discuss the need for safeguards, regulation and courtroom scrutiny, as well as the increasing importance of CCTV, doorbell cameras and other visual evidence in major investigations.The conversation also explores identification evidence and corroboration in Scottish criminal law. Tom explains why identifying a suspect is only part of the evidential picture — and why another independent strand of evidence can be crucial.Then the discussion turns to police warrants and the reality of tracking down wanted people. Tom and Simon explain the different types of warrants officers encounter, including non-payment warrants, non-appearance warrants, arrest warrants, search warrants, European Arrest Warrants, extradition and surveillance warrants.Drawing on their own policing careers, they recall the days of folders containing hundreds of outstanding warrants, early-morning attempts to trace wanted suspects, prisoner escorts across Britain — and one memorable flight involving a prisoner facing 22 years behind bars and a final whisky.Finally, Tom considers what happens when artificial intelligence, facial recognition and police databases begin working together. Could officers eventually receive real-time alerts identifying wanted people as they move through towns and cities? And could technology help policing compensate for growing pressure on resources across the criminal justice system?In this episode:00:00 — Cold Open00:59 — Facial Recognition: The Future of Policing?03:00 — Privacy, Regulation & CCTV Evidence06:21 — The Biggest Breakthrough Since DNA?07:48 — Identification, ID Parades & Corroboration10:34 — Warrants and Wanted Suspects14:06 — Prisoner Escorts & the “Last Whisky”16:55 — Arrest, Search, European & Surveillance Warrants19:53 — AI, Facial Recognition & Police ResourcesHosted by former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean.Real cases.

Former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the PC Alan Greer investigation, the death of Elizabeth Jane Ross in Athens and FIFA's controversial proposed commercial deal.Crime Time Inc. Weekly News returns with real investigative experience applied to major stories from the UK and beyond.Tom and Simon begin with FIFA, discussing the influence of money in football, the proposed multi-billion-pound commercial arrangement, the Sepp Blatter era and the powers used by the FBI to pursue corruption and racketeering.They then examine the allegations surrounding Police Scotland officer PC Alan Greer. What role does PIRC play when police conduct or contact must be independently reviewed? Were there warning signs that colleagues or supervisors should have recognised? And how can one individual cause lasting damage to public confidence in the wider police service?The conversation moves to the death of Elizabeth Jane Ross, whose body was reportedly discovered inside a suitcase in an abandoned building in Athens. Tom explains how detectives would secure and preserve such an unusual scene, how the suitcase and its contents would be examined, and why investigators must never allow an early assumption to compromise vital forensic evidence.Tom also describes the three broad types of murder investigation—from cases resolved rapidly to the long, painstaking inquiries that require what he calls “quiet persistence.”Finally, the discussion turns to the Isabel Rose Welsh case, the danger posed by outstanding arrest warrants, facial-recognition technology, criminal intelligence and the remarkable ability experienced officers can develop to remember faces, vehicles and registration numbers.Viewer discretion is advised.

Most used car managers still price off the auction book. Cazana wants to flip that on its head. In this panel episode, Simon Bowkett sits down with Ian, Mark and Darren from Cazana, the retail valuations platform built on more data than anyone else in the UK, with around 900,000 unique cars tracked every day. The conversation stays practical and commercial throughout: how to value a car retail-down rather than trade-up, why days to sell matters more than gut feel, and why the used EV market has turned hot again. If you buy used cars, run a sales desk or want tighter stock turn, this one is built for your job. What's covered: • Why valuing a car retail-down beats pricing up from the auction book • How days to sell data sharpens what you pay and what you advertise for • Why the used EV market has turned hot again, with dealers struggling to get stock • What battery health really does to used EV values, and why it is less of a worry than people think • How provenance, MOT history and local stock affect a car's price • Why estates, saloons and small petrol hatchbacks are selling quickly right now • The pricing strategy that avoids a race to the bottom • What the Cazana 500 offer gives independent dealers Cazana is a used vehicle data and retail valuations platform, originally built in 2012 by Tom Wood, purchased in 2023 by Percayso and relaunched after the Cazoo collapse. Ian leads the business, while Mark and Derren bring years at Experian Automotive and Cap HPI to the table. Eight of the top ten insurers and the Financial Ombudsman already use their valuations, which tells you something about the quality of the data. If you are a dealer principal, used car manager or buyer trying to buy better and turn stock faster, this is worth your time. About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words 'real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

The conviction of former SNP Chief Executive Peter Murrell has sent shockwaves through Scottish politics and raised serious questions about financial oversight, leadership responsibility and public trust.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., former detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the embezzlement case that dominated headlines across Scotland. Drawing on decades of investigative experience, they explore how breaches of trust develop, why embezzlement often goes undetected for years, and what warning signs organisations frequently miss.Tom and Simon compare the SNP case with real investigations from their policing careers, including thefts involving trusted employees, family-run businesses and compulsive offenders whose behaviour defied logic. They discuss the difference between crimes driven by need, greed and psychological compulsion, and analyse the extraordinary purchasing patterns revealed during the investigation.The conversation also turns to leadership accountability, internal financial controls, governance failures and the responsibilities of those entrusted with managing large organisations and public donations.In the second half of the episode, the hosts address the tragic rise in child and teenage drowning deaths across the UK. They discuss water safety, cold water shock, risk-taking behaviour among young people, and whether schools and parents are doing enough to prepare children for everyday dangers.A thought-provoking discussion on crime, trust, responsibility and the lessons that organisations and families ignore at their peril.The discussion also examines the wider implications of Operation Branchform, the investigation into Scottish National Party finances, and the questions raised about oversight during the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon. Drawing on their experience as former detectives, Tom Wood and Simon McLean provide insight into how fraud investigations develop, why financial controls fail, and what lessons organisations can learn from high-profile cases. The episode concludes with an important discussion on water safety, drowning prevention and the risks of cold water immersion.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the SNP Embezzlement Case01:20 How Embezzlement Typically Begins05:44 A Detective's Real-Life £74,000 Theft Investigation09:40 Need, Greed and Compulsive Theft16:37 The Strange Psychology of Criminal Behaviour18:45 Comparing Major Financial Crime Cases21:14 Leadership Accountability and Governance Failures23:58 Water Safety and Preventable Tragedies25:46 Why Young People Are Most at Risk28:13 The Green Cross Code and Safety LessonsAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc, hosts Tom Wood and Simon McLean join researcher Alex to continue their deep dive into the Zodiac killer case, turning their attention from the evidence itself to the deeply human story behind one of the most enduring suspects — a man whose abandoned son became convinced his estranged father was the infamous serial killer. Tom, drawing on decades of experience as a senior investigating officer on cases including the World's End murders and the Robert Black abductions, offers a compelling psychological perspective on why family members of terrible people sometimes come forward to link their relatives to high-profile unsolved crimes. As he explains, these individuals are rarely faking it; they genuinely believe what they're saying, driven by a deep need to make sense of the cruelty they experienced. It's a way of externalising their pain, of finding an explanation grand enough to account for the abandonment and neglect they suffered.The conversation opens up into a broader and thought-provoking discussion about the exploitation of serious crime. Simon raises the uncomfortable truth that bestselling books, films, and television programmes have been built on the back of cases like the Zodiac, Jack the Ripper, and countless others — an industry where there is, as Tom puts it, no quality control and no board of censors. With the rise of artificial intelligence, the hosts note, the barrier to producing speculative true crime content has never been lower. It's a candid moment of self-awareness from two men who make their living in the genre, and they handle it with characteristic honesty and humour.Tom takes the opportunity to share the remarkable story behind his own book, *Ruxton: The First Modern Murder*, recounting how a bundle of case papers — tied with the original pink police tape, unread for over eighty years — was discovered in a Portobello attic and eventually found its way to his desk. The documents, belonging to a deceased Edinburgh CID detective, contained a wealth of new information about a well-known case and told the story of an ordinary county police sergeant who, with no resources and no CID experience, did extraordinary investigative work. It's a story that underscores a theme that has run through Crime Time Inc from the very beginning: the critical importance of protecting and properly investigating the crime scene, a principle as vital today as it was in 1935. Simon also teases his forthcoming novel, *Kintyre*, which Tom reports he has read in excerpt and enjoyed very much.The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion about cold case responsibility. Tom poses the question of who, if anyone, is still actively investigating the Zodiac murders, and whether modern forensic advances have ever been applied to the original evidence. He draws a parallel with the ongoing Police Scotland search for the remains of Renee MacRae and her young son — a case that is solved and whose perpetrator is dead, yet where the duty to victims' families compels continued work. The hosts reflect on the value of structures like Police Scotland's Homicide Review Board and wonder whether any equivalent systematic review has ever been applied to the full range of killings attributed to the Zodiac. It's a fitting end to an episode that balances sharp investigative thinking with genuine humanity, and listeners are reminded that the Zodiac series will continue with further suspects and a full case summary in upcoming episodes.Zodiac Killer, Zodiac Killer podcast, Zodiac murders, unsolved serial killer, true crime podcast, Zodiac suspects, Zodiac evidence, San Francisco murders, 1960s serial killer, cold case investigation, Zodiac cipher, true crime analysis, Zodiac Killer theory, unsolved mysteries, crime podcast, serial killer case study, Zodiac Killer identity, true crime storytelling, criminal investigation, famous unsolved casesAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

In this episode of Crime Time Inc, hosts Tom Wood and Simon McLean take a detailed look at Gary Francis Post as a suspect in the Zodiac killer case, continuing their in-depth series on one of America's most enduring unsolved mysteries. Before diving into the main discussion, the pair share some entertaining memories of police life — the Glasgow dairies and Edinburgh bakeries that served as unofficial gathering spots for officers, the camaraderie with A&E nurses at the Western General Hospital on the night shift, and some memorably brutal lines from staff appraisals. It's a warm, unguarded exchange that captures the culture of policing in Scotland during their era, and a reminder that even in a true crime podcast, the human side of the job matters.The heart of the episode is a rigorous, experience-driven analysis of Post as a Zodiac suspect and the work of the so-called "case breakers" who championed him. Tom and Simon walk through the circumstantial evidence — Post's military background, his time in the San Francisco Bay Area, claimed cipher interpretations spelling out his name, reports of domestic violence, and familiarity with firearms — and systematically weigh each element. Tom, drawing on decades as a senior investigator and his FBI secondment at Quantico, is characteristically measured but skeptical. He notes that firearms familiarity was near-universal among American men of that generation, that access to military PX stores was hardly exclusive, and that the behavioural profile doesn't fit: serial offenders of this type rarely just stop and settle into quiet domestic life. Simon reinforces the point that the evidence supporting Post is almost entirely subjective or speculative, and crucially, that law enforcement investigating the Zodiac case showed no interest in Post — a telling sign given their otherwise fastidious approach to other suspects.A standout theme of the episode is the concept of elimination in major crime investigation. Tom explains, with the authority of someone who led the World's End murders inquiry and spent years on the Susan Maxwell and Vicky Hamilton cases, that elimination must meet an even higher standard than prosecution — you need to be one hundred per cent certain it is not the suspect. He illustrates this vividly with the Emma Caldwell case, where a suspect initially appeared to have a cast-iron alibi of being in prison, only for investigators to discover he had been released on weekend leave at the time of the murder. The discussion also highlights how DNA evidence, so central to Tom's work on the World's End case — explored fully in his bestselling book *The World's End Murders: The Inside Story* (Ringwood Publishing, 2024) — serves as much to clear the innocent as to convict the guilty. It's a nuanced point that underscores why the Zodiac case, with its degraded and poorly preserved forensic evidence, remains so frustratingly unresolved.The episode closes on a lighter note, with Tom revealing he saw the Beatles live in Edinburgh in their very early days, and Simon ribbing him about Paul McCartney's stolen left-handed guitar — a nod to Simon's well-known friendship with McCartney dating back to his days as a young officer in Campbeltown. The pair tease future episodes, including a Zodiac series roundup and a possible deep dive into the Emma Caldwell case, giving listeners plenty to look forward to.About Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Old Firm Disorder, Glasgow Fire, and Lessons from Huntley: Policing, Enforcement, and True Crime InsightsIn a wide-ranging chat, Simon and former senior Scottish police officer Tom Wood discuss Tom's new book-editing process and then focus on recent disorder around the Rangers–Celtic Old Firm match, arguing sectarian hatred still simmers and questioning reduced police presence, reliance on stewards, and proposals to reintroduce alcohol at stadiums. They link football violence, gate-crashing, and disguised fans to broader issues of enforcement, funding cuts, and lost “organisational memory.” The conversation shifts to a major Glasgow city-centre fire at an iconic corner, suggesting existing regulations are adequate but under-enforced due to hollowed-out local authorities and reduced inspection capacity, with concern about vape shops and illicit activity. They reflect on the Soham murders by Ian Huntley and the Bichard Inquiry's lessons on intelligence-sharing failures, compare offender secrecy to Angus Sinclair, note a new near-miss account related to Robert Black, and briefly preview London's policing challenge after banning the Al Quds march.00:00 Book Editing Grind00:44 Old Firm Violence Returns01:45 Policing vs Stewarding03:59 Alcohol Ban Debate07:52 Sectarianism and Rivalry11:49 Away Fans and Hooliganism14:51 Pickpockets at Matches16:46 Glasgow Fire and Neglect20:36 Vape Shops and Drug Parallels23:30 Smoking Ban Lessons23:49 Smoking Ban Success24:52 Vape Shop Fire Questions25:16 Enforcement Over New Laws26:34 Policing Vape Shops27:24 Pawn Shops and Beat Cops28:09 Madam Doubtfire Origins29:08 Glasgow Fair and Pawnbroking30:44 Soham Murders Lessons32:59 Killers Keeping Secrets36:27 Near Misses and Intel Logs40:10 Patterns in Minor Incidents41:37 Covering for Offenders42:29 Banning Marches in London46:42 Rugby and Sign OffAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Franchise leadership lives or dies by the strength of the franchisor and franchisee relationship.In this episode, we're joined by Tom Wood, President and CEO of Floor Coverings International, for a conversation about what effective franchise leadership actually looks like in practice. Having served as a franchisee, founding executive, growth leader, and CEO, Tom brings more than four decades of experience and a rare, balanced perspective on both sides of the franchise relationship.Tom shares how his time as a franchisee continues to inform the way he leads today, and why franchisors and franchisees must clearly understand and respect their distinct roles. We explore the tension that often exists in the franchisor and franchisee relationship, especially during periods of change, innovation, and growth, and why leadership missteps usually happen when that balance breaks down.We also dive into what drives sustainable franchising growth, from how high-performing franchise owners think differently to why investing in people, systems, and marketing is non-negotiable. Tom explains why strong mentorship, disciplined fundamentals, and a willingness to listen are essential for scaling a franchise system without losing trust along the way.So, whether you're leading a mature brand or building an emerging brand, this episode offers a clear-eyed look at franchise leadership that prioritizes alignment, accountability, and long-term growth.Connect with TomFloor Covering International - https://floorcoveringsinternational.com/Email - Twood@FCIFloors.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-wood-cfe-8580727/Episode Highlights:Franchise leadership through empathy and trustThe real role of the franchisor vs the franchiseeWhy strong franchisor and franchisee relationships matterLeadership mistakes that break trustWhat top-performing franchise owners do differentlyFranchising growth requires people and investmentMentorship as a leadership advantageWhy great leaders don't believe their own pressConnect with Tracy Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale JBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/ Email: podcast@jbfsale.com Connect with Shannon Personal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/ JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsale Website - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/ Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

In this compelling episode of Crime Time Inc., the team convenes for an insightful live recording at the picturesque Three Craws venue in Scotland. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as hosts Simon, Tom Wood, and Jane Hamilton engage in a candid conversation about notorious serial killers who have left their grim mark on Scotland's history. Their discussion takes listeners deep into the heart of true crime, blending personal accounts, investigative strategies, and an analysis of the societal impact of these tragic stories.As the episode unfolds, Simon introduces Tom Wood, a seasoned former detective with a wealth of experience in major crime investigations, and Jane Hamilton, a distinguished crime reporter with a rich history of covering high-profile cases. The evening commemorates their substantial contributions to true crime journalism and the police force, as they recount the dark narratives surrounding three infamous figures: Robert Black, Angus Sinclair, and Peter Tobin. Each case not only highlights the chilling methodologies of these predators but also sheds light on the evolution of criminal investigation techniques and forensic science in Scotland.The first case revolves around Robert Black, a predatory paedophile responsible for the abduction and murders of young girls during the early 1980s. Simon and Tom delve into the distressing details of Black's modus operandi, discussing how his heinous acts transformed the public perception of child safety. Through intricate storytelling, the complexities of a multi-agency investigation come to light, illustrating the collaborative efforts of various police forces before breakthroughs in forensic technology eventually led to Black's apprehension. Tom's first-hand insights bring gravity to the narrative, as he recalls the emotional toll these cases exacted on the community and law enforcement alike.Transitioning smoothly, the conversation shifts to Angus Sinclair and the infamous World's End murders from 1977, where two young women went missing after a night out in Edinburgh. Tom passionately recounts the decades-long investigation that was ultimately resolved through a scientific breakthrough in DNA analysis. The episode highlights the incredible determination of law enforcement and the resilience of the victims' families. Tom emphasizes the importance of meticulous crime scene examination and how the preservation of evidence paved the way for justice even after 37 years.More to follow in part 2.#Crime Time Inc#Scotland#serial killers#Robert Black#Angus Sinclair#Peter Tobin#investigative techniques#DNA investigation#victims' families#true crimeAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

Peter Rogerson is desperate and furious. His sister Mary, the Ruxton family's nanny, has been missing for nearly two weeks. Peter, defying social norms, confronts Dr. Buck Ruxton at his doorstep, demanding answers. Despite Ruxton's attempts to deflect him with tales of theft and a trip to Scotland for an illegal abortion, Peter is not convinced. He fears something terrible has happened and that Ruxton is behind it. Meanwhile, top forensic experts in the UK have begun to unmask the identities of the dismembered bodies discovered in a Scottish ravine. Using groundbreaking techniques, they piece together a puzzle as complex as any in the history of modern forensic science. And, in doing so, they begin to find a tragic answer to Peter Rogerson's desperate query. Hosted by Yeardley Smith, "Beyond Recognition" delves into the chilling details of this case. Featuring insights from experts like Tom Wood, Paul Holes, and Professor Sue Black, this episode uncovers the revolutionary advances in forensic techniques that were employed and the critical mistakes that nearly let a killer go free. As the press begins to circle, Ruxton faces an adversary he never anticipated: the most powerful voice in the United Kingdom—the media.
