In this episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson examines the shocking 1984 murder of American mother-of-two Rindy Morgan — dubbed the “Black Dahlia of the UK.”

Rindy vanished while out walking and photographing in Bristol. Days later, her body was found stabbed 14 times in a copse off Long Lane in Backwell. Her clothing, bag, and Olympus OM20 camera were stolen and never recovered, adding to the mystery.

We explore the frenzied attack, eerie parallels to the infamous Black Dahlia case, the extensive but fruitless investigation, and why this brutal killing remains unsolved after more than 40 years.

In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson examines the 2010 mysterious death of GCHQ intelligence analyst Gareth Williams—known as the “Spy in the Bag.”

The 31-year-old codebreaker was found dead, naked and padlocked inside a red North Face holdall bag in the bathtub of his Pimlico, London safe house. An inquest ruled his death an “unlawful killing,” yet how he ended up zipped inside the bag—and who put him there—remains one of Britain’s most perplexing unsolved cases.

We explore the anomalies, intelligence connections, possible espionage links, theories of a sex game gone wrong, and the family’s fight against official secrecy. Was it murder by foreign agents, a cover-up, or something even stranger?

In this explosive episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson investigates the 1987 murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan. Found dead in a south London pub car park with an axe embedded in his head, Morgan was likely on the verge of exposing police corruption when he was silenced.

Despite five major investigations, multiple arrests, and millions spent, no one has ever been convicted. The case exposed shocking institutional failings, conflicts of interest, and what an independent panel later called “a form of institutional corruption” within the Metropolitan Police.

We explore the evidence, the botched probes, the family’s decades-long fight for justice, and why this scandal continues to haunt British policing.

In this haunting episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson explores the 1957 unsolved murder of Countess Teresa Łubieńska. A Polish aristocrat, WWII resistance fighter, and Auschwitz survivor (tattoo number 44747), she endured unimaginable horrors during the war only to be brutally stabbed to death on the Piccadilly Line platform at Gloucester Road station in London.

On May 24, 1957, after dinner with friends, the 73-year-old was attacked without warning or apparent motive. Stabbed five times in a matter of seconds, her handbag untouched, she staggered to the station lift murmuring about a “bandit” before dying shortly after at hospital. Despite one of the largest investigations of its era—with over 18,000 interviews—her killer was never found.

Was it a random act of violence? A robbery gone wrong? Or revenge tied to her heroic past in the Polish resistance? We examine the evidence, theories, and enduring mystery of this shocking cold case.

Trigger warning: Contains details of stabbing and wartime trauma. Listener discretion advised.

In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson examines the shocking 219-page Rape Gang Inquiry Report released by Independent MP Rupert Lowe on June 16, 2026.

Drawing from survivor testimonies, whistleblower accounts, and years of suppressed evidence, the report reveals the systematic grooming, trafficking, and rape of tens of thousands of vulnerable young British girls—primarily by organized gangs of predominantly Pakistani Muslim men—across nearly 40% of UK local authorities. Decades of institutional failure by police, councils, social services, and politicians, driven by fears of racism accusations, allowed these horrors to continue.

We break down the key findings, harrowing victim stories, cultural and religious factors highlighted in the report, and the urgent calls for justice, prosecutions, and reform. This is one of Britain’s darkest scandals finally brought into the light.

In this harrowing episode of Shadows of the Night, host Alexander Lawson examines the brutal murder of 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak in Southampton on December 3, 2025.

What began as an ordinary night out ended in tragedy when Henry crossed paths with Vickrum Singh Digwa. Armed with a kirpan, Digwa stabbed the unarmed teenager five times, including a fatal wound to the heart. As Henry lay dying, his killer allegedly filmed him and spun a web of “wicked lies,” claiming self-defense and a racist attack.

Bodycam footage reveals the devastating final moments: Henry pleading “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe” while officers, misled by initial reports, handcuffed him on the ground.

We cover the trial, the conviction, the family’s fight for justice, and the wider questions surrounding knife crime, religious exemptions, and policing.
