    Princess Diana and the Anatomy of Close Protection: When Security Works — and When It Fails
    2026/03/01
    Princess Diana’s decision to dismiss her official protection officers changed everything.John Lennon walked out of the Dakota without security — and paid the ultimate price.In this episode of Crime Time Inc., Tom and Simon go inside the rarely-seen world of close protection — the meticulous planning, quiet threat assessments, and fragile trust that stand between public figures and catastrophe.This is not Hollywood bodyguard mythology. It’s the real machinery of prevention.Drawing on decades of operational experience, we explore how personal protection officers (PPOs) are selected, how risk is assessed, and why security is judged only on the rare occasions it fails — not the thousands of times it works perfectly.In this episode:Why cartel “decapitations” rarely change the drug tradeHow VIP protection is actually allocated in the UKThe role of trust between principal and protection teamPrincess Diana, Martin Bashir, and the collapse of protective trustJohn Lennon’s assassination — and what close protection would likely have identifiedFixated individuals, mental health policy changes, and escalating riskRoyal logistics: route planning, venue reconnaissance, and layered securityThe Nottingham killings and the hard questions about management and containmentCharles Bronson and the parole dilemma: how do you assess “safe to release”?Recidivism, early release, and the consequences of under-resourced aftercareThe Lord Advocate explained — and why Scotland’s dual-role system is under strainKey takeawayClose protection is mostly invisible.It’s preparation, prevention, and discretion.When it succeeds, nobody notices.When it fails, history remembers.Follow Crime Time Inc. on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms for insider analysis of the systems that shape crime, punishment, and public safety.You can buy the books mentioned in the podcast's by clicking the links belowTom's Best Selling Book:Ruxton: The First Modern Murder Paperback EditionRuxton: The First Modern Murder Kindle EditionSimon's Best Selling Book:The Ten Percent Paperback EditionThe Ten Percent Kindle EditionOur Website: https://crimetimeinc.com/If you like this show please leave a review.

  • Zodiac Killer: The Cipher Years and the Bus Bomb Threat

    Zodiac Killer: The Cipher Years and the Bus Bomb Threat
    2026/02/25
    In the weeks after Paul Stine’s murder, the Bay Area waited for the next strike—but what came next wasn’t a confirmed attack. Instead, the Zodiac launched a long, unnerving campaign of letters, ciphers, and threats that kept the region in fear for years.In Episode 7, “The Cipher Years,” we track the communications that defined the next phase of the case: the Dripping Pen card, the infamous Z340 cipher, shifting “scorecards,” and messages that escalated from taunting investigators to threatening mass harm.We also examine major flashpoints from 1969–1970: the letter to celebrity attorney Melvin Belli, the disputed abduction of Kathleen Johns, the “My name is—” cipher, the Mount Diablo map, the “Little List” letter, and the chilling Halloween card sent to journalist Paul Avery.This is the story of how the Zodiac may have paused his confirmed killings—but never stopped trying to control the narrative.00:00 After Stine Fear01:06 Dripping Pen Card01:58 Z340 Cipher Arrives34:43 Building Trust First36:55 Assembling the Review Team37:53 Forensic Rethink and DNA41:23 AI Promise and Pitfalls42:51 Suspects and Linked Crimes44:25 Science in the Field51:31 Why Murders Get Solved54:21 Assumptions and Outliers55:51 Managing Media Tip Floods01:01:36 Ego Games and Wrap UpNext episode: the investigation itself—how multiple agencies coordinated, what evidence they had, and why an arrest never came.The Robert Black Murders mentioned in this episode can be found in season 1 Episodes 3-8You can buy the books mentioned in the podcast's by clicking the links belowTom's Best Selling Book:Ruxton: The First Modern Murder Paperback EditionRuxton: The First Modern Murder Kindle EditionSimon's Best Selling Book:The Ten Percent Paperback EditionThe Ten Percent Kindle EditionOur Website: https://crimetimeinc.com/If you like this show please leave a review.

  • Prince Andrew Arrested Over Epstein Links: Arrest vs Detention Explained

    Prince Andrew Arrested Over Epstein Links: Arrest vs Detention Explained
    2026/02/22
    • Crime Time Inc. is back with a fast-moving news episode that spans royalty, politics, policing procedure, and the darker realities of online crime.
    • We start with breaking headlines reporting that former Prince Andrew has been arrested and taken into police custody. With details still emerging, Simon and Tom focus on what the word “arrest” actually means in practice—how it differs from voluntary attendance, what “not free to go about your business” really looks like, and why arrest does not automatically mean someone will be charged.
    • From there, we turn to Scotland and the Peter Murrell case—where the scale of the allegations, the timing around a looming election, and the release of charge details into the media have ignited a political storm. We explain the Scottish legal process in plain English, including what happens at a pleading diet, what “sub judice” means for reporting, and why perceptions of independence matter when the Lord Advocate is both head of prosecution and part of government.
    • We also zoom out to a chilling wider trend: reports of large volumes of online offences involving children—and the warning signs that some offending is being “normalised” in certain online spaces. Simon and Tom discuss what that means for policing, for parents, and for society.
    • Finally, we cover a major US missing-person/kidnapping case involving Nancy Guthrie, the role of the FBI in kidnapping investigations, and the pros and cons of using large rewards to generate information—when it helps, and when it can muddy the waters.
    • As always: we discuss ongoing cases as allegations and reported developments. Everyone is innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
    • If you’ve got thoughts—or you think we’ve missed an angle—message us via the website and we’ll share listener feedback in a future episode.

    What we cover (quick scan):

    • Prince Andrew: arrest vs voluntary attendance vs being arrested during interview
    • What “police custody” really means (and what can happen next)
    • Scotland: Peter Murrell case, media reporting, and election timing
    • Sub judice explained (why some details can’t be discussed)
    • Lord Advocate controversy: prosecution independence vs government role
    • Online offences involving children: scale, detection, and “normalisation”
    • Nancy Guthrie: FBI role, ransom/reward dynamics, investigative friction
