Hawarden: The Murder of Madallin Jones
It was late on a Sunday night in January, 1993. A couple was driving around a quiet bend of the A550 by Tinkers Dale Wood in North Wales when they noticed a red Mini Metro which had crashed over a small embankment hitting a tree. The side window and windscreen were shattered, the driver’s door was ajar and the vehicle was empty. It looked like the driver had hit the windscreen on impact and had walked away— possibly to go get help.They called 999 and waited for help…Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.

Inverinate: The Murder of Helen Fiona Torbet
On the north shore of Loch Duich, just outside the small village of Inverinate, sits a small B&B called The Grianan Guest House. It’s beautifully unassuming, with the most affecting views of the loch onto the rugged Ratagan Pass across the water. Behind the guesthouse, hills roll for miles. It’s a walker’s dream, and was a favourite spot for Scottish hill walker, Helen Fiona Torbet. She had walked the area dozens of times… Only this time (in the summer of 1993) she didn't return.Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.

Blackpool: The Murder of Catherine (Kitty) Weaver & Gabrielle Morris
It was around five in the morning on January 31st, 1978, when a scream echoed through the rooms of ‘The Nook Rest Home’ on Blackpool’s South Shore. A scream or a cry in the night wasn’t uncommon at The Nook, which catered for the elderly, the sick, and older people with physical disabilities. And so in the early hours when a fellow resident heard it, they assumed someone was having a nightmare. As morning broke, residents and care-workers discovered one of their newer residents on the kitchen floor— covered in blood, murdered after someone had broken in through the window.Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.

Selsdon: The Murder of Tessa Howden
On January 10, 1986, David Howden woke around 8am and went downstairs to make some tea. Tessa was usually the first out of bed. She had started a job at the local 'Croydon Advertiser' in promotions, so when David noticed she wasn't up, he went upstairs to check on her. He saw she wasn't in bed, but it was dark. So he made his way downstairs, but at the bottom, David realised something wasn't right, before going back up again. Just inside her room, he saw her covers piled on the floor, and as he pulled them back, he found Tessa's body on the floor with something wrapped around her neck, covered in blood.Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.

Cerrigydrudion: The Clocaenog Forest Man
Every November, the winding roads through Clocaenog Forest are closed off for the Wales Rally GB. The roads near Cerrigydrudion are two of the rally's most challenging driving stages. On Saturday, November 14th, 2015, two brothers— there for the rally, set up camp in the woods just off a crest in the road near Llyn Brenig Reservoir. As they went to set up a fire and have a few beers, one of the brothers walked among the trees to find firewood. Just a few feet in, he saw some bones that, at first, could have been anything. Then he saw the unmistakable shape of a human skull — covered in moss and concealed by heavy undergrowth. At 8:35 pm, the brothers called North Wales Police.Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.

Southampton: The Murder of Teresa De Simone
In August 2009, the body of David Lace was exhumed from Kingston Cemetery in Portsmouth more than twenty years after he had died. Residents peered out from behind curtains as police stood guard. A blue and white tent covered the empty grave, and hessian sacks hid the names of nearby headstones. There were rumours that Hampshire police were about to solve a case that had long haunted the nearby city of Southampton.Detective Chief Inspector Phil McTavish had begun the re-investigation of a murder in Southampton thirty years earlier. With the progress made in forensic science over those decades, McTavish and his team were after one thing — DNA. But Lace wasn't the murder victim, nor was he the man convicted.So who was he?Sign up now to Crime+Investigation Play, the only dedicated true crime streaming service to watch brand new episodes of the TV show Murdertown.
