The world came to know him as “Jihadi John”. A masked figure who became one of the most recognisable faces linked to extremist propaganda during the height of global tensions in the 2010s.

But behind the name was Mohammed Emwazi, a man from London whose path into radicalisation shocked many who had known him earlier in life.

As his identity was uncovered, questions quickly followed. How did someone with a seemingly ordinary background become associated with one of the most widely discussed extremist movements in recent history? What were the warning signs, and could anything have been done differently?

This episode explores Emwazi’s early life, the events that led to his radicalisation, the international effort to identify him, and the lasting impact his story had on public perception, security, and global policy.

In the late 1970s, a series of crimes in California left investigators facing one of the most disturbing cases of the era.

When authorities began closing in on Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris, they uncovered a pattern of calculated and deeply troubling behaviour that had gone unnoticed for far too long.

This episode breaks down how the case unfolded, how the pair were eventually identified, and the lasting impact it had on law enforcement and public awareness.
