The infamous ‘Black Cab Rapist’ has been told he’s still a high risk to women and must remain locked up in the most dangerous category of prisoners.

John Warboys victims, including Boris Johnson’s wife Carrie, welcomed the decision saying it was a huge relief but she continued to criticise the police for still not taking attacks against women seriously.

Warboys reign of preying on single women late at night in his London black taxi is the subject of the new ITV drama Believe Me which reveals the misogynistic attitude of police officers who failed to link the attacks despite obvious clues.

In this podcast episode, Martin Frizell and Professor David Wilson analyse Warboys’s background, his MO, the police failings and the shocking statistics that show attacks on women in cabs has tripled in the last three years!Sent from my iPhone

In this episode, we investigate one of the most infamous missing child cases in modern history: the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

On the evening of 3 May 2007, three-year-old Madeleine vanished from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, while her family were on holiday. What followed became a global media storm, a decades-long investigation, and a case filled with theories, mistakes, and unanswered questions.

But who took Madeleine McCann?

We look at the key events of that night, the investigation that followed, the people police have focused on over the years, and the evidence that has shaped one of the most haunting mysteries of the 21st century.

What would you do if the person you loved confessed to killing someone?

In this episode of This Much Is True Crime, we look at the disturbing case of Alexander “Sandy” McKellar, whose relationship with forensic pathologist Caroline Muirhead took a horrifying turn when he revealed the truth about the disappearance of cyclist Tony Parsons.

What began as a romance became a nightmare of secrets, buried evidence and an impossible moral choice. Could Caroline protect the man she loved? Or would she help bring justice for the victim he tried to hide?

This is a story about love, loyalty, guilt — and the moment a proposal turns into a confession.

In this episode of This Much Is True Crime, we unpack the shocking case surrounding singer D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, following his April 2026 arrest in Los Angeles. Prosecutors allege Burke murdered 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were discovered in the trunk of his impounded Tesla months after she disappeared. He has since pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail as the case moves through court.

We explore the timeline of Celeste’s disappearance, the grim discovery that stunned the public, the charges now facing Burke, and the questions still hanging over one of the most disturbing celebrity-linked criminal cases in recent memory. This episode looks at what investigators say happened, what the defence is arguing, and why the case has sparked such intense public attention.
