Until the End of Crime

66. The Disappearance of Steven Clark


Listen Later

In this episode of Until the End of Crime, hosts Hayden and Cameron investigate the baffling 1992 disappearance of Steven Clark, a mystery that defies the laws of physics and haunts the misty coast of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. They reconstruct the "Public Restroom Paradox," where a twenty-three-year-old man with severe disabilities entered a public toilet on a bleak bank holiday afternoon and seemingly vanished into the sea air while his mother waited just yards away. Hayden and Cameron analyze the cold case’s shocking 2020 reactivation, which saw Steven’s elderly parents arrested on suspicion of murder, and dissect the crucial witness testimony that rewrote the timeline and exposed the tragic complexities of a family under the microscope of suspicion.
