24th May 2010. Bradford, England. A building caretaker sits reviewing CCTV footage as part of his regular duties. But this would not be any ordinary shift. A shadow appears just meters from the camera lens on what would normally be a deserted corridor.

Approaching the camera with ill-deserved confidence and a sick grin, was a man of medium build with dark hair. He walks brazenly up to the camera, stares down the lens, raises his left hand's middle finger, and tightly grips a crossbow in his right. 

But this wasn’t the man’s first encounter with serious crime. In fact, his reign of terror had begun almost twelve months earlier. This is the chilling story of the man who dubbed himself; The Crossbow Cannibal, who would leave an unknown number of bodies in his wake.

September 27th, 2007. In Sydney Australia, the night air is filled with the usual sights and sounds. Stars light up the sky and crickets fill the air with their endless chirps. On a quiet rural road in Waratah nature reserve, a green Toyota Corolla is parked with nobody inside and signs of life. The car belonged to 20-year-old Matthew John Leveson who had last been seen four days earlier leaving a popular Sydney night club, but nobody had seen or heard from him since. Where was Matthew? What had happened to this bright, confident young man? The police had been alerted, but their task would not be an easy one. It would take a significant period of time to get to the bottom of Matthew’s disappearance.

This disturbing case of betrayal, greed, and an unquenchable thirst for power started in the summer of 2021 in Hampton, South Carolina, USA. A young man and a middle-aged woman were gunned down by an unknown assailant. The police made no arrests, how could they? Officially there weren’t any suspects. 

Strangely, the only statement law enforcement made was that they were confident there was no risk to the public. But why were they so confident? Did they have their own suspicions? This tale of deceit is like nothing else you will have heard before.

Willoughby Hills, Ohio, United States. A leafy and normally quiet suburb of Cleveland. That is until the 16th November 2012, when police receive a 911 call at 1:15 am from a young girl asking for help, hysterically telling dispatchers that her mother was being stabbed.  

Police arrived at the scene, entered the home, and were pointed in the direction of the master bedroom. They find a horrific scene. The bedroom was awash with fresh blood, and the bedsheets completely transformed into a sea of scarlet red, so much so, it was impossible to tell what colours they had been previously. Disguised beneath all this blood, the dead body of a woman, and standing over the body, a young girl covered in blood, knife in hand, looking very calm, almost peaceful. This is a case that shook all those involved, including the police investigators who had to use all of their experience and patience to get to the bottom of it.
