In 2018, the seaside town of Filey was left reeling by the shocking death of 70-year-old Dianne Williamson. A devoted mother and grandmother, she was well-known for her kindness and the love she held for her family.

But behind the warmth she showed to those around her, Dianne’s life had been overshadowed by years of difficulty within her long-term relationship. What unfolded that year was a tragedy that could not have been foreseen by those who cared for her most.

The case brought painful questions to the surface - about loyalty, silence, and the devastating reality of domestic abuse. It also served as a stark reminder that sometimes the people most at risk are those we assume are safe.

If you’re experiencing domestic abuse and feel frightened of, or controlled by, a partner, an ex-partner or family member, it’s important to remember that it’s not your fault and there is no shame in seeking help.

In 2010, the market town of Rugby in Warwickshire was shaken by a tragedy that few could have predicted. Gabrielle Chapman - known fondly as “Gabi” to those closest to her - was a nurse and midwife who had dedicated her life to helping others.

With a warm nature and a tendency to always see the good in people, she was deeply loved by her family, friends, and colleagues. But behind closed doors, a very different story was unfolding. It was one marked by control, manipulation, and the dangers that can lurk within seemingly ordinary relationships.

What followed was a devastating chain of events that left a lasting impact on her community, raising important questions about coercive control, domestic abuse, and the quiet dangers that can so easily go unnoticed.

In the early 2000s, the quiet seaside town of Torquay in Devon held a dark secret. One that would remain hidden for years before finally coming to light in the most harrowing of circumstances.

Saraya Broadhurst was a woman marked by hardship, but also by resilience. Behind closed doors, she did her best to overcome her mental health struggles while still trying to find stability and connection in her life. When she suddenly disappeared, there was no public appeal or manhunt - only silence.

What unfolded next is a story that never made national headlines, but one that deserves to be heard. As questions finally began to surface, authorities would uncover a shocking truth buried in plain sight. This quickly became one of the most unsettling cases Devon has ever seen.

In January 1961, the close-knit community of Newry in Northern Ireland was shaken to its core when a local teenager failed to return home from a Friday night dance event. As concern gave way to alarm, a major search effort was launched, but what police eventually uncovered would horrify even the most seasoned officers.

19-year-old Pearl Gamble was a bright and popular shop assistant with a promising future ahead of her. Her sudden and violent death cast a long shadow over the town, prompting a wide-ranging investigation that gripped the nation and unsettled a community where doors were rarely locked.

As suspicion began to gather around a familiar face, the case took on a chilling intensity, culminating in a courtroom drama that would leave its mark on legal history.

In this interview episode, I’m joined by T. Orr Monro.

Tina is a former Crime Scene Investigator, teacher, and now police journalist who had dreamed of becoming an author for as long as she can remember. That dream became a reality in 2020 when she was signed by HQ Stories for her crime series featuring a CSI named Ally Dymond.

Keen to shine a light on what happens behind the crime scene tape, Tina also chose to set her stories in North Devon, where she grew up. With its rugged shorelands and mysterious moorlands, North Devon becomes a character in its own right throughout her books.

Her debut novel Breakneck Point was published in 2022, followed by Slaughterhouse Farm in 2023. The third book in the series, Liars Island, was released in November 2024.

In November 2004, a quiet evening in the Highland town of Nairn was shattered by an act of sudden and shocking violence. A young father was gunned down on his own doorstep in front of his wife, and the case would go on to become one of the most baffling unsolved murders in modern Scottish history.

The victim was 30-year-old Alistair Wilson - a well-liked local man with a promising career and seemingly no enemies. But as detectives dug deeper into the case, questions began to pile up. Why had a man come to the house asking for him by name? What was in the mysterious blue envelope he was handed just minutes before his death? And why, over 20 years later, has nobody ever been charged?

This is a story marked by unanswered questions, a growing list of theories, and a family left searching for justice in a case that refuses to fade quietly into the past.

In August 1973, a horrific discovery was made inside a popular Douglas restaurant on the Isle of Man. A man had been killed in a violent and sustained attack, and as word of the crime spread, it sent shockwaves across the island.

The victim was 26-year-old Nigel Neal, a devoted family man and respected figure in the local hospitality scene. What followed was a tense and complex investigation that soon led detectives beyond the Isle of Man’s shores in search of a suspect.

As the evidence began to mount, a picture emerged of a troubled young man with a fractured past, an apparent grudge, and a motive rooted in desperation. But what really happened that night? And what led to the Isle of Man’s final death sentence being handed down in a courtroom that hadn’t seen one carried out in more than a century?
