In April 1987, 26-year-old Shani Warren was last seen driving in Buckinghamshire during an ordinary Easter weekend. The next day, her body was discovered in a lake, shocking her family and community. The circumstances of her death left investigators puzzled, and despite their efforts, the case quickly went cold.

Decades later, advances in forensic science and persistent police work finally brought Shani's killer to justice. This is the story of her life, the tragedy that haunted those who loved her, and the relentless pursuit of truth that refused to be forgotten.

Five years after Peter Sutcliffe’s death, his crimes continue to cast a long shadow over Northern England. In this remastered episode, I revisit a two-part series from my archives, now presented as one seamless story.

This episode focuses on the thirteen women whose names are too often forgotten. I look at who they were, the lives they were building, and how systemic failings left them at risk. I also revisit the investigation’s major missteps, the Wearside Jack hoax, and the eventual arrest and trial.

Fifty years on from the first confirmed murder - and five years since Sutcliffe’s death - their stories remain as important as ever.

In March 2003, 17-year-old Hannah Foster vanished after a night out in Southampton. Days later, her body was found a few miles from home. She’d been attacked and murdered - but by who?

A chilling 999 call made from Hannah’s phone captured the voice of her killer and sparked an international manhunt.

What followed was a bold escape, a pursuit that crossed continents, and a family’s relentless fight for justice that would change UK extradition history forever.

In early 2005, Nottingham was gripped by fear as three women lost their lives in a series of brutal killings that shocked the city.

First was 25-year-old Ellen Frith, whose body was discovered in a derelict flat that had been set on fire. Just weeks later, 18-year-old Katie Baxter and 26-year-old Zoe Pennick were found dead in eerily similar circumstances - both victims of unimaginable violence.

In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of Nottingham’s darkest chapters - a story of addiction, vulnerability, and a man who boasted about becoming the city’s first serial killer.

In May 2015, 21-year-old Jed Allen committed an act so horrifying it would rock the quiet Oxfordshire town of Didcot to its core.

For reasons known only to him, Allen brutally ended the lives of his mum, stepdad, and half-sister one fateful Saturday afternoon, before taking his own two days later.

In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of Oxfordshire’s most shocking cases. A story involving familicide, an obsession with a comic book antihero, and an unstable childhood that leaves us asking the age-old question: are people born evil, or are they moulded that way?

In this final episode of The Crime Roundup, Adam and I reflect on our journey together while discussing various true crime cases. We delve into the tragic story of Jamie Lucas, the cycle of domestic abuse highlighted by a recent murder case, and the sentencing of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy for corruption. Our conversation also touches on the murder of Ian Watkins, the bizarre discovery of a crocodile in Derbyshire, and the disturbing case of a woman locked away in her bedroom for 27 years. Throughout the episode, we explore the impact of social media on crime reporting and the justice system.

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 December 2018, 20-year-old midwifery student Joy Morgan went missing after attending a celebratory dinner with her local church group, Israel United in Christ (IUIC).

Six weeks passed before she was reported missing - but by then, it was too late. Six months later, fellow churchgoer Shohfah-El Israel was sentenced to life for her murder, yet the location of her body remained a mystery.

In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, I explore one of London’s most harrowing cases - a story that touches on race, a controversial religious group, and the devastating impact of a lack of accountability on a grieving family still searching for answers.

In December 1993, 25-year-old father of two Paul Logan was lured from his home in Consett, County Durham, by a mysterious late-night phone call. Hours later, his body was found in a frozen field on the outskirts of town - brutally beaten in what detectives described as a targeted and pre-planned attack.

Despite hundreds of witnesses interviewed, countless leads, and several arrests, no one has ever been charged with Paul’s murder. Rumours of underworld links, false accusations, and community silence have clouded the case for over thirty years, leaving Paul’s family still searching for the truth.

In this episode of British Murders, I revisit one of the North East’s most haunting unsolved cases - a crime that shocked a tight-knit community and continues to baffle detectives decades later.

If you have any information about the murder of Paul Logan, please contact Northumbria Police on 101, or reach out anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

In January 1995, the Cardiff suburb of St Mellons was shaken by the disappearance and murder of 15-year-old schoolgirl Claire Hood, a bright, popular teenager whose warmth touched everyone around her.

As detectives searched for answers, the inquiry became one of the largest DNA investigations the UK had ever seen. What began as a desperate hunt for a killer would uncover a devastating betrayal of trust that struck painfully close to home.

When the truth finally surfaced, it revealed not only one man’s deception, but also the heartbreaking reality of a justice system still grappling with how to balance punishment and loss, and a family left to bear the weight of a life stolen too soon.
