In the ninth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Mark Bridger and April Jones.

On October 1, 2012, 5-year-old April Jones was abducted and murdered by 46-year-old Mark Bridger.

April's disappearance sparked the biggest search for a missing person in UK police history after the national Child Rescue Alert (CRA) system was triggered.

On May 30, 2013, Mark Bridger was found guilty of murdering April Jones and handed a whole life order.

To this day, April's body has not been found.

In the eighth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Luke Mitchell and Jodi Jones.

This incredibly divisive case began on June 30, 2003, when 14-year-old Jodi Jones was brutally murdered on an isolated footpath in Dalkeith, Scotland.

Fellow 14-year-old Luke Mitchell, Jodi's boyfriend, was the one who found her body, and the police treated him as their key suspect from the very beginning.

On February 11, 2005, Luke was found guilty of murdering Jodi and handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 20 years.

Luke has continued to proclaim his innocence and insists that someone else was responsible for murdering Jodi.

Those on Luke's side have praised a recent Channel 5 documentary focusing on the case, but those who believe he is guilty have criticised it for being too heavily biased and for omitting key evidence.

In the seventh episode of season 7, I tell the story of Leigh Ann Sabine.

In 1997, John Sabine disappeared after moving to a flat in Beddau, South Wales, with his wife, Ann, who also went by Leigh.

Neighbours assumed the couple had divorced, but the truth would come to light 18 years later.

Less than a month after Ann succumbed to brain cancer in October 2015, the body of her husband, John, was found in her garden.

It is unclear if Ann murdered John, but an inquest has recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.

This is one of the most unusual cases I've ever researched.

In this mid-season episode, I'm joined by Zevon Odelberg of Kinda Murdery, who will tell me (and you) the story of Hawley Harvey Crippen.

Dr Crippen, or Dr Devil's Breath, was an American homoeopath charged with murdering his wife, Cora "Belle" Crippen, in London in 1910.

Scotland Yard found the torso of a human body at Crippen's house in Holloway, and it was identified as Cora's, despite it being headless, limbless and boneless.

Crippen was hanged for the murder on November 23, 1910, but a recent case review shows that mitochondrial DNA confirms that the remains were not those of Cora Crippen.

The Court of Appeal refused to hear the case to pardon Crippen posthumously.

Zevon also discusses the 2019 murder of Adrian Murphy by Joel Osei and Diana Cristea.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

In the fifth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Peter Chapman.

On October 25, 2009, 32-year-old Peter Chapman kidnapped, raped and murdered 17-year-old Ashleigh Hall and dumped her body in a farmer's field near Sedgefield, County Durham.

He met Ashleigh on Facebook after posing as a 19-year-old named Peter Cartwright.

The day after the murder, Cleveland Police arrested Chapman in connection with a hit-and-run offence dating back to October 2008.

Once inside a police cell, Chapman confessed that he had killed somebody the previous evening and led the police to Ashleigh's body.

He was handed a life sentence on March 8, 2010, with a minimum term of 35 years.
