In a compelling episode of Crime Time Inc, hosts Simon and Tom Wood engage in a riveting conversation with John Murray, a key figure in the pursuit of justice for the murder of Yvonne Fletcher. Narrating his 40-year dedication, Murray recounts his pledge made to Yvonne Fletcher, a colleague fatally shot outside the Libyan embassy in London in 1984, to uncover the truth and seek justice. Despite the daunting challenges and apparent lack of support from official avenues, Murray's unwavering commitment led him to initiate a series of actions unparalleled for an individual. His journey took him to Libya and into legal battles in the UK, culminating in a historic civil court victory that marked a significant milestone in this enduring campaign. Beyond seeking accountability, Murray's actions have shone a light on the often-obscure interplay between politics, diplomacy, and justice. His experience also serves as a stark reminder of the profound emotional and psychological toll on those who find themselves at the confluence of such events. The episode not only delves into the details of the Yvonne Fletcher case but also explores the broader implications of government and intelligence actions on individual lives and the quest for truth and justice. Murray's story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, making this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in crime, justice, and the indomitable human spirit.

In this gripping episode of Crimetime Inc., we delve into the chilling case of Yvonne Fletcher's murder, exploring its profound impact on UK policing and the intriguing political backdrop of the 1980s. Our hosts Simon and Tom Wood engage with guest Matt Johnson, shedding light on the intricate details surrounding the 1984 tragedy and its lasting legacy. Fletcher, a dedicated Metropolitan Police officer, tragically lost her life during a demonstration outside the Libyan Embassy in London. This case stands as a defining moment in UK policing history, marked by the unfortunate distinction of being the only instance where the murder of a police officer was captured live on TV. Matt Johnson, with his deep connections and tenacity, uncovers the layers of intrigue, political maneuvering, and the dark underbelly of international relations that followed the incident. The discussions lead us through the complex narrative of Fletcher's life and career, the immediate response to her death, and the ensuing decades of pursuit for justice by her friend and colleague, John Murray. Murray's relentless drive unravels a tangle of secrets and government complicity, exposing shocking truths about UK dealings with Libya, involving oil sanctions and underhanded political deals that prioritised economic interests over justice. This episode not only commemorates Fletcher's legacy but also serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers. It challenges us to ponder the ethical lines crossed in the name of national security and the ongoing battle between moral responsibility and political strategy. 'No Ordinary Day: The Truth Behind the Murder of WPC Yvonne Fletcher,' authored by our guest Matt Johnson, offers an even deeper exploration into this dark chapter of UK history, providing compelling evidence and firsthand accounts that illuminate the enduring mysteries of Fletcher's story and the controversial actions taken by the government in its aftermath.

This episode of 'Crime Time Inc.' engages in a retrospective conversation about the murder case of Sheila Anderson in the 1980s. The hosts, Simon and Tom, deeply explore the investigation of this unresolved case. They discuss the impact of Sheila's murder on changes in the law enforcement approach to the sex industry in Scotland, highlighting the various challenges faced. They scrutinise the concept of a 'Zone of Discretionary Prosecution' — an informal arrangement in the Leith area of Edinburgh which was aimed at controlling and ensuring the safety of the street sex work scene. However, this zone eventually dissolved due to the gentrification of the area. Tom Wood emphasises that Sheila's case, while tragic, prompted a greater understanding of the sex industry and led to a more pragmatic management of the same, possibly preventing similar fates for others. The conversation also touches upon the change in the sex industry following the advent of the internet, making it highly elusive and dangerous with minimal police control. Amongst other discussions, the hosts also touch on the constraints of resources for investigation and talk about the multitude of unsolved mysteries that lie behind bureaucratic and resource-related considerations.

In this riveting episode, we delve deep into the fascinating story of 'The Expendables'. We uncover the story of a convoluted German intelligence operation during World War II that ineptly attempted to infiltrate Scotland with spies. The episode discusses the key players in this operation, including the enigmatic figure, Vera Erickson. We learn that the mission was a complete disaster, marked by incompetence and desperate measures. Vera, a beautiful and manipulative woman, is highlighted as one who deftly navigates the convoluted web of espionage. Our co-host, Tom, undertakes a detailed cold case review of the operation, identifying key failures and fantastical elements that seem almost too absurd to be true. In the end, listeners are left considering the calamity of the operation, the mysterious nature of Vera Erickson, and the broader context of intelligence operations during World War II.
