In this fascinating episode of Crime Time Inc we hear how when Tom was promoted to Deputy Chief Constable, he found a a knife in an envelope in a cupboard which was taken from a prisoner during World War Two. This led Tom to research and uncover an amazing story which he has named The Expendables. Tom tells us about the background to the spy network employed by Germany to infiltrate Great Britain during World War 2. Tom explains how it all went wrong for Germany when France fell much earlier than anticipated and spies were required at very short notice to provide information about British defences.

We are introduced to 3 spies in particular who landed in the North East of Scotland, including Vera Erikson, who was known as The Beautiful Spy.

In the second episode of WEM, Simon and Tom discuss a murder investigation. The story revolves around two girls, Christine and Helen, who disappear after being seen in a pub in Edinburgh named The World's End, with two unknown men. The next day, the girls’ bodies are found at two different places, leading to a complicated dual investigation, managed by DCI Andrew Sudden and Tom's superior, Bert Darling. Despite the gruesome discovery and macabre investigation, they find no significant leads. The investigation reveals that the girls were murdered, sexually assaulted, and oddly missing most of their clothing. The descriptions of the strange men and their unusual accent indicated they could possibly be soldiers. Simon and Tom reminisce about the professionalism and wisdom of their superiors while acknowledging the complexity of such cases, especially with the lack of modern technology. The episode ends with a mention of similarly executed crimes from Glasgow, leading investigators to fear the emergence of a serial killer or killers.

On the night of October 15th 1977 in Edinburgh, Scotland, two young girls disappeared. They were last seen drinking in The World's End pub.

They were reported missing the next day.

On duty that day was a young Detective Sergeant who led a team of detectives into the initial investigation centred around The World's End pub.

As they began their enquiries, the bodies of two young girls matching the description of the missing teenagers were found some miles away.

That young detective would eventually lead the investigation and 37 years later was in court to see the perpetrator found guilty of the 2 murders.

That young detective went on to have a distinguished Police career and retired as the Deputy Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders Police.

However, an ever greater honour awaited the former Deputy Chief Constable in his retirement.

He became the co-host of this podcast!

There is nobody better qualified to tell the story of The World's End murders than our own Tom Wood.

So sit back and let Tom describe to you, in detail, the events surrounding the first 48 hours of the girl's disappearance.
