Episode 027: The Murder of Katie Simpson
On Aug 3, 2020, Jonathan Creswell made a call to 999 saying that he had found his partner’s sister, Katie Simpson, hanging by the banister in the home that they all lived in. Katie was transported to hospital but never regained consciousness and passed away on Aug 9, 2020. While Jonathan initially appeared as the “chief mourner” after Katie’s death, some suspicions began to be raised about if Jonathan was more involved in Katie’s death than he was letting on.
