When undercover cameras rolled inside Winterbourne View Hospital, the truth was worse than anyone imagined.

What was meant to be a safe, specialist unit for vulnerable adults was, in reality, a place of torment — a system-wide failure hiding in plain sight.

In this episode, we trace the shocking abuse uncovered by BBC Panorama, the promises made in its aftermath, and the uncomfortable truth more than a decade on: despite national pledges and sweeping reforms, thousands of people with learning disabilities are still living in hospital units miles from home.

This is the real story of Winterbourne View — the cruelty, the cover-ups, and the long shadow it still casts across the UK care system.

Michael O’Leary received a surprising message from an unexpected source — his lover’s husband. Using a secret phone, the message asked for a “cwtch” and drew him to Cincoed Farm in Cwmffrwd. But what seemed like a simple rendezvous quickly turned sinister. This episode unravels the tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and deception that set the stage for one of Wales’ most chilling cases.

When successful businessman Amarjit “Nil” Chohan suddenly vanished in February 2003, his wife Nancy knew something was wrong... And within days, Nancy, their two young sons, and even Nancy's elderly mother had also disappeared, leaving behind a silent house, unanswered phones, and a growing sense of dread.

As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a shocking conspiracy involving fake investors, forged documents, and a former prison inmate who had embedded himself into Nil’s life. What began as a business deal spiralled into one of the most disturbing family murders in British criminal history.

This episode unravels the Chohans’ final days, the evidence that exposed the plot, and the chilling truth behind the man who planned it all.

On the surface, he was charming, handsome, and a seemingly talented photographer. But behind the camera, Rodney was a predator—a man whose portfolio of photographs hid the evidence of his horrifying crimes. From Los Angeles to New York, Rodney preyed on young women and girls, luring them with promises of modelling and photographs before subjecting them to unspeakable violence.

If you have information about the identities of the people in the photographs, you can contact Sgt. Sam Shepherd with the Huntington Beach Police Department at (714) 536-5947.

When 32-year-old Nikki Halpin came home from work one evening, she noticed something strange... a message had been sent from her computer while she was out. A message she didn’t write.

At first, she thought it must’ve been a glitch. But then, as she walked further into her apartment, she realised she wasn’t alone.

This is the story of a chilling home invasion that began with a single, unexplained message. And ended in horror.

In this episode, we uncover the disturbing truth behind the message sent from Nikki’s computer, the man who’d been watching her, and the moment she realised she was trapped inside her own home.
