NB. As a welcome to new Substack subscribers, this is a reissue of an episode released in 2023.
Roy and Joan Clarke are found dead in their home in rural England in December 2004. They’ve been stabbed in a ‘ritualistic-style’ attack.
Det Ch Supt Paul Howlett’s suspicions fall on one man. But does his prime suspect have the opportunity to kill? There is little evidence at first.
But the country’s top forensic psychologist warns Paul if the suspect is the murderer ‘it’s not a question of if he will kill again, but when.’
The killer has laid the perfect alibi. Or so he thinks.
The route to justice takes some dark turns.
And twenty years on, and Roy Clarke’s daughter is still seeking answers.
