The Shannon Matthews Hoax: Britain’s Missing Child Scam

With OMR taking a break over Christmas, I thought I’d use this opportunity to introduce you to some of my other shows you may not have discovered yet.

In 2023, I created Crime at Bedtime — a show designed for those who enjoy a good crime story before drifting off to sleep. So here’s one of our most popular episodes to date. If you enjoy it, why not check out the almost 150 episodes available right now?

In 2008, nine-year-old Shannon Matthews vanished on her way home from school, sparking one of Britain’s largest ever missing child hunts. For 24 days the nation searched, prayed, and donated. But when Shannon was found alive less than a mile from home, the truth was more shocking than anyone imagined. This is the story of betrayal, manipulation, and the mother who staged her daughter’s disappearance.
