Executed on Easter Monday: The Alan Leppard and Brenda Long Case | Ep. 241

Executed on Easter Monday: The Alan Leppard and Brenda Long Case | Ep. 241

On Easter Monday in 1991, in a quiet village in Kent, a couple spent the evening at home together. It had been a normal day, nothing out of the ordinary. But just after 10pm, a knock at the door shattered that routine. Within minutes, 43-year-old Alan Leppard had been shot dead on his own doorstep in what many would later describe as an execution-style killing. Witnesses reported seeing a mysterious American-style car circling the area, and a stranger had even been asking for Alan by name weeks before his murder.


But what followed made this case even more unsettling. Months later, Alan’s partner Brenda Long was found dead in her bath, with early reports suggesting suicide before a coroner ruled her death as unlawful killing. Two deaths, countless unanswered questions, and more than three decades later, no one has ever been brought to justice. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we explore the bizarre and unsolved double murder of Alan Leppard and Brenda Long. It's a case filled with strange twists, possible motives, and theories that still don’t quite add up.


If anyone listening has information that could lead to this case finally being solved, please contact Kent Police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
