Interview #69 | N. Leigh Hunt Discusses School Shootings, Mass Murder and the Tragic Case of Leah Croucher

In this interview episode, I’m joined by author, crime historian, broadcaster and keynote speaker N. Leigh Hunt.

A member of the American Society of Criminology, Nick is regarded as an expert on mass shootings and school attacks. He was recognised at the inaugural True Crime Awards with a Highly Commended Award in the Best New Crime Author category for his book 𝘐 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘺𝘴 - the true story behind America’s first modern school shooting.

Nick also wanted to use this platform to raise awareness about the tragic case of Leah Croucher - a 19-year-old woman who vanished on her way to work in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in February 2019. The man believed responsible, Neil Maxwell, took his own life two months later, denying Leah’s loved ones the justice they deserved.
