The Man Behind The Blindfold : Episode 545

The Man Behind The Blindfold : Episode 545

She spent more than 100 hours with the man she believed she loved - but she never saw his face.


Kye Fortune was, to the woman at the centre of this case, a real person. They had built a relationship online and eventually met in person, but only on the condition that she wore a blindfold. What followed would lead to one of the strangest criminal cases in the UK, involving deception, identity, trust and consent.


In this episode, I tell the story of Gayle Newland and the woman who believed Kye Fortune was real.


I release new episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next story on Tuesday. I’ll also be releasing a bonus episode on Sunday - an interview with the victim of an astonishing fraud case. It’s a fascinating and very personal conversation, so I hope you’ll join me for that too.
