The Sailing Club: Episode 316

Felixstowe is a small town on the east coast of England where some suggest that nothing much happens. But in 1993, there was a bank robbery that put the Suffolk town on the front pages of the papers, along with the name 'Fast Eddie'. Today, on the UK True Crime podcast, I tell that story.Sponsored by:https://www.worldcarparts.co.uk/Writing and ResearchHaze at 'Murder She Wrote' podcastCrimeCon UKGet discounted tickets for this event in June 2021 using the code: UKTChttps://www.crimecon.co.ukReferenced siteswww.uktruecrime.comwww.patreon.com/uktruecrimehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeSourcesFast Eddie: My Life on the Run as Britain’s Most Wanted Criminal by Eddie Maher, Blink Publishing, 2017 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-39849458https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fast-eddie-maher-securicor-thief-5165761https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/fugitive-thief-eddie-maher-who-stole-almost-1-2m-from-2745286https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyC9QVwLqvAhttps://moneyweek.com/30481/profile-of-eddie-maher-57746 Hosted on Acast.

If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/UKTrueCrime  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was 2009 in Walthamstow, when he first struck. In the early hours of the morning he attacked and raped a stranger. This was followed by two more terrifying attacks of increasing ferocity. The next time this man attacked, he raped and murdered his 35 year old victim, Michelle Samaraweera, in a children's playground. Detectives knew he needed to be stopped.
