BONUS: James Riley

In 1993, two-year-old James Bulger was abducted from a Liverpool shopping centre by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables; a crime that horrified Britain and remains one of the most infamous true crime cases in UK history. But few remember James Riley, the fourteen-year-old local boy who discovered James Bulger’s body on the railway line in Walton.

Decades later, his name resurfaced, closing a tragic circle that began thirty years earlier. This episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime is a think piece looks beyond the headlines, at trauma, silence, and the hidden lives of those caught in the aftermath of tragedy. Because remembering people like James Riley is often as important as remembering the victims themselves.
