I am BACK! And so too is Bethan next week! This week, I take a deep dive into the 1986 disappearance of 25-year-old British estate agent Suzy Lamplugh. Suzy had the world at her feet when she vanished into thin air after she met a 'client' in the summer of 1986 - the infamous 'Mr Kipper'. Just what happened to Suzy and who was responsible? Join me as I look to answer those questions. www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast Theme Music arranged by Holly-Jane Shears - www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Show Sponsors: Best Fiends and www.betterhelp.com/red Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2016, 340 children were adopted in Wales. Ten month old Shayla O’Brien was one of those 340 children. Like most children put up for adoption, Shayla had entered this world under difficult circumstances. Born to a drug-addicted mother, she was added to the child protection register at birth, in November 2014. She left hospital when she was five days old and she was quickly taken into care by the Vale of Glamorgan council, before being placed with a foster family, where she remained until she was placed with an adoptive family in September 2015, at the age of ten months. This adoptive family consisted of two parents, Craig and Matthew Scully-Hicks, and a previously adopted older child. Matthew assumed the majority of the caring responsibilities for Shayla, and she remained as a 'looked after child' following her placement with the family until the making of the Adoption Order. The Adoption Order was granted in May 2016 and Shayla’s name was changed to Elsie. She was now officially a member of the Scully-Hicks family. This should have been the beginning of a happier life for Elsie, a life filled with love and opportunity… But it wasn’t to be. Just two weeks after the official adoption had been granted, Elsie would lie dead in her bed at the University of Wales Hospital, having suffered a catalogue of catastrophic injuries at the hands of Matthew Scully-Hicks. Just what happened to baby Elise... Join us as we take a deep dive into this disturbing and tragic case.

This week, in an episode researched and written by one of our listeners, Samantha Lewis, I take a deep dive into the divisive subject of illegal immigration. It's a truly tragic tale that features the deaths of 39 innocent people – 29 men, 8 women and two children, two boys who were aged just 15. They were all desperate for a new life in a country where the streets are perceived to be paved with gold. But for them, it wasn’t to be. This is the story of the Essex lorry deaths. www.vinedme.co.uk - use code seeingred10 at checkout for 10% off - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this company!

This week, I'm joined by my sister, Laura, who is a child protection expert, to discuss the torture and murder of eight-year-old Victoria Climbié. This is the story of an impoverished girl who was plucked from the volatile planes of the Ivory Coast with the promise of a new life in Europe. A life filled with luxury and opportunity. What followed, however, was a living nightmare. Just fifteen months after being rescued from her homeland, Victoria would lie dead in her bed in the intensive care unit of St Mary’s Hospital in London – the victim of one of the worst cases of child abuse in this country’s history. **Please note, despite spending an hour doing sound checks, we still managed to mess up the recording a bit! If you listen through headphones, when Laura speaks, the sound levels will appear distorted and you will only hear her in your left headphone (if you listen through your device's speaker(s), it will be fine, you'll barely notice). When I speak, which is the vast majority of the episode, it's fine, there's no distortion.** www.patreon.com/seeingredpodcast Show Sponsors: www.beer52.com/RED www.issuu.com/podcast - use code RED at checkout for 50% off Theme music arranged and composed by Holly-Jane Shears - check out her work at www.soundcloud.com/DeadDogInBlackBag Learn more about your ad choices.
