Seeing Red A True Crime Podcast

This week's episode tells the story of Mazher Mahmood, a journalist with the News of the World and later the Sun on Sunday.  Mazher thought he was untouchable.  Adopting the persona of a rich middle-eastern businessman, Mazher would set up celebrities, sports stars and royalty in high profile stings, using any means necessary to create a scandalous headline. Literally dozens of people went to prison off the back of his evidence. There was just one problem, he was a liar. Retribution would find its way to Mazher when he set his sights on the pop star Tulisa Contostavlos, who was instrumental in bringing him down.

We are BACK! This week's episode features the cold blooded murder of three notorious drug dealers.  Tony Tucker, Patrick Tate and Craig Rolfe were hardcore Essex criminals. But they didn't deserve to die. As they made their way down an isolated farm track one cold December night in 1995, their fate was sealed. At the end of the track lay certain death. What exactly happened to these Essex boys remains a mystery to this day. Join us as we take a deep dive in to the Essex criminal underworld to find the answers!

This week we head north, to the Scottish Highlands. Elizabeth Sutherland lived with her husband Kenny and their two young children in Culbokie, a tiny village on the Black Isle, a peninsula in north east Scotland. They lived an idyllic life, but their tight family unit was shattered in to a thousand pieces one Monday afternoon in September 1984 when Elizabeth, or Totsie as she was known, was savagely killed in her own home.

For this week's episode, we revisit the case of Elaine O'Hara, which we originally covered in season one but subsequently had to take down due to, how shall I put this, reasons pertaining to international relations...?! Bethan has some interesting updates which we will release as a separate episode on Friday. If you are not familiar with the case, Elaine was a 36 year old childcare worker from Dublin who went missing on 22 August 2012. It would be a year before her remains would be discovered and to crack the case, the Garda would have to delve in to a world of depraved BDSM...
