Welcome to ‘True Crime Investigators UK’, a new ‘True Crime’ documentary podcast (produced in association with Cornucopia Radio) which will be looking at unsolved crimes, important criminal cases and delving further into the procedural process.
The show is presented and researched by two former police officers, John and Sally. Now they are both retired and after nearly 28 years of marriage together, they review cases of interest, some solved, some undetected. Throughout this series they will be discussing the cases they are reviewing and interviewing relevant parties including Police Officers, suspects, witnesses and experts.
So come with us on this journey, and let’s see where it takes us…
Please Note: We’re featuring the first three episodes (which all deal with the 1973 murder of Wendy Sewell) here on the Cornucopia Radio website. Future episodes will only be available via the TrueCrimeInvestigators.co.uk website & podcast feed (and via twitter at @truecrimeinves) Also, more detailed case notes about the Wendy Sewell murder can also be found on that page.

Episode 3: The Wendy Sewell Murder – The Yorkshire Ripper
In the next episode of ‘True Crime Investigators UK’ we continue to investigate the murder in 1973 of Wendy Sewell in Bakewell Cemetery, asking the question if Stephen Downing didn’t kill Wendy; then who did? Was it a local man, someone known to Wendy? Or perhaps as the retired police intelligence officer Chris Clarke believes, this was actually an unreported attack by the Yorkshire Ripper? Join us as we investigate all this further and come to our final conclusions about the case.
