1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The public has had a long held fascination with detectives. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: Detective sy aside of life the average persons never exposed to. 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: I spent thirty four years as a cop. For twenty 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: five of those years I was catching killers. That's what 5 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: I did for a living. I was a homicide detective. 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm no longer just interviewing bad guys. Instead, I'm taking 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: the public into the world in which I operated. The 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: guests I talk to each week have amazing stories from 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: all sides of the law. The interviews are raw and honest, 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: just like the people I talked to. Some of the 11 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: content and language might be confronting. That's because no one 12 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: who comes into contact with crime is left unchanged. Join 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: me now as I take you into this world. Today, 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: I had an interesting conversation with investigative journalist Sam Poling, 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: whose work helped put a murderer behind bars. Sam interviewed 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: killer Ian Packer, which led to his eventual arrest and 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: was later convicted the murder of twenty seven year old 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: Emma Caldwell. Joining us today from Scotland, Sam took us 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: right through the case, highlighting where the investigation went wrong 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,919 Speaker 1: and how her interview played a major role in locking 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: up a predator. Just a warning up front, some of 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: the things we discuss here will be confronting. A young 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: woman's life was taken and many other women's lives were 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: destroyed by the actions of this serial predator. Packer was 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: also charged with fences against twenty two women who had 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: been raped or assulted. We also talked about how investigations 27 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: can go wrong and the role the media play in 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: bringing offenders to justice by making police accountable for their actions. 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: Sam Poling, Welcome to our Catch Killers. Thank you, it's 30 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: great to have you on. And a friend of mine, 31 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: a person that I got to know very well, Steve Kio, 32 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: contacted me and said, hey, you've got to speak to 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: this lady the work that she's done. So that got 34 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: me curious, and that led me to listening to your 35 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: podcast and looking at a bit of the work that 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: you've done and the podcast I'm referring to a third 37 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: in part who Killed Emma. I found it fascinating, so 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm really pleased we've got you here to have a 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: chat about it today. 40 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for inviting me, and I'm glad you're 41 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: at the time to listen to it. 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I started listening to it and you had 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: me hooked. So that's how I've spent last couple of 44 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: a couple of days. When you first started the investigation 45 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: into Emma Caldwell, did you have any idea how far 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: it would take you down the rabbit hole? Oh? 47 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: No, I mean, you know, I have a history with 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: investigating or looking into a number of murders of young 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: women who'd worked as prostitutes prior. I mean, my very 50 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 2: first job, and we can talk about that was the 51 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: murder of a young woman who had been working as 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: a prostitute. So over the years I'd covered a number 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: of cases. And then when Emma had been murdered, I 54 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: was working for the BBC at the time, so I 55 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: was I didn't cover it, I didn't investigate it. So 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: then when I started this investigation, I just thought, Okay, 57 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: it's just going to be another documentary, another investigation. I 58 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: never ever could have predicted that what happened would happen. 59 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 2: I never thought in a million years I would find 60 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: myself in the position that I found myself in. And 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: as it slowly unfolded, and I think, I hope you've 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: got a sense from the podcast that I genuinely did 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: not know who the killer was, where the killer was, 64 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: where we should be looking. I didn't know anything, and 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: so as it slowly came to like, yeah, it was 66 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: as much a shocked for me as it was for 67 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: those for those watching on I think. 68 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Well, it's a new medium, the podcast world looking at 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: true crime, and it really is a game change, or 70 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: isn't it. Because you've worked in media a long time. 71 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: I've worked in place a long time, but now delving 72 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: into the media side of things, and there was a 73 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: narrative that media would often just support the place, like 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: you had your contacts in the media, and the place 75 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: would feed the information. The media report the positive news stories. 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: But this new form of journalism, it's a completely different world, 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: isn't it. 78 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a completely different world. And you know, I 79 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: think once upon a time there was a world in 80 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 2: which the police and the media worked together and worked 81 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: well together. I think it's fair to say that the 82 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: relationship we used to have as journalists with the police. 83 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been doing this a long time. I've 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 2: had incredible relations relationships with the police throughout my career. 85 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: But it has changed, and as you say, the landscape's 86 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: changed and we don't have the same friendly, cozy relationship 87 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: that we used to have. You know, we used to 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: have cop contacts. My film was full of cop contacts. Now, 89 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: if you even talk to an officer, they have to 90 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: go and report, or I've had a conversation with the journalists, 91 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: or I've got enter as a journalist, And so everything 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: has changed and they are under The police are under 93 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: so much more scrutiny than ever before, I think, and 94 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: so they're very very cautious about who they talk to, 95 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: what they say, how they say it, how far they 96 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: go with what they're saying, and the information they're passing on. 97 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: So I think that has put a barrier between the 98 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: police and journalists considerably. What that has done, how is 99 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: basically the landscape I think has kind of opened up 100 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: a little bit more for them, for the journalists to 101 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: be a lot more investigative, put the police work into 102 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: a lot more scrutiny because they don't have that cozy 103 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: relationship anymore. And I think podcasts are a fantastic platform 104 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: to allow you to go in depth into an investigation. 105 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 2: You're not up against the time limit, you're not up 106 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: against an episode limit, you're not against anything other than 107 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: your own self in terms of how far you can 108 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: push something. So I think the landscape has changed, and 109 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: I think it's changed for the better, despite the kind 110 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 2: of loss of coziness, if you like, between the media 111 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: and the police. We're no longer you know. I think 112 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: you're right, you know. I think journalists did used to 113 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: get feder lined by the police, and then they would 114 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: pursue that line, and very often it wasn't questioned. It 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: was well, they're the police, and so what they're telling 116 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 2: us must be true, and now we go, okay, well 117 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: they're the police, and what they're telling us now needs 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: to be questioned, and that's what we do. 119 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Well, your experienced that in your field in the media 120 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: and your contacts of the police. The large part of 121 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: my career in policing, I saw that connection with journalism 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: and it didn't sit well with me because the narrative 123 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: could be controlled. From the place point of view, the 124 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: police would simply say that the matter's been looked at, 125 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: there's an investigation. We call them strike forces. You might 126 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: call them something different over where you are, but a 127 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 1: strike force has been informed. I knew that the strike 128 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: force might consist of one person the narrative was never 129 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: never questioned. So I think it's a step in the 130 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: right direction. And I'm yeah, I'm still very proud police. 131 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: It's not me beating up on that on PLAE. I 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: just think scrutinyeds a good thing and I think it 133 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: makes us lift lift their game. Yeah. 134 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 2: And but you know, the police, you know, you guys 135 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: have used us for years, right and understandably so, and 136 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: very often rightly so, because you want to put some 137 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: information out there, you want to pursue a line of 138 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: inquiry that you need media attention on, or perhaps you 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 2: know it's to help with an investigation, to raise the 140 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: profile of an investigation. So I understand all that, and 141 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: now that that has shifted a little bit, and I 142 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: think US journalists are not prepared to be used as 143 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: to as great an extent as we were before. I 144 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: just I think the relationship with the balance has changed 145 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: a little bit. 146 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I agree, And I know now the what 147 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: you talked of, the reluctance of place and moment the 148 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: journalist speaks to them, they ever goes into panic made. 149 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: But look, I think it's a good thing. And if 150 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: the end result is what happened in the mc coldwell case. 151 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: No one can argue the benefits of it, certainly with 152 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: cold cases or unsolved cases that it's been left in 153 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the hands of place it hasn't got a result. I 154 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: think it's beneficial to have that type of discussion and 155 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: scrutiny on the investigation. 156 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I do. I mean I was. We 157 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: were under a lot of pressure from the police not 158 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: to broadcast, right, We had phone calls from the police 159 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: begging us not to broadcast because the investigation was live, 160 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: or the investigation was at a sensitive point, or the 161 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: investigation was at a crucial point. Well, the fact is 162 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: this has been a cold case for a long time. 163 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: There had been many many years when action could have 164 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: been taken the information was there, and we will go 165 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: on to talk about what information was there. But you know, 166 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 2: you're right, there is a response ability that we all 167 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 2: have to make sure that no investigation is hindered. But 168 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: there comes a point, I think as journalists where you 169 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 2: have to sit down, look at it from a moral perspective, 170 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: look at it from the legal perspective, and then just 171 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: think what's the right thing to do in this case. 172 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: And in this situation, the right thing was to broadcast. 173 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: But it wasn't an easy decision, and I faced and 174 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: we all face a lot of criticism from some quarters 175 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: for proceeding to broadcast and proceeding to broadcast the interviews 176 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 2: that we broadcast, which eventually and ultimately led to the 177 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: conviction of a killer. 178 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that you can argue with the results of 179 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: that way and in hiding behind that it's a live investigation, 180 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: and that it might cut it in the first week 181 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: or so. But when you're talking a meato that's been 182 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: running as long as Emma's case head, surely it's been official. 183 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: But look, first, investigative journalism, how did you get into it? 184 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: And what was it that drove you to that type 185 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: of work. 186 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 2: Oh, I just wanted to be a journalist, That's all 187 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: I ever wanted to be. I think I got my 188 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: first typewriter when I was eight, and I used to 189 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: sit and write little stories in my bedroom. And then 190 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: as I grew up. There were two journalists that I 191 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: don't know if you'd have well, Roger Cook the Cook Report, 192 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: who was one of the best investigative journalists that existed 193 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: in the world for me, and every episode of his 194 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: show he was going after the bad guys anywhere around 195 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: the world, and he got into scrapes and all sorts 196 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: of things, and he always got the guy. He always 197 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: got the bad guy, and I just used to think, Oh, 198 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: I want to be him. And then there was a 199 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: woman journalist. She was the foreign correspondent for the BBC, 200 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 2: k Ad, and I used to watch her and think, 201 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 2: you are incredible, and I couldn't make my mind up 202 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: which one I wanted to because I knew I was 203 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: going to be one of them. And I thought, well, 204 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to be kat Ad. She's amazing. And then 205 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: I used to phone up people at the BBC when 206 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 2: I was like in my early teens and say, how 207 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: do I get your job? What do I have to do? 208 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: And a couple of people gave me some great advice, 209 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 2: and I would give the same advice to anybody else. 210 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: They said, go and be a newspaper reporter, because newspaper 211 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 2: reporters are the best journalists in the world, because you 212 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: have to work twice as hard on your own and 213 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: just I guess it's like being a cop, where you 214 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: work through the ranks. And I was told, work your 215 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: way through the ranks and then you'll make it. And 216 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, well that's what I'm going to do. 217 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: And I ended up going going through newspapers, local newspapers, 218 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: regional newspapers. Then I joined the National Press and worked 219 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: for press agencies and that's the toughest gig you will 220 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: ever ever have as a journalist. And then I joined 221 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: the BBC and I came across the story and I 222 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: went to my bosses and said, I've got this great, 223 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: great story and I think it could be a great 224 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: investigation done one before, and they gave me. They gave 225 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: me the opportunity to do it, and that was it. 226 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 2: I was hooked, and so I didn't become Kad Roger Cook. 227 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: So yeah, I kind of followed my dream a little 228 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: bit that way. 229 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: Well, I agree with what you say about the print 230 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: journalists working in the newspaper and a lot of journalists 231 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: that I know and look up to and greatly respect. 232 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: They always talk about the time in the original paper 233 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: reporting on cattle prices and great breakthrough stories like that, 234 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: But that's where they learned their trade. 235 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: It would be like somebody going in as a cop 236 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: to you know, a chief superintendent level who have not 237 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: you know, walked the walk. And I have literally worked 238 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: every single rank there is as a journalist.

And I 243 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: think even a couple of awards came your way in 244 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: the form of Beth the rewards which are pretty impressive. 245 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 2: Six six buffters. 246 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: You need to update, update the records on you. I've 247 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: only got three here. 248 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: Oh really get that updated? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 249 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: Well, congratulations. I just wanted people to get a sense 250 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: of who you were because the work that you did 251 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: on the Emma cardwell, I'm sure it came at a 252 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: cost to you, and we'll talk talk about that. Let's 253 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: start talking about that particular case. So can you just 254 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: tell us, give us a sense and whenever and coming 255 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: from the police and then in the media and talking 256 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: about these crimes. I always make a point of not 257 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: forgetting the victims. You know, a murder has a lot 258 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: of different layers, but it's someone's life that has been taken. 259 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: So who is Emma Emma Caudwell, can you describe her 260 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: to us? 261 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? So, I mean it is so important to keep 262 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 2: the victim at the center of this. And I think 263 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: all too often, especially in the world of true crime podcasts, now, 264 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: that it's all about sensational storytelling and forgetting about the victim. 265 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: The victim is the center of everything. Emma was a 266 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: twenty seven year old woman. She grew up in the 267 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: same village that I lived. I didn't know her. She 268 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 2: came from a really nice family, really nice family. Mom 269 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: and dad ran a pub. She had an older sister, 270 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: she had a brother. She loved horses. She would go 271 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: and help out at the stables when she could, go 272 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: riding when she could. They had a normal, happy family life. 273 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 2: They lived on the outskirts of Glasgow, about half an 274 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: hour away from the city of Glasgow. And she was 275 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 2: just I mean, I've spoken to school friends who went 276 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: to school with her. She was lovely, she was funny, 277 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: she was cheeky. If she didn't like a particular teacher 278 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: in a class, she would just go into a different classroom. 279 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: And she got away with everything because she was just 280 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: a nice girl, you know. And then one day her sister, 281 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: who'd left home, came back and told Emma's mum and dad, 282 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: Margaret and Willie, that she had been diagnosed with cancer. 283 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: She had non Hodgkins lymphoma, and she went through treatment. 284 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: She battled hard for a couple of years, and then sadly, Karen, 285 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: Emma's sister, died and Emma was really really close to Karen. 286 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: I mean they had a great, typical sister relationship. But 287 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: you know, Karen was the one that she would go 288 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: to with problems and chat and boy talk and stuff, 289 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: and Emma just Emma's world collapsed. I mean she lost 290 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: she lost everything in that moment. And she was working 291 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: at stables at the time, and grief was just something 292 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: that she she couldn't deal with. And her boyfriend, who 293 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: used to go along to the stables, just said to 294 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: her one day, you know, I've got something that can 295 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: can help you with your grief, and that was heroin. 296 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: And and so he was the person who gave Emma 297 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: her first taste of heroine and it numbed the pain. 298 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: And I guess you've heard this story a million times 299 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: from people. She became addicted, and she moved to Glasgow 300 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: to be close to the boyfriend. Her addiction grew, the 301 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: relationship didn't last, and so she was left with, you know, 302 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: no relationship, a broken heart, and a heroin addiction. And 303 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: of course heroin addiction is expensive, incredibly expensive, and so 304 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 2: she needed a way of funding that addiction, and she 305 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: turned to prostitution. This was not a world that Emma nu. 306 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: This is the thing when I mean, I know, I've 307 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: looked at there were a number of murders in Glasgow 308 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: of young women who were prostitutes. There were eight in all. 309 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 2: Emma was the eighth woman to be murdered. And the 310 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: story is very much the same. You know, the women 311 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 2: come from broken homes or broken families. They go into 312 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: the care system, they leave the care system with no support, 313 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: They end up with a drug habit. They need to 314 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 2: fund the drug habits, so they turn to prostitution. They 315 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: need the drugs to numb the pain of what they're 316 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: having to do. They need to fund that bigger habit, 317 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: so then it's more prostitution, and so this cycle just 318 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 2: goes on and on and on. This was not Emma. 319 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: Emma wasn't in the care system. She had an incredible family. 320 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 2: They did not know about her addiction. They didn't know 321 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: what she was doing to fund it. They only found out, well, 322 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: they found out about the addiction when Emma realized herself 323 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: that she was in trouble, and she had been in 324 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: bed for a couple of days poorly, and she went 325 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: downstairs and she said to Margaret, her mum. She said, look, mom, 326 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: I've got something to tell you and dad, and I 327 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 2: think I'm addicted to drugs. And they didn't know anything 328 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: about drugs. I mean, Margaret's told me so many times. 329 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 2: We didn't have a clue. And Margaret said, well, what 330 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 2: drugs and Emma said, well, it's heroine. Knew nothing about her. 331 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 2: So they bundled her up in jackets and drove her 332 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 2: to accident an emergency and said can you give us something? 333 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: And you know, the naivety in that moment for me 334 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: is heartbreaking, because they really knew nothing about about this world. 335 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: And the doctor just kind of shook her head and said, 336 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: there's there's nothing we can do. Emma moved out of 337 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: the family home and was living up in a women's 338 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: hostel and she was she was working as a prostitute. 339 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 2: And it was only when Emma went missing that they 340 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 2: found out what she'd been doing. And I remember Margaret 341 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 2: said that Willie, Emma's dad, when he found out, had 342 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: turned around and said, you know it was very typical 343 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 2: of Emma to choose a way of funding her habit 344 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 2: that only harmed herself. You know, she didn't go she 345 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 2: didn't turn to crime. 346 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that it was saying I heard heard that mentioned 347 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: in the in the podcast and the sort of a 348 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: reflection of the type of girl that Emma was. And 349 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: that's that's her father's take on it. He is a 350 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: sad story, said, story that happens happens too often often 351 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: in that environment, and as a working girl on the 352 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: streets of Glasgow, I would imagine it was a pretty 353 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: uh yeah, they were very vulnerable in that in that circumstance. 354 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: Look, I mean everybody's I think most people around the 355 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: world will have heard of Glasgow. It is an incredibly vibrant, friendly, 356 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: amazing city, always has been. But it's also got a 357 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: side to it that's violent. I mean it was the 358 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: murder capital of Europe I think at one point, and 359 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: you know, an incredibly violent place and especially for these women, 360 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: and they would go out at night. I mean the 361 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: women that I've spoken to have said, you know, I've 362 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 2: said to them, you know, have you were you ever attacked? 363 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: And they're like, was I ever not attacked? 364 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: You? 365 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: Know, women would keep books as to who raped them, 366 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: not so that they could avoid that person that next time, 367 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: but so that they knew what they would be in 368 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 2: for when they went with these men, because they were 369 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: so desperate they needed the money, and you know, they 370 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 2: would work in an area of Glasgow it's called the 371 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 2: Drag and Glasgow is a grid like the roads are 372 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 2: set out in a grid, so up and down, left 373 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: and right and one way system and there's the Drag 374 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: is like a rectangular you can drive around and the 375 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 2: women would all stand on the four corners and that 376 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: way when the cars are stopped at the traffic lights. 377 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 2: If the police catch them, they go, oh, I've just 378 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: stopped at the traffic lights. But they're not. They're stopping 379 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: for the girls. And these women were selling themselves for 380 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 2: as little as you know, ten pounds, you know, out 381 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: push twenty pounds because they needed the money. And they 382 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 2: would go out at night and they would be raped, 383 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 2: sexually assaulted, beaten. I know some of the women were scalped. 384 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: At one point one man was going around doing that. 385 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: There were the most frightening, horrific attacks and this was 386 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 2: a whole new world for someone, well for any woman, right, 387 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: But for someone like Emma who had did not know 388 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: this world at all, and she struggled on the streets, 389 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 2: you know, because she wasn't tough, she wasn't street wise, 390 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: she knew nothing. And the attacks don't just come from 391 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: the clients. The attacks come from the other women because 392 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: you're now on their patch. It's a new girl. Emma 393 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 2: was really attractive, and she wasn't so far into her 394 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: heroin addiction where she was so thin, and this has 395 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: started to take away how she looked, and so she 396 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 2: used to get, you know, beaten and hurt really quite 397 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: badly by some of the women. And it was a 398 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: tough life for her, a tough life for so many 399 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: of the women. And remember this is against the backdrop 400 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 2: of murder after murder after murder of prostitutes in the 401 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: city in the previous years. It was terrifying. 402 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: The circumstances, sarianning Emma's disappearance and the discovery of her 403 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: remind so can you talk us through that? Yes. 404 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: So it was April and Emma would go out most nights. 405 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: She would leave about ten or eleven o'clock at night. 406 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: She phoned her mum every day. Right, they had a 407 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: great relationship. Every single day, she'd phone her mom. Every 408 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 2: single day, she would go to a chemist to pick 409 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: up her methadone prescription as she was trying to get 410 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: help with her heroin addiction. And every single day, in 411 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: the early hours of the morning, she would return back 412 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: to the hostel where she was staying, and she took 413 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 2: the same route every single evening into the city center. 414 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: And this one night she left us and all she 415 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: phoned her mom. Her mom and dad used to see 416 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: her twice a week on a Wednesday and a weekend, 417 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: and they would take all her dirty washing, wash it 418 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 2: all iron it, give it back to her, and do 419 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: a swap with the dirty washing. And she was due 420 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: to see them, but they had phoned and said, listen, Emma, 421 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: we're getting carpet fitted, so maybe we'll come and see 422 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 2: you tomorrow night. And she said, yeah, that's cool, that's fine. 423 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 2: She went off to work that night as normal. They 424 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 2: obviously did not know where she was going what she 425 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: was doing. The following day, William's dad said to Margaret, 426 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: I've tried phony Emma, and she's not picking up. I 427 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: hope she's okay. Margaret said, she'll be fine. Don't worry. 428 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: So they tried again, and they tried the next day 429 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: and the next day, and nothing. And not only was 430 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: she not answering the phone, she hadn't returned to the hostel, 431 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: she hadn't gone to the chemist to pick up her prescription. 432 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 2: Nobody had seen her. And Margaret and Willie they had 433 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: gone to the police and said, look, our daughter's missing. 434 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: And that's that's when they reported her missing a few 435 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: days later, and the police at that point checked Emma out, 436 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 2: checked out, you know, and the police files, and they 437 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: sat down and they said to Margaret, well, I mean, 438 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: you you do know that your daughter frequents the city center, 439 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: don't you. And Margaret thought, well, we go shopping and 440 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: the city said and she said, well we frequent the 441 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: city yeah, And the police said, no, no, no, she 442 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: frequents it. She's a prostitute. And that's the moment that, 443 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 2: you know, these parents find out how their daughter has 444 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: been has been funding this habit and what she's doing. 445 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: And so of course, now not only do they have 446 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: the missing daughter, not only do they now know that 447 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: she's been working as a prostitute, but put all of 448 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: that together, she's also missing. And you know this this 449 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 2: was absolutely horrific on what you know, because there had 450 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: been so many murders of women the police which were unsolved. Right, 451 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: These were unsolved murders. It wasn't like there was a 452 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 2: murder of a young woman and within a few months 453 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: they've got the killers. These killers were out there. They 454 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: were unsolved murders. 455 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: You're talking night in what over? How many is the 456 00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: way over? 457 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: About ten years? Yeah, in the lead up. Yeah, and 458 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: Emma was the eighth eighth woman to be murdered. So, 459 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,239 Speaker 2: I mean I covered a number of the murders. They 460 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: were my first jobs as a journalism with the press 461 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 2: agencies in the national papers, and so against that backdrop, 462 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: you know, understandably terrified the police thinking and realizing when 463 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: they looked into Emma, this is not someone who goes missing. 464 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 2: And a massive missing person's inquiry was launched and they 465 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 2: you know, there were billboards around the city, they were 466 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 2: missing person posters. They were stopping men in the street, 467 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 2: in the red light area, around the drag have you 468 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: seen this girl? Do you know this woman? Are you 469 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: a client? Do you use any of the women? Do 470 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 2: you pay for sex with any of the women? You know, 471 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: they were just doing everything and Emma was and there's 472 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: no polite way to say this. Emma was very busy 473 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: in her line of work. She was very popular with 474 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: the clients. She had two mobile phones. When the police 475 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: took her phones, there were two of them, and she 476 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 2: had dozens and dozens and dozens of contact names and 477 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: details in her phones of clients. So the police are 478 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: suddenly faced with this mammoth task of where Emma's going, 479 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 2: who she knows, who her friends are, what clients that 480 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: she has, regular clients, clients that she has in her phone. 481 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 2: But that's only a handful in comparison to the rest 482 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: of them. So they already have hundreds of men to 483 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 2: be looking at that they're aware of. Then there's men 484 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 2: that just turn up in the city and stop and 485 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 2: pick her up. Then there's men that come from out 486 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 2: with the city. Then there's men that come from out 487 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 2: with the country, and they're from down south in England. 488 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: So you are talking thousands of men that they are 489 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: having to try and track down. 490 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: And broad investigation from the start. 491 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: Isn't massive massive. 492 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: When was Emma's body fan there? 493 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 2: So she goes missing in April, and then five weeks 494 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: later there is a dog walker walking in some woods 495 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 2: about an hour from Glasgow. It's about forty six miles 496 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 2: just off the main motorway south between Scotland and England, 497 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: about half an hour drive from the motorway. In the 498 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: middle of nowhere. If I gave you a map Gary 499 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 2: and said go find this place, you would not find it. 500 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 2: And in the middle of a forest, a dog walker 501 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: came across a body. The body was naked, with some 502 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: bruising and what looked like a cord or a rope 503 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 2: wrapped around the neck. It was a woman. He called 504 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: the police. The police turned up and Emma had a 505 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: very distinctive tattoo on her shoulder. So from that and 506 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 2: from other other inquiries, it was the body was identified 507 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 2: to be Hemma cold Well. So that was five weeks 508 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 2: after she'd gone missing, and five weeks of one of 509 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: the biggest missing person's inquiries that you could imagine, and 510 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 2: that's where she was found. Strange, very strange location. None 511 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: of the other women, and this was what was different. 512 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 2: None of the other women had been murdered, had been 513 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: found like this. This was different from the off. 514 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: The others I assume had been left at the scene 515 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: or not as far away from where they were working. Yeah. 516 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 2: The majority of women found in a car park, found 517 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 2: in a lay by, found in a bus stop, one 518 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: beaten to death in her flat, but you know layby's 519 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 2: car parks where they worked. 520 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and my understanding these the cause of death was 521 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: put down to strangulation. 522 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the cause of death was strangulation. That 523 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: wasn't revealed for quite some time. In fact, Margaret, the 524 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: family weren't old for two years how Emmera died because 525 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: it was deemed to be well, you'll understand this specialist knowledge. 526 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: So it was never really revealed how she died. But yes, 527 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 2: she'd been strangled and her body it was described as 528 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: the deposition site. Right, So everybody from the office like, okay, 529 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: so she'd been taken their dead and dumped and that 530 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: was that was what we all thought, and the well thought. 531 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. And now your observation from from the outside looking 532 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: at the investigation, you said it was thorough. I picked 533 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: up on billboards, posters and all that. It seems like 534 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: a lot of resources went into the investigation. What was 535 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: what was your assessment before you actually involved yourself in 536 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: the investigation, You thought things were running along nicely. 537 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean having covered the previous murders of women, 538 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 2: you know, they were resourced. Well, there was always a 539 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: porter cabin put up in the plate and you know, 540 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 2: in the on the drag, there was always a police 541 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: port cabin on the drag, and you know the women 542 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 2: were always aware of the police presence and that you know, 543 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: there were investigations. This one was, I mean this this 544 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: grams and legs. This was a massive investigation and from 545 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 2: the outside looking in, you know, it was it was 546 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 2: well resourced, it was, it was hugely resourced. Very quickly, well, 547 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 2: very quickly, within a few months, I can't remember the 548 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 2: exact time frame, but not long after Emma's bodies found. 549 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: You know, within the first two years, they had made arrests. 550 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: You know, they had found their suspects and it was 551 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: four Turkish men and they had evidence to show that 552 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: these they believed the four Turkish men had killed Emma 553 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 2: and deposited her body, kept her body hidden for five 554 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 2: weeks and then deposited her body down in these woods. 555 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 2: And they were arrested and charged and well that's it great, 556 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: going to trial. Everybody's happy. You know, this was one 557 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: of the successful cases. 558 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: And that's how it would have been looked at publicly 559 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: from there, just a structure of an investigation team there, 560 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm aware of it. That just make sure we're on 561 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: the same page that you have a senior officer with 562 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: specialist experience in murder investigation, and then the task force 563 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: as we call it here all the investigation term is 564 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: comprised of specialist detectives and other detectives brought him from 565 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: different different areas like call detectives. 566 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you had the SiO was in place and 567 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: he was in charge of the investigation. And then what 568 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: they did with they had I think it was called 569 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: mutual mutual aid where they brought in police officers from 570 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: other police stations and policing areas to come in and 571 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 2: help on the investigation. And that's how big this inquiry was. 572 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it was absolutely massive. And it was only 573 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: when within a very short amount of time, I mean days, 574 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: they got hold of Emma's phone. They realized that the 575 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: last phone call that Emma's phone had made was to 576 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: a Turkish man who she had had been a client 577 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 2: of hers on one previous occasion. Her phone pinged at 578 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: the mobile phone mast outside or around the corner from 579 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: a Turkish cafe so they were like, Okay, we've got 580 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: a Turkish client, We've got a Turkish cafe. And the 581 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: Turkish cafe was run by a man who had was 582 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: a convicted sex offender, so they had that, and then 583 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: they were getting evidence and statements from women who worked 584 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: on the street alongside Emma who were saying, oh, yeah, yeah, 585 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 2: we know the cafe, we go there, we have sex 586 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 2: with lots of Turkish men. They're aggressive, they're violent. I've 587 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: been raped, I've been attacked. And then they do the 588 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: forensics and they find a spot of blood on a 589 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: quilt inside the cafe, and so I mean, you can 590 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 2: imagine this is just gold, this is gold dust to 591 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: to the to the inquiry, and that's when it takes 592 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: it takes a different turn. 593 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: And I think also, if I understand it properly too, 594 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: one of the Turkish men left the country that die 595 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: after Imma disappeared, or around the same time, to go 596 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: and get married. 597 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: And yes, yeah, a police officer, and you find out 598 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: he's left the country. 599 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: You'd be looking at. And then the forensic examination, the 600 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: spot of blood on the bed, on the bed in 601 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: the cafe, I can understand that. And they also had 602 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: listening devices in place for a long time. 603 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: So they put listening devices in fairly quickly once they 604 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: realized that one of the Turkish men had been a 605 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 2: client and they had left the country and with the 606 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: evidence about the cafe, So listening devices and not just 607 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: listening devices, but also cameras were put into the cafe. 608 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 2: They were put into people. You know, there were bugs 609 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 2: put into homes, businesses, cars, I mean, the place was 610 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 2: a wash with bugs put in by the police. And 611 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: the police was sitting there twenty four to seven listening 612 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 2: to the conversations within this Turkish community in the hope 613 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: that they could pick up evidence of these men talking 614 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: about what had happen to Emma. The problem is none 615 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 2: of these cops speak Turkish. 616 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: And that was the biggest is a is a problem. 617 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: So they brought in some Turkish speaking officers. And the 618 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 2: problem was these Turkish speaking officers, I mean, we found 619 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: out one of them said, well, I mean I've got 620 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 2: a no level in Turkish, if that helps, And one 621 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: of the other officers said, well, I mean my Turkish 622 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 2: is not that great. But you know, these were the 623 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 2: translators and the interpreters who were being relied upon and Also, 624 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 2: you've got to remember the bugs. They're probably much better nowadays, 625 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: but back in two thousand and five and six and seven, 626 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 2: you know, technology wasn't as. 627 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: Good cafe, and I could imagine it'd be very hard 628 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: to decipher exactly what's being said, why this was all 629 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: going on. There was other information coming in the packer, 630 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: and I just want to hold on to that information 631 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: because I want to talk about that later. But we'll 632 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: just explore this line with the Turkish Men. So look, 633 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: from the outside, the police have got their suspects. It 634 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: fits nicely with the information they've got. They've been charged. 635 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 1: Everyone sort of steps back, wait for it to come 636 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: to trial. Fill apart at the trial. But didn't it 637 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: with the the translations, Yeah, wells mistranslated and misinterpreted. 638 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: I mean, Gary, if I ever get to the bottom 639 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 2: of the translations, that will be a good day. Basically, 640 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: they were waiting. They were listening for so long and 641 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,479 Speaker 2: listening to try and hear specialist knowledge, something that only 642 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: the killer or the killers could know. And then one 643 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 2: day they hear apparently a conversation where one of the 644 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: Turkish Men says, oh, yes, the girl, we killed her. 645 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 2: Khalil killed her. And he hid her clothes in the 646 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 2: bushes by the casino. Right now, to the listening police, 647 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: you're like, okay, well, if we go to those bushes 648 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: and we find Emma's clothes in the bushes by the casino, 649 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 2: that specialist knowledge, only they could know, only the kill 650 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 2: or killers could know. Brilliant slam dunk. So they go 651 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: to the bushes and they find a T shirt and 652 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 2: they find a key ring, and it's a horse shoe keyring. 653 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,279 Speaker 2: Now remember I told you Emma loved horses. Yeah, she 654 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,879 Speaker 2: worked dinner stables. She was horse obsessed. And they found 655 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: a black T shirt. Now the black T shirt would 656 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: was I mean it was massive, right, it was massive, 657 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 2: and I believe they found a cardigan. I mean, none 658 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,680 Speaker 2: of the clothing was ever proved forensically to be Emma's 659 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 2: number one no forensic link. Secondly, Emma hadn't been wearing 660 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 2: those items when she was last seen on CCTV leaving 661 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 2: the hostel that day, so she hadn't been wearing them, 662 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,240 Speaker 2: and they never were able to link the horseshoe keyring 663 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: to Emma. Despite this, this is specialist knowledge. The four 664 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 2: Turkish men are arrested and they're charged and it goes 665 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 2: heads to trial. I mean they're remanded, they're in prison. 666 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 2: I mean they're in Barliny, the notorious BARLINI. If you 667 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 2: have committed a crime and you're in this prison, that's tough. 668 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 2: If you have done nothing and you're in for the 669 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 2: merger of you know, of a young woman, you know, 670 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,959 Speaker 2: you don't imagine. And then one of the lawyers says, well, 671 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 2: I want to get the translations checked and let's just 672 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: see whether it does say yeah. So they get them 673 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 2: checked and not only was what was said not exactly said, 674 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 2: but some of the translations didn't exist at all. It 675 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,479 Speaker 2: just was not said. So the case collapses. All four 676 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 2: men are released and that's it. Case goes cold. And 677 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: so you have four men who've spent time remanded for 678 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: a brutal murder who are now suddenly told well, that's it, 679 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 2: off you go. They're not told you didn't do it, 680 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 2: no charges against you. There, You're being released. Were still 681 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 2: looking into it, right. 682 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,280 Speaker 1: Look, I don't know enough about the investigation to comment 683 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: on what causes causes this, but to me, looking from 684 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: the outside, it seems like a case of group think 685 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: where the you've got a case theory and you're making 686 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: the evidence what skinny the evidence it was mets the 687 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: case case theory. But thoughts well, I. 688 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 2: Mean, look, I've spoken you can imagine I've spoken to 689 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: many officers. I had to wait until many of the 690 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 2: officers had retired before I could. They would, you know, 691 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 2: dare to speak to me because they were terrified. And 692 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 2: you know, the one thing keeps coming back is, look, 693 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,399 Speaker 2: this was driven by ego. This is what they say. 694 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,480 Speaker 2: This was driven by you know, wanting to not just 695 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 2: catch a killer, but they believe that this community. Look, 696 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 2: it's not a community cafe. They it was kind of 697 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 2: I describe it in the podcast as park cafe, park 698 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 2: gang heart. I mean, it was horrible. Things happened in 699 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 2: this cafe, utterly horrible things happened in this cafe to many, 700 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 2: many women, and I think and there were rumors about 701 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 2: what they were going to get was their trafficking, was 702 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 2: their drugs, There were weapons, and it just it just 703 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 2: got out of control. I mean, they spent four million 704 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 2: on this. 705 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the way it was described and I 706 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 1: can only imagine the resourcing that went into it. But 707 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 1: were satisfied based on the evidence that was presented at 708 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,959 Speaker 1: the core that got fri and they at the court 709 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: they were acquitted. When did you become involved from a 710 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: working point of view to look at the investigation? Was 711 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: that after the acquittal? 712 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was in two thousand and seven. Right, 713 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 2: the case gets thrown out of court, it collapses, it 714 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 2: goes cold. Then in twenty fifteen, it's the tenth anniversary 715 00:39:53,040 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 2: of Emma's disappearance and murder and a Sunday newspaper an 716 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 2: anniversary piece, and they're the front page of this newspaper, 717 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 2: I think it was called the Forgotten Suspect, and they 718 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: have a picture of a man and they name him 719 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 2: and he's called the Ian Packer, and they say this 720 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 2: man was interviewed by police as part of the inquiry 721 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 2: and they had managed to get hold of some of 722 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 2: his statements that had given to police at the time, 723 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 2: and in the statements he talks about having gone to 724 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 2: a remote wooded location with a number of women, including Emma. 725 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,760 Speaker 2: And they name this man. I mean, it was very 726 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 2: very brave of them to do this, but they name 727 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 2: this man and say, look, you know, surely he's a 728 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 2: potential suspect, and surely you know if this case is 729 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 2: cold and it wasn't the turkish Men. It clearly wasn't 730 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 2: the turkish Men. Look at this guy. And so that 731 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 2: was in twenty fifteen, and the case just kind of 732 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 2: nothing happens. Right, the police said immediately we are going 733 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 2: to look at this investigation again. But what they actually 734 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 2: did was decide they were more interested, they were more 735 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 2: interested in trying to track down who them all was 736 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 2: because they believed there was a leak in the merging 737 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 2: inquiry to the to the Sunday Mail journalists, rather than 738 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: actually go after the killer of them. 739 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 1: Stop there saying I always find that, Sorry, I always 740 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: just find that amazing. I just wanted to jump in 741 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,280 Speaker 1: on that bit that I've seen that time and time again, 742 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: more if it goes into finding it where information has 743 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: leaked from, if it's critical of police or harmed police, 744 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: than the actual investigations. Sorry, I just had to jump 745 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: in there because I say, and it resonates with. 746 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 2: You, yeah, exactly. And what they did was they ended 747 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:40,560 Speaker 2: up carrying out unlawful surveillance on the journalists, right, and 748 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,200 Speaker 2: some retired cops to try and find out who the 749 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 2: leak was. Now, there was no leak, right, there was 750 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 2: no leak at all the information had clearly come from 751 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 2: out with the police. So anyway, this made the headlines 752 00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,720 Speaker 2: and that was the story rather than well, who actually 753 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 2: killed Emma Coldwell? So that's twenty fifteen, and then it 754 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: just goes quiet. And then I did an investigation in 755 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen where I investigated the police, pointed fingers at 756 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 2: the police for a number of botched investigations that had 757 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 2: been carried out that were appalling. And then about two 758 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 2: weeks after we broadcast, I received a letter out of 759 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: the blue, like nobody receives letters nowadays, do we. And 760 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 2: I remember getting this letter with a stamp on it 761 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 2: and hand of written, and I'm just being all excited, 762 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 2: going all right, great a letter. And I only get 763 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 2: letters like that from prisoners. Prisoners writes me all the 764 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,919 Speaker 2: time because of my job. And I was like, all right, okay, fine, 765 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 2: but it's got a stamp on it, and I'll have 766 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 2: a look. And I open this letter and this letter 767 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 2: is there's a letter in there to the Chief Constable 768 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: from a man called Ian Packer saying I'm i in Packer. 769 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 2: I was questioned as part of the Mmacldorn investigation, and 770 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 2: I want to know what information you have on your 771 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 2: system about me, and I'm sending a copy of this 772 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 2: letter to the journalist Sam Poling and just to let 773 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 2: you know. Right, So I thought, okay, this is very odd. 774 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 2: Ian Packer. I know that name, Ian Packer. How do 775 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,279 Speaker 2: I know this name? I mean, honestly, Gary, It wasn't 776 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 2: like I opened it and went shit. I opened it 777 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 2: and went I know that name from somewhere. And of 778 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 2: course it was Ian Packer. And we'd mentioned him in 779 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 2: the documentary that I'd just done. And I thought, all right, okay, 780 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 2: because i'd been looking into the unlawful surveillance and that 781 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 2: kind of watched the investigation. So I wrote a letter 782 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 2: back to Ian Packer and just said, Hien, thanks very 783 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 2: much for your letter. Bit confused as to why you've 784 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,360 Speaker 2: sent me this, but why don't we meet up for 785 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 2: a coffee and here's my email address? And he emailed 786 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 2: back and said, yeah, but it has to be off 787 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 2: the record. I want your definition of off the record, 788 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 2: and he was insistent, I want your definition. So I 789 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 2: told him what my definition was of off the record 790 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 2: and the kind of moral code by which we journ 791 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 2: this work, and he said, okay, final, let's meet for 792 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 2: a coffee. And so that was early twenty eighteen and 793 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 2: I went and met Ian Packer for a coffee. He 794 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:21,799 Speaker 2: came with his girlfriend. Yeah, Yeah, he was strange. He 795 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 2: was very nervous, he was very anxious. I've never been 796 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 2: in the presence of somebody, and I've said this to 797 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 2: a few people, I've never been in the presence of 798 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 2: somebody who has been so angry, constantly in his demeanor 799 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,400 Speaker 2: and his just this seething rage that would sit underneath. 800 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 2: And he would stare at me, and I used to say, look, 801 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 2: are you're okay meeting for this coffee, and he'd be like, oh, yep, yep, yep, 802 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,399 Speaker 2: and snap out of it. And then slowly his face 803 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 2: would sink back to this kind of just anger underneath. 804 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 2: And he had such a powerful build. Remember looking at him, 805 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 2: just thinking strange, But he was open. He said to me, look, 806 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 2: I was questioned by the police on a number of occasions. 807 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 2: They at one point thought I did it, and I 808 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 2: didn't do it. And you know the consequences of being 809 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,280 Speaker 2: questioned by the police, and the consequences of the twenty 810 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 2: fifteen newspaper article where it pointed the finger. It means 811 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,919 Speaker 2: that I was a suspect. It's ruined my life. I've 812 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 2: lost my business. People point fingers at me in the street, 813 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 2: they call me murderer. And this has destroyed me. And I, 814 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 2: you know, I want compensation, and I want to find 815 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: out what the police have gotten me, and I'd like 816 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 2: your help. And I said, well, okay, Well I don't 817 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 2: know anything about the case. I mean, and I didn't. 818 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,440 Speaker 2: I knew what the public had read. And I said, okay, 819 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 2: And I remember his girlfriend. I mean, you know, Gary, 820 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,040 Speaker 2: you will probably, I think, be the same. It's very 821 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 2: often not the person the target that you're interested in. 822 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 2: It's who they surround themselves with that gives you the 823 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: most clique. 824 00:45:59,120 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 825 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:06,040 Speaker 2: And his girlfriend was articulate, intelligent, forthright, like a dog 826 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,000 Speaker 2: with a bone. And she said, listen, I have asked Ian, 827 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 2: did you kill Emma? And I would know if he did, 828 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 2: you know, I would know. I have never let this 829 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 2: drop and I know he didn't, and that's why I'm 830 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,919 Speaker 2: standing by him. And you know, we want your help. 831 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,360 Speaker 2: So that was the first of many meetings between myself 832 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:33,320 Speaker 2: and Ian Packer, and I said to him, all right, well, 833 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 2: I'll look into the investigation like I'll look into the 834 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 2: police investigation, because he said, look, the investigation was investigation 835 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 2: was corrupt, the investigation was wrong, and they targeted me 836 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 2: and definitely wasn't me, and it was definitely the turkishman, 837 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 2: you know. And I didn't know anything about the Turkish case. 838 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,720 Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, okay, well fine, because 839 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,959 Speaker 2: look Gary, and you will know this again as well. 840 00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 2: To arrest and charge one wrong man is a mistake. 841 00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 2: Right to arrest and charge four wrong men, that does 842 00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: not happen. It has not happened for many, many years. 843 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 2: You know, we're talking Guildford for Birmingham, six. 844 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:15,279 Speaker 1: To other cases that come to mind, like grab a 845 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: group like that. 846 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, so'ting. I'm sitting with this guy who has approached me, 847 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,800 Speaker 2: who has been open and honest to me, and said, 848 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 2: I was questioned, I yes, I knew Emma. I you know, yes, 849 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 2: I used em I paid it for sex, I used prostitutes. 850 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 2: Ask me anything you like, and I will tell you 851 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 2: the truth, anything about that life, anything about the police 852 00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 2: investigation where I'm concerned, and I will answer your questions. 853 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 2: But you need to look into the case. And I said, okay, fine, 854 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 2: would you if I do look into the case and 855 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 2: bearing in mind, this is not just at the first meeting. 856 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 2: This is meeting after meeting, after meeting. Yeah, and you 857 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 2: know I would sit there and spend hours with them, 858 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 2: hours with him. You know, I'm into motorbikes and he's 859 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,919 Speaker 2: into motorbikes. So we would go farf an hour talking 860 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,439 Speaker 2: about motorbikes or dogs and you know his dog, and 861 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 2: you know, we talk about stuff, and you know, it'd 862 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 2: text and they've gone holiday in text, and you know 863 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,320 Speaker 2: we're not friends, but you know, he's a good contact 864 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 2: at that point. And so I said, okay, I'll look 865 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,319 Speaker 2: into the case. And eventually I said to look right, 866 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,359 Speaker 2: because I'm thinking it must be the Turkish men and 867 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 2: the police they had it right, because they're not going 868 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 2: to get it wrong, are they for it? 869 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,279 Speaker 1: And they're not throwing the hands up sighing, oh we 870 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:29,879 Speaker 1: got it wrong. 871 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 2: We're looking for someone else still exactly exactly. And here's 872 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 2: this guy. This is great television, isn't it. So I've 873 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 2: got this guy, this, this this victim almost of a 874 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 2: miscarriage of justice, this victim of a set of the 875 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,239 Speaker 2: most unfortunate coincidences, been to the same words, well, is 876 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 2: it the same words? We didn't even know the same words, 877 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 2: you know, any new Emma and he liked them and 878 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 2: all these things. But you know, Emma was very popular 879 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,240 Speaker 2: in her line of work. She had lots of clients. 880 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 2: So I said, I'll look into the case. Would you 881 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,200 Speaker 2: do an interview and I will then go away and 882 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 2: investigate everything and get you back and show you what 883 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 2: I've got. In my mind thinking well, I'm going to 884 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 2: be confronting him with okay, we've discovered the police said this, 885 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 2: and the police did that, you know so and he 886 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 2: said absolutely, Sam, whatever it's going to take, that's that's 887 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 2: what I'll do. And I thought, well, this is great. 888 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 2: So I started looking into it and then I go 889 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 2: on holiday by coincidence, to Turkey. And it's while I'm 890 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,399 Speaker 2: in Turkey I get a phone call from someone i'd 891 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,759 Speaker 2: never spoken to before. I didn't know him. I will 892 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 2: not name him. And he said, I understand you're looking 893 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 2: into him a coldwell case. I said that's right, I am. 894 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 2: And he said to someone you need to talk to 895 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 2: as a journalist. So and his name's Aim and O'Connor. 896 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,800 Speaker 2: So I said, well, I'm in Turkey, I'll fly back tomorrow. 897 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 2: Phone and went on Monday. So I phoned this journalist 898 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 2: who I knew, I knew of very good journalists, and 899 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,359 Speaker 2: I said, A and Sam, I'm looking to the mc 900 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 2: coldwell case. And he said, oh right, okay, what you're 901 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,680 Speaker 2: doing about it? And I said, oh, well, I'm going 902 00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 2: to show that. You know, it was a total, you know, 903 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 2: total bad investigation, and they you know, they had the 904 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,239 Speaker 2: right people and they let them go. And there was 905 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 2: I remember, there was this silence and he said, Sam, 906 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,279 Speaker 2: who do you think killed Emma? And I said, well, 907 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,399 Speaker 2: what Wasn't it the Turkish men? And he said there 908 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 2: was the Ian packer And he said, I can, I can. 909 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 2: I can show you evidence which will help you with that. 910 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 2: And so, to cut a very long story short, we 911 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 2: met up and he showed me evidence which was the 912 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,120 Speaker 2: same evidence that the Sunday Mail had had, and these 913 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,360 Speaker 2: were relating to the statements that the impacker had given. 914 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,720 Speaker 2: When I read through the statements, which I'd never seen before, 915 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 2: I started to notice things which I hadn't noticed before. 916 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,800 Speaker 2: The women that he was seeing, the women he was 917 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 2: paying sex for, how he would attack them. They would describe. 918 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,800 Speaker 2: Because I managed to find and get information from women 919 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,760 Speaker 2: at the time, who had been attacked. They would describe 920 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,439 Speaker 2: certain jewelry that this man would wear. When I met 921 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,120 Speaker 2: with him, he wore the same jewelry. And I started 922 00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,279 Speaker 2: to look into the location of where Packer said that 923 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,760 Speaker 2: he took women, and it was the exact same location 924 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 2: where Emma's body was found. So you started to have 925 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,200 Speaker 2: this jigsaw that was being put together in my head. 926 00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 2: And I'll never forget sitting there looking at this staff 927 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:56,000 Speaker 2: and reading about his jewelry and reading about the location, 928 00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 2: and reading about things that he was describing to the police. 929 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 2: I knew because I'd spoken to the women involved, So 930 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,919 Speaker 2: I had all the pieces of the jigsaw at that point, 931 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:14,760 Speaker 2: and I just remember sitting there in utter disbelief, thinking, Okay, 932 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,879 Speaker 2: you have been lying to me this whole time, this 933 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,200 Speaker 2: whole time, and I'm not someone who you can lie 934 00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 2: too easily. Like I mean, if you tell me you 935 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 2: didn't take the last biscuit, Gary, I promise you I 936 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 2: will hunt you down until I can prove you took 937 00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,560 Speaker 2: the last biscuit, right, And you're lying, And he had been. 938 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,200 Speaker 2: Look I knew that he wasn't going to be telling 939 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 2: me the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But 940 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 2: the fact he had come to me, the fact he 941 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 2: was being open and approachable, the fact he was just 942 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 2: constantly wanting this contact, And I just slowly began to 943 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 2: realize that not only had he there was an attack 944 00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 2: on Emma behind some billboards and glass, actually about a 945 00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 2: couple of hundred yards where I'm sitting today, and she 946 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,880 Speaker 2: had been raped by a man and it was described, 947 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 2: his vom was described and everything. So I suddenly realized, 948 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 2: putting the jigsaw together, it was Ian Packer who had 949 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 2: raped Emma in before she goes missing, in the months 950 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,399 Speaker 2: before she goes missing. I then realized that this man 951 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 2: is also responsible for a number of rapes of women. 952 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,440 Speaker 2: I then realize he's responsible for a number of abductions 953 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:32,040 Speaker 2: of women. I then realize he's responsible for a number 954 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 2: of women being taken to a remote wooded location which 955 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 2: sounded very similar to the one where Emma's body was found. 956 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 2: And then I discover that he had taken Emma to 957 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 2: those very same woods on six occasions prior to her murder. So, 958 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 2: in a split moment, I realized that the man that 959 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 2: I've been meeting for months is a rapist, a violent, 960 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 2: aggressive man who has raped and murdered Emma Caldwell. And 961 00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 2: that's a moment that you don't forget. And then remember, 962 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 2: I still have to meet this. 963 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:15,759 Speaker 1: Man, Okay, well you. 964 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 2: Still yeah, I've still got to interview him, and I've 965 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 2: still got to go in and do a full investigation. 966 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 2: And part of part of the evidence that I was 967 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 2: finding was was after we did the first interview. So 968 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,920 Speaker 2: when I did the first interview, I knew it was 969 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 2: likely that he had killed Emma. Not one hundred percent, 970 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 2: but most likely. I knew about some of the attacks. 971 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,800 Speaker 2: I didn't know everything. So I did the first interview 972 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,359 Speaker 2: with him and he and that interview was about two 973 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 2: and a half hours long, I think, and I put 974 00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,080 Speaker 2: everything to him. Look, I've seen statements. You told the 975 00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 2: police this. Did you know Emma? Had you been to 976 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 2: the woods? No, you'd never been to the woods. Okay, 977 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,879 Speaker 2: well you know you told the police that you had. 978 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 2: Oh well, they bullied you. Okay, fine, And the story 979 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 2: that he came out with I was being bullied by 980 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 2: the police. Yes, but mister Packer, you know you actually 981 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,439 Speaker 2: took the police down to the woods where you took 982 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,560 Speaker 2: all the women, including Emma, and it was the deposition side. Oh, well, 983 00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,919 Speaker 2: that was just you know, the police took me there. 984 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 2: I never took them. It's coincidence. And this back and 985 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 2: forth for two and a half hours, and he went 986 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:26,280 Speaker 2: from being a victim, you know, crying, to being angry, 987 00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 2: to being you know, empathetic to Emma, and to being 988 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,879 Speaker 2: frustrated with how it's affected is life. I mean, every 989 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 2: emotion in that interview from him, But it wasn't him. 990 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 2: He didn't do it. It was not me. I was not 991 00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,680 Speaker 2: their end of And at the end of that interview, 992 00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 2: I said, look, I'm going to go away and investigate 993 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 2: all of this, everything that you've told me, and I'm 994 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,880 Speaker 2: going to get you back for a second interview if 995 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 2: that's okay, and I'll put everything i've found to you. 996 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 2: And he says, no problem.

And he says, fair news, no problem. 999 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 2: And that was it. And that's when I started to 1000 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 2: really look into it. And that was when I started 1001 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 2: to realize the extent of who he was and what 1002 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:11,320 Speaker 2: he had done. 1003 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: Okay, it's quite frightening all the information that was available 1004 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: there that yeah, all of it, I say it, but yeah, 1005 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: the proper white wasn't wasn't placed on it. You did 1006 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: the second interview. The second interview was played on the documentary. 1007 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,479 Speaker 1: I believe in after that that generated other people coming 1008 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: forward that resulted in. 1009 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 2: Ye, sorry, Well, so what we did was we then 1010 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 2: at this point we were we were making a documentary 1011 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 2: this so this interview with Ian Packer was for a 1012 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,399 Speaker 2: documentary and in the documentary. So we got him back 1013 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,400 Speaker 2: for the second interview. And obviously you've got to remember, 1014 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 2: you got to imagine he knew nothing about what was 1015 00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 2: coming his way for that second interview at all. He 1016 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 2: had been away on holiday.

I started to realize there was a bit 1019 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,040 Speaker 2: of a fascination that he had with me, and from 1020 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 2: the text from from from that kind of level of contact, 1021 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 2: and all while uncomfortable, thinking right, okay, and as soon 1022 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 2: as he gets back, I've got to do this confrontation, 1023 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 2: get him back for the second interview. And I meet 1024 00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 2: him outside the building and and I says, are you okay? 1025 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 2: And he says, yeah, I'm so excited.

You've not been telling me the truth. 1031 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 2: I think you're a violent man. I think you're a 1032 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,920 Speaker 2: sexually violent man. And I think you're a rapist. And 1033 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 2: I think you killed Emma. And in that moment you 1034 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 2: see his face, the oxygen just leaves. 1035 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: The room, the drop the pretense. 1036 00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: It's it's horrific. I mean, it was horrific. I remember 1037 00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 2: the used of saying to me beforehand, right, you know, 1038 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 2: we'll need to make sure that you know he's he's 1039 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,760 Speaker 2: Let's not use radio mic. Let's use a line mic 1040 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 2: so that if he tries to run away like he's tight, 1041 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 2: he's tied to the equipment, all this stuff. And I said, 1042 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,160 Speaker 2: I'm telling you now, this man is not leaving. He 1043 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,600 Speaker 2: will not leave. He will stay. I know him. He 1044 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 2: will stay to the bitter end. And Gary, he would 1045 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 2: not leave. He got up at the end, he got up, 1046 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 2: he went to talk away, comes in, he sits back down, 1047 00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 2: gets up, walks away, comes in six backs, oh, Sam, 1048 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 2: I can't believe you've done this to me, and I 1049 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 2: can't you know that's right? And at one point, after 1050 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 2: I've accused him of everything, he kind of sits down 1051 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 2: and he leans forward and he says, does this meme? 1052 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:45,400 Speaker 2: Will no longer be in touch? 1053 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: I get a sense of what you're going through there. 1054 00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 2: I said, well, no, we will no longer be in touch. 1055 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:55,480 Speaker 2: I will be in touch to let you know when 1056 00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 2: the program's going out buzz than that now and anyway, 1057 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,520 Speaker 2: eventually we had to get a security guy to escort 1058 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 2: him out the building because he just wouldn't leave. And 1059 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 2: so that was the documentary. So that was the first 1060 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 2: documentary called Who Killed Emma that was broadcast, and that 1061 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,480 Speaker 2: was broadcast on the Wednesday, on the Wednesday night, and 1062 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 2: on the Friday, he was arrested and the film had 1063 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 2: to come down. But he was not arrested for murder 1064 00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,560 Speaker 2: or any of the offenses which we had exposed him for. 1065 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 2: He was arrested because he had attacked his girlfriend, the 1066 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 2: one that I had been meeting with him, and unbeknown 1067 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 2: to me, throughout the entire time I was meeting them, 1068 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 2: he was being violent behind closed doors with her and 1069 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 2: then had a fall out about the first interview that 1070 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 2: had done with me and he had throttled her and 1071 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 2: he was arrested in charge. So the film came down. 1072 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 2: It was only up for forty eight hours, and then 1073 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 2: we had the podcast which we worked on and so, 1074 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 2: you know, long story short, once that case went through court, 1075 00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 2: we were allowed to put the documentary in the podcast 1076 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 2: back up the first eight episodes, and that was when 1077 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 2: it just took off because women were listening to this 1078 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 2: and going, hold on, that's the man that attacked me. 1079 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 2: That's a man who raped me. And I started to 1080 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,520 Speaker 2: get calls and texts and emails from women saying he 1081 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 2: did that to me. I know that man he raped me, 1082 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 2: and I'm having to send them to the police. 1083 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 1: It was taken down because he was charged with the 1084 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 1: assault of his partner, which I think he was inside 1085 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: for two years. After that court meta finalize, that's when 1086 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: the documentary in the podcast could air again. Is that yeah? 1087 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 2: So it could air again, Yeah, because the case he 1088 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 2: was sentenced to two years. He served one year and 1089 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,919 Speaker 2: as soon as he was released then we were able 1090 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 2: to put them back up because the case was no 1091 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 2: longer active, and we put them back up, and we 1092 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 2: just sat thinking, oh, well that's okay, because they're going 1093 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 2: to arrest him now for the merger and for all 1094 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 2: these rapes and sexual assaults. I mean, he'd been abducting 1095 01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 2: women and nothing happened. 1096 01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,160 Speaker 1: That you were in undicted with more information coming in 1097 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,400 Speaker 1: that you were referring to the place, the information from 1098 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: other women that are so m of. 1099 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,720 Speaker 2: The Yeah, so you're in this situation Gary, where as 1100 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 2: a journalist, you just want to go, Okay, tell me 1101 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 2: the story. What happened. You know, how did this happen, 1102 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 2: When did this happen? What did he do? But you know, 1103 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:24,160 Speaker 2: you have a duty of care to these women. You 1104 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,040 Speaker 2: have a duty of care to Emma's family who are 1105 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 2: seeking justice. You have a duty of care to the 1106 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:34,320 Speaker 2: police investigation. And so the right thing to do was 1107 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,680 Speaker 2: to say, I would love your story, but it's more 1108 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,440 Speaker 2: important you go to the police and I will put 1109 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 2: you in touch with the officers involved. And some of 1110 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,560 Speaker 2: the women I never found out whether they did or 1111 01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 2: not until I saw the charge sheet. I was like, God, 1112 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 2: you went, you did it, well done. You know I 1113 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 2: would not find out other women I drove them to 1114 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,479 Speaker 2: the police station. One woman I took to the police station. 1115 01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,560 Speaker 2: She wouldn't give her a statement unless I sat in 1116 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 2: the room with her. You know, it was just difficult. 1117 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:09,080 Speaker 1: I can imagine how difficult you are really you're embedded 1118 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 1: in the whole investigation. Look, it's not giving away. We 1119 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: know the end result of it. He was convicted the trial. 1120 01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I will talk about that in the second part, but 1121 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 1: I'd like to finish the podcast here and say, look, 1122 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 1: he got convicted and we all lived happily ever after. 1123 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:32,280 Speaker 1: But what has blown me away, disappointed me was the 1124 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 1: information that the investigators, the people leading the investigation, had 1125 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 1: on the Packer during the course of the investigation, when 1126 01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: the whole Turkish line of inquiry was being followed up, 1127 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: and then the fiasco at caught with that, and the 1128 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: impact that has had on so many people, and the 1129 01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: way the information came to you. And I was listening 1130 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:58,880 Speaker 1: and it was sort of the last four parts of 1131 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,800 Speaker 1: the podcast, so I'm thinking, Okay, well, I've seen this 1132 01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,520 Speaker 1: an interesting investigation, but from a homicide detectives point of view, 1133 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: I was just so disappointed with some of the things 1134 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: that were missed in that investigation. And I think we 1135 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:18,440 Speaker 1: talked before We're miked up that there might be a 1136 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,439 Speaker 1: public inquiry. There's been calls for a public inquiry. These 1137 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 1: type of things just shouldn't happen. 1138 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,400 Speaker 2: No, I mean there will be a public inquiry. I'm sure. Well, 1139 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,479 Speaker 2: they've said there will be a public inquiry. I think 1140 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: if the story finished there, it's bad enough. But what 1141 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 2: we then went on to discover, it's just worse than 1142 01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:38,440 Speaker 2: you could possibly imagine. 1143 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 1: And the people's lives and the further victims, all sorts 1144 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: of things. But we'll talk about that when we get 1145 01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,200 Speaker 1: back to part two. So we'll just have a short 1146 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:51,040 Speaker 1: break
