  The Securitas Depot Robbery: The £53 Million Tiger Kidnap

  Sep 30, 202628 minS1

  The Securitas depot robbery of 2006 was the largest cash robbery in British history, and it was built on terror. A gang led by a professional cage fighter stole almost £53 million from a cash depot in Tonbridge, Kent, so much money they left another £150 million behind because it wouldn't fit in the lorry. To pull it off, they kidnapped the depot manager, and abducted his wife and nine-year-old son at gunpoint, forcing him to choose between the money he was paid to protect and the lives of his family. But for all their meticulous planning, the gang's getaway was a shambles that left a trail of DNA and cash-stuffed vans. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the tiger kidnapping, the inside man, the record-breaking raid, the bungled escape, the manhunt, and the £32 million that has never been found. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the tiger kidnap. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

  The Disappearance of Brandon Lawson: The 911 Call in the Dark

  Sep 29, 202627 minS2

  The disappearance of Brandon Lawson is one of the most haunting missing-persons cases of the modern age, and it is captured, in part, on a chilling 911 call. In August 2013, the 26-year-old father ran out of petrol on a dark rural road in Texas. He phoned his brother for help, then called 911, breathless and terrified, saying men were chasing him and that he'd run out into a field. He begged the operator to hurry. Then the line went dead. When his brother reached the abandoned truck minutes later, Brandon was gone. He was so afraid of whatever was out there that he called the police despite having a warrant out for his arrest. In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the frantic phone calls, the search that found nothing, the remains discovered nine years later in already-searched ground, and the question no one can answer, what was he running from? Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the voice in the field. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

  The Murder of Julie Ward: A Father's Fight for Justice in Kenya

  Sep 27, 202631 minS1

  The murder of Julie Ward in Kenya's Maasai Mara in 1988 became one of the most notorious cover-ups in modern criminal history. Julie was a 28-year-old British wildlife photographer, a week from flying home, when she vanished on safari. Her father flew out to find her, and discovered her remains himself, cut and burned, evidence of murder that Kenyan authorities tried to pass off as an animal attack to protect the tourism industry. What followed was one father's decades-long, multi-million-pound battle against two governments to force the world to admit his daughter had been killed. Three men were tried; none was ever convicted. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the safari, the flawed investigation, the altered autopsy, the trials that collapsed, the alleged political conspiracy, and the extraordinary devotion of a father who refused to let his daughter's murder be denied. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of a father in the Mara. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
