The disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh remains one of Britain's most enduring mysteries. On 28 July 1986, the twenty-five-year-old estate agent left her Fulham office to show a house to a client she had written in her diary only as "Mr Kipper", and she was never seen again. Her car was found abandoned that night, her body has never been found, and although police would later name the convicted killer John Cannan as their prime suspect, he was never charged over her disappearance and always denied any involvement. Nearly forty years on, the questions still stand: who was Mr Kipper, and what happened to Suzy? This is the story of a young woman who vanished in broad daylight, and the mystery that has never let go.

The World's End murders haunted Scotland for nearly four decades. In October 1977, two seventeen-year-old friends, Christine Eadie and Helen Scott, left the World's End pub in Edinburgh's Old Town and were found murdered in the East Lothian countryside the next day. The case stayed cold for a generation, until DNA finally pointed to a man named Angus Sinclair, and a collapsed trial forced Scotland to tear up its centuries-old double jeopardy law so that he could at last be tried again, and convicted, in 2014. This is the story of two young women, the thirty-seven-year fight for justice, and the case that changed the law of a nation.

For more than a decade, the Golden State Killer terrorised California, committing at least thirteen murders and more than fifty rapes before vanishing without a trace. For forty years he had no name and no face, just a DNA profile that matched no one on earth. Then, in 2018, investigators uploaded that profile to a public genealogy website, traced his distant relatives through an enormous family tree, and finally unmasked him as Joseph DeAngelo, a former police officer who had been hiding in plain sight the whole time. This is the story of the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the forensic breakthrough that changed cold case investigation forever.

On the seventeenth of December 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt walked into the surf at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria, and was never seen again. Despite one of the largest search operations in the nation's history, no body and no trace were ever found. Was it an accidental drowning, as a coroner would eventually rule, or something stranger: a suicide, a shark, or the extraordinary claim that Holt was a secret agent who faked his own death and slipped away aboard a waiting submarine? This is the enduring mystery of the most powerful man in the country, who went for a swim one summer Sunday and simply vanished. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of the disappearance of Harold Holt. SIGNAL AWARDS 2026 VOTE HERE

The murder of Tupac Shakur is one of the most famous unsolved crimes in the history of popular culture, and after thirty years, it finally has a verdict. In September 1996, the twenty-five-year-old rapper was shot in a drive-by at a red light just off the Las Vegas Strip, and died six days later. For decades, everyone seemed to know roughly what had happened, a feud, a beating in a hotel lobby, a revenge killing, yet no one was ever charged. The case drifted into legend and conspiracy theory. Then, in a twist no one could have scripted, the man who orchestrated it was brought down largely by his own words, after years of boasting publicly about his role. In 2026, a Las Vegas jury finally returned a verdict. In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we tell the full story: the fight that lit the fuse, the shooting, the alleged gunman who died before he could be charged, the three-decade silence, and the conviction that came at last. Settle in, get comfortable, and let us tell you the story of thirty years to justice. SIGNAL AWARDS 2026 VOTE HERE
