  • Bristol's Oldest Cold Case: The Murder Of Robert Parrington Jackson (Part 1)

    Bristol's Oldest Cold Case: The Murder Of Robert Parrington Jackson (Part 1)
    Jul 3 2025
    Welcome to Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories — the podcast that peers into the darkest corners of the human psyche, dusts off cold cases, and gives them a hard stare.

    This week, we’re delving into Bristol’s oldest unsolved murder — the mysterious shooting of cinema manager Robert Parrington Jackson in 1946. A real-life whodunnit with a cinematic twist: the killer timed the shot to coincide with gunfire in the film playing next door. All very Hitchcock meets hardboiled noir — minus the tidy ending.

    This is Part One of a two-part investigation. Part Two drops next Friday… unless, of course, you’re a Psycho Killer Patreon member — in which case it’s already waiting for you, ad-free and smugly ahead of the crowd. And speaking of what lurks behind the curtain — this episode was originally created as a Patreon exclusive: a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse inside the Psycho Killer engine room — or, if you prefer, the minds of your hosts. Enter if you dare.

    👤 Simon Ford is a veteran documentary-maker who’s spent decades interviewing the disturbed and the dangerous — though some would say his riskiest move was inviting former detective Jacques Morrell onto the show in the first place.

    🕵️‍♂️ Jacques Morrell (yes, spelled the French way, but don’t hold that against him) is a retired copper with a dry wit, a long memory, and a very particular set of skills — many of which come in handy when rummaging through Britain’s unsolved cases, or just winding up Simon.

    Together, they bring experience, intelligence and just enough gallows humour to keep the darkness at bay. If you're enjoying the show, join us on Patreon. You’ll get early access to all our episodes, exclusive bonus content, and ad-free listening — because let’s face it, nothing kills the mood in a murder story like a mattress commercial. Subscribe, review, and remember — when the killer’s unknown, the mind fills in the blanks.

  • The Double Life Of Jimmy Savile (Part 2)

    The Double Life Of Jimmy Savile (Part 2)
    Jun 29 2025
    Explicit

    In the second part of our investigation into Jimmy Savile, we go deeper into one of the most disturbing cover-ups in British criminal history. How did a man accused of hundreds of sexual assaults operate with impunity for decades—inside hospitals, children’s homes, and even the BBC itself? Who protected him? And why did it take so long for victims’ voices to be heard?

    With exclusive insight from veteran detective Jacques Morrell and gold-standard journalism from Simon Ford, this episode dissects the systemic failures, psychological profile, and chilling manipulation that made Savile Britain’s most prolific sexual predator. We score him against the Hare Psychopathy Checklist to ask the critical question: Was Jimmy Savile a psychopath? If you thought Part One was shocking, Part Two is essential listening.
