Always True Crime

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, has since its establishment in 1978 assisted Lebanese forces along the country's border with Israel to maintain peace, security, and ensure humanitarian access. In it's near five decades in existence, countless soldiers from nations across the world have lost their lives as part of these peacekeeping forces, and it is the Irish Army that holds the distinction, to date, of having the highest toll of casualties, with almost 50 service personnel having lost their lives as a result of enemy fire, unexploded ordnance and transport related incidents.

Though every soldier knows and accepts these are very real risks, one October evening back in 1982, three of these Irish soldiers, deployed on peacekeeping duties, lost their lives as a result of something that no soldier ever, or should ever, expect.

They lost their lives at the hands of one of their own.

In the late 1970's, LSD was big in Cambridge University's radical academic fringe, inspired by LSD pioneer Timothy Leary. He had a strong belief that the drug broadened the mind and could transform society and make it better for all of us. Henry Todd got very much into this scene and then started his own LSD lab, producing huge quantities of the stuff.

In the episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the undercover police operation 'Operation Julie' soon had Henry Todd and others making and selling LSD under surveillance, and how Todd later made the unusual move into high altitude mountaineering.

I release episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next episode on Tuesday.

An eight-year-old girl disappeared while playing near her grandparents’ home on a summer’s day in West Sussex, and within hours, a nationwide search was underway. In July 2000, Sarah Payne vanished in what should have been a safe, familiar setting, sending shockwaves across the UK. As police raced against time, one of the largest missing person investigations in British history began to unfold.

In this episode, we break down the timeline of Sarah’s disappearance, the massive search effort that followed, and the investigation that gripped the nation. How could a child vanish so quickly in broad daylight? And how did this case go on to change UK law and public awareness around child safety? This is a deeply emotional case that left a lasting impact on the country, and it's one that is still remembered decades later.
