S13 Ep1: The Freddy Krueger Killer
Season 13 · Episode 1
lundi 1 septembre 2025 • Duration 35:16
Daniel Gonzalez wanted fame — but not on stage or screen. Obsessed with horror films like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, Gonzalez spiralled into drug abuse, mental illness, and violent fantasies that turned him into one of Britain’s most notorious killers. In this episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell explore the troubled childhood, psychiatric struggles, and chilling crimes of the so-called 'Freddy Krueger Killer'.
We examine how failures in the mental health system allowed his descent into violence — and what his case reveals about obsession, untreated psychosis, and the making of a murderer.

S12 Ep4: Pottery Cottage Part 2
Season 12 · Episode 4
lundi 6 février 2023 • Duration 30:52
Geoffrey Wansell recounts the horrifying events of January 1977 at Pottery Cottage, Derbyshire, where escaped convict Billy Hughes held a family hostage during a brutal blizzard. Over several tense days, Hughes terrorised Gillian Moran, her husband Richard, their daughter Sarah, and her elderly mother Amy, forcing them into a nightmare of fear, manipulation, and violence.
In a chilling charade, Hughes alternates between cruel control and deceptive kindness, making tea and pretending to care — all while his deadly intentions escalate. The ordeal culminates in a deadly standoff with police, leaving only Gillian alive and forever scarred.
A dark, extraordinary tale of survival, psychopathology, and one of the most shocking murder sprees in British criminal history.
