On Tuesday the 18th of February 2014, 20 year old hairdresser Hollie Gazzard went to work at a salon in the centre of Gloucester with one instruction for her colleagues: if her ex-boyfriend, Asher Maslin, turned up, call the police straight away.
3 days earlier, Hollie had rung 999 herself, telling officers he had threatened to beat her and throw acid in her face. Since then, police had tried to arrest him twice, but failed. Hollie was a talented, much-loved stylist with big plans, including opening her own salon one day. Behind the scenes, though, she had spent a year being controlled, threatened and attacked by a man whose history of violence was only partly known to the people who could have stopped him.
In this episode, we trace the relationship, the warnings that were already on record, and the call that should have changed everything. Because shortly before 6pm that evening, the salon door opened. And what happened next would trigger a police inquiry, a homicide review, and a question that still divides Hollie’s family and the authorities: could her death have been prevented?

It's morning at the bus stand in Hassan, in south India. A 22 year old woman is standing at a bus stop… next to the man she thinks she's about to marry.
He hands her a small pill. He tells her it's a contraceptive... she should go into the ladies' toilet and take it there, with a bit of water from the tap.
So she does. And while she's in there, he walks away.
He goes back to the lodge where they spent the night, picks up the jewellery she left in the room, and gets on a bus home.
The pill was cyanide.

Sammy "The Bull" Gravano Case: Betraying the Gambino Crime Family
Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 29:29
The Man Who Killed 19 People… and Got Away With It.
This is a re-mastered release of an episode from back in 2025.
Sammy "the Bull" Gravano was the right-hand man to John Gotti, the so-called Teflon Don, and a made man who admitted to taking part in 19 murders.
Then, in 1991, he did the unthinkable: he turned informant. His testimony brought down Gotti and the leadership of the Gambino crime family, shattering the code of omertà that had protected the Mafia for generations.
In return, Sammy Gravano walked away with just 5 years behind bars and a new life in witness protection. But a man who breaks the ultimate rule doesn't stay hidden forever. Years later, he resurfaced, and the past he thought he'd left behind came roaring back. What happened when Sammy the Bull ran out of places to hide? And did he ever really change?

The tragic case of Alana Odysseos
Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 29:51
It's just before midnight in Walthamstow, East London, and a group of neighbours are standing at a front door.
They've heard arguing. They've seen it spill out onto the communal green. So they ring the doorbell, and they ask again and again, “Are you okay? Do you need help?”
The woman thanks them. Tells them she's fine, and so the group then go home.
At 3am however, it starts again. This time, a neighbour presses record on their phone and dials 999. And inside the flat, the woman at the centre of it is holding up a phone of her own. Alana Odysseos is filming too. But within the hour, that recordinge would be gone. The phone thrown down a drain, by the man who walked out of that flat and into a café, covered in blood.

The Food Network Star Who Was Murdered By Her Neighbour | Cristie and JT Codd Case
Thursday, September 24, 2026 • Duration 38:14
In 2015, Food Network Star contestant Cristie Schoen Codd and her husband JT Codd vanished from their North Carolina farmhouse - and the truth behind their disappearance turned out to be so unhinged and incomprehensible, it was difficult for the families and wider community to wrap their heads around.
This episode covers the full story: Cristie's journey from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to Hollywood movie sets and reality TV, her romance and marriage to husband JT, and the chilling investigation that followed their disappearance in March 2015. We break down how a "friendly neighbor," contractor Robert Jason Owens, became the prime suspect, the shocking discovery in his wood stove, and his eerie connection to another unsolved cold case... the 2000 disappearance of Zebb Quinn. This is a true crime analysis of the murder, deception, and a small-town mystery that shook the film and TV industry.

The tragic cases of Leanne Mckie, Nicholas Billingham, Gretchen Anthony and Megan Newborough
Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 01:50:21
Today we’re taking a look back at some of the most tragic cases of people who have been killed by someone they trusted.
Our first case takes us to Northamptonshire where for months, primary school teacher Fiona Beal told everyone her partner of 17 years had run off with another woman … but that lie would come unraveled in a way that no one expected.
Then we’re going to Wilmslow, Cheshire where Detective Constable Leanne McKie spent her career protecting victims - until the morning she confronted her own husband, a fellow police officer, over a forged loan, and never left their house alive.
Then we’re heading overseas to the US, and jumping back to march 2020 where, as the world locked down, one man convinced himself the end times had arrived, and when his estranged wife 3.
Gretchen Anthony refused to run away with him, he made sure she'd never get the chance to change her mind.And finally. We’re going to end today back in the UK, in Nuneaton, with the horrific murder of Megan Newborough. She drove to her work colleague’s house for a date after weeks of flirty messages - an hour later, that colleague she trusted made one horrific decision after the next.

The tragic case of Raquel, Samantha, Denton and Dolet (The Bermondsey Murders)
Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 26:48
A Sunday bbq. A loving family settling in for the night. By morning, 4 people are dead... 3 generations of one household wiped out in a matter of hours.
This week on REDRUM, we dig into the Bermondsey Murders: the case of Joshua Jacques, a man who told police he was making a "sacrifice," and the family who never saw it coming. We trace the final hours through phone records, a frantic call from a neighbour, and the chilling texts that read "he's calm now", sent just hours before everything fell apart.
Was this a mental breakdown, or something far more calculated?

The Lindsay Clancy Case: The Evidence, Timeline & Trial
Monday, September 7, 2026 • Duration 02:46:49
It's the 24th of January, 2023. It's just snowed in Duxbury, Massachusetts, a seaside suburb on the around 35 miles outside of Boston. A mother builds a snowman with her two oldest kids in the back garden. She takes pictures. She sends them to her husband. She sends them to her mother. In every single one of those photos, there’s nothing. No warning… no sign… Just a normal Tuesday, in a nice house, with an ordinary family.
3 lives have been lost. Taken by the woman who was supposed to love them the most. Today we are talking about the Lindsay Clancy case. The devastating loss of Cora, Dawson and Callan.

The murder of Riley Crossman
Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 34:39
On the 8th of May 2019, 15 year old Riley Crossman was reported missing from her home in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. What followed was a desperate community-wide search involving hundreds of volunteers, law enforcement and the FBI, as Riley’s family waited for any sign that she might still be alive. But as investigators began reconstructing Riley’s final hours, disturbing details started to emerge... including a green truck seen outside her home, contradictory accounts of where Riley’s mother’s boyfriend Andy McCauley had been, and a final message Riley sent to her boyfriend just hours before she disappeared: “Andy’s in my room. I’m scared.” As the investigation continued, surveillance footage, phone records and forensic evidence would begin to tell a very different story. But before investigators knew what had happened to Riley, they first had to find her... and somewhere in the search was a clue that would ultimately change everything.
