The Late Night Visitor: Episode 387

When the knock at the door came shortly after midnight, Carol & Keith Slater initially tried to ignore the noise, assuming it was just kids messing around or maybe someone at the wrong address. But as the knocking continued, Carol told Keith he should pop down and see who was at the door in case it was related to their two young children who were staying with Grandparents that night. It might be the police, maybe there had been an accident.Minutes later, Keith was dead - at just 33 years old - and so many lives changed forever.  Find out more about the UK True Crime Podcast:https://uktruecrime.comBuy tickets for my live show on 2 June in South Shieldshttps://www.customshouse.co.uk/theatre/murder-aint-easy/Join me at Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/UKTrueCrimeJoin me in Sheffield on 7 Septemberhttps://armchairdetectiveswanted.com/eventsJoin the UK True Crime Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrimeBuy my book 'Gone Fishing' about serial killer Angus Sinclair:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gone-Fishing-Unsolved-Crimes-Sinclair/dp/1914277201Sourceshttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/05/experience-i-was-a-murder-suspect-for-18-yearshttps://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/crime/suspect-in-murder-case-freed-on-bail-1939045https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/man-denies-any-involvement-1988-1411801https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPHtp9Zn5bYhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/humber/6336343.stmhttps://www.facebook.com/100063572408552/posts/2001351636774993/https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/murderer-martin-brown-admits-not-105951 Hosted on Acast.

Lauren Jeska was a fell runner.As a transgender athlete, she had been asked to provide evidence of hormone levels after historical complaints to UK Athletics that she had an unfair advantage competing in women’s events because she had been born a man.
