On the night of 27 January 1997, a driver made his way along the North Circular Road in north London. In the darkness ahead of him, something was wrong. There was a man on the grass verge at the side of the road. He was on fire. The driver could not have known that what he was looking at would set in motion years of grief, of obstruction, of a family's refusal to be silenced - a fight for justice that would expose one of the most shameful failures in the history of the Metropolitan Police.Become a

On the morning of the 2nd of April, 1993, the Jamestown Justice Court was in session. The man in the dock was charged with seven counts of lewd conduct with children. In the hallway outside, the mother of one of his victims sat waiting. Before the morning was over, what happened inside that courthouse would make headlines across the world, and ignite a debate about justice, vengeance, and how far a parent can go before the law stops seeing them as a victim.Become a supporter of this podcast:

It was the 18th of February, 2014, and on West Lombard Street in Springfield, Missouri, a man was raking leaves in his front yard. Then a little girl came around the corner. She had her phone in hand, stopping now and then to snap a selfie. That was when the truck appeared - a gold pickup, moving slowly down the street, back and forth, past the same houses, past the same yards, in no hurry, going nowhere, just watching and waiting. And then it stopped.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is

On the night of the 24th of August 1996, a 14-year-old girl left a housing estate in a small Scottish town and walked alone toward a river in the dark. The investigation into what happened to her would remain unsolved for 27 years, sustained by one mother's refusal to stop asking, and finally cracked by the memory of a four-year-old boy.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement.

On the morning of January 17th, 1984, a 17-year-old boy picked up the phone and called 911. He said his parents were dead. The investigation that followed would divide a close-knit community, force a prosecutor to question his own instincts, and cause the detectives working the case to go home at night and look at their own children differently.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/morbidology--3527306/support.

On the night of the 4th of December 1998, two teenage boys were having a sleepover in a trailer in rural Hopewell, Missouri. They played games, they stayed up late, and eventually they fell asleep. In the early hours of the following morning, they woke up to the smell of smoke. It was coming from the room at the end of the hallway. Neither of them would ever forget what they found on the other side of that door.Become a supporter of this podcast:

On 26 September, 2016, a young mother rushed from a Harlem apartment building carrying her six-year-old son in her arms. The boy was limp, unresponsive. His small body was covered in bruises, welts, and broken bones - evidence of months of brutal abuse. The investigation into what happened would reveal something equally disturbing: a child welfare system that had failed him at every turn, despite five separate reports of abuse.SPONSORS - Nutrafol: Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair
