More importantly though, in order to get justice, she is called upon to testify against her tormentor.

Rachael Slack warned the authorities about her son's father, Andrew Cairns. He had threatened to kill her and they knew that. Like Tania Moore five years previously, Derbyshire Police failed to act on these warnings. As a result, an entirely avoidable tragedy occurred. A tragedy that left a community shocked and a family scared by grief.

Peak True Crime - Interview - Fred The Head
play

03/17/23 • 70 min

This episode is somewhat of a departure For Peak True Crime.


I interview Ken Davies, the creator of the incredible real-time investigative podcast The Mysterious Case of Fred The Head.


The body of an unknown man was discovered in Burton, Staffordshire in 1971.


Ken explains the case -spoiler free - and the fact that along with his merry band of helpers the podcast is undertaking a real-time investigation which goes much further than the police ever did.


Ken also talks about his other podcast which looks into an unidentified man who's body found at sea off the shores of the German island of Heligoland in 1994

Peak True Crime - Case Note

The Baker of Repton


A discovery in a graveyard while on a location recording sent me down a rabbit-hole.

Peak True Crime - The Pigeon Champion of Pinxton - Part One
play

The Pigeon Champion of Pinxton

In late April 2023, the remains of a man were discovered buried on farmland near Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire. After weeks of painstaking work at the site, and with the help of the public, the remains were identified as that of 52 year old Alfred Swinscoe, a Derbyshire miner who had been missing for over half a century.

In this first of what will be an occasional series, we look into what’s known about Alfred, his life and the challenges an investigation like this represents to detectives.

Although they haven’t contributed directly to this episode, I would like to thank Alfred’s family for taking the time to listen to the episode in advance of publication and corroborating the biographical information I’ve been able to unearth.

If you are able to help Nottinghamshire Police in any way to find the answers the family are so desperately looking for, please call the enquiry team on 0800 096 0095.
