Ep 385 Profiling a Predator: He Drugged and Raped His Partner for Years with Amanda Stanhope Part 1
2 november 2026 · 58 min
Amanda Stanhope had no idea her partner had been drugging and raping her. She woke with unexplained bruises, missing clothing and disturbing signs that something was wrong. There was video evidence but police examined it and made some shocking claims. Lees meer
Laura asks Amanda to describe how and when she met her ex fiancé, David Rogerson, and the start of the relationship. Amanda shares how this charming, seemingly devoted partner swept her off her feet before revealing a terrifying side. Laura unravels the warning signs dressed up as romance, the calculated manipulation and coercive control, and how a predator can exploit kindness and compassion to entrap a victim.
In this episode, Laura and Amanda examine:
The early warning signs disguised as romance, including love bombing, intense attention and a whirlwind relationship;
The frightening moment his mask slipped, exposing extreme jealousy, intimidation and controlling behaviour;
How perpetrators exploit empathy, manipulate boundaries and use DARVO to portray themselves as victims;
The devastating psychological and physical impact of coercive control, isolation and abuse;
How seemingly caring behaviour can conceal surveillance, domination and escalating control;
Amanda's courage in waiving anonymity, inspired by Gisèle Pelicot, and her determination to shift the shame onto perpetrators.
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, psychological abuse, sexual violence, drug-facilitated rape and victim-blaming.
Be curious, ask questions and always trust your instincts.

Ep 384 Remastered: The Forgotten Victims: The A1 Linked Attacks, Continued Part 5
29 oktober 2026 · 55 min
In this remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story. For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them. Lees meer
Laura continues to analyse the A1 linked offences, the brutal attacks on Yvonne Pearson, Helen Rytka, Anna Rogulskyj and Vera Millward by Peter Sutcliffe. Laura analyses Joan Harrison’s rape and murder, the letters received by Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield as well discussing a major breakthrough in the investigation. You won’t want to miss this. See Crime Analyst’s Instagram, Facebook or the Crime Analyst Squad for graphics detailing what she found.
Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created due to the catastrophic failures in the case. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the moniker that made him famous while the women became the forgotten victims.
Join Laura in the intelligence cell as she re-examines the case through an expert behavioural analysis lens, centering the victims whilst focusing on risk and prevention.

Ep 382 Remastered: The Forgotten Victims: The A1 Linked Attacks, Part 4
22 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 21 min
In this remastered Crime Analyst series, Laura Richards puts the women back at the centre of the story. For decades, the women murdered and attacked by Peter Sutcliffe (known as PS in this series) were overshadowed by the man who targeted them. Lees meer
Laura shares other attacks on women she believes are linked to PS including Marilyn Moore who survived and gave a photofit in 1977, 14-year-old Tracy Browne who saw the photofit and re-reported the man who almost killed her and Olive Smelt’s near lethal attack 12 days before Tracy was attacked. When Laura pulled all the photofits and mapped the attacks – she blew the lid off the case. See Crime Analyst’s Instagram, Facebook or the Crime Analyst Squad for graphics detailing what she found.
Laura’s specialist unit at New Scotland Yard was later created due to the catastrophic failures in the case. It remains one of the most misunderstood serial murder cases of our time - and why Crime Analyst refuses to use the moniker that made him famous while the women became the forgotten victims.

The questions raised by Miller’s own words and behaviour
