As the world opens up and international travel returns as an option, Peter Bleksley heightens his search for Kevin Parle.
Peter finds out how lockdown might affect Parle and takes audience questions on the progress of his investigation:

Peter assesses the psychological impact on a fugitive who may be in lockdown and two ex-girlfriends paint a disturbing picture of Parle as a manipulator.

Peter gathers some of his advisors together to look at how his investigation is progressing and to decide the next lines of enquiry.

Peter heads to a campsite that Parle is thought to have stayed at in 2006, but also investigates information the fugitive may have been in that part of Spain a lot more recently.
Peter ends his search in Old Swan, talks to fugitives about how they survived on the run and decides his next step is abroad.
Peter explores Liverpool's reputation as a city that stands against injustice, while investigating reports that Parle could still be on Merseyside.

The ex cop is a legend in this own mind.
what has happened to this podcast? Will there be any more episodes?
quite biased so far. also being bitchy about the French crew not wanting to share their work was not a good look. It came across to me at least as quite entitled.
Regardless if he’s guilty or innocent.. he has a point
regardless of his guilt or innocence he is absolutely correct about the distortions in point of veiw of the podcast.
Interesting how throughout this episode Michael talks about himself the whole time. Not one mention of his wife the victim. Not one mention of trying to find the real killer. Episode 13 tells it all.
really biased interview you're coming at him like you think he's guilty. all the answers are in the Netflix series. totally corrupt evidence used against him. this podcast is very biased.the blood splatter expert set him up !!! get your facts right.
The more he talks the more guilty he sounds. Excellent. I think he is an unhinged walking ego who has no idea how he sounds to the ears of an outsider.
Hahahaha! Owl........ hahahahaha!
BBC jumping on the bandwagon of American public radio real crime series, but I’m sorry to say that the quality of the storytelling, nuance and refinement are nowhere near the level of that which we import from across the pond. The first person we hear from to describe the couple - rather than someone qualified to comment by virtue of having known them - is a lady who wrote a book that concludes Michael is the murderer. She provides no balance or examples to back up the opinions she has developed; describing him as a controlling narcissist without any actual references to his behaviour. The structure jumps around and the narrative tells you what to think, rather than simply laying out evidence in an elegant manner, from episode 1. I know nothing about the case and have no vested interest in the conclusion of this series but it’s a sensational character assassination from episode 1 and therefore boring.
What I downloaded is not what's playing. This isn't episode 8 but "The Daily" speaking about unions.
What a deeply disturbed monsrer of a man this guy is. I watched the documentary on Netflix and luckily found this podcast its such a tragedy I feel for her family left behind thank you for sharing this podcast
