She was 94 years old, a strong, determined grandmother battling dementia. Yet despite her diagnosis, Mary Gregory’s independent spirit meant she continued living alone in her modest bungalow in Lancashire, England. When a house fire tragically claimed her life in May 2018, it was written off as nothing more than a heartbreaking accident—a sad end to a long and well-loved life.

But just one year later, a comment made during a counselling session would open the door to something far darker. Something no one in her family could have imagined.

In this episode, I explore the death of Mary Gregory, the investigation that followed, and the disturbing confession that turned a tragic fire into a calculated act of betrayal. What drives someone to take the life of a woman who only ever showed them kindness?
