Bristol's Oldest Cold Case: The Murder Of Robert Parrington Jackson (Part 2)

from Psycho Killer: Shocking True Crime Stories · host Simon Ford

In this second and final part of our deep dive into the Robert Parrington Jackson case — Bristol’s oldest unsolved murder — we pick up where we left off: a dead cinema manager, a bullet fired in perfect sync with a wartime film reel, and a suspect so slippery he makes Keyser Söze look chatty.We’ll explore false leads, post-war paranoia, deathbed confessions, and one very suspicious newspaper. And we ask: why has this case remained unsolved for nearly 80 years? In a story this cinematic, the ending should’ve been scripted by now.Of course, if you’re a Psycho Killer Patreon member, chances are you’ve already heard this episode — ad-free, early, and possibly with a smug smile.
