Footsteps in the park - who murdered Geoffrey Houghton-Windsor?

from Tragedy Unravelled · host Jason Lightoller

Beaulieu Heights was populated with about 20 people.  It was dark and the densely populated woodland hid the glow of distant streetlights.  Someone was heard running through the walkways, and shortly afterwards, in the early hours of the morning in the summer of 2002, Geoffrey Houghton-Windsor was found lying unconscious beneath a tree in a park in south London.  A piece of jewellery was found lying beside him.  Despite interviews and years of unanswered questions, no arrests or convictions were ever made.  To this day - more than 20 years later - the murder remains unsolved and the park still carries the shadow of that night

Taking Cover It was the worst Marine-on-Marine friendly fire incident in modern history. But it's not in the history books. An explosion in Fallujah, Iraq left three dead, a dozen wounded, and – for high-ranking officials – a dilemma. So, why were the families of the deceased lied to? Why did the reports mysteriously disappear? And why do survivors still have to wonder about what happened on the worst day of their lives? Taking Cover, an NPR investigative series from the Embedded podcast, isn't just a show about unraveling blue-on-blue tragedy during the Iraq war. It's about what happens when we send our young to war. It's a story of betrayal, brotherhood, and what's owed – to families, the wounded and to the American public.
