The Glencorse Murders

In this bonus episode, Simon and Tom discuss a harrowing crime from 1985 where three soldiers were brutally murdered in Midlothian, Scotland. They begin by catching up on recent events, including a disturbing case of a young man who pled guilty to stabbing three girls, compared to a school shooter profile constrained by the UK's lack of guns. They then dive deep into the Glencorse killings, exploring the crime scene, the initial investigation led by Detective Superintendent Brian Cunningham, and the pivotal role of Colonel Clive Fairweather. Suspicions quickly turned inward, leading to the arrest of Corporal Andrew Walker. The meticulous investigation detailed will fascinate listeners, from the matching of bullets to the recovery of key evidence. They also draw parallels to modern-day media management issues, reflecting on how such cases were handled differently in the past. The episode honours the memory of the victims and the professionals involved, underscoring the emotional and procedural complexities of the case.00:00 Introduction and Travel Plans00:13 Media Spotlight and Tom's Solo Career00:59 Discussion on Southport Killings02:37 Media Management in Major Cases04:58 Glencorse Killings Overview14:38 Details of the Glencorse Incident20:34 Uncovering the Truth: IRA Involvement Debunked21:11 Detective's Intuition: Spotting the Unusual22:07 Inside Job: The Army Connection23:12 Tracking the Weapon: Army Records and Leads24:13 Witness Breakthrough: The Fourth Man26:40 The Gunman Revealed: Corporal Andrew Walker27:28 Ballistics and Evidence: Sealing the Case28:20 Background of the Victims: Honoring the Fallen29:26 Walker’s Motive: Lifestyle and Debt31:00 The Aftermath: Walker’s Fate and Legacy33:05 Cold Case Reflections: Remembering the HeroesAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.
