The Soldier Who Traveled 385 Kilometers

The Soldier Who Traveled 385 Kilometers: The homicide of Alice RugglesAlice dialed 101 and accurately described what would happen. The agents took note. Twelve days later, she was dead in her bedroom in Gateshead with twenty-four wounds. How did an entire system fail when a young woman screamed that her life was in imminent danger?In this episode, we explore the systematic harassment by Harry Dylon - three nighttime trips from Scotland, each separated by days - the police decision to issue a PIN without legal guarantees instead of making an arrest, and the fatal notification from the barracks Major that alerted the harasser about the protection order. Discover how Alice's phone disappeared, how the blood on Harry's "Help for Heroes" bracelet contradicts his initial statement, and why twenty subsequent recommendations did not prevent Holly Newton from being murdered in the same pattern in 2023.Victim: Alice Ruggles Date: October 12, 2016 Location: Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom Status: Harry Traiman Dylon convicted, life sentence, minimum 22 years (April 2017)- Alice reported the harassment on October 1 and again on October 7; the operator who took the first call was fired afterward. - Six of the twenty-four wounds were deep cuts to the throat down to the spine, incompatible with self-defense according to the coroner. - Harry was tracked by CCTV traveling 385 kilometers from Glencorse (Scotland) to Gateshead on the night of the crime. - Alice's blood on Harry's "Help for Heroes" bracelet and on the steering wheel of his BMW destroyed his initial claim that he never entered the bedroom.Alice Ruggles, Gateshead stalking homicide, 2016, murder, investigation, forensics, police failures, domestic violence, criminal minds, true crime SpanishIf you want to listen to this podcast without ads and have access to premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com.© 2026 OBOMEDIA.
