Known for unmasking serial killer Peter Tobin and leading the now-infamous Operation Anagram, David Swindle is a seasoned investigator who knows exactly how to hold a room.

With over 40 years of experience, Swindle guides audiences through Britain’s darkest crimes with a clarity and calm that’s hard to ignore.
He’s joined on stage by Forensic Scientist Carol Rogers a lot of you will know from her vital, challenging expert role regarding the murder of Angelika Kluk and amazing cold case work. On stage with David and Carol will be roadcaster Heather Suttie, whose sharp questions get to the heart of what the audience really wants to know.

● Insights from the Peter Tobin investigation and cold cases
● The psychology of killers: nature vs nurture
● Warning signs — can you tell who’s capable of murder?
● How Forensics and Policing has changed and continues to change over the years
And the question that won’t go away — can someone commit the perfect murder?
Swindle doesn’t dramatise. He informs. Expect plain speaking, uncomfortable truths and the victim’s story at the centre of it all.
“Too often, the killer gets the spotlight. This show is about truth, justice and the people left behind. It’s always about the victims.” – David Swindle.
Suttie brings a publicist’s insight and a true crime fan’s curiosity — asking the questions the audience is thinking. Together, they break down each case, piece by piece.
