One can only hope current crime doc producers will one day return to this 'all fact, no-frills' style one day. No dramatic and/or ominous music cues. No flashy editing. No repeated scenes, details or dialogues. All the unnecessary style over substance that we see too often in modern crime docs. Just found your channel and want to say cheers for the uploads. 'Futureisgosub' was my only previous resource for old CW eps and now I have two more (You and Andy JS) to get through over the next week or two. Keep em coming, chief.

Dear Roman: After 25 years as a True Crime fan, I have come to the conclusion that most True Crime videos are directed at the Soap Opera fans in the audience who are merely disguised as True Crime fans. These pitiful creatures particularly like the endless crying and blubbering that comes from the family members of the murder victim who also inevitably proclaim what a wonderful person their loved one was. Generally, the typical Soap Opera fan in the True Crime audience seems to feast on the misery in other people's lives. You can easily confirm what I am saying by perusing the comments on a few YT True Crime videos. Since Soap Opera fans are so prevalent in the True Crime audience, True Crime producers give these pitiful creatures what they want to the decided disadvantage of REAL True Crime fans like you and me. ... jkulik919@gmail.com

Such a nice comment. My daily routine too. ☺️

Stephanie Slater was a beautiful, kind and innocent human being. The psychological shock however, was too much and it probably triggered the cancer she died of aged 50.

Giving Julie Dart’s family false hope in regards to asking for a ransom for her safe return was disgusting as well. She was probably already dead when the policewoman was waiting at Birmingham new street station with the money. Total psycho. Playing games with people’s lives, the police and the victims families obviously made him feel important. Shows how much of a sad and insignificant little man he was.

Rest in peace beautiful Stephanie, God bless her courage and resilience. What an unjust tragedy that she passed away so young, and that monster who killed Julie and terrorized them both is still alive. I hope he is being abused in prison every day.

Kudos for The manhunt tip-off !

Sams was evil beyond comprehension, he had reasonably paid work and skills that can attract a high income. He was not fond of luxury and, as far as I know, had no expensive vices such as gambling or drugs to feed. Pure evil, malice and cowardice. It's very annoying that he is still alive while lovely Stephanie is dead. He even published an article saying that pensioners are better off in prison than outside.

Very hard job being a policeman, this was a huge enquiry which ended with the detectives using good investigative techniques catching Mr Sams at his work premises.

Excellent production. Thanks.

SHE died.

Fantastic piece of programme making that has stood the test of time well. Unfortunately, later after this programme was made, Stephanie Slater admitted that Sams had raped her on the first night she was captive. It is therefore highly likely he also raped Julie Dart. Sams later, in response to the rape allegation, tried to claim Slater had consensual sex with him. The fact he made this claim rather than outright denying they had sex is highly suggestive Slater was telling the truth. She said she didn't admit he raped her during the intial investigation and trial because she wanted to spare her mother the pain. She was a truly brave woman.

I rather enjoyed that. Puuuurfect for this rainy Saturday in n.y.c. Thank you for posting!!!!

Who knew Michael Sams was the godfather of all the idiots who spell lose as loose?

thanks for this!!!! love the crimewatch files, do you have any more of the files?

So no ones gonna mention the bit where the weird woman walks up and starts talking about hand signals, that bit cracks me up!!

At least he was good to his word and released her. Lesley Whittle died after her kidnap and Suzy Lamplugh was never seen again.

Sams is still in jail, and not likely to ever be released, he is happy enough about that, as he thinks pensioners in jail are looked after better than pensioners who are free, sadly he is correct! Free food, heating, electric and pocket money, this is more than law abiding pensioners get.

Thank you redcard. Yes, if you can give us a link to the Crimewatch group I would very much want to join the group. Thanks again

1:08:00 😂😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing. They didn’t think it could be him as no one had ever mentioned that he had a limp before. Then ‘Tim’ says the best burglar he knows has no legs and then they decide it’s possibly him after all. Wtf 😂😂😂

When sweet Stephanie asked her family to look after her cat bless her beautiful heart ♥ 😢 And when i saw her on tv happily hugging her beloved cat i wept tears of joy.

Why does Susan Oake, the woman being interviewed at the beginning and end, smile so much when talking about this horrible event?

the man you are looking for will be middle aged somewhere between 25 and 70 who likes knifes , unemployed local lad who has a history of violence but does his nans shopping ..... oh ok thx paul here's your £4,000

RIP Stephanie and Julie. this individual should have hanged for his wicked crimes against these two ladies.

This man was going out with a member of my family who had to go into hiding. There's a picture of him sat around the table with my Gran and my Aunties. When he organised to have the ransom money dropped off, it was 20 metres behind my school. Small world.

Wait - there's such a thing as a brick specialist?!

There's all sorts... Look on the railway murders there's even a person who can tell types of rope I think they contact the manufacturer and can tell when and how it was made... Everything is always unique... Police amaze me because they really do look into every little bit of evidence no matter how small

Millions upon millions of bricks in the world. Every one is unique. I bet they can tell exactly where in the world each one comes from. Bricks are beautiful. There are bricklaying contests, Olympic in nature....It takes no less than five years to become competent in laying them. And then there is The Masonic Order. The secretive organization that ran the world for so long.

@Wal Leece I'm in America married to one. My husband didn't do an apprenticeship, he learned on the job. When some older guy at work saw his first firebox he said "Hey my main shit stain!" all day long. We don't call them brickies here. Just masons. I'm a sparkie. He always made 10X more then I did and no license required just a scaffolding safety class. I retired to keep house.

why are so many coppers such divs? even the top man was saying 'i just could not believe it, i thought it was a wind up' after the arresting officers confirmed EVERYTHING stephanie had said about her abduction. pond life level of intellect.

Redcard74, Thank you for another hidden gem you pushed to the surface!!

Paul Britton, waxing lyrical and stating the obvious since 1978!

Excellent vid! Cheers n beers!!

Used to really look forward to watching crimewatch back in the day, used to show it on a Thursday was it once a month..? Great program

Wasn't Britton discredited in regards to Brady? I am sure he was involved in another serious case and he made a complete mess of it.

Britton cocked up the whole Rachel nickell case.Not only did it nearly convict an innocent man,it lead to a double murder in 1993 because Britton said the serial rapes and Rachels murder weren't connected .

Michael Sams was played by actor John Grillo whom you may remember as the doctor Edmund Blackadder visits in the Blackadder the 2nd episode "Bells" and prescribes him a course of leeches to cure his infatuation for his man servant Bob.

People who think they are clever never understand their are always those that are more clever than them. The police in this case...Sams is an evil wicked man and i hope he never sees the light of day again.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

The police should regularly remind him ; it is not the police he needs to convince - its a judge and jury.

Thank you!
