00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 8>Now this story you take us to a place called Barking,

99
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 8>which is a small city in East London in the UK,

100
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 8>population one hundred and eighty seven thousand. So let's talk

101
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:15.519
<v Speaker 8>about Anthony Patrick Wallgate, twenty three years old. He's a

102
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 8>student at the University of Middlesex. Tell us a little

103
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 8>bit about Anthony Patrick Wallgate and how he comes to

104
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.199
<v Speaker 8>meet who we first he first believes is a person

105
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 8>named Joe Dean. Tell us about the circumstances and how

106
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 8>these people met Anthony Patrick Wallgate, and as I mentioned

107
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 8>Joe Dean.

108
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know Anthony Wallgate. He was a twenty three

109
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>year old fashion design student and he was in his

110
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>second year and you know, an average kid and he

111
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>but what he was doing was to survive for money.

112
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>He would go on the Sleepy Boys app, which a

113
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of escorts, male escorts will go on there and

114
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>advertise their service, and he would work that way, So

115
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of what he was doing. He would do

116
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.040
<v Speaker 2>it once or twice a week, depending on money, and

117
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 2>that's how he met up with Joe Dene. Joe Dene

118
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>approached him on the app and wanted to have him

119
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>come spend the night and he was going to pay

120
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>him for it. So so of course he took the

121
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>job and all nighter would be eight hundred pounds. So

122
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a lot of money.

123
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 8>M h. Now you talk about that. Just before that,

124
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.399
<v Speaker 8>he said to his roommate, to his friend, he said,

125
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 8>just in case, he took down all the details where

126
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 8>he was going to go, who is going to be with.

127
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 8>He even put the name Joe Dean down. So he

128
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.680
<v Speaker 8>and he said to his friend, just in case I

129
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 8>get killed. So anyway you talk about you talk about

130
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:17.000
<v Speaker 8>Wallgate meeting was supposed to meet this person, this person

131
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 8>that he was going to be an escort for at

132
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 8>ten pm at the Barking rail station. Now you talk

133
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 8>about two days later, because this is June seventeenth, twenty fourteen.

134
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 8>June nineteenth, early morning, police receive an emergency call. Tell

135
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 8>us what was said in that emergency call.

136
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, it was a it's a nine to nine

137
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 2>nine call, which is their version of nine to one one,

138
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:50.080
<v Speaker 2>so it's for it's for ambulance as well as the police.

139
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>And man was on there saying that he was on

140
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>his way to work and when he got out in

141
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>his car, he noticed a body, a male body, sitting

142
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 2>slumped up in the front just the front way of

143
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 2>the of the apartment building he lived in. So he

144
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 2>wasn't at the door, he was just beside it on

145
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the building itself, and it looked like he was passed out.

146
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>So the caller was saying that he was worried that

147
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>it might be a drug overdose or something like that

148
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>because the area was known for that as well. It

149
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>was a rough area. There was a lot of drug

150
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 2>usage and and things close by, so that's how he

151
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 2>reported it.

152
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 8>Now, the police usually and in this case, wanted to

153
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 8>know who this person was that was calling or when

154
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 8>they asked him what his name was, what he what

155
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 8>did he do? And is a reaction What did the

156
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 8>police in turn do afterwards?

157
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, he he hung up, you know, and and so

158
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>they would call him back, and he actually hung up

159
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 2>twice on him. They had to call him back a

160
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 2>couple of times because they wanted, you know, to know

161
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>who he was and more about the circumstances, as they do,

162
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>right if you've got a body, they want to know

163
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>exactly what's going on. And so they just called him

164
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>back two times. They stayed on him and to get

165
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>his information. You know.

166
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 8>Now when the police arrive, they discover this Anthony Wallgate,

167
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 8>you say, sitting with his back against this apartment building wall.

168
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 8>His shirt is pulled up, his zipper is open, looks

169
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 8>like he's sleeping. However, what did the police find in

170
00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.120
<v Speaker 8>terms of the what do they find with at the

171
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 8>crime scene in terms of the body, that's significant.

172
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, the significant part was that they found

173
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:04.480
<v Speaker 2>some They found a little bottle which GHB, which is

174
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the popular drug people take, and that was as well

175
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:14.759
<v Speaker 2>as they had a syringe in his pocket and he

176
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:19.120
<v Speaker 2>was overdosed. And one strange thing when you said the

177
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 2>zipper was up, his underwear had been removed and put

178
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>back on inside out, like backwards, and so that was

179
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>another strange thing. And yeah, and the way his T

180
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 2>shirt was pulled up around his chest, and so that

181
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>in itself was kind of unusual. But because of the

182
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:46.240
<v Speaker 2>drugs they found, I think in their mind when they

183
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>found him, he was just another overdose.

184
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 8>You also include for the suspiciousness that police mightn't well,

185
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.399
<v Speaker 8>we'll talk about that later. What they overlooked was that

186
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 8>there was fourteen bruises on the body and they just

187
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 8>attributed this entirely, this the entire thing to an overdose

188
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 8>of GHB. However, they the police did contact Stephen Port.

189
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 8>They knew now that the person, this Joe Dean was

190
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.600
<v Speaker 8>actually a person named Stephen Port, because they had contacted

191
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 8>him back after his emergency calls. Now, with that Stephen Port,

192
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.000
<v Speaker 8>when they actually went to question him, what did they

193
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 8>find out about his initial story? And as a result

194
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:33.639
<v Speaker 8>of that initial story being different, what do they do

195
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 8>police do?

196
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, because the way he put it on

197
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 2>the nine to nine to nine call was that he

198
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.279
<v Speaker 2>was just on his way out to work and he

199
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>saw the body and he thought they might need help,

200
00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and so he called them. So that was his, you know,

201
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:55.879
<v Speaker 2>initial story, But of course now they know when they

202
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 2>when they called them back and brought them in, they

203
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 2>had also checked the phone numbers and real life that

204
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the two had been in communication with each other. So

205
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the police knew that he had talked to Walgate and

206
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 2>so they knew he lied about knowing him. So that

207
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>put Port on kind of like he didn't know what

208
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 2>to do, and so he had to change his story again.

209
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 2>But eventually they knew that he had actually met him

210
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 2>on the app and offered money for services, so they

211
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>knew the two of them were together.

212
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 8>Now it's one of the most incredible things I've read

213
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 8>in any case, is this. And because we're not talking

214
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 8>about the seventies, we're not talking about eighties. A lot

215
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 8>of the books we're talking about the seventies, different attitude

216
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.279
<v Speaker 8>eighties still, the attitude that's not it was pervasive, and

217
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 8>a different attitude today will say. We're talking about once

218
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 8>they realized that they communicated for the purposes of sex,

219
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 8>that they realized that he was in Stephen Port's apartment.

220
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 8>But Stephen Port didn't mention that till it was pride

221
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 8>out of him the charges that he does not become

222
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 8>a suspect in regards to this Walgate, Anthony Walgate whatsoever. Instead,

223
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 8>though he is charged for something else, tell us what

224
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 8>he is charged with and what kind of sentence in

225
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.120
<v Speaker 8>real terms he receives for it.

226
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, unfortunately, this is something happening in twenty fourteen.

227
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Just it's so close. Their attitude was just with just

228
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 2>another overdose. It was maybe a gay sex thing or whatever.

229
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 2>So they just sort of had this roll their eye,

230
00:14:55.879 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>look at it attitude. And all they really did was

231
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.720
<v Speaker 2>charge him for really just lying to the police. You know,

232
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>they have a different term for it, but in general,

233
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you lie to the police when they're gathering evidence, you

234
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 2>can be charged. It would be an equivalent to a

235
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>misdemeanor in the States. So we're talking at a one

236
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.000
<v Speaker 2>year sentence, and of course he didn't serve that. I

237
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.919
<v Speaker 2>think they give him eight months and that was because

238
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>of some time he had done in prison, and then

239
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.200
<v Speaker 2>they let him out at three months and just made

240
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 2>him wear one of those you know, bracelets on the

241
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>lake so they can keep an eye on him. For

242
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the year. So it was really a

243
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.399
<v Speaker 2>slap on the wrist. But one thing that came from that,

244
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I will say was that he ended up losing his

245
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 2>job because of that, and so he ended up having

246
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>to when he got out go to work for a

247
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 2>bus stop and he worked in like one of those

248
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Speaker 2>little bus talk cafe canteen sort of places, you know

249
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>when you're waiting for the greyhound bus. You know, they

250
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>started little dishes. So he ended up doing that. So

251
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.679
<v Speaker 2>it changed his life in that way.

252
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 8>Now, an incredible character that you introduce in this story

253
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:25.320
<v Speaker 8>is Barbara Denham. She's sixty seven years old. She's lived

254
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 8>in the area for twenty eight years, and she does

255
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 8>a daily walk with her Border Collie and she goes

256
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:38.080
<v Speaker 8>through again this pathway that she normally goes and it's

257
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.159
<v Speaker 8>the property of the Saint Margaret's Church. So tell us

258
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 8>what she finds on this daily walk. August twentieth, twenty fourteen.

259
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, in East Parking, it's a fairly busy,

260
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:56.480
<v Speaker 2>small little neighborhood, and so the Saint Margaret's Church and

261
00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 2>the churchyard and graveyard, it's kind of like the only

262
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.320
<v Speaker 2>park that you can kind of go to with your

263
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 2>dog and let them loose, and she would like to

264
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.640
<v Speaker 2>let him off lead or leash, and so this was

265
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>a perfect place to go, so that's why she went

266
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.400
<v Speaker 2>there all the time. So when she was there this time,

267
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 2>she let her dog loose and he goes running as normal.

268
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.000
<v Speaker 2>But she noticed a man sitting against a little brick

269
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 2>fence that runs through the church grounds, like near the park.

270
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Speaker 2>And she was just walking around, clapping her hands and

271
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>talking to her dog as the dog was doing what

272
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it did, and she noticed the guy had no movement, nothing,

273
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, the clapping, So she went right over beside

274
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 2>him and it clapped and kind of yelled loudly and stuff,

275
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and realized that he wasn't moving a tall like there

276
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.519
<v Speaker 2>was no reaction. So she actually kind of tapped his

277
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>toe with her toe her feet and noticed that the

278
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.519
<v Speaker 2>man he didn't respond, and he had blue sort of

279
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.759
<v Speaker 2>tint to his face, and so of course she had

280
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>to call the police because it looked like he was

281
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.920
<v Speaker 2>dead or passed out or something that she couldn't figure out,

282
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>and he was. He was dead. And so that was

283
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>the first one.

284
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.400
<v Speaker 8>And she read in the paper Barbara a couple days

285
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 8>later that this young man was twenty one years old

286
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.000
<v Speaker 8>and he had overdosed. And of course, like you say,

287
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 8>this East London, this area is known for drugs. Now,

288
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 8>three weeks later, the same person, Barbara is again. She

289
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 8>wasn't deterred about walking her dog in the same places

290
00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 8>that she would walk before all these twenty eight years.

291
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.839
<v Speaker 8>So three weeks later, Barbara Denham is walking her dog again.

292
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 8>What does she find this time in almost the identical place.

293
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.440
<v Speaker 2>He was the identical thing. It was another another young male,

294
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.039
<v Speaker 2>sitting in almost the exact same place. It was on

295
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.559
<v Speaker 2>the same side of the fence, not too far from

296
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 2>where she had found the body. And it was the

297
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>same thing, you know, and the same thing. He was dead,

298
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, of course, of course her her initial thought was,

299
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>oh God, not another one. It can't it can't be

300
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>another one. And she went over to the body. The

301
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>same thing the man had. He was dead and sitting

302
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 2>against the same sort of thing too. He had a

303
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.160
<v Speaker 2>pair of glasses. He had much the same look as

304
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the first one.

305
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 8>Yes, like very much posed after death.

306
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, sost.

307
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 8>This person's name was Gabriel Kovari, twenty two year old,

308
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 8>and he moved to London from Slovakia, of course, to

309
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 8>escape homophobia and persecution and discrimination. Ironically tell us about

310
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 8>Daniel Whitworth, though again this story just keeps getting more strange.

311
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.039
<v Speaker 8>Where was Daniel Whitworth's body found.

312
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Well found? The thing is that they were both found

313
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty close to the same place. I think the biggest

314
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:30.599
<v Speaker 2>thing that was different was on Daniel Whitworth was from Kent,

315
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>so he was English, and he was twenty one years old,

316
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and he was working as a chef. And the difference

317
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.319
<v Speaker 2>with him compared to Kavary was he actually had a

318
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.240
<v Speaker 2>suicide note attached to his body on his left hand,

319
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and in the suicide note he said that he had

320
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:57.759
<v Speaker 2>been with Kavari three weeks before and they were partying

321
00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>and doing drugs and Kari and having sex, and Kavari

322
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 2>had overdosed and he felt really guilty and he couldn't

323
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:13.319
<v Speaker 2>live with himself anymore because he felt responsible for the

324
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 2>young man's death. So he was basically committing suicide and

325
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.400
<v Speaker 2>saying sorry that I can't live with it anymore, sorry

326
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to his mother. All of this in it. But this

327
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.519
<v Speaker 2>is where it was really strange because in the note

328
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:31.680
<v Speaker 2>itself there was a ps or. By the way, and

329
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 2>on it it said the guy I was with last night,

330
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.599
<v Speaker 2>don't worry what, he's not involved. He was just someone

331
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.799
<v Speaker 2>I met and had sex with.

332
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

333
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:47.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah. And the other part of this as well, again

334
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 8>the horror flying aspect of is that the police took

335
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:55.079
<v Speaker 8>that suicide note and then contacted the parents and gave

336
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 8>them a sample of that suicide note. Now, what did

337
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 8>the parents say to the police once they looked at

338
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.960
<v Speaker 8>that suicide note and then what did the police do

339
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 8>with that information from the parents.

340
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, they were just one hundred percent sure

341
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.920
<v Speaker 2>it was not their kids writing. This is not his handwriting,

342
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:23.079
<v Speaker 2>This was not him, and so they left it that

343
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.279
<v Speaker 2>they said that to him, this is it's not him.

344
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>The police didn't they didn't believe it. They just thought, well,

345
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>these parents don't you know whatever. He just didn't. It's

346
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 2>just what happened. So they ruled it as an overdose,

347
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 2>just as they did with Kavari. And in the media,

348
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 2>it's important that you know that they came out and

349
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.039
<v Speaker 2>they said there was absolutely no connection with the bodies

350
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.440
<v Speaker 2>that they had found in the park. They were all

351
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 2>overdoses and none of them had any connection to each other.

352
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.319
<v Speaker 2>But just the note in itself on Daniel Whittwell and

353
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 2>actually saying Kavari's name. Who's another body? There's a connection exactly, Yeah,

354
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>you know it's you see, and that makes no sense

355
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>at all why they would do that.

356

379
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 8>This is something that was found out later, but I

380
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 8>think it's interesting to talk right now about this. Uh,

381
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:33.079
<v Speaker 8>Gabriel had a boyfriend of Spanish boyfriend, you write, and

382
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 8>his name was thery Amando. Now during this time when

383
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.640
<v Speaker 8>this case really is got so many aspects of it

384
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:47.599
<v Speaker 8>involved social media obviously that this is very interesting. Why

385
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.480
<v Speaker 8>Stephen Port would contact online using an alias John Luck,

386
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:58.279
<v Speaker 8>Gabriel's Spanish boyfriend. Why did he do that again aspect?

387
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he wanted to know everything that was go going

388
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:02.599
<v Speaker 2>on in the investigation. He wanted to know everything that

389
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Gabriel's boyfriend would find out or anything that he had heard.

390
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.359
<v Speaker 2>He was trying to stay in touch and involved and

391
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>John Luck. He was pretending to be basically an American

392
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 2>student that was living in London and that was kind

393
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 2>of his alias. So he was very involved that way.

394
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.119
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to be keep an eye on everything that

395
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:29.480
<v Speaker 2>was going on around him and to make sure there

396
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>was no suspicion.

397
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 8>You write also about Whitmore's Whitworth's stepmother and talking about

398
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:49.240
<v Speaker 8>the state of the investigation into her son's death, even

399
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 8>after the coroner again with the suicide note and the

400
00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:59.119
<v Speaker 8>suspicious suicide note. What did Whitworth's stepmother find in terms

401
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.920
<v Speaker 8>of investigation by the police after her son was dead.

402
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she was shocked. She couldn't believe how they were

403
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>just it was almost like ignoring it. They didn't have

404
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:23.279
<v Speaker 2>any compassion toward what had happened. And it's kind of

405
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.720
<v Speaker 2>it's really hard to explain. She puts it in a

406
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 2>term of they were just nonchalant. They were just almost like, uh,

407
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, face it, he's overdosed. You know, that's just

408
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the way it is. And they just didn't want to

409
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:47.039
<v Speaker 2>hear anything about any sort of connection or any sort

410
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.119
<v Speaker 2>of foul play in any of this.

411
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 8>Now you introduce a very very instrumental character in here,

412
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:59.640
<v Speaker 8>Jack Taylor and his family, his sisters. But first Jack

413
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 8>Taylor twenty five years old, and he's a forklift operator.

414
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.839
<v Speaker 8>And this guy's different because he doesn't do drugs. In fact,

415
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.519
<v Speaker 8>he's never done GHB. He doesn't do drugs, in fact,

416
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 8>he's anti drug But yet he uses Grinder, the gay

417
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 8>hookup app to meet Steven Port. Now tell us what

418
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 8>happens with Jack Taylor, how does he end up? And

419
00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:36.359
<v Speaker 8>again then introduce two very very interesting characters, Jenny and Donna,

420
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:37.559
<v Speaker 8>his sisters.

421
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well Jack Taylor, like you said, he's forklift operator,

422
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 2>working kind of hardware. And he was twenty five, so

423
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:50.480
<v Speaker 2>he was not really Stephen Port's type. He was a

424
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:54.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit old and a little bit too masculine for

425
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.799
<v Speaker 2>him in general, so that was kind of a weird thing.

426
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>But they had he had been out partying. Jack Taylor

427
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:08.559
<v Speaker 2>was with friends and he met Port on grinder and

428
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:12.039
<v Speaker 2>decided they would they would hook up, drink and have sex.

429
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Now this isn't for money. This was not a a

430
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 2>rent boy or anything commercial. It was just a meeting

431
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and a hook up. So and and like you said,

432
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:29.759
<v Speaker 2>and even in that messages that weren't going on between them. Uh.

433
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Port even asked him if he liked if he took tea,

434
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, like which is their code word. Are you

435
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:40.480
<v Speaker 2>into crystal? Do you do basically you know, drugs? And

436
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.079
<v Speaker 2>and he was, of course no. But they met up

437
00:28:43.119 --> 00:28:47.319
<v Speaker 2>at the East Parking station at about ten pm and

438
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:53.440
<v Speaker 2>walked back to Port's place, and that that's how it.

439
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:58.559
<v Speaker 2>That's how they met and got together. Now, on this

440
00:28:58.640 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 2>particular one, he was found in the same park, on

441
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 2>the same fence, but on the opposite side, so kind

442
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 2>of on the other side of the little brick fence

443
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 2>that the other two bodies were found in the same

444
00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:18.480
<v Speaker 2>sort of position. Now again, they put him to an

445
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 2>overdose almost immediately, and it was the same sort of scenario.

446
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>Shirt pulled up and had little jars of GHB on him,

447
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 2>a needle. There was just the same similarities to look

448
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:36.720
<v Speaker 2>like an overdose. But there was two things that came up.

449
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.720
<v Speaker 2>One was the Pink Press, which was the London gay

450
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.920
<v Speaker 2>newspaper and website, had put out a warning to everybody

451
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:49.319
<v Speaker 2>that something is going on. These these men are turning

452
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>up dead and be very careful and there's someone's killing

453
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.039
<v Speaker 2>gay men. And the police were denying it completely. And

454
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:02.839
<v Speaker 2>the two sisters that you mentioned, his two sisters were

455
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:08.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of not buying anything that was being said, and

456
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 2>they complained and it took them for weeks to go in.

457
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it was two weeks before they decided we'll look,

458
00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 2>we'll take you down and we'll go through the CC film.

459
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.519
<v Speaker 2>And that's how they actually found going through the camera.

460
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 2>If a lot of people that don't know London is

461
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>all under camera, the city itself has tons of cameras

462
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 2>and they call it CCTV. And so they went through

463
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the East Barking one and they found Stephen Port walking

464
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>with Jack Taylor just after ten o'clock going back to

465
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Port's house. So that was how they made that connection

466
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.680
<v Speaker 2>with Port, and that was really kind of the turnaround

467
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:54.519
<v Speaker 2>where the police actually started to look at things from

468
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:59.160
<v Speaker 2>a different perspective, not just gay men out over sext

469
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:03.599
<v Speaker 2>and over dosing and dying in the park. That's the

470
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:07.400
<v Speaker 2>change the sisters is really what brought this case.

471
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.640
<v Speaker 8>Out, absolutely, and it's their insistence too, because as you

472
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 8>write in the book, they're trying to convince the police

473
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:20.559
<v Speaker 8>and they push for being able to look at that footage.

474
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 8>And without looking at that footage, Stephen Port would not

475
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.799
<v Speaker 8>have been identified at that point whatsoever, would you right?

476
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Right? And if it wasn't for them pushing because and

477
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.519
<v Speaker 2>the only reason that the police took them down, the

478
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 2>only reason was because they wouldn't stop bugging them. They

479
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:42.160
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't stop coming in every day and calling them and

480
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 2>bugging them. And so just for the sake of getting

481
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>them off their back was their attitude is the reason

482
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they took them to go through the film. So again,

483
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 2>that gives you a kind of an indication of where

484
00:31:55.640 --> 00:32:01.759
<v Speaker 2>the police head was at. Whether it was anti gay, homophobic,

485
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:06.920
<v Speaker 2>or if it was just laziness on the police. I

486
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:07.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

487
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:15.640
<v Speaker 8>It's interesting too, because what lends credence to this discriminatory

488
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 8>approach by police is that there was a coroner, Nadia person.

489
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 8>These were open verdicts, which meant exactly you'd say, the

490
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 8>open verdict means there's more questions need to be answered

491
00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:35.319
<v Speaker 8>in able to conclude. And yet she says because of

492
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:40.000
<v Speaker 8>manual handling prior to deaths. This is incredible. We never

493
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 8>mentioned this. One body was wrapped in a bed sheet

494
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.680
<v Speaker 8>and we're talking about suicide here. She also mentioned the

495
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 8>sunglasses and the GHB bottles nearby. But the thing that's

496
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 8>even more shocking is they were never she says, they

497
00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:59.039
<v Speaker 8>were never tested for PRINCE or DNA, and we're talking

498
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:04.519
<v Speaker 8>two thousand and four, team twenty fifteen. Incredible.

499
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's really it's kind of depressing. You really think

500
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 2>the police were out there looking after us, or out

501
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 2>there to protect and serve, and in this particular case,

502
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:20.240
<v Speaker 2>even with the corner leaving open verdicts so they can't

503
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:24.119
<v Speaker 2>even officially rule them as overdoses. The police released the

504
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 2>media they were just overdoses. So they made that decision

505
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.759
<v Speaker 2>even without getting the corner to jump on board, because

506
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 2>they couldn't because they needed other questions answered. They had

507
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.119
<v Speaker 2>too many questions in each one of these instead, and

508
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.000
<v Speaker 2>they would not give them an official ruling, so the

509
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:44.599
<v Speaker 2>police would just close it overdose, throw it on the

510
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:50.519
<v Speaker 2>closed file. So, like I said, if that was aimed

511
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.920
<v Speaker 2>at the homosexual community, or if that was aimed just

512
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 2>because they were overworked and too many cases, or if

513
00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:03.720
<v Speaker 2>they're lazy, you know, I sort of you know, I

514
00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:07.279
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I hate to say it, but I sort

515
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 2>of think it was a little bit more of the

516
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:13.599
<v Speaker 2>homophobic point of view. They weren't really interested in helping

517
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.360
<v Speaker 2>are go any further because they were gay.

518
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 8>M hm. Now you write in the book and explain,

519
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:27.360
<v Speaker 8>and we haven't talked about it, and I was not

520
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.000
<v Speaker 8>aware of some of these things. Obviously, the chemsects and

521
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.599
<v Speaker 8>party in play. Tell us what the role of these

522
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:37.320
<v Speaker 8>drugs are GHB you know, a date rape drug which

523
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 8>is known as a date rape drug, but you talk

524
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.559
<v Speaker 8>about other drugs like methamphetamine, crystal meth amyl nitrate, which

525
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:51.119
<v Speaker 8>is another interesting point that Jenny and Donna Jack Taylor's

526
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:55.159
<v Speaker 8>sisters were really alerted to that this was not an

527
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 8>overdose since they knew that their brother had not done

528
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:02.559
<v Speaker 8>any drugs, but also that there was amyal nitrate, the

529
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 8>evidence of poppers there as well, and an unused syringe.

530
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.000
<v Speaker 8>They thought, this is incredible, it's unused, and yet they're

531
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 8>talking about an overdose. So what I'm asking is is

532
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:23.280
<v Speaker 8>that with that information and their efforts, the talk about

533
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.239
<v Speaker 8>the effects of these drugs and the relationship to this crime.

534
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and what you have to understand and what's

535
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 2>first of all, grinder and is a very popular app

536
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>in England and it's in certain regions in the States.

537
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.519
<v Speaker 2>But on Grinder what there is is party and play

538
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 2>or chem sex parties, and so you can actually elect

539
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:53.760
<v Speaker 2>to do that. So let's say that's what you want

540
00:35:53.760 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 2>to do, So you can throw a chem sex party

541
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:02.119
<v Speaker 2>and market it on on Grinder, and people that belong

542
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to grinder will get notified of the parties that are

543
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.719
<v Speaker 2>close to where they live. If they're interested, they can,

544
00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, sign up for it, so they'll get a

545
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 2>notification there's a chem sex party or a P and

546
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:18.480
<v Speaker 2>P going on here, and you have to be there

547
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:21.760
<v Speaker 2>by a certain time because the doors close. They all

548
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:25.599
<v Speaker 2>get there the doors closed, they all get naked and

549
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:29.320
<v Speaker 2>they do a lot of combinations of these drugs and

550
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 2>they have sex and it's a sex party. It's kind

551
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>of taken the place of the old bath houses from

552
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:38.719
<v Speaker 2>the seventies and eighties in the gay community in England.

553
00:36:38.719 --> 00:36:43.079
<v Speaker 2>It's huge and so and actually what Port was doing

554
00:36:43.199 --> 00:36:46.159
<v Speaker 2>just so you know, he was actually going to these

555
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 2>and he was known as a as a drug boy.

556
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:51.599
<v Speaker 2>He would be one or one of two or three

557
00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.199
<v Speaker 2>people that would be at a party that would supply

558
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:58.280
<v Speaker 2>the drugs for everyone. So that's why he had so

559
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.239
<v Speaker 2>many drugs back in his apartment. It because he was

560
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.119
<v Speaker 2>actually doing these parties on the side. And and the

561
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:08.719
<v Speaker 2>main drugs like you mentioned amy nitrate or that was

562
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 2>paupers and paupers. It's it's it's really meant for heart patients.

563
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It just it opens everything up, all the vessels and

564
00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:23.599
<v Speaker 2>so it's it's popular for for anal sects because it

565
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>relaxes everything and so what people do is they mix

566
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:42.360
<v Speaker 2>things like GHB to kind of you you were you.

567
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.920
<v Speaker 8>Were sorry, you were cut off after gh B. You

568
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:48.199
<v Speaker 8>mentioned the drugs that you included were GHB and other

569
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:49.480
<v Speaker 8>drugs they combined.

570
00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, yeah, okay, So they mixed the drugs for different effects.

571
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:59.800
<v Speaker 2>So methodrone is one crystal meth g h B and

572
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Pauper's amy nitrate and they all do different things. You know,

573
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>they either slow down or the crystal myth stops people

574
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:13.000
<v Speaker 2>from actually going to completion, so they can have sex

575
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:17.679
<v Speaker 2>for hours. So people would do different mixtures depending on

576
00:38:17.760 --> 00:38:20.239
<v Speaker 2>what they were looking at. And that's why I said,

577
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and Port was supplying them with the drugs at these parties,

578
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 2>and that's why he had so many drugs. He was

579
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:29.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of a party boy. M hm.

580
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:35.239
<v Speaker 8>Now it's very interesting you include obviously now they have

581
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:39.599
<v Speaker 8>Stephen Port. Now they have and you provide the questioning

582
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.760
<v Speaker 8>of Stephen Port. How do they go about approaching that

583
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:48.000
<v Speaker 8>and in this interview what does he deny? Does he confess?

584
00:38:48.280 --> 00:38:53.880
<v Speaker 8>What is his approach to this interview from police?

585
00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, he has different different approaches. He kind of was

586
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>all over the place his general like, for instance, with

587
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:07.599
<v Speaker 2>even the first one he would he would mention that

588
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.119
<v Speaker 2>he would go out or that he wasn't doing drugs.

589
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 2>They would do drugs and he would go into the

590
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.840
<v Speaker 2>shower and come back and the person would be and

591
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:22.119
<v Speaker 2>convulsing and having some sort of bad effect with the drugs,

592
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.480
<v Speaker 2>or did too many drugs. So in every case he

593
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.480
<v Speaker 2>was trying to point to he was just having sex

594
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>or meeting up with these people and they were into

595
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the drugs, and they would get really into it and

596
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.079
<v Speaker 2>they would overdose, and he had nothing to do with it.

597
00:39:36.599 --> 00:39:41.440
<v Speaker 2>He was just trying to get involved in it. And

598
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 2>even in the letters I include later, you can see

599
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.559
<v Speaker 2>how in one of them he talks about each one

600
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.639
<v Speaker 2>of these deaths and he considers it at most he

601
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:57.079
<v Speaker 2>should have been convicted of manslaughter because you know, it

602
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 2>wasn't his fault, and he should never been convicted of murder.

603
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:07.639
<v Speaker 2>And he's appealed in that direction as well. So that's

604
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:09.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of his point of His point of view is

605
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:13.800
<v Speaker 2>he never murdered anyone, right, He was just there with them,

606
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:17.679
<v Speaker 2>and they they chose to do the drugs, they chose

607
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:21.639
<v Speaker 2>to overdose, and it was it was all about their fault,

608
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:23.039
<v Speaker 2>and he was just there.

609
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:29.360
<v Speaker 8>He also blames the drug like you mentioned that instead

610
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:32.760
<v Speaker 8>of him being responsible for the distribution of the drugs

611
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:35.159
<v Speaker 8>or giving these people the drugs, that he blames it

612
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:39.519
<v Speaker 8>again on Daniel Whitworth's So just to add some again

613
00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:43.480
<v Speaker 8>horror for the family. Now in this you mentioned in

614
00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:47.679
<v Speaker 8>this questioning by police, he's denied, deny, deny, and not

615
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 8>assume any kind of responsibility at all. Yet he goes

616
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:56.960
<v Speaker 8>to trial. At trial though you talk about other charges

617
00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:03.239
<v Speaker 8>being added or other crimes related. So there's not only

618
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.760
<v Speaker 8>he is he up for first degree murder on the

619
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:08.760
<v Speaker 8>four murders, but also tell us about the other charges

620
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 8>that he has included in that trial.

621
00:41:12.159 --> 00:41:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what happened was a lot of he was actually

622
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:19.239
<v Speaker 2>meeting up with other people. And I know in the

623
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:25.760
<v Speaker 2>trial there was a Muslim that came out and was

624
00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:30.440
<v Speaker 2>taken home and drugged, but he escaped alive, and you know,

625
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:35.199
<v Speaker 2>he woke up he wasn't administered enough drugs, so he

626
00:41:35.280 --> 00:41:40.920
<v Speaker 2>woke up during port assaulting him. And so there was

627
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:44.000
<v Speaker 2>there was quite a few people that had the same

628
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:51.920
<v Speaker 2>encounter but were not overdosed. They were basically given GHB

629
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and some of them were shot up with paupers and

630
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.079
<v Speaker 2>he would have sex with them. But some of them didn't,

631
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:05.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, they didn't they didn't die, And a lot

632
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.559
<v Speaker 2>of people didn't want to come out because, like even

633
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the Muslim, it's against its religion. So there was a

634
00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:16.119
<v Speaker 2>lot of difficulties in that m You.

635
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:18.920
<v Speaker 8>Also talk about that there was witnesses you write that

636
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:23.559
<v Speaker 8>were never spoken to, like John Pape that he had

637
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.239
<v Speaker 8>contacted police. This has come out afterwards obviously, that he

638
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 8>had contacted police about Kovari and he wanted to give

639
00:42:31.079 --> 00:42:36.119
<v Speaker 8>them details before the murder, and he had volunteered. Police

640
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:43.159
<v Speaker 8>ignored his offer of help with anything like that. So

641
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:46.239
<v Speaker 8>there was people that they that they did not speak

642
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.679
<v Speaker 8>to that they could have in this case, and that

643
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:49.559
<v Speaker 8>came out as.

644
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, Oh yeah, yeah, you know, and once it hit

645
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:57.639
<v Speaker 2>the press and we we knew what was really going on,

646
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:02.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things came out that way. And so again,

647
00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:07.239
<v Speaker 2>was it because the police were just being lazy and

648
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:10.000
<v Speaker 2>kind of going yeah, okay, you know, people would say

649
00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.599
<v Speaker 2>something to them and they'd go yeah okay, and they

650
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:16.519
<v Speaker 2>just didn't want to bother with it. And was that

651
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.679
<v Speaker 2>because they were lazy or is it because they just

652
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't care about the gay community it's kind of a

653
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:23.719
<v Speaker 2>huge question.

654
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:30.360
<v Speaker 8>Now we talk about the trial October ninth, twenty fifteen

655
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.719
<v Speaker 8>in a famous courthouse, the Old Bailey, and the prosecutor

656
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 8>is Jonathan Reese. And so he does a good job

657
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.239
<v Speaker 8>in this of outlining why Stephen Port is guilty, because

658
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:48.159
<v Speaker 8>this is not a slam dunk because of his denial,

659
00:43:48.440 --> 00:43:53.039
<v Speaker 8>and it's a complex case because of the overdose nature itself.

660
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:56.079
<v Speaker 8>And this is why this has led to this entire

661
00:43:56.360 --> 00:44:01.760
<v Speaker 8>story being quite twisted. Us about the prosecution of him,

662
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 8>and where Peter makes the points to prove that Stephen

663
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:09.840
<v Speaker 8>Port is the murderer and of also the perpetrator in

664
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:15.639
<v Speaker 8>these other sexual assaults and as ministering drugs all of

665
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:21.280
<v Speaker 8>these charges, how does he approach that prosecution the points.

666
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:26.159
<v Speaker 2>I think the biggest thing was he really he really

667
00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:30.519
<v Speaker 2>brought out all the other victims who were still alive

668
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and had been drugged and sexually assaulted by by Port.

669
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:36.079
<v Speaker 4>And.

670
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:40.039
<v Speaker 2>You know, it just it just was it was in

671
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 2>common sense, it was right in the same alley, and

672
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:48.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, there was just too much in common in

673
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the placings where he was. And then the very first

674
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:55.199
<v Speaker 2>body that he had that he put outside of his

675
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:59.239
<v Speaker 2>house that he only got perting police justice from not

676
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:03.159
<v Speaker 2>telling the tr So when you laid it all out

677
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and all the evidence of the escorting and the communications

678
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:13.159
<v Speaker 2>and the video between them, it was just it was

679
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I think it was pretty pretty obvious and just laying

680
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:20.719
<v Speaker 2>it out, and they convicted them.

681
00:45:20.800 --> 00:45:21.239
<v Speaker 1>M hmm.

682
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.800
<v Speaker 8>You say it was a seventh week trial November twenty third,

683
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:29.800
<v Speaker 8>twenty sixteen. He was convicted ten counts of administering drugs,

684
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:33.840
<v Speaker 8>four sexual assaults, three rapes, and the murder of these

685
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:39.719
<v Speaker 8>four men. And of course then comes the appeals. Tell

686
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:43.760
<v Speaker 8>us though, after this, with the media now being informed

687
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:48.599
<v Speaker 8>where they weren't informed before, and the victim's families outraged,

688
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:53.320
<v Speaker 8>tell us first about the appeals and whether they were successful,

689
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:56.519
<v Speaker 8>and then the other things that happen as a result

690
00:45:56.920 --> 00:45:58.000
<v Speaker 8>of the truth coming out.

691
00:45:58.840 --> 00:46:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, the the appeal, of course, didn't happen

692
00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:07.280
<v Speaker 2>until the eighteen to August of twenty eighteen. You know,

693
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:12.800
<v Speaker 2>he's forty six by then, and again, you know, he's

694
00:46:12.840 --> 00:46:17.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to put it that he didn't do it and

695
00:46:18.960 --> 00:46:24.400
<v Speaker 2>that it just didn't pass his documentation and all of

696
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the proof that they had, and you know, he was

697
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>just saying that you know, he was too high and

698
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.360
<v Speaker 2>they were on drugs, and that it should have been

699
00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:39.679
<v Speaker 2>manslaughter and it was self inflicted. But that, of course,

700
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the court didn't buy it, so his appeal was not granted.

701
00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:49.679
<v Speaker 2>And later in the fall of twenty eighteen is when

702
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.960
<v Speaker 2>they decided to do an inquest and go through all

703
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:57.599
<v Speaker 2>of the deaths and start to write a report about

704
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.960
<v Speaker 2>what happened in the case and so, and like you

705
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:08.360
<v Speaker 2>were saying that seventeen members of the Metro Police Force

706
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:13.880
<v Speaker 2>had been reprimanded for not doing a job, they've also

707
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.159
<v Speaker 2>apparently given them more sensitive training on crimes and how

708
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>they should be handled with the gay community and other minorities.

709
00:47:25.119 --> 00:47:29.760
<v Speaker 2>And the other big thing was that you know, that

710
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:33.159
<v Speaker 2>park first of all, and the church ground was known

711
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:36.920
<v Speaker 2>as a cruising area for gays. It was also known

712
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:38.880
<v Speaker 2>as a place that a lot of people would go

713
00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and buy drugs and even do drugs. And so there

714
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:48.239
<v Speaker 2>are fifty eight other cases that they've had to reopen

715
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:52.000
<v Speaker 2>go back in of deaths that were just ruled as

716
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:56.800
<v Speaker 2>an overdose in that park, in that area during those

717
00:47:56.800 --> 00:48:05.360
<v Speaker 2>two years. That leads to another set of investigations. It

718
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.840
<v Speaker 2>looks like April of this year they're supposed to come out.

719
00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:15.800
<v Speaker 2>Apparently the investigation is complete and will be released in

720
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.199
<v Speaker 2>sometime in April, so we'll see what happens from that

721
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and if anything gets changed or if anything really happens

722
00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to anybody for letting such crimes go.

723
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:34.119
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely, And it's really interesting too because there was ironically

724
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:39.079
<v Speaker 8>something called the Equality Act of twenty ten. And this

725
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.239
<v Speaker 8>is something that on May twelfth, twenty seventeen, as you write,

726
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:47.760
<v Speaker 8>seventeen family members associated with the four victims, will the

727
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:52.280
<v Speaker 8>other victims, but four primary murder victims filed the lawsuit

728
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:58.719
<v Speaker 8>against Scotland Yard discrimination because of their sexual orientation because

729
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:02.280
<v Speaker 8>they were gay, and especially breaching this Equality Act of

730
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:07.800
<v Speaker 8>twenty ten and accusing them of gross negligence. And they

731
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:11.599
<v Speaker 8>say it started when then he was convicted only of

732
00:49:11.639 --> 00:49:15.079
<v Speaker 8>perverting the course of justice. I thought that was a

733
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:18.239
<v Speaker 8>very ironic term as well. So tell us about this

734
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:24.159
<v Speaker 8>lawsuit against Scotland Yard by seventeen family members.

735
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're looking for compensation, you know, of over two

736
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:35.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand pounds and they feel like the victims were

737
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:42.079
<v Speaker 2>failed and right from the beginning, and I don't have

738
00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:45.840
<v Speaker 2>any doubt in their claims. You know, if they would

739
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.039
<v Speaker 2>have been looking out from the very first one on

740
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 2>some of the other ones could have been saved, you know,

741
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:56.000
<v Speaker 2>And what are they going to find in this commission

742
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with these other cases that were bodies left in the park,

743
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, was he responsible for any others we found

744
00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:08.000
<v Speaker 2>out about I think twelve in total that got away

745
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:13.719
<v Speaker 2>from him that he had drugged and sexually assaulted. So

746
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, at least that's a wide open door. And

747
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:20.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's interesting in some of the letters that

748
00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:24.400
<v Speaker 2>I've got from Cody, who was his pen pal in Manchester,

749
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.480
<v Speaker 2>there's quite a bit in there about he still thinks

750
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:32.599
<v Speaker 2>he's going to get out. Really, he still thinks he'll

751
00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:35.719
<v Speaker 2>be released. And when you look through it, he's still

752
00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:39.440
<v Speaker 2>talking about being an escort, and he was actually explaining

753
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to Cody as Penfell how to go about doing it

754
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and what he should and shouldn't do. And I put

755
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:48.800
<v Speaker 2>one in there that was really ironic, right about don't

756
00:50:48.840 --> 00:50:51.920
<v Speaker 2>let anybody. Don't take a drink from anybody, So any

757
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:54.639
<v Speaker 2>of your gowns or anybody you pick up, never drink

758
00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:56.920
<v Speaker 2>anything that they give you. Always bring your own drinks

759
00:50:56.960 --> 00:50:58.880
<v Speaker 2>because you can't trust them. They could put drugs in

760
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:03.800
<v Speaker 2>it was really ironic because that's how he was. He

761
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:07.599
<v Speaker 2>was he was committing his murders and crimes. M HM.

762
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:11.239
<v Speaker 8>Tell us about Cody Lackey and how you met him,

763
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:16.079
<v Speaker 8>and how it came to be that he corresponded with him,

764
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:18.679
<v Speaker 8>and why Cody.

765
00:51:18.679 --> 00:51:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Cody's an unusual guy. He's very interesting. He met him

766
00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:27.119
<v Speaker 2>through in the making of a documentary in the UK

767
00:51:27.559 --> 00:51:33.679
<v Speaker 2>about a different case, and when we talked about these

768
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:38.280
<v Speaker 2>sort of cases and how he knew different things and

769
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:41.519
<v Speaker 2>different serial killers, and and he had been in prison.

770
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:44.639
<v Speaker 2>He's been part of the gang world for years, was

771
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:49.920
<v Speaker 2>in Wakefield, was in with a lot of really infamous

772
00:51:49.960 --> 00:51:53.159
<v Speaker 2>serial killers, and he knew a lot of them and

773
00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:58.000
<v Speaker 2>kept in communication and he still does and he still

774
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:01.400
<v Speaker 2>communicates with a lot of other people and anybody that's

775
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:05.679
<v Speaker 2>interesting to him. He knows how to write, he knows

776
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:08.000
<v Speaker 2>how to get a whole of people in prison. He

777
00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:11.840
<v Speaker 2>knows people in prison and he connects with them and

778
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:16.199
<v Speaker 2>he communicates with him. So he's an interesting, interesting character.

779
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:21.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the least I can say. Very he's a he's

780
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:27.800
<v Speaker 2>a really different, different kind of way about him. He

781
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:31.519
<v Speaker 2>seems to be very involved with I think he feels

782
00:52:31.559 --> 00:52:34.079
<v Speaker 2>at home with these serial killers, and he feels very

783
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:39.440
<v Speaker 2>much at peace with them, and for him, that's his family.

784
00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.920
<v Speaker 2>And he's outside of the prison now, but that's he

785
00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:47.719
<v Speaker 2>doesn't I don't think he feels comfortable being in general population.

786
00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:53.480
<v Speaker 8>Mm hmm. You talk about to the well, you include

787
00:52:53.679 --> 00:52:57.440
<v Speaker 8>some of the letters and so tell us this sort

788
00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.760
<v Speaker 8>of the for for people that will read this, Well,

789
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:04.920
<v Speaker 8>what kind of correspondence? What what what is characterized by

790
00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:08.559
<v Speaker 8>the correspondence? What do they discuss basically.

791
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, Cody's pretty upfront, you know. He asked him all

792
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:17.840
<v Speaker 2>sorts of questions, and he sends some things. He'll send

793
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:23.400
<v Speaker 2>them DVDs and uh and different things that they ask for.

794
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Gives the money for the commissary so they can buy things,

795
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and and and Stephen's Port Stephen Port's case. He would

796
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:34.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about the different foods he likes, different things he

797
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.239
<v Speaker 2>likes to do, talk about his prison life, how he's treated,

798
00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:41.000
<v Speaker 2>what people are like in prison, the relationship that he

799
00:53:41.239 --> 00:53:46.960
<v Speaker 2>developed with another prisoner, he's uh. He talks about the

800
00:53:46.960 --> 00:53:52.639
<v Speaker 2>the murders themselves, and he still is convinced that he

801
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.320
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be put away from murder, that they did it

802
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to themselves. And and he gives quite like I said,

803
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:04.280
<v Speaker 2>he gives quite the description on how to be a

804
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:08.239
<v Speaker 2>rent boy or a male prostitute, and tells Cody how

805
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to go about doing it and how to do it right,

806
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and the different steps and things you should and shouldn't do,

807
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and including take a drink. And you know, it's quite interesting.

808
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.079
<v Speaker 2>And if this book does as well, which is doing

809
00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:28.360
<v Speaker 2>really well, it's part of that series of a twenty

810
00:54:28.360 --> 00:54:32.239
<v Speaker 2>book series, so it's a limited size and I think

811
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I've included five letters or something like that, And if

812
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.679
<v Speaker 2>it does as well as it's doing, we'll put out

813
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:43.880
<v Speaker 2>a full book and include probably about fifteen or twenty

814
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:48.960
<v Speaker 2>of them, so that you have even a better kind

815
00:54:48.960 --> 00:54:51.519
<v Speaker 2>of a view of what kind of a character is.

816
00:54:51.840 --> 00:54:56.280
<v Speaker 2>He's quite childlike. He's almost like a twelve year old.

817
00:54:56.320 --> 00:55:00.199
<v Speaker 2>He's really into comics and kitty sort of stuff. And

818
00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:02.119
<v Speaker 2>if you look at the letters and the way he

819
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:06.360
<v Speaker 2>writes and draws little pictures and stuff like that, he's very,

820
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:11.800
<v Speaker 2>very childlike. Still, he doesn't seem like he's in his forties.

821
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's probably the biggest surprise people will get out

822
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:16.119
<v Speaker 2>of that.

823
00:55:18.360 --> 00:55:21.559
<v Speaker 8>When you talk about that. He refers to the murders.

824
00:55:21.599 --> 00:55:27.559
<v Speaker 8>It's not like a confessional. But Cody was surprised that

825
00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:32.599
<v Speaker 8>he would speak while he was still on remand about

826
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:35.239
<v Speaker 8>any particulars of the crime at all, So and tell

827
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:39.159
<v Speaker 8>us a couple of the things that he did actually

828
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:43.559
<v Speaker 8>mention that again, Cody thought was surprising and not so wise.

829
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Well like yeah, like Cody said, you know, when you're

830
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:51.880
<v Speaker 2>still in trial, and you're still before you've even been convicted,

831
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:56.079
<v Speaker 2>and even after in your appealing, everything is being watched.

832
00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So the letters are being read, the phone calls are

833
00:55:59.440 --> 00:56:03.480
<v Speaker 2>being listened to, your visitors are being listened to when

834
00:56:03.480 --> 00:56:08.000
<v Speaker 2>they're with you, Like, it's not there's nothing private. So,

835
00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.760
<v Speaker 2>like you said, during those times, you never talk about

836
00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the details of the crime. You just don't because anything

837
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:23.679
<v Speaker 2>can be used. And he was just like wide open.

838
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:28.360
<v Speaker 2>He would just talk about the cases. He would talk

839
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:34.199
<v Speaker 2>about going meeting them, going home with them. But he

840
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:38.280
<v Speaker 2>has a very innocent side to him. It's in the

841
00:56:38.360 --> 00:56:43.280
<v Speaker 2>sense that he's like it really wasn't his fault. He

842
00:56:43.440 --> 00:56:46.920
<v Speaker 2>was just going along with the guy, whoever it was,

843
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:51.719
<v Speaker 2>and it was all the guys. He was always the

844
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:55.639
<v Speaker 2>more innocent of them. And it's just not it's just

845
00:56:55.679 --> 00:57:00.519
<v Speaker 2>not believable. It just isn't, especially if you see you know,

846
00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:06.400
<v Speaker 2>his Facebook, his his fights, you see his grinder account

847
00:57:06.440 --> 00:57:08.559
<v Speaker 2>and what he did. He used to wear a wig.

848
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Like the cover of the book, you see a picture

849
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:17.159
<v Speaker 2>of him when he's being interrogated without the wig and

850
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:19.360
<v Speaker 2>all that. But then I've also put a picture of

851
00:57:19.440 --> 00:57:24.079
<v Speaker 2>him with his blonde wig on that he would put

852
00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.320
<v Speaker 2>on Grinder in different and all sorts of apps, not

853
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:32.960
<v Speaker 2>just Grinder, So he had a completely different image, very

854
00:57:33.159 --> 00:57:34.360
<v Speaker 2>very very unusual.

855
00:57:37.119 --> 00:57:40.519
<v Speaker 8>And with this as well, even though he was disingenuous

856
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:45.239
<v Speaker 8>and untruthful in the police interview, and it provides for

857
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:48.719
<v Speaker 8>the reader as well, he does give an education of

858
00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:55.400
<v Speaker 8>sorts of this sordid, secretive lifestyle of chem sex and

859
00:57:55.480 --> 00:57:56.840
<v Speaker 8>party and play, doesn't.

860
00:57:56.559 --> 00:58:00.920
<v Speaker 2>He Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He explained it to the

861
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:05.440
<v Speaker 2>dues and the don'ts and what happens in them and

862
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:10.199
<v Speaker 2>and and it's really surprising because I think most people

863
00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:14.079
<v Speaker 2>in mainstream society have no idea these things are going on.

864
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:20.719
<v Speaker 2>I think they'll be shocked. And every time I've talked

865
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:23.440
<v Speaker 2>about this or people read the book, there there seem

866
00:58:23.519 --> 00:58:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to be more in shock about chem sacks, parties and

867
00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:31.239
<v Speaker 2>that this is going on and going on to a

868
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:37.079
<v Speaker 2>large degree. This isn't just like some little one one

869
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:40.840
<v Speaker 2>one timer. This is a very very big thing going on,

870
00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's really popular in England and it's really caught

871
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:46.119
<v Speaker 2>on on certain cities and the States as well.

872
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:52.480
<v Speaker 8>Right right, Yeah, it's an interesting phenomena that you're chronicle

873
00:58:52.519 --> 00:58:57.559
<v Speaker 8>in this book. It's incredible in terms of the families

874
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:02.360
<v Speaker 8>and their lawsuit as well. What about the media, what

875
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:05.840
<v Speaker 8>was in the end how did the media present this?

876
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:08.519
<v Speaker 8>What was the tone of it in terms of outrage

877
00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:12.320
<v Speaker 8>over the police treatment? How did they treat this in

878
00:59:12.400 --> 00:59:13.719
<v Speaker 8>the media in the end?

879
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in general in the UK it is BBC and

880
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the major media are pretty have taken a really hard

881
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:28.519
<v Speaker 2>stance against the police and even Scotland Yard for its

882
00:59:28.599 --> 00:59:33.400
<v Speaker 2>own self. People don't realize how it operates in England,

883
00:59:33.480 --> 00:59:37.559
<v Speaker 2>so they've been pretty hard on the Metro Police. So

884
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I think in essence, people were shocked, outraged and it

885
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.760
<v Speaker 2>all went one way and so there's really no defense.

886
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:53.360
<v Speaker 2>There's very little backlash for the police. I think that

887
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:55.880
<v Speaker 2>if anything, a lot of the Metro Police in London

888
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>are just getting thrown under the bus by Scotland yard

889
01:00:01.519 --> 01:00:05.039
<v Speaker 2>as an out and I guess that's just sort of

890
01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the way politics goes. But with that being said, hopefully

891
01:00:11.920 --> 01:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>things are better in the future and they're handled better

892
01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:19.039
<v Speaker 2>in the future, and they'll be watched for the next

893
01:00:19.119 --> 01:00:22.559
<v Speaker 2>little while because it's very fresh in the minds over there,

894
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and this is something that's going on in the media

895
01:00:25.519 --> 01:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>and BBC and ITV to a large degree, it's being

896
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>talked about, so it's not it's not being forgotten so

897
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>quickly as a lot of other stories have been.

898
01:00:41.039 --> 01:00:44.960
<v Speaker 8>And you and like you say, the expected date for

899
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:50.239
<v Speaker 8>the results of that results of that inquest into these

900
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:54.320
<v Speaker 8>deaths will happen this year. So again sustaining the story

901
01:00:54.480 --> 01:00:59.519
<v Speaker 8>in the press this year, again, keeping the story in

902
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:01.440
<v Speaker 8>media and in the public eye.

903
01:01:02.440 --> 01:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, because people are going to heads are going

904
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:07.679
<v Speaker 2>to roll when it comes out in April. There's going

905
01:01:07.719 --> 01:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to be you know, some people are going to pay

906
01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the price for it, and it's going to make a

907
01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of media. It'll make huge splash over there. Not

908
01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:19.840
<v Speaker 2>so much in the States because of the political world

909
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:23.320
<v Speaker 2>and everything going on captivating the news in the US,

910
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>but in the UK it's a very big story and

911
01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>it's very important to them. Over there.

912
01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:34.280
<v Speaker 8>And it's interesting too. You talked about that the police

913
01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:40.159
<v Speaker 8>introduced new guidance for them to deal with chem sex allegations,

914
01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:43.880
<v Speaker 8>and that's also you talked about the fifty eight cases

915
01:01:43.920 --> 01:01:50.119
<v Speaker 8>of the GHB overdose during Steven Port's three year active time.

916
01:01:50.239 --> 01:01:52.760
<v Speaker 8>So it's not like this a review of all the

917
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:58.519
<v Speaker 8>cases historically. It's specifically trying to connect it to possibly

918
01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:03.000
<v Speaker 8>Stephen Port eight cases in that three year period where

919
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:05.880
<v Speaker 8>he was active and in and around the area. So

920
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:10.480
<v Speaker 8>they're not it's not a wild assertion or assumption. It's

921
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:13.480
<v Speaker 8>what they think that out of those fifty eight cases,

922
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:16.400
<v Speaker 8>they think there may be something, don't they.

923
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh for sure, and there was periods of months and

924
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:25.719
<v Speaker 2>areas that we don't know, you know, he was active

925
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>and there's no nobody has come forward. Perhaps they're people

926
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>that were murdered as well that didn't escape. So and

927
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:42.440
<v Speaker 2>with that many bodies being found of overdose, I think

928
01:02:42.480 --> 01:02:45.679
<v Speaker 2>that they're there. They have to be responsible now, they

929
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>have to come back and they have to show some

930
01:02:48.559 --> 01:02:51.559
<v Speaker 2>initiative to doing something for the people that that actually

931
01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>died from from this awful killer.
