0:00.0	Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing so well and welcome back to the Criminal Maker podcast.
0:16.3	Each episode we dive into the minds of some of the worst criminals in history and today we're
0:20.7	going to be talking about the case of Stephen Playdall. So this case it's a bit of a heavy one when
0:27.1	I first covered it on YouTube, which was a while ago, over a year ago now. It was probably the
0:32.8	heaviest story I'd covered so far and I do have to warn you about this case. There are some parts

1:45.2	However, following the new story of Stephen Playdall and his incestuous relationship,
1:50.5	things took an even darker turn. Stephen started to become more and more unhinged and this resulted
1:57.1	in some terrible consequences and I mean truly just horrible. So what we're going to be talking
2:03.2	about today, I do need to give a disclaimer. This case does contain child abuse and grooming,
2:09.0	so please be aware of this before listening to this episode. And now let's dive into the case
2:15.2	of Stephen Playdall. So this story starts in 1995 when Stephen Playdall is 20 years old. And I
2:28.8	try to find out Stephen's background, you know that I like to start with the background because
