Summary

I welcome Colin "The Real Manhunter" Sutton to the show in this interview episode.

Colin spent the last nine years of his three-decade-long police career as a Senior Investigating Officer for the Met Police’s Murder Squad. During that time, he and his team caught serial murderer Levi Bellfield and serial rapist Delroy Grant.

British TV drama 'Manhunt' was based on those two high-profile investigations, with Martin Clunes starring as Colin.
