Summary

Trevor Hardy would be a household name. Yet because his case overlapped with the case of the Yorkshire ripper, Peter Sutcliffe, Hardy has become overlooked. The Beast of Manchester, as Hardy would become known, had a thirst for violence. His hideous crimes terrorised the city of Manchester and left three families completely bereft. The extraordinary lengths he went to to evade capture are the stuff of nightmare.CREDITS: Producer: Poppy Damon Artwork: George Leigh Music: Dan Wansell CONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_Pod Instagram: bloodties_pod Email: [email protected]

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Molly Wansall and I'm Geoffrey Wonsall.
0:04.0	And for the last 16 years or thereabouts we've been having lunch every Saturday and often our conversation turns to murder.
0:11.0	Which is what prompted us to start this true crime podcast called Blood Ties.
0:17.0	Hi everyone, welcome back to the Blood Ties podcast. I'm Molly Wansall and I'm here with my father, Jeffrey Wansall.
0:23.6	Thank you for listening everyone. As always, thank you. We are incredibly grateful and just delighted that so many people listen. It's extraordinary.
0:34.5	Yeah, it's really nice, isn't it?
0:36.4	Yes, more and more people seem to be catching up
0:39.1	with us, which is very, very encouraging. Yeah, that's very good news. It is, and I think it's been good
0:47.4	that we've gone weekly. I think it's, you know, kind of easier for people to get in touch with us.
0:53.7	Get into it. Get into it more. And it's, you know, quicker turnaround. So if we do a two-parter, for example, as we did with Ed Kemper, people can get the second part more quickly rather than having to wait, you know, a long time. And if you don't know the story, you know, it's not surprising. You quite want to find out what happened. You know, what happened next. So how's your week been? Good. Yeah, I went to Edinburgh. It was very fun, as usual. It's a great place. It's, so fun. I would highly recommend anybody who hasn't been to the fringe to go. It's like really
1:28.7	great fun, but it's also like being in a vortex and you just are out and eating and drinking
1:36.2	and seeing shows and going from place to place and you basically can manage about two or three
1:41.0	days before you kind of implode and have to lie down. Yes. And I first went to the fringe in 1960. I was 15.
1:50.2	It was an entirely different thing.
1:52.4	It was really the festival itself was the big deal, you know, the big shows or the big concerts and, you know.
1:59.4	And the fringe was, oh, literally, tiny.
2:03.2	But if you go to it now, it's all encompassing, relentless, dramatic.
2:09.8	There's stuff on all day from 10 a.m. to 3 a.m.
2:13.8	Yes.
2:14.7	And if you don't want to sleep, you don't have to.
2:16.6	And there are food stalls and places to drink and there are people busking and doing
2:23.1	acrobatics and it's really, really fun.
