An Everyday Psychopath: Episode 403

Always True Crime
About this episode

Seventy seven year old Judith Richardson lived in Hexham in the north of England. Judith was often seen out and about in the town walking her beloved pet dog Hamish a West Highland Terrier. and was well known for her love of organ recitals at the Abbey. One day when her bag turned up in Newcastle, 20 miles from her home, it was handed in to police who arrived at her home to return the bag.


Knocking on Judith’s door brought about no response. There was no sign of a forced entry to the property, but something did not feel quite right. Deciding to force entry into the property, the officers were stunned to discover the body of Judith Richardson lying dead in her hallway. Just who would possibly have wanted to kill Judith? And why?
