About this listen
This week, we’re delving into Bristol’s oldest unsolved murder — the mysterious shooting of cinema manager Robert Parrington Jackson in 1946. A real-life whodunnit with a cinematic twist: the killer timed the shot to coincide with gunfire in the film playing next door. All very Hitchcock meets hardboiled noir — minus the tidy ending.
This is Part One of a two-part investigation. Part Two drops next Friday… unless, of course, you’re a Psycho Killer Patreon member — in which case it’s already waiting for you, ad-free and smugly ahead of the crowd. And speaking of what lurks behind the curtain — this episode was originally created as a Patreon exclusive: a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse inside the Psycho Killer engine room — or, if you prefer, the minds of your hosts. Enter if you dare.
👤 Simon Ford is a veteran documentary-maker who’s spent decades interviewing the disturbed and the dangerous — though some would say his riskiest move was inviting former detective Jacques Morrell onto the show in the first place.
🕵️♂️ Jacques Morrell (yes, spelled the French way, but don’t hold that against him) is a retired copper with a dry wit, a long memory, and a very particular set of skills — many of which come in handy when rummaging through Britain’s unsolved cases, or just winding up Simon.
Together, they bring experience, intelligence and just enough gallows humour to keep the darkness at bay. If you're enjoying the show, join us on Patreon. You’ll get early access to all our episodes, exclusive bonus content, and ad-free listening — because let’s face it, nothing kills the mood in a murder story like a mattress commercial. Subscribe, review, and remember — when the killer’s unknown, the mind fills in the blanks.
