In this episode, Simon and Tom dive into a range of compelling topics. Simon starts with a light-hearted dilemma about promising free entry to a podcast event, but the conversation quickly takes a serious turn as they discuss a major inquiry into the sexual abuse and rape of young boys in Glasgow's Govan area. Using insights from Tom’s FBI training, they delve into the complexities of linking multiple cases through modus operandi, descriptions, and forensic evidence. Simon recounts a specific investigation from the 1980s, detailing the initial resistance from a DCI who was too cautious. Simon and his colleague Jim Moffat, despite being young detectives often at loggerheads, discovered the suspect through unconventional and risky means. They reflect on the critical importance of good systems and the balancing act between innovative pursuits and formal protocol. Personal anecdotes provide a rich backdrop, illustrating the dynamics of police work and the importance of teamwork and good leadership. The episode offers both seasoned insights and a nostalgic look back at the investigative methods of another era.
