If you grew up in the eighties, you know exactly what a bootleg VHS tape looks like.
The tracking is warped, the shadows are pitch black, and the audio sounds completely demonic.
Well, in 1987, Scotland Yard intercepted one of these heavily degraded tapes and immediately launched a multimillion-pound tactical manhunt.
Why? Because they were dead certain they had just uncovered a horrific underground snuff film.
It is one of the wildest, most embarrassing police screw-ups in British history, and the legal fallout is absolutely infuriating.
I just dropped a full, deep-dive palate cleanser episode on this exact case, but it is available exclusively over on our brand-new Patreon.
Head over to the Patreon, grab your headphones, and I'll see you there.
