“Really original way to tell a story - through both a family member and a journalist. So sad that the police seemed so dogmatic (or ignorant?) in their thinking that they couldn’t fully investigate the case when it actually had a shot at being solved.”

“This podcast has shown the massive cracks in our justice system . The murder of Vishal was life changing for all who knew him but they have been let down at so many junctures by the police. Colin Campbell has done an excellent job of reporting regarding this case . I am in awe of the bravery and...”Read full review »

“Great, though infuriating, podcast! I hope more answers, or at least clues, are uncovered. I appreciate how thorough and dedicated Colin is, but I wanted to say I thought Vishal’s brother was an even better host and enjoyable person to listen to! Would love to hear more from him at some point, if...”Read full review »

Not for entertainment but a lot to be learned. Faith in humanity now needs restored. 5 stars to the team. Terribly sad that it takes a podcast...”Read full review »

“There is a good four episode podcast here. Sadly there are nine episodes. Repetition and an insistence on extended sections that need only a minute ruin this. Shame as it is an important story to tell”

“Well done BBC on an outstanding podcast investigative series into the murder of this little boy. So many strands followed up and brought together. Yes it is “true crime” but thanks to the journalistic skills and contributions from Vishal’s family, it never feels exploitative.”

“Did the cops have some behavioral or psychological studies supporting their belief that paedophiles who abuse kids in their care get satiated, and thus don’t hunt kids elsewhere? It’s preposterous, and the host shouldn’t have said it’s “hard to argue with.” As a straight male, I’ll hook up with...”Read full review »

“One of the best, though heartbreaking, podcasts I’ve listened to recently. It’s told partly by Vishal’s brother, born many years after Vishal was abducted and murdered, and also by a BBC reporter, spurred on by a retired detective who tried but was unable to get local police to do anything. It’s...”Read full review »

It’s framed as though the case hasn’t been reopened at all in 40 years when...”Read full review »
