About this listen

In South London, England, a serial killer appears to be on the loose. Victims have been cruelly slain, bodies are piling high and fear grips the community. But the victims aren’t humans - they’re domestic cats, cute little kitties!

The killings spark a relentless investigation by animal rescue group SNARL, led by the formidable Boudicca Rising, her partner Tony and rock musician Rob. Acclaimed journalist Nancy Miller - who helped track down the infamous Golden State Killer - journeys from the US to help the amateur sleuths crack the case. As ever more victims emerge, the police reluctantly get involved, but doubts about the killer’s existence persist. When the attacks spread beyond London, fear and tension rise, leaving investigators and the public questioning who - or what - is really behind the crimes. And time is running out to solve the mystery with fears growing the killer could ‘species jump’– literally escalate from slaying cats to murdering humans.

Follow Nancy in the hunt for the so-called Croydon Cat Killer in this gripping podcast, which weaves together elements of true crime, a murder mystery, a love story and obsession.

From award winning film and TV production company Tucker Tooley Entertainment.

an interesting listen

A very compelling listen, but there was a lot of narration compared to content.

Very Good

I thought this was an intriguing story, lots of twists and turns, not much evidence leading to doubt's bout if there even was a killer, sort of mystery I enjoy.

Worth a listen

Growing up in Bromley, I had heard of the Croydon Cat Killer so it was interesting to hear more about it.
I would definitely say that it's worth a listen.

Someone out there knows the truth

Very well produced podcast. A great retelling of the hunt for the person behind these crimes. This is not the end of this story.

Protect kitties at all costs!

I enjoyed the story, and whilst I recall hearing about the CCK in passing (I'm in the north, but my work involves an office based in Croydon), I had no idea it was so complicated.
I have a rather petty issue with using the word autopsy, though. Unless they are training dogs and cats to carry out the examinations on their species, the correct word is necropsy. I told you it was petty 😀

The over sensationalist delivery

I disliked the way each episode ended with ‘click bait’ style dramatic cliff hanger. The fact absolutely nothing happened in the story.

Somewhat interesting

A reasonable investigation into the hunt for the CCK, but dragged out over far too many episodes and dotted throughout with unnecessary nasty judgement of the main characters and the British preference for not forcing cats to be forever locked inside like they do across the pond

Let Down in the End

Spoiler alert : I was very disappointed they didn't catch anyone but it was a story that was well told and in the end very entertaining. if this lady did another UK based investigation Iwould be very tempted to have a listen.

Very well researched & presented

Enjoyed almost every aspect of this thorough investigation bar the ending. It felt a tiny bit rushed to me. But I gave it 5x all around because it is a well researched documentary that highlighting many, hidden aspects of the story. Cannot commend enough the research and recording that must have gone into this. Very well presented. I shall look out for other podcasts from the same team.
