About this episode

The episode revisits the unsolved murder of Debbie Linsley, who was fatally stabbed on a train in March 1988.

As we move between the end of Season 14 and the start of Season 15, we’re opening the Seeing Red archives. This week, we’re revisiting four cases that took place in the month of March across different years — remembering the victims and reflecting on crimes that continue to leave a lasting impact. These episodes come from earlier in our catalogue, so you may notice a difference in audio quality as our production has evolved over time. We’ll be back with our Season 15 premiere on Wednesday 18 March. In March 1988, 26-year-old Debbie Linsley was fatally stabbed while travelling on a train from London to Kent. The attack happened in a busy carriage, yet no one has ever been convicted of her murder. Decades later, the case remains unsolved. In this episode, we revisit Debbie’s story and the unanswered questions that still surround her death. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
