• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The other girl and Harper.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not with the other girl. It's a patient in
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the car. Yes, okay, can you pull over because we're
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: going to start CPR. No, I need you to stay
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: on the line between.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: You're watching totally true crime. Katie Simpson was a special
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: human being. She grew up in County Ammara in Northern Ireland.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It's a beautiful place with so much greenery, wildlife and
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a sense of community. Katie had two sisters and all
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of them loved to play outside and when they were
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: old enough, they started to learn how to ride horses.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But for Kate it became one of her biggest passions.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: When she finished school, she got a job in a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: stable yard and she would spend hours looking after the horses,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: riding them, show jumping and socializing with others from the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: horse riding community. In twenty twenty, Katie had started to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: see a boy she met through the riding community. His
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: name was Shane McCluskey. Katie was living with her sister Christina,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: her brother in law, Jonathan Creswell, and their two children.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Jonathan was also part of the horse riding community, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, the first of August twenty twenty, Katie stayed
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: at her mother's house with her new partner, Shane. Shane
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: left the next morning, and after he left, Katie sent
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: him this message, I'm glad you came Shane with I
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: am two. But then something changed and Katie asked Shane
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to hide the fact they'd spent the night together. Katie
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was not married, she did not have another boyfriend, her
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: parents were okay with Shane's staying over, and Shane didn't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have any other partners, so why did she want their
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: relationship to be hidden. Shane didn't hear from Katie for
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the rest of the day. In fact, he didn't ever
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hear from her again. At eighteen am on the third
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of August twenty twenty, Jonathan Creswell, Katie's brother in law,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: arrived home after dropping his two young children to his mother's.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He was on the phone to a woman he knew.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Her name was Hailey rob and as Jonathan walked through
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the front door, he screamed to Haley that he could
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: see Katie hanging. He told her to call Night and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: she gave the operator Jonathan's phone number. By this time,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he'd got Katie down and was driving her to the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: local hospital.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I know way the other girl at Harper. I'm not
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the other girls. It's a patient in the car. Yes,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: not just real okay, okay, even if you can pull over?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Are you in the car at the moment? Is the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: car moving? Okay? Yes? Can you pull over because we're
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: going to start CPR. No, oh, this guy, this car
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we guard. I need you to stay on the lineless
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: week hilder, she hi older, she quite fick.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: The operator tells Jonathan to pull over and to start
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: giving Katie CPR.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, just go one, two, three, four, Just point out
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: loud for me, just so I know you're doing the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: right rhythm. There.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Very fun. Paramedics arrive on the scene, but when they
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: examined Katie, they found that she had no heartbeat and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: she wasn't breathing. They also noticed that she was only
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: wearing underwear on her bottom half. She was taken to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the hospital and placed on life support, and it was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: then that her family got the devastating news that their
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: incredible daughter and talented sister was fighting for her life.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They had to hear that she'd been found hanging and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: tried to come to terms with that, as well as
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hoping and praying that Katie would recover, but she never did.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Katie Simpson died six days after she was found on
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the ninth of August twenty twenty. She was just twenty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: one years old. As news started to travel that Katie
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: had died by suicide, everyone who knew her was in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: utter disbelief. She was loved, she had a new romance,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a job she enjoyed, and a social circle of like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: minded people who she adored. Suicide is often met with
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: complete shock. We never know what internal battles people are facing,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: and with Katie, there had been absolutely no signs that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: anyone could identify that made them think she'd wanted to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: end her life. Katie's post mortem revealed some injuries that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: weren't conducive to hanging. She had bruises on her limbs,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but they were explained away by two people Jonathan Creswell,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: her brother in law, and a woman called Rose Demontorency Right.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Both of them said that they'd seen her fall off
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a horse and that those bruises were the result of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the fall, but the pathologists said that the pattern of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: bruising didn't fit with falling from a horse. Instead, they
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: looked like they'd been made by a rod or something similar.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It was like she'd been struck. She had bruising on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: her thigh and she'd been bleeding from her private paths.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: She also had defensive wounds on her hands. The pathologist
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: said that she could have died by hanging, but stressed
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the conclusion has only come from statements given by Jonathan
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Creswell and Hailey Robb, a woman that Jonathan was on
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the phone to when he found her. This conclusion was
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: not determined from her injuries. A forensic post morton was
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: also ordered and a police officer attended. The officer noted
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that DNA swabs were being done and they would help
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: determine if Katie had been sexually assaulted. The officers were
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: shocked when Katie's death was ruled as non suspicious. As
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: per tradition, a wake was held in Katie's mother's home
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and Katie's body was placed in a coffin in her
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: beloved riding jacket. Her niece placed a picture she'd drawn
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for her into the coffin, and her family and friends
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: paid their respects. They were consumed by grief and Katie
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was laid to rest. But this is not the end
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of Katie's story because Katie Simpson did not die by suicide,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: she was murdered. Who killed Katie Simpson. The answer to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: that question is her brother in law, Jonathan Creswell. Jonathan,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: known to some as Johnny, was a firm pillar in
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the riding community, and whilst he did have a talent
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: for horse riding, he was perceived by many as a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: sleez a creep an arrogance. He was loud and brash,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: constantly drawing attention towards his outlandish behavior that his dark
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: side would reveal itself frequently. The riding community was full
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: of women and girls, and Jonathan used it as his
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: hunting ground. He would seduce women and underage girls, often
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: becoming violent towards them. In two thousand and eight, he
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: met a girl called Abigail. He charmed her with his
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: humor and thoughtful actions. Though these were a facade, they
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: struck up a relationship which quickly turned violent. On Valentine's Day,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he beat her up in his car and he threatened
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to kill her. His violence continued throughout his relationship with her.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: On one occasion, after reading a message from an old
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: school friend on her phone, he drove her to the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: woods and threatened to kill her and went on to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: attack her for hours. Just because this friend was a male,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jonathan would often choke Abagail, knowing that it terrified her.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Nine months later, Abagail found the strength to go to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the police and she made a nineteen page statement documenting
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the abuse she had received from Jonathan. The following year,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Jonathan was sentenced to six months in prison, but upon
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: his release, he immersed himself right back into the riding community,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: even getting a gig as an actor on a television
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: advert for the Grand National. Whilst many stayed away from him,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: many others in the community stood by him. He was
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: given a welcome home party thrown by some of his
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: fellow riders, even though they knew he'd been in prison
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for abusing and strangling a young woman. Jonathan continued to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: infiltrate the lives of women, and eventually he formed a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: relationship with Christina, Katie's sister, and they had two children together,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: but their relationship was not a happy one. Jonathan exercised
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: extreme coercive control towards Christina, but her fear of Jonathan
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: meant that she never confided in anyone. What was also
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so incredibly disturbing was that Jonathan had been grooming her sister,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Katie from the age of ten years old. It was
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: because of this that, at the age of eighteen, Jonathan
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: convinced Katie to move into their family home. She would
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: visit her mother, but tell her not to tell anyone
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that she'd been there. Her mother always believed that this
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: is because she thought Katie was striving off work, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the reality was far worse. Jonathan was controlling every aspect
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of both Katie and Christina's lives. He had the passwords
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to their bank accounts, their social media profiles, and their phones,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and their family had no idea. Jonathan didn't only have
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: them under his control. He was also in other secret,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: controlling and abusive relationships with women and girls who worked
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in the stable yard. He would have sex in the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: stables with some of them, whilst others watched out for him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: People were scared of Jonathan Creswell. On the night Katie
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: had stayed at her mother's house with her new partner, Shane,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Jonathan had sent Katie a message on Snapchat. It said,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you need to reply to my snap right effing now.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: This had been why she hadn't wanted Shane to tell
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: anyone about their new relationship. Jonathan Creswell was told that
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Shane's car had been seen driving away from Katie's mother's house,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and it sent him into a jealous rage. Katie asked
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Shane to hide all their messages and any evidence that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they've been together, but Shane messaged her and said, Katie,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: is it not just easier to say the truth? This
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: makes me look really bad? She replied, no way, He'll
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: go crazy. Please don't, He'll kill me. Katie then went
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: on too a horse show, and sure enough, Jonathan Creswell
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: turned up. When the show was over, he made Katie
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: leave in the back of a horse box with him
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: with their friend Rose Demntmency right though she was not
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: in the back of the horse box with them, she
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was driving. They first traveled to a horse yard that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: belonged to another woman called Jill Robinson. Jonathan and Katie
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: then left the yard together and they were gone for hours,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: driving for miles and miles. During this time, Katie's his
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: mobile phone showed no activity, but at that time Jonathan
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: was in possession of Katie's phone. He'd come across a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: message from Shane that confirmed that he and Katie were
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in a romantic relationship. This fueled Jonathan's rage further, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: he assaulted Katie multiple times. They eventually arrived back home
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and Jonathan spent most of the night in Katy's bedroom,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: whilst his partner, Kati's sister, Christina, slept in the room
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: next door with their two children. In the morning, as
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: she got ready for work, Christina saw her husband and
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: her sister in bed together. This was at four thirty am,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and she left for work at six am. Christina was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: too scared to confront her husband. Around seven point fifteen am,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Shane tried to call Katie after countless messages he sent
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: went unanswered, but those messages were read. They were read
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: by Jonathan. Furious, Jonathan then attacked Katie and started strangling her.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: His three year old and six month old baby were
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the house at the time. Jonathan then drove his
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: children to his mother's and then he came back to
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the house whilst he was on the phone to Hailey
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: rob who he was due to meet that morning for sex.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And whilst he was on that call, he pretended to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: find Katie hanging. He then put Katie in his car
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and drove her to the nearest hospital. It was then
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that he called for an ambulance and pretended to do CPR.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, just go one, two, three four, just pint out
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: lied for me, just so I know you're doing the.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Right breadom there vere con.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: When they arrived at the hospital, only immediate family were
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: allowed by Katie's bedside. She was placed on life support,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and because it was August twenty twenty, COVID restrictions meant
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that only a few people were allowed to be with her.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: One of those people was Jonathan Creswell. Katie couldn't escape
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Jonathan even as she lay dying in her hospital bed,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but Jonathan had women who were prepared to do anything
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: for him, whilst Katie's family kept figil by her bedside.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Jonathan returned home, where he met up with Hailey rob
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: She helped Jonathan clean the crime scene, including some of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Katie's blood. She hid Jonathan's bloody clothes in the back
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: of her car and then drove him back to the hospital.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The police asked Jonathan where Katie's mobile phone was. He
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: said that she didn't have one. They said they wanted
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to search his home, and he deliberately gave them the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: wrong door number. The medical staff were documenting marks that
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they found on Katie's body, the bruise on her thigh,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the bleeding from her private parts, and the bruises on
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: her limbs. One of the nurses was so concerned about
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: her injuries and Jonathan's constant presence at Katie's bedside, that
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: she went to the police station and begged them to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: treat him as a suspect. They looked up Jonathan's previous
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: criminal history, and in error, the officer only saw traffic offenses.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: He didn't see that he had been in prison for
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: six months for abusing and threatening to kill his ex partner.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: So Jonathan continued to be allowed to be with Katie
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: at her bedside, alongside her mother and sisters as she
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: took her last breath. At Katy's funeral, Jonathan was one
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of the people who carried her coffin. He dominated the funeral,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: shaking hands with mourners and drawing attention to himself, But
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: not everyone was fooled, and some of the mourners started
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: to suspect that Jonathan was involved in Katie's death. After
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: her funeral, more and more people who knew Katie and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Jonathan had time to reflect on the whole horrific situation,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and they started asking questions. Katie's mother, Noline, went to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the police and said she was having serious doubts that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Katie's death was a suicide and questioned why she would
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: take her own life wearing so little clothes, knowing that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: she would be found. Police officers started to also ask
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: questions and question the decision that had been made to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: rule Katie's death as non suspicious. Their resistance by their
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: superiors and their pleased to investigate her death went ignored,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: but they continued to pie the pressure onto them, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: eventually they started to consider that they might have got
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: it wrong, and they looked into Katie Simpson's death again.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: A few weeks later, they arrested Jonathan Creswell on suspicion
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of Katie Simpson's rape and murder, and he was subsequently
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: charged almost instantly. He admitted to burying Katie's phone, but
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: he did not admit to killing her. Unbelievably, this dangerous
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: man with previous convictions for strangling a woman was let
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: out on bail. Katie's loved ones couldn't believe it, But
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: what was even more unbelievable was that Jonathan still had
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the support of some of the riding community. He was
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: seen with underage teenage girls in his car whilst he
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: was out on bail. Whilst Jonathan awaited trial, three women
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: were giving suspended sentences for helping him cover up Katie's murder.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: They were Hailey Robb, Jill Robinson, and Rose Demontmency right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Jill Robinson had also covered up for him when he
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: strangled his ex girlfriend, Aber Girl. Other details regarding Jonathan's
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: abuse and control of all of these women plus others
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: started to emerge. Rose had also lived with Jonathan and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Christina in the past, and Jonathan often called Rose his queen.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Many of these women also took out huge loans for him,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: including Katie. Jonathan had made Katie take out a ten
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: thousand pound loan and another woman had taken out a
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand pound loan just for him. Jonathan had even
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: asked Katie's mother for money when they were in hospital
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: as her daughter lay dying on life support. Jonathan Creswell's
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: trial started in April twenty twenty four, but the trial
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: only lasted one day because on the second day of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: his trial, Jonathan was found dead in his home he
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: had taken his own life.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: We did not do enough initially in responding to some
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: of the concerns who were being raised. Even our systems
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: failed to identify Creswell's previous significant and related serious offending.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: In my view, this is less about individual officers' actions
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: and more about this organization not getting this right, and
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: that's not acceptable. I can't apologize enough to the family
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: for the delay in getting the right response, which happened
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: four months later.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Katie's mother paid tribute to her outside the court.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It's heart breaking to know the offering that Master called
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Katie true.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: You can't imagine anyone could do such a thing, and Katie.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Will try our hearts to fight back.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Could you love life? Not?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: How we will? Trial has lived an overwhelming sense of injustice.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: It's hard breathing to know we'll never see Katie's smile again.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Katie's passion for horses, fear and his talent, and her
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: love for Famian friends and her love will.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Be The memories will be wiki. Katie Simpson will forever
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: be remembered as a talented, loved, and incredible woman. Jonathan
• 21:41
