Fugitives: Life on the Run - Part 1
True CriminalsPlay episode
Show notes
In this compelling episode of True Criminals, Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt and journalist Helen Fospero explore what it really means to live life on the run.
Through firsthand stories and expert insight, they uncover the hidden realities of fugitives who slip through the cracks of justice—and those determined to catch them.
Martin shares memorable cases from his long career in crime reporting, including the unsolved mystery of Lord Lucan, the quiet surrender of a killer in Cyprus, and the unexpected wedding of a bank robber hiding in Spain. These stories shed light on the psychology, logistics, and often surreal circumstances behind a fugitive's attempt to stay one step ahead of the law. He also reflects on how extradition laws and shifting international alliances have reshaped the pursuit of criminals across borders.
Joining Martin and Helen in the studio is Nick Reynolds, son of Great Train Robbery mastermind Bruce Reynolds. Nick offers a rare and deeply personal account of growing up in hiding, constantly moving from place to place, with a childhood defined by secrecy, fear—and love. His reflections serve as a powerful lead-in to our upcoming double episode exploring one of Britain's most infamous heists
