Murder They Wrote with Laura Whitmore and Iain StirlingContains some strong language, adult humour, some scenes of a sexual nature, some violent scenes and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Laura takes us to 1993, when a routine breakfast in a New York diner spirals into a nightmare for tuxedo tycoon Harvey Weinstein. Snatched in broad daylight, he vanishes without a trace. With only cryptic ransom demands, unsettling polaroids, and a chilling tape to go on, detectives launch a desperate race against time to bring him home. But nothing about this case is straightforward, and the clock is ticking. Murder They Wrote with Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling is available twice a week on BBC Sounds.
