Bristol's Oldest Cold Case: The Murder Of Robert Parrington Jackson (Part 2)

In this second and final part of our deep dive into the Robert Parrington Jackson case — Bristol’s oldest unsolved murder — we pick up where we left off: a dead cinema manager, a bullet fired in perfect sync with a wartime film reel, and a suspect so slippery he makes Keyser Söze look chatty.

We’ll explore false leads, post-war paranoia, deathbed confessions, and one very suspicious newspaper. And we ask: why has this case remained unsolved for nearly 80 years? In a story this cinematic, the ending should’ve been scripted by now.

Of course, if you’re a Psycho Killer Patreon member, chances are you’ve already heard this episode — ad-free, early, and possibly with a smug smile. Because Patreon is where you’ll find all our bonus content, exclusive behind-the-scenes episodes, and a complete absence of mattress ads or meal-kit pitches.

Simon Ford is your narrator-in-chief, bringing years of documentary experience, narrative insight, and just a dash of existential dread to every murder file.

Jacques Morrell, meanwhile, is the former copper with a memory like a steel trap and the bedside manner of a pathologist — perfect for guiding us through murky motives, missing firearms, and motives muddier than the Avon. If you haven’t already joined us on Patreon, this might just be the perfect time. Because while the suspects in our stories tend to disappear into the shadows, our best content doesn’t have to.
