Trusted To Kill : Episode 495

Trusted To Kill : Episode 495

Author: Always True Crime March 27, 2026 Duration: 31:00

Jean Windridge lived near Birmingham and was always immaculate in her appearance, with a real fondness for flashy costume jewellery which led to her gaining the nicknames among friends of ‘Diamond Lil’ and ‘Goldfinger’. She didn't wear expensive pieces, but loved the jewellery that she wore. At 78, Jean had a busy social life and lots of friends, being known locally for her kindness and sense of community. So when she was found murdered in her own home after an afternoon party at the local church, nobody could understand why anyone would want to hurt Jean. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast I look at the circumstances surrounding the murder of Jean Windridge.

Hosted by Adam Lloyd, the UK True Crime Podcast from Always True Crime explores the unsettling, the unresolved, and the historically significant criminal cases that have shaped communities across the nation.

You'll hear detailed accounts of crimes from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, examining not just the facts but the social contours and personal journals that give these stories lasting weight. This podcast operates at the intersection of history, culture, and personal tragedy, considering how a single act ripples through society and into the collective memory. With new episodes arriving every Tuesday and Friday, the series has earned a substantial audience, reflected in its shortlisting for Best True Crime Podcast at the 2026 True Crime Podcast Awards and over eighty-five million listens. For those drawn to the complexities of real-life stories, this podcast provides a consistently engaging and thoughtful exploration, making it a definitive voice within the genre.
