Raoul Moat: Britain’s Most Infamous Manhunt
On 1 July 2010, Raoul Moat walked out of Durham Prison.
Within days, Christopher Brown was dead, Samantha Stobbart had been seriously wounded, and PC David Rathband had been shot and permanently blinded.
Then Moat disappeared.
What followed was one of the most extraordinary manhunts in modern British history.
Hundreds of officers. Armed police. Helicopters. Armoured vehicles. A search of the Northumberland countryside. A nation watching events unfold almost in real time.
And, in one of the most surreal moments in British crime history, Paul Gascoigne arrived at the police cordon believing he could help.
But behind the spectacle was something far darker.
In this episode of What They Hide: Hidden Crimes in Plain Sight, we look beyond the mythology surrounding Raoul Moat and return the focus to the people whose lives were devastated by his actions.
Who was Christopher Brown?
Why had Samantha told Moat that her new boyfriend was a police officer?
What warning did authorities receive before the violence began?
How did PC David Rathband become a completely random target?
And why, after Moat’s death, did thousands of people begin treating a murderer as some kind of folk hero?
This is the story of Raoul Moat — Britain’s Most Infamous Manhunt.
