Series 4, Episode 4 • The Murder of Lee Boxell

Season 4, Ep. 4

This is the fourth and final episode of The Murder of Lee Boxell. By now, Mark has clearly established the main suspect amidst the chain of lies and false information. A key witness confirms having seen Lee at St Dunstans church and Mark decides it is time to pay a visit to the main suspect's home to confront him.


Lee Boxell was 15 when he disappeared. On the morning of Saturday 10 September 1988, Lee left his home in Cheam, to meet with a friend at 11am in nearby Sutton. Despite extensive appeals on television and in the press, no one has come forward with any confirmed sightings of Lee.


Following extensive inquires the police found out that several paedophiles were operating in the area at the time Lee disappeared, one of whom ran the unofficial youth club and was jailed for eleven years in 2011, aged 75, after sexually abusing several girls who attended the club.


Our investigation in to Lee's disappearance has taken almost three years and our findings are revealed in this podcast. We uncover new witnesses, new evidence and, for the first time, interview two of the suspects, who have never spoken publicly before.
