Murder Investigation Team

Product Information

Biography: Steven was a police officer with London's Metropolitan Police for 30 years, with over half of that time spent as a Scotland Yard detective. Steven provides consultancy to film, TV, and documentary makers, and runs a YouTube channel, Murder Academy, providing walk-through videos on a wide range of criminal topics.

Applying modern-day investigative approaches to the 19th century investigation, and with ground-breaking insight from one of the UK's leading criminal profilers, Pippa Gregory, join Steven on a gruesome and incredible journey of discovery into one of the most infamous crimes in British history. London, 1888, and one-man's brutal campaign of violence has taken the lives of unsuspecting victims, cut London to the core and carved his name into history. If Polly Nicholls, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly had not fallen to his knife, their names would have been lost to history. Detective Inspector Steve Keogh’s decorated 30-year career in the Metropolitan Police started in 1991- he spent most of it as a detective before finishing as a Senior Investigating Officer.

Whomever this man was, remains a mystery but there are few people who haven't heard of his nickname: Jack the Ripper.

But if those crimes had happened today, how would they be investigated and how would the approach differ? In 2009 he joined New Scotland Yard’s Murder Investigation Team where he remained for 12 years, building up a vast knowledge of what it takes to catch killers and bring them to justice.

He regularly appears on true crime TV shows and podcasts, and provides freelance consultancy to film, TV, documentary makers and news outlets, helping to make our favourite police procedurals as close to the real thing as possible.
