Introduction
CrimeCon UK presented the inaugural event of ‘True’ Crime Awards in June 2023. Their website leads with:-
“whether it is documentaries, podcasts, books or dramas, the rise in popularity of true crime has been exponential.”
This homepage overview is accompanied by a three minute promotional video which is very ‘Black Mirror’ in my opinion, by which I refer to the television series mostly set in near-future dystopias, some of the episodes of which can be considered a prescient warning.
Actors Peter Faulding and Laura Richards attended the 2024 True Crime Awards hosted at the five-star Hilton London Bankside hotel on Thurs 25th April. Of course they did!
They are laughing at us! 🎭
As well as this dynamic duo, among the entertainment showbiz glitz, other shortlisted nominees for award categories included:-
Vanished: The Search for Britain's Missing - ITN Productions for Channel 5
{for » On Screen: Impact for Change}
&
The Storyteller: Naked Villainy - Isla Traquair
{for » Podcast: Most Captivating Host}
Peter Faulding was shortlisted for best author with his book ‘What Lies Beneath’ which as a reminder was originally published less than a week before he arrived to perform his scripted act on location in St. Michaels-on-Wyre during Feb 2023. Show people your telemetry!
Going one better, archdeceiver and actor Laura Richards in this flourishing new form of entertainment for the masses won an award in her category. Not to be outdone, she was seated next to Isla Traquair - the shill and St. Michaels-on-Wyre regular - who also won an award in the second category she’d been shortlisted as nominee. Ironically, for Podcast: Outstanding Investigative Reporting 🤡.
The unresolved omnishambles surrounding the scripted UK-based Nicola Bulley saga hasn’t put a dampener on their charade as Establishment shills, with audiences having been supplied and distracted by a number of other highly publicised events staged in other countries (notably Australia) in recent months.
It’s a global affair designed to suck in the public with a multi-layered approach to disinformation enabling hired Establishment shills to work their hustle in partnership with a coordinated media offensive.
Deceptions often have clear underlying agendas in addition to the standard con of hooking audiences who are conditioned to require their next fix from the very same media sources and shills sponsored to endlessly mislead. The cycle continues relentlessly, rinse and repeat.
The next high profile UK production must be on the drawing board, but in the meantime many local acts continue to keep audiences receptive. On which note the river theme still has legs, as can be demonstrated by the latest event on location in Oxford that had plenty of potential but never quite delivered.
“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.” [Aldous Huxley]
Oxford versus St. Michaels-on-Wyre (and production budgets)
Let’s consider the difference in response and news coverage for ostensibly similar incidents. A short overview first to allow you to get your bearings.
The following series of tweets dated 10th, 11th, 17th and 22nd April point to an enthusiastic Peter Faulding who as we know attended an awards evening Thurs 25th Apr, only a few hours after this particular story broke.
Last time he was this keen to promote an alleged river-based incident was in February 2024, supposedly for the search of a young boy in a canal that runs through Leicester’s Nature Reserve. A carefully constructed narrative to suck in the public, much of this having been previously discussed in earlier posts.
As this is intended only as a short post (in the interim while awaiting to disclose far more intriguing revelations), one can dispense with details of the narrative that a novice scriptwriter cobbled together and jump straight to the finale of a few days ago.
Though, albeit a substandard script it was an improvement over the Leicester debacle as the first reports only mentioned the police seeking CCTV footage rather than the bolder statement of them having secured CCTV footage (…..from a non-existent camera ACC Michaela Kerr🤦♂️).
Small budget local theatre, only the local Oxford Mail (aka Newsquest) with mainstream BBC played a role this time. It’s unlikely the mighty BBC Verify team were drafted in for such an inconsequential local production, as small beer in the scheme of things.
Relax, sit back, and try to feel the tension mount, as if you were following live updates as the final scene unfolds. Take it slowly🤓
Breaking news (Thurs 25th April : Oxford Mail)

The BBC published the briefest update on the Thursday afternoon during the live feed, with Oxford Mail publishing their summary article that mainly covered what was in the live feed the next morning (on Fri 26th). An article that concluded with:-
“The scene where the body was discovered was quiet on Thursday afternoon with a few people walking in the area but no presence of emergency services.”
THE END🎭
Production budgets
The first hint of any potential incident (anywhere on the internet) was courtesy of a Thames Valley Police website post (shortly before their tweet at 2.00pm that led onto the start of Oxford Mail’s live blog).
To point out that there’s evidently a contrast to the infamous performance staged Sun 19th Feb 2003 in St. Michaels-on-Wyre would be quite the understatement. Both allegedly involve ‘members of the public’, just not Jason Rothwell and his pal presumably.
Helicopters? Drones? Crime Scene Investigators? Police divers? Forensic tent? Coroner’s van? Sky News? ITV? BBC? Local media? Freelance photographers?
I’d wager there also being the absence of a blue ex-CSI van delivering a corpse to a forensic tent, as well as no need for a photo of a forlorn figure in the guise of a senior investigating police officer in attendance to oversee circumstances of this supposedly reported incident. When there’s no-one watching and no audience to play to, there’s no requirement for choreography, much like that first morning Fri 27th Jan 2023 for Nikki Bulley’s staged disappearance.
The great problem with covering news of events that aren’t fabricated is that in the real world the media reporters would be last to the scene and fail to provide meaningful insights beyond what might spread on social media by the public in the moment.
What good is that, as their main role is to have the public be dependent on their news coverage to support the Establishment with ongoing propaganda.
The poor man that features in this production has not even been considered important enough to have been assigned a name. The only comforting thought given they have such little regard for human life is in his fictional status. Not so for Nikki Bulley though, for whom too few when you have a good look around genuinely want the truth and real justice to be done.
Things that make you go “hmmm”
Does this photo below look familiar? Much like the reporter’s photograph for Oxford Mail taken during the afternoon as the live feed was progressing (as above at 2.57pm).
It happens to be a photograph taken by myself at 9.34am (five hours before the reporter ever had the notion that she might be attending the area to take such a shot).
Unsurprisingly, at 9.00am that very morning (no matter it was mid-afternoon when reporters were quote: ‘heading to the scene’) there was zero presence of anything, blatantly no significant incident having occurred. However, undoubtedly it is a stretch of river south of Oxford that lends itself to imagining a find, n’est-ce-pas Peter Faulding?
Which came first: the chicken or the egg?
As to the particular timeline surrounding the near matching photos, there are signs of the synchronicity fairy. Might the Establishment’s script and media coverage have been initiated by the event outside their control, or does intuitive foreknowledge account for it?
A short enjoyable clip from The Matrix for entertainment purposes. When the universe whispers to you, are you listening?
Wrap Up
While a man with a flat cap wasn’t recovered from the River Thames near Oxford on 24/04/2024 which passed mainly unnoticed for want of not happening, it was otherwise a big day for masonic theatre, with the budget and energy used up elsewhere.
Date: 2+4=6, 4+2=6, 2+4=6 - for those with a passing interest in number symbolism.
This creative distraction even came packaged with a subtle tribute to one of their bigger satanic inside jobs, notably the 9/11 attacks/demolitions. For the vast majority, it was of course just another day at the office and probably nothing, in the same way that secret societies or rather not so secret societies are but the wild imaginings of ‘conspiracy theorists.’
Whether there’s any way to reach the pack that are entirely captured and conditioned to blindly believe what’s fed to them on a routine basis is a key question of our times without clear answer. However, any suggestion that doesn’t account for the existence of demonic entities and malevolent forces is always going to be wide of the mark.

Thanks for reading.🙏
👏🏻👏🏻 The deceivers will eventually pay the price.
Keep up good work Chris.
Thank you for your blog.
I’m pleased you haven’t given up.
“in the interim while awaiting to disclose far more intriguing revelations” sounds promising.
I hope you don’t have long to wait.
Why can’t you just type “for entertainment purposes only” at the front of your blog, then you can say whatever you want to 😉😉😉.
Take care.
