Blood Relatives

The New Yorker In The Dark

2025

In The Dark is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative podcast by The New Yorker.

In their 6-part Blood Relatives series (2025), they take up the story of an infamous UK killing on 7 August 1985.

5 family members were shot dead in their Whitehouse Farm home in Tolleshunt D’arcy, Essex.

Jeremy Bamber was convicted of the mass murder & is serving a life sentence.

The victims were Jeremy Bamber’s adoptive parents, Nevill & June Bamber, along with his adoptive sister, Sheila Caffell & Sheila’s 6-year-old twin sons.

Journalist Heide Blake says that even though the case looks like a straight-forward one, “almost nothing about this story is as it seems”.

Trauma warning: This archive contains material relating to care experience including references to abuse, neglect, sexual violence, and institutional harm.

 

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
