Caroline Robinson - Jimmy Savile Victim
Sep 4, 2022
In the 1970s in the UK, there can be few names which were as synonymous with childrens television than Jimmy Savile. Savile same to fame via Radio Luxembourg and Tyne Tees Television, eventually appearing on the BBC radio and television networks. He was lauded by politicians and other celebrities for his ‘tireless’ charity work, but beneath the veneer of an eccentric show business DJ and philanthropist, lay a vicious and depraved pervert. Something which only came to wider public attention after his death.
Ed’s guest is Caroline Robinson, great niece to Savile. She tells how it was known what Savile was in the family, and she herself was victim to the abuse Savile dished out to others. Unlike others, though, Ms Robinson’s silence was bought by both Savile lavishing gifts and support on her and the wish not to have the association to someone so famous suddenly removed from her family. ‘It made me proud to tell others my Great Uncle was Jimmy Savile’ she said.
Following Savile’s passing in 2011, a sleuth of accusers – many unknown to each other – surfaced. Savile had allegedly sexually abused children in theatres, cars, private homes, BBC dressing rooms and almost no area was safe for him to be left alone with a child of either sex. His access to places like Broadmoor and Stoke Mandeville Hospital also gave suspicion that Savile may have abused patients and there is some evidence to suggest Savile indulged in necrophilia.
The legacy of filth lives on; did the BBC mandarins know about Savile? Was his presentation from a distant studio in Manchester a move to make staff feel safer whilst not acknowledging complicity?
This interview is about family. It’s about having a secret; but it’s also about how a slick, protected paedophile fooled a nation, how he betrayed parents, abused vulnerable and/or impressionable children and adults and how he was in plain sight all the time.

Thomas Sheridan - Jimmy Savile, 666 and the satanic cults
May 25, 2023
When English broadcaster and self-styled philanthropist Jimmy Savile died in 2011, many lauded his achievements and his contribution across the decades.
But it was short lived. Soon, the truth about Savile was leaking out like soup through a sieve. Savile was revealed through victim statements and other evidence to be a rapist, paedophile and sexual deviant on a level almost unseen in British society.
Savile had access to hospital patients, morgues, radio studios, peoples homes. There was literally nowhere and no one he would not do his filthy deeds, secure in the knowledge he was protected by a Prime Minister who twice tried to knight him. Indeed, Thatcher was a personal friend of Savile, such was his ingratiation with the establishment.
But it could not have been just his contacts which kept him away from exposure; it was the (although strenously denied) complicity of associates and broadcasting networks who capitalised on his fund raising and good guy image; it was the friends in high places with similar tastes who stood in the way of justice. And it may well have been even darker powers were at work; powers we can only conjecture even exist.
With the death this week of Rolf Harris, a man who worked in the same area of entertainment as Savile with the same tastes for young flesh, we thought it would be a good idea to look back at Savile and examine the evidence again.
This archive show, with researcher Thomas Sheridan, is probably one of the best on the subject.
For want of a better word, 'enjoy'.

Angie Solomon joins Ed Opperman to talk about a mysterious death - the death of her son, Grant. The circumstances have never been fully explained.
On July 20, 2020, Grant Solomon was tragically killed in a still unexplained incident in Gallatin, Tennessee.
His father, with whom he had a volatile relationship, was the only witness. Aaron Solomon claims he saw Grant exit the truck, but then looked away, and the next thing he sees is the truck rolling into the ditch. Neither evidence at the scene nor Grant's injuries match the account Aaron gave GPD, who took his word for it and closed the case.
To add insult to injury, Grant's family have accused a Tennessee funeral home of breaking his ankles and discarding the clothes he was wearing on the day of the crash.
Grant's mother, Angie Solomon, said she saw her son's feet were contorted during a private family viewing at Williamson Memorial Funeral Home after asking for the lower portion of his mahogany-colored casket to be opened.
She said she 'almost fainted' when she looked inside. Hospital records show his ankles had been uninjured in the crash.

Jeffrey L. Rinek - In the Name of the Children
Jun 18, 2023
Ed's guest is former FBI agent Jeff Rinek who has written a book called 'In The Name Of The Children'
During his 30-year career with the FBI, Jeff Rinek worked hundreds of investigations involving crimes against children: from stranger abduction to serial homicide to ritualized sexual abuse. Those who do this kind of work are required to plumb the depths of human depravity, to see things no one should ever have to see - and once seen can never forget. There is no more important - or more brutal - job in law enforcement, and few have been more successful than Rinek at solving these sort of cases.
Most famously, Rinek got Cary Stayner to confess to all four of the killings known as the Yosemite Park Murders, an accomplishment made more extraordinary by the fact that the FBI nearly pinned the crimes on the wrong suspects. Rinek's recounting of the confession and what he learned about Stayner provides perhaps the most revelatory look ever inside the psyche of a serial killer and a privileged glimpse into the art of interrogation.
Jeff gives valuable insight into the case and consequences for the victims, perpetrators and investigators.
