    Always a dodgey situation to be with strangers, double dodgey to do it in Glasgow they play by there own rules there. Seriously though if you’ve never had to meet someone in a dark lane in the middle of the night, for illicit reasons. It makes the adrenaline flow that’s for sure. The 90’s were crazy days. Great episode Ben these stories deserve to be spoken about. Different scenarios but meeting moody strangers is not recommended by me stick to the straight and narrow it’s the only way forward

    Another fascinating video. You sounded almost apologetic. "It was a bit of a long
    one today". I could listen to you all day long, given the subject
    matter and the detail you go into. Please, keep 'em coming. The longer, the
    better, as far as I'm concerned! Great stuff.

      The jellies and valium had alot to do with it back then aswell,mixed with drink,it was a deadly combination. I knew many people who done lifers from then,andba few people.that had been murdered because of them. I had lifers tell me they woke up in the cop shop not knowing what they had done,until they were told by the Polis.

      First in Scottish Law to be done without a body.
      The guy apparently trusted them and was keen to ged rid of the parcel..Ricardo had a row with Gavin Toye over a woman he ended up on the run at her house ..He was a pain in the arse in prison who stabbed samo 'feed the bear' ralston and then ran away .. he pretended he didnt understand english but knew and recognised "cannabis ...cannabis". He was a master manipulator another one to note was Fransico Torres who was caught adrift with cocaine ..
      Sammo Ralston is a good one to do a video on. So is Stuart Quinn , JH James and stephen nisbet , Garry Smith , Mick Archibald , Billy Lewis , Rab Mcausland , Robie , Mick Roselli . John Bowden from London and Allan Brown

    I remember Ricardo when he first came to Britain, we were in kingswood assessment centre in Bristol together back in 1978, we were best friends in there, and it’s true that he was a lunatic, he was a good kid to have has a friend back then when we were just 15 years old, but the other kids in the place we were at were terrified of him and that’s no bullshit either, he was like myself, he hated bullies and I’ll give him credit for that much at least, I knew the guy from Dartmoor jail that went to Scotland to move the body I’m not gonna name the guy but it’s true.

      He was a bully.He was bullying Y.Os in Greenock and one slashed him for it.Plus the fact if he wasn't,then this murder wouldn't have happened.They killed an innocent guy that was just dropping drugs off,and they took the piss and killed him. Sounds like a bully b@stard to me.

    Great channel E2.0 , enjoying these cases . Most of this one seems to be a bunch of junkies bashing their own and anyone else's stash . the one redeeming factor as far as Blanco is concerned could be leaving out that he told the others , proof of that especially in a murder case would make them accessories after the fact .. Moral of the story don't hang with those you can't handle . mutual respect is essential ... Looking forward to the next .

Yeah rite tell carlito that Benny blanco! But there are a lot of innocent french spanish Bristol napoleon/Franco hitmen called mad Spaniard who travel up to Glasgow for a hit but miss out of loyalty...he must of snorted all that coke he took off carlito if he thinks I'm believing that.!..bet he had his Sunday school "please don't send me to jail for life" look on his boat race aswel 😮 in court No2 at the old Bailey? But that's what sets people like him apart they stone cold. My granny (RIP) had more chance of getting a not guilty on stealing 'PG Tips'🦧from kwik save, yeah she maintained her innocence till her dying day aswell bless her (mad Mary the half siberian half english daughter of a sergeant major in the British army! Why would she steal tea bags? She didn't she just put her umbrella gun to the side of the monkey on the box's head😢ffs) yeah the neapolitan answer to mad frankie Fraserburgh was guilty as my granny 4 'real' even so top drop, good length ep.. (for me) and keep em coming bro, but if you carty on working this much they be calling you 'mad bennie brown from freetown' 😊 Enquirer 2.0 what a channel.

      A body isn't generally a release condition, and it'd be further complicated by there being more than one person convicted.
      Morally, it's a different story, but appealing to the morals of stone cold killers is a non starter.
      Also, even if they were willing to give the victim's family some closure, Fenwick Moor is an awful place to search, as back then there were next to no landmarks - even though it is relatively close to Glasgow, it is very remote.

    Ahh The Bold Ricardo Blanco aka Dickie White (which is the English translation of his name) Ricardo lived 2 doors down from me in the old C/hall Of HMP Glenochil so I actually got to know him! You said he was meant to have been in the French Foreign legion, another lifer who was ex 4/5 commando ie Royal Marine was on a work placement with Ricardo and had seen his paperwork from his time in England, from the age of 15 to the time he was lifed off in Scotland Ricardo appeared in court basically every year till then on one crime or another! Also when the former Royal Marine questioned him on military matters he was clueless as what he was on about, the bold Ricardo was telling porky pies about his military service in the French Foreign Legion, mind you he's not the only prisoner to get caught out on claiming to ex special forces in prison and some even went as far as sporting the tattoos of said regiments to back up there claims but when genuine former Marines or parachute regiment start to question them they are soon found out. . .
