The Price Of Obsession : Episode 515

Peter Lee was a respected businessman who had built one of the North East's largest bus companies - looking in from the outside, he had it all. But behind the scenes, he was secretly stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds from his own business to fund an obsession with a London sex worker.

As the deception grew, so did the consequences. What began as a fantasy would eventually lead to criminal charges, a prison sentence, the collapse of his company and the loss of hundreds of jobs. In this episode, I examine the extraordinary rise and fall of Peter Lee, and how one man's obsession destroyed everything he had worked to build.

I will be back with a bonus episode of the UK True Crime Podcast on Sunday when I chat to the legendary Forensic Pathologist, Dr Richard Shepherd - please join me for that and then the next regular episode on Tuesday.
