Summary
Overview
In this episode, Carol and Hannah explore new revelations about Kin's true identity and whereabouts. Producers Georgia and Rob visit a Surrey town where they discover Kin is known by the name 'David' and lives in a surprisingly modest, shabby house - a stark contrast to the luxury properties and international jet-setter lifestyle he portrayed. The episode also features powerful messages from listeners sharing their own stalking experiences, highlighting how widespread and devastating this issue is. The investigation reaches a frustrating conclusion as legal advice prevents them from confronting Kin directly, but Hannah finds empowerment through sharing her story publicly.
Discovering David: Kin's Double Life in Surrey
Producers Georgia and Rob travel to a quiet commuter town in Surrey where they uncover that Kin is known locally by the name David. While it's common for people from Hong Kong to adopt Western names, the descriptions of David's lifestyle - reclusive, quiet, avoiding contact - are dramatically different from the flashy international persona Kin presented to Hannah. They learn he sometimes jogs through town and is occasionally seen with a woman believed to be his long-term partner.
- In the Surrey town where Kin's old companies were based, people know him by the name David
- Staff at a shared office space received strange calls from someone saying not to accept post for Kin
- David is described as quiet and reclusive, actively avoiding conversation with people
- He's sometimes seen jogging, occasionally accompanied by a woman identified as his long-term partner
" People knew him by David. "
The Shabby House: Reality vs. Fantasy
When Georgia and Rob locate Kin's actual residence, they find a stark contrast to the multi-million pound properties he shared with Hannah. Instead of the executive mansion with pools and tennis courts they expected, they discover a small, decrepit 1960s brick house with drawn curtains, moss on the roof, and an unkempt appearance. Despite the modest home, locals report seeing him drive expensive, possibly hired cars - another layer to his carefully constructed facade.
- Kin sent Hannah images of multi-million pound properties including a £17 million castle
- His actual house is a small, shabby brick-built 1960s housing estate home with drawn curtains and moss on the roof
- The house looks decrepit and hasn't been maintained, contrasting sharply with neighboring properties
- Despite the modest home, he's spotted driving different expensive cars, believed to be hired
" It just looks really decrepit. Everybody else has got their, like, pin meat lawns, nice plants and freshly painted garage doors and everything, haven't they? Yeah. And then go back to Kin, and it's got that sort of really closed-up, shuttered look, hasn't it? "
