About This Episode
Adam Lloyd turns his focus to identity theft
On May 11, 2026, UK True Crime Podcast released episode 508, titled The Man Who Stole Identities. In the 28-minute episode, host Adam Lloyd examines the case of Elliot Castro, described as one of Britain's most notorious identity thieves. Using his trademark well-researched approach, Lloyd walks listeners through the case and explains the mechanisms that allowed Castro to operate as an identity thief over what appears to have been a period spanning several years.
identity theft is a crime that affects far more victims than the headline numbers suggest. Behind every stolen identity is a real person whose finances, credit rating, and personal life can suffer lasting damage. UK True Crime Podcast has covered similar cases before, and Castro's story fits squarely within the podcast's focus on crimes with far-reaching consequences for ordinary people.
