The Armchair Detective YouTube channel gets well over 7 million watch-minutes a month and over 500,000 views.

Alan was born in Devon, UK and recalls his early shock and fascination with cases like Fred & Rosemary West and the bigger American cases, like the Green River Killer, Ted Bundy and others held his endless curiosity.

After a decade of carefully examining the Madeleine McCann mystery, Alan began investigating his findings on Facebook live, which led to the birth of his YouTube channel, "Armchair Detective, No Hiding Place". Alan also held a successful show at the Winter Gardens Theatre in Weston Super Mare, focusing on the McCann case, alongside a mate from Scotland Yard.

It wasn't long before the case of Chris Watts in Colorado became prevalent and caught AD's attention in August of 2018. He felt compelled to ask questions and search for the answers. He painstakingly dissected every aspect of the Watts case. AD saw “the shadows” under the truck and premiered a video on YouTube in January 2019 that garnered international interest, with over 270,000 views.

The Armchair Detective has extensively studied the Watts case and as well as many others over the past two years on YouTube. With a burning desire to find answers, seek justice and give a voice to the voiceless, Alan is truly doing exactly what he loves to do!

Quick-witted, sharp and perceptive, Alan usually puts on two shows a day for his dedicated fans and subs. AD is also naturally affable and very entertaining. A former local radio personality and regular bit-part actor, he eventually parlayed his personality into hospitality, after a few years of touring 40 countries on an international poker circuit, where his highest world ranking was #11.

Now a family man, residing in Bristol, AD is a father to three and a grandfather of two. And, a true-crime addict whose specialty is the Chris Watts case.

Love him or hate him, they tune in either way,

Every day, to watch the Armchair Detective!
