Natalie McNally was 32 years old, 15 weeks pregnant, and preparing for a future she believed was finally falling into place.
On December 18, 2022, she spent the evening with her family watching the World Cup final before heading home to her house in Silverwood Green. Hours later, she was brutally killed.
Her boyfriend, Stephen McCullagh, seemed like the last person anyone would suspect. He had a public alibi: a six-hour YouTube livestream watched by thousands, showing him at home playing video games, drinking, and joking with viewers.
But something about that stream didn’t sit right.
What started as a seemingly airtight alibi quickly unravelled into a calculated plan involving prerecorded footage, a carefully timed journey, and a web of lies that placed him closer to Natalie than anyone initially believed.
This is the murder of Natalie McNally...a case of control, deception, and a plan that was supposed to be perfect… until it wasn’t.
