The mother of ‘s oldest child fears the upcoming drama will only ‘glorify his crimes’.

Caroline Dodd, 43, said the steroid guzzling maniac would have relished the spotlight falling on his evil crimes.

His reign of terror will be shown in any ITV drama that starts tonight.

Mrs Dodd reveals she and daughter Katelaine Fitzpatrick, 24, was taken into hiding while the crazed bodybuilder was on his rampage.

She said: ‘This series will throw Raoul Moat back into the limelight and glorify his crime.

‘He would have loved it.He doesn’t deserve that, or the admiration that comes with it.

‘He was referred to as a ‘hero’ at the time and this will bring that back.’

Moat became Britain’s most wanted fugitive after he went on the run for seven days before taking his own life in a stand-off with armed police in July 2010.

He had murdered Christopher Brown, 29, who was dating Moat’s ex-partner Samantha Stobbart who he also shot and wounded in the street in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.

The former nightclub bouncer then shot and blinded PC David Rathband.

Moat, 37, threatened to target more police officers after launching into his murderous rampage following his release from prison.

Pc Rathband tragically took his own life two years later aged 44.

Earlier this week former detective chief superintendent Neil Adamson, the ex-head of Northumbria CID, said the gunman was ‘a controlling and deranged misogynistic bully’.

He condemned the support he received from some 30,000 people who liked a Facebook page named ‘RIP Raoul Moat You Legend’. 

Mrs Dodd added to the Sun: ‘He should never be seen as a role model.He was a narcissist and a bully.

‘He has always been violent, scary and aggressive. He was abusive to me and many other partners.’

While in prison, his girlfriend Samantha Stobbart, 15 years his junior and mother to his daughter Chanel, told him that she had a new partner, a 29-year-old karate instructor named Chris Brown. Knowing Moat has a violent temper, Samantha tries to protect them by saying Brown is a policeman.

Moat writes on Facebook: ‘Gonna lose my home and lost my Mrs of nearly 6 years to a copper.Like they haven’t f****d my life enough over the years. I’ve lost everything… watch and see what happens.’

Sunday, July 4, 12.30am

Moat is in his car, a black Lexus, with a second accomplice, Qhuram Awan. Moat dials 999 and says to the call handler that he didn’t mean to kill Samantha, adding: ‘You’ll get your chance to kill us, right, you’ll get your chance to kill us.’ The handler replies: ‘We don’t want to do that.’

Moat replies: ‘Aye, yous wanted me to kill myself but I’m gonna give yous a chance cos I’m hunting for officers now, right?’

At a roundabout at East Denton, near Newcastle, motor patrol officer PC David Rathband, 42, is parked up on the pavement.It has been an incident-free night and he’s about to drive back to the station, when there is a metallic tap on the passenger window.

Rathband looks up and instantly recognises Raoul Moat.

In March 2009 he’d interviewed him under caution in the back of his police car for driving a van that was uninsured to carry scrap metal.Rathband had taken an instant dislike to him and now he was pointing a shotgun at him.

Rathband recalled: ‘I looked into his eyes, a focus of ice-cold white, from which any warmth had long since passed. There was a white flash of light from the barrel and that was the last thing I saw.’

Moat shoots him right between the eyes and he slumps into the footwell.Moat waits and watches to see if he’s dead. PC Rathband can hear his blood splashing on the dashboard and then the sound of the gun reloading, so instinctively puts his left arm up to protect himself.

Moat fires once more but, still conscious, Rathband decides to play dead, knowing that if he moves his attacker will finish him off.Moat walks away.

Singh said later: ‘When I saw the gun I was frightened and took a couple of steps back. Then he asked again, ‘Give us the money’, and I opened the till and took out the notes l and handed it over.It was about £100.’

It will be two days before the police conclude that the robber was definitely Moat.

5pm

Samantha Stobbart is no longer in a critical condition and makes an appeal to Moat: ‘Please give yourself up.

In the small town of Rothbury, 30 miles north of Newcastle, a Mrs Wilson calls the police saying that the previous evening she saw a black Lexus parked on the east side of the town.

The police immediately advise residents to stay indoors.A spokesman says: ‘People will see armed officers on the streets. This is a precautionary measure to protect and reassure them.’

The police find a tent and inside an eight-page letter addressed to Samantha in which Moat reasserts his belief that Chris Brown was a police officer.A TV news crew tramples over the site and many clues are lost.

A criminologist writing in this morning’s Daily Mail says: ‘Negotiation is a possibility, but there is also the likelihood that Moat is deliberately trying to engineer the scenario known in America as ‘suicide by cop’, whereby a gunman provokes a situation where the police have no alternative but to shoot him dead.’

10am

In an interview with a local paper, Samantha’s father Paul begs Moat to hand himself in: ‘Raoul, son, please this has to stop.It’s gone on far too long. What sort of memories are these that the kids will have of their father. We don’t want anyone else hurt, nee more son.’

Police offer a £10,000 reward for information which leads to Moat’s capture.

It has now become the largest manhunt in modern British history.

Thursday, July 8, 8am

Moat’s mother Josephine Healey has given an interview to a national newspaper in which she says: ‘I feel like he hasn’t been my son since he was 19 years old.

‘He now has a totally different character, attitude and manner.I don’t recognise him at all. If I was to make an appeal I would say he would be better dead.’

9am

The police find a makeshift campsite used by Moat and in it a dictaphone and three tapes containing a four-hour message.In a long, rambling justification for his actions is a new threat.

‘For each lie I see in the paper, any paper, I’m going to kill an innocent member of the public.’

11am

Survival expert and TV star Ray Mears is in a meeting with his publisher when his phone rings.It’s Chief Inspector Phil Thomas, a police search adviser who Ray has worked with before, asking for his help in tracking down Moat.

Ray promises to be on the scene tonight and asks for the media not to be told that he’s going to be involved.He doesn’t want the publicity, or for Moat to know he’s tracking him. There has been some reluctance among the police top brass about using an unarmed civilian for the search, until Northumbria Police’s Deputy Chief Constable Jim Campbell decided they needed him urgently.

1pm

Concerned by the threat recorded by Moat on the dictaphone, Sue Sim says he is now considered a danger to the public.

A letter is sent to news organisations by the police saying that ‘the rules have changed and Moat is getting angrier’ and they urge them not to report any more details about his private life.

CCTV images of Moat, with a distinctive Mohican-style haircut in a Newcastle shop on Friday, are released by police.

A ‘get well’ card for Samantha from Moat is delivered to Gateshead hospital.On the front is a cartoon monkey with a thermometer in its mouth and the caption: ‘You’re in hospital but luckily the doctors say you’ll be normal in no time! Well that’ll be a first.’

Moat had written at the bottom: ‘No joke intended.Get well soon. Raoul.’ Samantha said: ‘The card was sick. It scared me that he knew where I was. There was an armed guard outside my room, but I was terrified he’d come after me.’

6.30pm

A public meeting is held in Rothbury as police urge people to be vigilant and they agree to station officers outside schools in the town to reassure locals.

11.30pm

Ray Mears has arrived in Rothbury and EvDEN Eve nAkLiyat is taken to the police station. He’s stunned by the scale of the police hunt with searchlights ‘turning night into day’.

As Mears is given an update by police, he makes notes on the back of an envelope.

He is convinced that Moat is using the banks of the River Coquet that runs through the Cragside Estate to move around at night without a torch.Mears wrote later: ‘I was hungry to go head-to-head. This wasn’t Man vs. Wild, or even Man vs. Man; this was my world and Moat had come crashing into it, so the balance was uneven.’

Friday, July 9, 8am

Mears arrives at a car park on the edge of the Cragside Estate escorted by nine Met Police firearms officers and is wearing their black overalls, body armour, helmet and ballistic goggles.
