Great work by Ben and team to get some answers for the Bradshaw family.
One episode may have ruined it for me

The episode where the 60 minutes producer basically outs Jeff for seeing “multiple men” in toilet cubicles made me feel extremely ill, considering it literally makes no difference to his innocence or guilt. I loved this podcast until I heard that. Now every following episode I can’t shake that distasteful feeling. Great deep dive, and I believe his sexuality may be a possibility for any reasoning behind her murder, but again. It made no difference to the case - why mention it. Such a shame.
Hack Journalist who wishes he was Hedley Thomas

Absolute rubbish from a hack “journalist” with blinders on who bullies the one interviewee who doesn’t tally with his version of events. Yes the case warrants a more thorough investigation. But not by this idiot.
Keep going…

Devastating that this is the first I have heard of this case. I followed The Teacher’s Pet from its debut to the killer’s conviction - incredible what people can get away with when we turn a blind eye to injustice. Keep fighting that good fight. Podcast justice may not be optimal but thank god we have our voices to hold those with the power to make real change to account. Rest in peace Annie, I’m sorry this happened to you and your family. Love to the Bradshaws.
