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.
Please be kind….

I had no knowledge of this case but it clearly stereotyped the husband because of his sexuality. Not saying there wasn’t room for improvement in the investigation but the journalists and the sad family clearly were only interested in pursuing the husband.
