    Available now: The Truth About Amy Season 2

    The first season was about proving Amy couldn’t have pulled the trigger despite the Coroner in 2021 delivering an open finding. This led to WAPOL reopening the investigation and updating the brief of evidence for the Director of Public Prosecutions to consider. We’ve had a massive response from the public (see comments on Apple podcasts) who are passionate about the Truth About Amy being realised and somebody being held accountable for her death. And now more people involved in the investigation of Amy Wensley have come forward saying that they knew she didn’t kill herself from the start, but were, in some cases, shouted down – literally. So now the family is concerned, and rightly so, that there are still people in power, with enough sway, to prevent justice in Amy’s case from being realised. We owe it to Amy’s family, along with every other family whose investigation into their loved one’s death has been botched, to see this through. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
