The Truth About Amy

A 24 year-old mum tries to escape a violent relationship. She quickly packs the car – her two young daughters are strapped into the back seat. The engine’s running. She heads back inside to get one last thing … and never comes out. From the creators of the groundbreaking murder mystery podcast The Lady Vanishes, this is the story of Amy Wensley. A decade after her death was written off as a suicide, it is now being treated as a homicide and a new investigation is underway. Finally, The Truth About Amy will be revealed.
