Incredible Story

A great true crime story which had me hooked. Keith Morrison, as always, provides a compelling narration.

Could have been delivered in 2 episodes.

Bit of an anti climax. Tragic story that once again handled by incompetent police.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awful to listen to the details - impossible to stop listening. Incredibly sad, but hugely riveting. A must-listen series.
