This tale is full of strange twists and unexpected turns, and whilst some aspects of the case are considered officially solved, there are still plenty of mysterious details that will stick with you for a long time after listening to this episode… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!
