37 year old nurse Lisa Skidmore wasn’t feeling very well so didn't go to work and stayed home.
Lisa’s mum Margaret decided to head to Lisa’s house on her way to the shops to see how she was as they lived very close to each other. She let herself into Lisa house just like she has so many times before on this ordinary day. But there was nothing ordinary about this day.
Not long before, 55 year old Leroy Campbell had climbed into Lisa’s first floor bedroom using a ladder. Unbeknown to Lisa, three days earlier whilst wandering the local area, looking for someone to attack, he had clocked that Lisa lived alone and had identified her as someone he would attack.

Empathy ++
You are truly amazing I love your compassionate stories and how sad and well you tell your empathetic tales how sad humans are !
interested in true crime…
and am interested in the u.k., (NOT the royal family) but this guy thinks he’s clever, cute and funny…sadly, he’s none of these things…i thought we had all the idiots here in the u.s….i was wrong…you have this guy…
I like it, but.
Taking a break from this one. I’m not a big fan of listening to victim statements. They are personal accounts that were written for the judge and jury. I’d be devastated if a podcaster published my vs verbatim. I don’t need to listen to all that very private, distressed info. I also struggle at times with with the host’s accent. This is not a blame, it’s just a lot of work. This is my problem.
