Here on Stollen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children.

Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.

I do try my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories

and leave out unnecessary details that honestly, none of us need to know to understand the

frustration of why and how this ever happened.

However, if you find any of these themes triggering this podcast may not be for you.

Listener discretion is advised.

This week's story is a listener suggestion.

Thank you to Ellie for bringing Willow's story to my attention, as well as so many others who have suggested Willow's story.

But Ellie was the first.

Because I really wanted 100% of the focus to be on the children.

But I almost felt like I need to apologise to Ellie and

everyone else who suggested I cover what happened to Willow. This is a story that is important to me,

and I held off covering Willow's story far too long. I just wanted to make sure I was giving

this story the attention it deserved, and to put the time into the research and preparation it

deserves. I'm also going to take this time to say, every suggestion I get means the world

to me, but I do get a lot, I would say at least three or four every day. And to this podcast,

while it's not exactly a one-person show, my family are incredible with their

support. But I'm the only one who is involved from start to finish these days. Each of these

stories takes time, around 40 hours from start to finish, and I also have my day job. Please

keep that in mind with your suggestions, and any delay my releasing an episode on your suggestion.

Now I've rambled on enough. Let's go to this week's story. May 2020, Brisbane, Australia.
