Summary

Hey Guys! We’re going back to the UK today, and we’re gonna be covering the story of Tracie Andrews, and wow she is just the worst!

This case is pretty infamous in the UK, it got a lot of media coverage because what Tracie did was just so shocking. And this case is particularly weird for me, because it also takes place in Birmingham which is where I happen to be from! This is the first case I’ve covered where I know a lot of the locations mentioned really well, so it’s just weird being able to imagine exactly where all this took place.

I’m still struggling to understand exactly why Tracie did what she did, even researching this case for quite a while, there just doesn’t seem to be a satisfactory explanation.

Hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for listening xoxo
