Today's episode was originally a premium-only release, meaning it was only available for our

paying subscribers. Given that we never intended to keep premium episodes behind a permanent paywall,

these remaining episodes are now being released to all listeners as part of our Case File Archives

series to mark our 10-year anniversary. If you're interested in supporting

the show, you can still find our subscriber channels on Patreon, Apple Podcasts or Spotify. However,

please note that moving forward we will no longer be producing premium-only episodes. Paid

subscribers will continue to receive new Case file episodes one week early and ad-free,

as well as episodes of Behind the Files, where the case file team answers your questions

and discusses the recent cases we have covered.

As always, I'd like to offer a huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has listened and supported the show over the years, especially our Patreon and premium subscribers.

We appreciate each and every one of you.

We appreciate each and often distressing incidents.

If you feel at any time you need support, please contact your local crisis centre.

For suggested phone numbers for confidential support and for a more detailed list of content warnings, please see the show notes for this episode on your app or on our website.
