Hey, it's me Ashley James from the podcast Mums the Word. I'm here to tell you today about the NHS Winter Vaccinations campaign. If you're pregnant, flu and COVID-19 can cause serious harm.

To you and your baby. That's why you're eligible for a COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine because they are the best protection against these winter viruses. Remember you can get your vaccines at any stage of your pregnancy.

Protection provided by COVID-19 vaccines decreases over time and flu viruses can change every year. Flu can also be horrible for young children.

That's why children aged 2 and 3 before September 2022 are eligible for a free flu nasal spray vaccine. Find out how to book at NHS.uk forward slash winter vaccinations. Get boosted, get protected.

The hairs on my arm are standing up right now. This is a dangerous guy. You covet what you see. I think he's wanting more than just to watch.

That's terrifying. This could have been so bad.

Hi there, I'm Yardley. I'm Dan. I'm Dave. And I'm Paul. And this is Small Town Gicks.

Dave and I are identical twins and retired detectives from Small Town USA. And I'm a veteran cold case investigator who helped catch the Golden State Killer using a revolutionary DNA tool.

Between the three of us, we've investigated thousands of crimes from petty theft to sexual assault, child abuse to murder. Each case we cover is told by the detective who investigated it, offering a rare personal account of how they saw the crime.

Names, places, and certain details have been changed to protect the privacy of victims and their families.

And although we're aware that some of our listeners may be familiar with these cases, we ask you to please join us in continuing to protect the true identities of those involved out of respect for what they've been through.

Thank you.

Today on Small Town Dicks, we have the usual suspects. We have Detective Dan.

Hello. Hello. Hello, you. We have Detective Dave. Hello. Happy to be here. Happy to have you. And we have the one and only Paul's.

Hey, everybody. Hey, small town fan. We all seated around the same table. This is always a very special day, especially for me.

All right. So today we have a case from our very own detective Dave. Tell us how this case came to you.

This case occurred when I was a sex crimes and child abuse detective. I'd been a detective probably for about maybe a year.

This call came in around two in the afternoon. It was a weekday, so all the detectives were working that day.
