Summary

Laura and Anna discuss the statements made at the coroner’s inquiry regarding Amy, the officers who were dismissed and told to classify Amy’s case as ‘non-suspicious,’ and Professor Tim Ackland’s findings following his biomechanical analysis of the case. In this episode, Laura interviews Anna regarding the initial stages of Amy’s relationship with David Simmons and discusses key warning signs that are frequently disregarded. Anna shares new evidence she obtained which proves Amy was planning a new life without Simmons and that he would be the subject of a significant insurance claim after he crashed the car with Amy in it, leading to significant injuries.  Please listen carefully and provide Laura with your thoughts about what happened to Amy, and please consider taking action on Any’s behalf.
