Hi guys, it's Naomi here.

Just a quick announcement before I carry on with this episode.

You might have seen on my social media if you follow me on there, but I now have a true Crime YouTube channel. I'm the producer and the voice

of totally true crime. Each video plays out like a documentary, with real video footage from each

on real but rewritten and adapted for viewing those with real life audio clips but in video form

and some new cases too the most important thing is that the cases will remain victim-centric

with those lost to these crimes at the

forefront. I'd appreciate any support as I try this new venture to see if I can bring these

stories to a new audience. I've linked the channel in the show notes of this episode, and without

trying to sound too much like a young cool YouTuber, please do like and subscribe.

My 10-year-old daughter told me to say that.

Thank you as ever for your deeply appreciated support.
