Hey, it's Nancy. Before we begin today, I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Crime Beat early and add free on Amazon music included with Prime.

Hmm, Mr. Thing loves winter. Fluffy slippers, hot chalk, the heating on. Uh-oh, that didn't sound good. Looks like the boilers packed in.

Thankfully, Mr. Thing has British Gas Home Care cover, which means unlimited repairs for his boiler, heating, electrics and more. So he's covered for whatever winter throws at him. And right now it's 50% off for the first six months. Search British Gas Home Care, one of the ways we're taking care of things. Teas and C supply, no claims within the first 14 days, ends 1st of December, new customers only,

remaining six months at full price.

I'm Nancy Hixed, a senior crime reporter for Global News, and I've been a journalist for almost 30 years.

In that time, I've been lucky enough to work with some amazing journalists that, like me,

shine a light in dark places and give voice to the voiceless.

We work hard to follow cases from beginning to end, which is what I'm doing right now.

I'm working hard on the next season of Crime Beat.

But you've told me over and over that you want more stories.

So until our next season is ready to go, we have a special series of Crime Beat for you.

I'll be joined by one of my colleagues from the Crime Beat TV documentary series.

In each episode, you'll ride along with Catherine McDonald, as she takes

you deep inside the cases she's worked on. And of course, you'll hear from the families of the

victims, investigators, lawyers, loved ones, and witnesses. Please join us for these special

episodes in November by following Crime Beat on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
