Hello, I'm Chloe Hajimuthau. I'm a narrative editor at The Observer and the host of the Tortus Investigates podcast, Lucky Boy.

I'm popping up here to say thank you all for continuing to listen and to support Tortus Investigates from the Observer.

If you like what you've heard already, the good news is there are more Obs observer podcasts that you may not know about yet.

There's the news meeting where tortoise journalists and special guests battle it out to see

whose story will lead the news. The sense maker, one story every weekday to make sense of the

world. And the slow newscast, a weekly investigation into a story

we think you should know about. We're proud to bring you our journalism in audio. So make sure you

follow all our shows so you don't miss a single observer podcast episode. Hello, it's Rachel here.

I'm the reporter on The Lab detective. Thank you for listening.

If you're enjoying this podcast, you can listen to all episodes today by subscribing to the

Observer Plus on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or by downloading the Tortus app. And you can listen to

our previous investigations right here on Tortus Investigates from The Observer.

Do you remember the moment the police knocked on the door?

I'd been, you know, pottering in the house just cleaning.

And the detective knocked on the door and as soon as I saw her, my face just just dropped.

You've got to be, you're not serious here.

When Kathleen Falbig opens her front door and finds a police officer standing in front of her,

she has a reaction, I suspect, a lot of us would.

There's a creeping anxiety as she tries to figure out why this man has turned up at her home.

It's quite confronting.

It was sort of like, you know, good grief, something's going horribly wrong here.
