And finally brand new from the UK…
Eileen from CrimeLapse and Emily from Morbidology are launching a new podcast The Shattered Window on the 23rd of November.
Over three decades ago, a 7-year-old girl vanished from her bedroom in the middle of the night while everybody else was soundly asleep. For a parent knowing that someone could sneak into their child's bedroom completely undetected is a thought that you would never want to cross your mind, let alone have it happen and it's even more terrifying for a parent to think that they could be suspected. This investigative true crime podcast series dissects a case that has puzzled the minds of those who know it and those that have tried to solve it. Compiled using thousands of pages of files, trial transcripts and archives as well as interviews with those involved and source audio, this is The Shattered Window.
If any of these podcasts are your new found favourites, you can meet them on Podcast Row at CrimeCon UKin London, Spring 2021.
