There are some stories that stay with us—not because of how they end, but because of who is lost. Grace Millane was a young woman with a future, a plan, and a warm spirit that took her across the world. She was exploring new places and doing what so many young people dream of doing—exploring life on her own terms. But Grace’s journey took a devastating and unimaginable turn.

Join us for CCTV, Lies, & Murder: Grace Millane. What should have been a celebration of Grace’s 22nd birthday became a tragedy. This podcast isn’t just about a crime but about the life behind the headlines. It’s about Grace: her kindness, her courage, her hopes, and the world she was eager to explore. Together, we’ll examine her final days, the investigation that followed, and reflect on the impact her loss left on all who knew her. Because Grace deserves to be remembered not for what happened to her, but for who she was.
