**TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of rape and extreme violence**

Friends!

Happy Wednesday!

This week is part two of the murder of Nora Sheehan. In this episode we speak about how advances in DNA allowed for the arrest and conviction of 73 year old Noel Long, only weeks ago.

We hope you have a lovely week!

Case begins at 26:30
