03.03.2022 - By The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast
A truly horrific tale comes this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, as we are off back to 2015 and to the West Midlands town of Walsall, to hear of a trusting, vulnerable young woman who did nothing except see the good in the world.
Sadly, for all the good that there is - there is evil also. And sometimes, that evil may come from somewhere you feel safe, and from someone you trust.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature and details of injury description, involving a vulnerable person, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
