S7 Ep8: The April That Changed Abigail - Part 2

This episode brings the second and concluding part of the story of Abigail Witchalls on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where this time around we shall hear the reasons that by November 2005, Surrey Police had declared the case closed.

Except that there had been no arrests, no charges brought, and no trial. How so?

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving details of injury description, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
