S7 Ep30: The Lost Boys: Part 8 - The Aftermath

The Lost Boys series arc comes to a close this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, looking at developments that have happened concerning the events mentioned within the arc over the subsequent years, right up to the present day.

It's also time for me to vent, too. 

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving children, involving injury detail, and involving descriptions of a sexual nature involving children, that some listeners may find offensive, disturbing, and or very highly distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
