Episode 101: Amber Gibson

Video Podcast - https://youtu.be/tkzX0mCDPMw

This week Emma tells us the story of Amber Gibson, a 16-year-old girl who was killed in November 2021.
Emma talks of the traumatic experiences Amber had already been through in her young life, and the resilience of her character that she was still described as “most giving, loving, supportive and admirable".
We hear about the night Amber disappeared and the search that eventually led to her body being discovered, as well as further unspeakable acts that were carried out after her death.
Emma goes on to describe the events of the trial, which only concluded recently, and the aftermath in which it will be determined if lessons can be learned to prevent further harm to other vulnerable young people.
