Episode 38: Helen Kane. This week Emma brings us the unsolved case of Helen Kane, a mother of four, who was killed as she made her way home from an anniversary celebration.
Emma talks through the inadequate evidence gathering practices of the 1970's and the difficulties this causes in attempting to solve this case 50 years later, and also discusses the notorious serial killers whose names show up in the course of the investigation.
