S3 E7 What’s the deal with Ketamine?

When she was 20 years old, something terrible happened to Vienna Luke. And for more than a decade, the truth of that night remains buried.

Personally: Agent Layla is a gripping true story about memory, family and how far one woman must go to set the record straight. Hosted by Jodie Martinson.  About Personally: Get lost in someone else’s life. From a mysterious childhood spent on the run, to a courageous escape from domestic violence, each season of Personally invites you to explore the human experience in all its complexity, one story — or season — at a time.
