The Disturbing Murder of Julie Ward


Listen Later

Episode 46: In 1988, 28 year-old British tourist Julie Ward traveled to Africa to carry out her passion for wildlife photography, a trip she had taken before, but this time she never returned home. After not hearing from his daughter for a few days, her dad John grew concerned and called the places she had been staying in and hospitals, but she wasn’t there. He travelled to Kenya himself and came across his daughter’s charred remains during a search, but the Kenyan government did not take much interest and claimed she was killed by an animal. This case is famous for the dedication of her father and the difficulties in securing justice in Kenya, leaving the question, who killed Julie Ward?
