The Girl In The Ground - Part 2


Listen Later

Concluding the horrifying and tragic story of 10 year old Ursula Herrmann this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, the girl snatched whilst cycling home in Germany in 1981, only to be found 17 days later in the most nightmarish of circumstances. Though it was to take almost 27 years, in 2008 the wheels of justice finally began to turn for Ursula and her family.

Except that once they had, the case became perhaps more controversial than it was before - with no one feeling this more strongly than Ursula's family. 

Concluding a tale you'll never forget. 

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including a description of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
