Why Doesn't She Just Leave? The Truth About Abusive Relationships
Why Doesn't She Just Leave? The Truth About Abusive Relationships
Σχετικά με αυτό το podcast
When my niece was murdered in 2018, my interest in true crime turned to an obsession. I respect the victims and their families because I’ve been there. Every victims story deserves to be told. No chatting about my personal life or witty banter….I just get right to the case and tell the victim’s story.
My personal story can be found in Season 1, episodes 17&18.
