For the Silenced
42 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -Whether a case has been solved or unsolved, it is from 40 years ago or just today, all victims and their stories matter. In my podcast I hope to shed more light on those who have been wronged and silenced, and for those of us to keep talking...because you never know if something can be solved, and justice can finally be served, and someone and their story are no longer silenced.
