4: Every Parent's Nightmare

A truly horrendous crime is the focus of the episode this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, as we head back to 1985, to the city of Preston, in the county of Lancashire, to see how a case of a missing child became a murder enquiry, at the time, one of the biggest ever undertaken by Lancashire Police.



One that would span almost a quarter of a century in total. And one that no police officer, nor any longtime residents of Preston, would ever forget.



The episode contains details and descriptions of a crime and events of a sexual nature, involving the murder of a child, that listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
