Thriller - Part 4: The Lost Bride

Always True Crime
About this episode
This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, in a continuation of this series' Thriller arc, the horrendous campaign of rape and then murder carried out by the two individuals we have come to know for now as Taller and Shorter took another turn - for with the case of a missing Hertfordshire woman, police who were hunting them soon had the very real fear that they had struck again.

She was a newly-wed, having been married for just four weeks.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving crimes of a sexual nature, and describing injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and/or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
