Margaret, Murder - And The Missing Motiv...

Always True Crime
About this episode
Continuing the multi-parter we began last time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where this time around, we hear of the continuing investigation into the horrific murder of grandmother Margaret Wilson in East Yorkshire in 1995, senselessly slaughtered on a country lane near her lifelong home - for no apparent reason whatsoever.

And the identification of a suspect - but was it the killer?

The episode contains details and descriptions of a crime and events that some listeners may find disturbing or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
