Thriller - Part 9: The Aftermath

Always True Crime
About this episode
The culmination of the Thriller arc of this series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast drops here in this final episode, where we see just what David Mulcahy's conviction meant for so many - the victims, as well as the side of law and order. We catch up with developments over the twenty plus years since the conviction, and i give my own thoughts and feedback concerning the entire arc.

The multi part episodes are dedicated to the women who were blighted by the pair, and the three who lost their lives.
