The Opportunist: Episode 360

Always True Crime
About this episode
This week, the Uk True Crime podcast heads to Clothes Show Live at the NEC Birmingham.

Michelle Gunshon was working in security at this event with a couple of colleagues. They headed up from London and after their accommodation was flooded found another place to stay, The Dubliner. It was a lively place.

But on the Sunday of the show, there was no sign of Michelle and her car was missing - just what had happened to her?
