A Random Attack: Episode 418

Always True Crime
About this episode

In the story this week from Cardiff, 26 year old Geraldine Palk was enjoying her life - she had a close family, lots of friends and a job she enjoyed. One night, she had been out with work colleagues in the City Centre and left the club after midnight. She shared a taxi home with three other people, and was dropped just yards from her home. But she never made it to the front door. The next day Geraldine's body was discovered by children playing.


Just who had killed Geraldine? And why?
