This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, just imagine a person's whole life changing forever in the blink of an eye, in the most horrendous and callous of circumstances, by someone hell bent on causing unimaginable suffering?
Horrendous enough a thought, isn't it? Then imagine if it's a case of mistaken identity.
The episode contains details and descriptions of a crime and events, involving graphic descriptions of injury, that some listeners may find disturbing or upsetting, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
