S8 Ep33: Double Jeopardy

The Series 8 feature length finale of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast brings a vile individual, a true monster who literally got away with murder once. And yet, circumstances do denote that the wheels of justice may turn slowly - but they do turn.  An individual whose actions you will never forget. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
