Crimes That Stay With You
Ever wondered what really lingers after the sirens fade? In this gripping, deeply human session, step inside the minds of those who’ve lived the darkest cases, not as storytellers, but as witnesses.
Criminal barrister and former forensic scientist Judith Fordham, forensic pathologist Dr Peter Ellis, and former police officer turned psychologist Damien Stewart share the crimes that changed them forever and what those experiences reveal about justice, resilience and the human capacity for empathy.
For anyone fascinated by true crime, morality, or the strength it takes to face the unthinkable, Crimes That Stay With You is a rare chance to hear what endures long after the case is closed.
