S8 Ep5: Collette

The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast

If you were a youngster back in the 1980's, then compared to today, you'll know just how much of a different world it was back then - when your days were carefree, kids had that much more freedom, and much less supervision. Of course, there has always been that threat there, it's not a new phenomenon, but when you're young, you know nothing but the good in the world. In a horrific tale this time around, one winter's day in 1986, one such child, six year old Collette Gallacher, walking to catch her school bus, came to realise that, there is evil too.
Horrifically, in her last few moments on this earth.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of offences involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
