Episode 15 – Super Sleuths
Two coroners examined Lyn Dawson’s disappearance and recommended a ‘known person’ – her husband Chris – be charged with her murder. We delve into how the inquests unfolded, finding out what one of the coroners had to say when Chris, his twin brother Paul, and Paul’s wife Marilyn did not attend. And we explore the interaction between podcasting and the criminal justice system, talking to two women who turned to audio investigations after all else failed, with remarkable results.
