    Dec 18 2024


    We head up to the Scottish Highland city of Inverness, and back to the early 2000's this time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a harrowing tale of a crime that shocked Scotland to the core, a definition of cruelty, evil, and a hauling over the coals of a system that, so tragically, failed a little girl.


    5 year old Danielle Reid. Hers is a name that following this, I doubt you will forget.


    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, involving a child, that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

Absolutely excellent

I really like the presenter and the way he sets out the show. No endless waffle, interesting and well researched material. I’ve listened to some cases which I’ve never heard about and this seems to be the norm. Just an incredibly good podcast and podcastor….well worth a listen. Oh the cat tinkles his bell in the back ground…
