This week Jane tells us about Bill and Melanie McGuire. When Bill disappeared, Melanie didn’t report him missing because she claimed he left her after they had a fight. Later, his dismembered body turned up inside of suitcases. Melanie maintained her innocence but the jury didn’t believe her.
Deklan tells us about Anneke Lucas, who as a young girl in Belgium was forced into a trafficking ring. Members high in the Belgian government as well as gang members participated in the trafficking ring of young children. Anneke survived horrifying things for years to tell her story.
We also drink the Castle to castle cocktail.
