Grace Millane was just 22 years old when she set out on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo trip around the world. Smart, independent, and full of life, she was exploring New Zealand when she matched with a man on Tinder. What happened next shocked the world.
In this episode of Serial Napper, I dive into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane — a young British traveller whose life was tragically cut short in what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world. I follow Grace’s journey, her final hours, and the disturbing cover-up attempts by her killer, Jesse Kempson.
This case isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end — it’s a gut-wrenching look at how quickly trust can be weaponized and how society continues to question victims rather than the people who harm them.
