In the first episode of 2020, Broc dissects one of the most horrific murder cases to have ever taken place in England. Conditioned into a pedophilic relationship as a teenager by her murderer, James Patterson Smith, Kelly Anne Bates would eventually be systematically tortured for an extended period of time before being drowned in a bathtub at the age of 17. Smith, with a history of abuse and violence, was 49 at the time and still claims his innocence stating that her death was an accident. True crime aficionados unite for this horrific case.
