S8 Ep24: Manhunt

The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast

A tale of savagery from the late 1990's, and the UK county of Hampshire comes this time around, as we hear of the horrors committed by an individual that simply, selfishly and deludedly, could not take rejection. So extremely dangerous was this individual considered, that it led to warnings to women across Europe - in this tale, you will hear why.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving injury detail, and descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
