Summary:
In this episode we dive into the complex and controversial case of Sherri Papini, a woman who went missing in 2016 and was later found alive after 22 days. We highlight the inconsistencies in her narrative, her troubled past, and the media frenzy surrounding her disappearance, raising questions about the truth behind her claims of abduction by two Hispanic women.
We analyse Sherri's background, including her tumultuous childhood and relationships, and how these factors may have influenced her actions. We discuss the public's perception of her as a 'super mum' and the implications of her branding, which was discovered upon her return. We express our frustration with Sherri's actions and the complexities of her psychological state, leaving listeners with a thought-provoking examination of truth, manipulation, and the quest for attention.

Summary:
In this episode, we discuss the tragic case of Leanne Holland, a young girl who went missing in Queensland in 1991. We explore the investigation surrounding her disappearance, the discovery of her body, and the subsequent arrest of Graham Stafford, raising questions about the reliability of witness testimonies and the police investigation process. We focus on the timeline of events, the evidence presented during the trial, and the subsequent miscarriage of justice involving Graham Stafford. The discussion highlights the lack of corroborative evidence, the implications of blood and tire mark evidence, and the role of police and media in shaping public perception. It also explores other potential suspects and the ongoing quest for justice for Leanne and Graham.
