In this week's episode, we discuss the trial and aftermath that followed the murder of Rebecca Watts. A bright, kind, and resilient girl whose life was stolen from her, when she was just 16 years old, by her stepbrother Nathan Matthews and his girlfriend Shauna Hoare.
During this case it was hard to tell Becky's story without also telling Nathan's because their lives were intertwined for so long. However, we did our best to honor Becky's memory.
Our main resource for this case was a book written by Becky's dad, Darren Galsworthy. Darren, if you ever see this please know that your book and your daughter's story touched us deeply. And, we only hope that we could do her story half the justice that your words did.
