    As an avid true crime podcast listener, this was one of the most inspirational podcasts I’ve listened to. Michael sounds like a wonderful man and he was a joy to listen to, even if the situation was so horrible. A brilliant and respectful episode.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: Do you think the case can ever be solved, and what would it take?
Barley expresses that the chances are incredibly slim unless multiple former inmates come forward with corroborated information, stressing that a definitive resolution would likely require new, verifiable testimony or the discovery of a body.
Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: What was it like interviewing John Cannan, and what did you learn from him?

Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: Hi Mike, why did you decide to tell this story now, after 40 years?
Barley explains that the decision came with a sense of obligation and the opportunity to share a detailed, inside perspective about the investigation, the people involved, and the emotional toll, while also addressing ongoing questions about what happened to Suzy.
Bonus Episode : Interview With Kerry Daynes - Top Forensic Psychologist
Q: What first drew you into forensic psychology?
A lifelong curiosity about human behavior and a later interest sparked by studying psychology and observing how people from all walks of life can become both perpetrators and victims; the field promised a way to study nuance beyond stereotypes.

Q: Why do so many murders involve people who know each other?
