Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Brother Tried to Kill Me
Q: What event made you decide to change your life and seek help?
The turning point came when police intervened during an incident, followed by the realization that I needed to escape the cycle of abuse and protect my future, including my child.
My Brother Tried to Kill Me
Q: Can you tell us a little about your childhood and what you witnessed growing up?
I grew up in the Northwest of England on a farm with a distant father who was emotionally and physically abusive, and I watched my mother suffer as the family tried to cope in a hostile environment.
We Were Trapped Inside With Six Sadistic Killers
Q: How would you describe your mother to somebody who never met her?
Evil. Evil, that's the only word. Evil, psychotic, she's just damn manipulated and very, very manipulative; she would present herself as something she wasn't when we visited.
The Murder No One Can Solve: 12 Years Later, Still No Answers
Q: How do you continue to move forward while staying connected to the past?
I maintain boundaries with the police and try to keep my father's memory alive in my daily life, and honor his legacy as best I can.
The Murder No One Can Solve: 12 Years Later, Still No Answers
Q: What would justice look like to you, not just legally, but emotionally?
Justice for me is ensuring that the person responsible doesn't get away with it and finding answers to why this happened.
