In this special episode, Jess from the Outlines Podcast and I bring you two short episodes. While these episodes have no connection and take place decades apart, they have two women at their heart who have been forgotten over the years. Both of these cases discuss issues involving the way mental health has been approached over the years and even the way that true crime has been reported in the newspapers. Importantly, they are both cases where open verdicts have been reached. After the episodes, Jess and I have a more candid chat about our own thoughts and walk you through our research process.
