THE LINDSAY CLANCY CASE - POSTPARTUM PSYCHOSIS OR PREMEDITATED MURDER?

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses the abduction and murder of a child. Please take care while listening, and skip this episode if the subject matter may be distressing. Welcome back to True Crime with Emma 🖤 In this episode, we look at the heartbreaking case of Sarah Payne, an eight-year-old girl who disappeared in July 2000 while playing near her grandparents’ home in West Sussex, England. What began as a family’s desperate search for a little girl ended in tragedy. We explore who Sarah was, the events surrounding her disappearance, the investigation that followed, and the devastating discovery that shocked the nation. We also discuss the conviction of Roy Whiting and the lasting impact Sarah’s case had on child protection in the UK. Sarah’s story helped bring about the campaign for Sarah’s Law, which led to the introduction of a scheme allowing parents, carers and guardians to ask police whether someone who has access to a child may pose a risk to them. 🔗 Find out more about Sarah’s Law:

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma, and to another episode of MISSING MONDAY 🖤 where we explore real cases, unanswered mysteries and the stories behind the headlines.

Welcome back to True Crime with Emma🖤and to another episode where we explore real cases, unanswered questions and the stories behind the headlines. Today’s case is that of Breck Bednar, a 14-year-old boy whose life was tragically taken in February 2014 after he was groomed online by someone he had met through gaming. What initially appeared to be an online friendship became increasingly controlling and manipulative, ultimately leading Breck to a flat in Essex, where he was murdered. In this episode, we’ll look at who Breck was, his family and the life he was living before he met Lewis Daynes, how their online relationship developed, the concerns Breck’s mother Lorin had about the friendship, and the events that led to the devastating night of February 17, 2014. We’ll also look at the investigation, Daynes’ arrest and conviction, and the work Breck’s mother has done since his death to educate young people and families about the dangers of online grooming. Following Breck’s death, Lorin LaFave founded The Breck Foundation, a charity dedicated to helping children and young people stay safe online and recognise the signs of grooming and exploitation. The foundation continues to share Breck’s story in schools and communities across the UK, with the aim of preventing another family from experiencing what theirs did. You can find out more about The Breck Foundation and the work inspired by Breck’s story here: www.breckfoundation.org
