Show Notes
In March 2021, Gloucestershire Police received a strange phone call - the person on the line was calling to get help for a woman who was being kept against her will. When the police arrived, they discovered Amanda Wixon, a mother of ten, had been keeping a woman as a slave.... for 25 years.
This is REAL.
