Show Notes
In Episode 10, we mentioned Hannah, a survivor whose childhood memories may hold a crucial piece of the Beaumont investigations. In this episode, you hear her voice for the first time. Hannah takes us inside the threats, the fear, and the world of Les Davis as she lived it from the age of six. She speaks about photographs, a white dress, digging in underground tanks, and the moments that shaped the trauma. Details she has carried, unchanged, for decades.
Then, for the first time, her older sister Rachael steps forward as a second corroborating witness. Rachael independently confirms the fear in the household and the danger their father repeatedly tried to report to the police.
She also brings new insight into Les’s behaviour, movements, and the patterns that now appear impossible to dismiss.
Two sisters. Two perspectives, inside and outside. One story that aligns across time, memory, and lived experience.
This is not rumour. This is not speculation. This is raw, consistent, and long overdue. testimony . ⚠️ Content warning: This episode discusses child sexual abuse and trauma. Listener discretion is advised.
