Summary

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you.  These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows, The Detective’s Dilemma, which is narrated by me. The Detective’s Dilemma was originally released as a Spotify exclusive, meaning you could only listen to it on that platform. But now, for the first time, the entire series is available everywhere, for free, wherever you get your podcasts. When 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan went missing, Detective Steve Fulcher arrested a suspect who offered to lead him to her body. When the suspect then asked, “Do you want another one?”, it set in motion one of the most significant and controversial investigations in recent UK history. The Detective’s Dilemma explores the complex questions it raised about the justice system, police procedure, and the cost of doing what you believe is right. It’s a story that leaves you asking: what would you have done in the same situation? We’re releasing the first episode here on the Casefile feed. You can find the full series by searching for The Detective’s Dilemma, wherever you get your podcasts. I hope you enjoy the series. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
