Episode The Girl Who Loved Horses
Back in 1983, 14 year old Gillian Atkins had one love in her life - her horses, she was horse mad from a young age. Devoting her life to them, there were even rumblings of Gillian having a possible Olympic shot in her chosen field, so capable was she - until one April evening, that came to a crashing halt. As did Gillian's life. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
