Customer Reviews
Mr Avis’s story is interesting. Podcast is a bit drawn out
I hope they find out what the story of his parents was.
Absolutely chilling
I love BBC Scotland. Gripping storytelling.
Excellent True Crime Journalism
Thoughtful, thorough, empathetic, and gripping. I hope there will be updates if more information comes to light about Kim Avis or “Laura.”
