Episode 84: The Murder of Lynsey Quy
When 21-year-old Lynsey Quy was reported missing in February 1999 by a social worker, the police soon discovered that she had last been seen two months prior, in December 1998. Lynsey had been in an abusive relationship with her husband Mitchell, and he was the prime suspect.
