“I’m proud we can bring breaking news on crime victims to an even wider audience every month.

So many of the cases we investigate are sent to us by ‘Crime Stories’ listeners on social media. We can’t thank them enough for joining us each and every day. Without them, our program as we know it would not be possible,” says Grace.
