from Unsung Murder Ballads · host Janus Dead & Joyous Dead

We'd Love to hear from you!! Message us here!! In this episode Janus and Joyous dive into the very mysterious death of Gareth Williams, a MI6 operative for the UK government. This case opened up more questions than it provides answers to and it's a frustrating one. You've been warned. Also, apologies for the strange audio. We had so many technical issues the night we recorded that we're convinced the "powers that be" were trying to stop us. LOL
