Episode 37: Colin Pitchfork

TODAY’S CASEThis week we’re talking about Colin Pitchfork — the guy who ended up being the first ever criminal caught using DNA. Back in the 1980s, two terrible crimes in a small English town had everyone on edge, and police had no clue who was behind them. Then along came a brand-new bit of science that completely changed the game. Note: This episode discusses real-life tragic events and contains sensitive content that may be distressing to some listeners.🔗 LINKSPatreon - www.patreon.com/mainlymurderInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mainly_murderBuy Us A Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/mainlymurderwithmegandmum📩 CONTACT [email protected]🌐 CASE SOURCEShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_PitchforkThe unsolved murder of Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth.
