What Most Likely Happened: The Murder of Julie Ward

from Bad Things: True Crime · host Bad Things

Julie Ward vanished in Kenya’s Masai Mara in 1988, and what was later found were not answers but fragments that only deepened the mystery. Official explanations shifted repeatedly, from animal attack to accident, even as forensic evidence pointed toward deliberate human involvement. Key details were ignored, altered, or buried, raising questions about whether the truth was intentionally obscured. Despite years of investigation and relentless pressure from her family, no one has ever been held accountable. What remains is the unsettling possibility that the full story of Julie Ward was never meant to come out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
