    Ep 305: Caroline Flack: Search For the Truth with Dov Freedman

    Laura is joined by Dov Freedman, co-founder Curious Films and executive producer of the powerful and disturbing two-part Disney/Hulu documentary Caroline Flack: Search for Truth.  

    On 15 February 2020, Love Island presenter and one of Britain’s biggest stars, Caroline Flack was found dead at her home in Stoke Newington, London; in August, a coroner’s inquest recorded a verdict of suicide.

    Before her death, Caroline was arrested in 2019 by the Metropolitan Police and later charged for assault.  She became the target of a relentless media storm. Vilified in the press and online, her world spiraled.

    Caroline spoke with Dov about making a documentary about what really happened.  The next day she was found dead. Devastated and distressed, Christine, Caroline’s mother, never stopped searching for the truth about her daughter’s final moments, and she agreed to do the documentary of the story Caroline never got to share. 

    Join Laura and Dov as they go behind the scenes and share the shocking details that shaped Caroline’s final days.

    Ep 303: Mica Francis: Analyzing the Federal Charges Against John Paul Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell

    30-year-old Mica Miller, née Francis was found dead from a gunshot wound at Lumber River State Park in Robeson County, North Carolina on April 27, 2024.  Her death occurred just two days after she had served her husband, John Paul Miller, with divorce papers. In December Miller was indicted for cyberstalking and making false statements to federal investigators. He appeared in federal court on January 11 2026. 

    In this episode, you’ll hear what happened in court and Laura unravels the newly unsealed federal indictment with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney and award-winning author Liz Farrell, co-hosts of the True Sunlight podcast. Together, they carefully unpack the charges in the indictment, timelines, and alleged behaviours, as well as discussing why this did not happen when Mica was alive. 

    Laura, Mandy, and Liz discuss why post-separation periods are often high-risk, how cyberstalking can function as coercive control, the importance of accountability and keeping the spotlight on these cases and why understanding patterns -not isolated events -is essential to prevention and justice. 

    Understanding escalation and coercive control is lifesaving and life changing.  Listen and share, you may save a life.

    Ep 301: Inside Murdaugh: Death in the Family with Erin Lee Carr, Part 22

    Laura is joined by Erin Lee Carr, a two-time Emmy nominated American documentary film director and producer and co-creator and executive producer of Hulu’s Murdaugh: Death in the Family for a deep dive examination of Alex Murdaugh and the making of Murdaugh: Death in the Family. 

    Together, Laura and Erin analyze the choices Alex Murdaugh made and debate the role drugs played in his brutal crimes. Laura highlights intentionality in the pre planning stages of the murders, the murders themselves and post offence behaviour that point to clarity of mind whilst Erin shares candid insight of both her and her father, David Carr’s addiction journeys as well unique insight into the realities of documentary filmmaking and scripted shows: the critical differences between them -including the ethical responsibilities, limitations, and strengths inherent in each format.

    This conversation examines how power, control, ego and entitlement operate both on screen and behind closed doors -and why understanding patterns of behaviour is essential to prevention.

    Learn the patterns. Identify the risk. Save lives.

    Ep 297: Investigating the Murdaugh Murders with Liz Farrell, Part 20

    Laura interviews award winning writer and co-host of The Murdaugh Murders podcast Liz Farrell. Liz is played by Alicia Kelly in the hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. Laura asks Liz about Paul Murdaugh’s history of abuse of Morgan Doughty being excluded from the series as well as the latest developments in Alex Murdaugh’s appeal filing.

    Laura and Liz profile other abusive and coercively controlling men including Brian Walshe who mounted a lubricous defense at his trial for the murder of Ana Walshe and Liz shares unique personal insight, having attended school with Brian.

    Laura highlights another potential hidden homicide – the triple deaths of Charity Beallis and her two children, and the unanswered questions surrounding the earlier death of Dr Randall Beallis first wife, Shawna Beallis.  

    Throughout, Laura and Liz expose how coercive control operates behind closed doors and in plain sight  - how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate, and why these warning signs are so often missed. When we understand how power and control operate, we are better equipped to protect victims and save lives. Listen. Learn the patterns. Save Lives.

    Ep 296: The Murdaugh Murders REMASTERED: Analysing Alex Murdaugh’s June 10th Interview with South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), Part 6

    The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.

    Join Laura as she highlights tactics used by Murdaugh to avoid the concept of time and how sharp Murdaugh’s memory is regarding some matters yet how hazy his recollection is about others that happened just a few days before in this hour-long interview. You won’t want to miss this.

    Ep 295: The Murders of Laura Mortimer, Ella Dalby and Libby Squire with Jodie Edith and Lisa Squire Part 2

    On January 31, 2019, Libby Squire, a 21-year-old university student, disappeared following a night out with friends in Kingston upon Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire.  Libby was abducted, raped, and murdered by a sexual predator.  Her killer, Pawel Relowicz, was later convicted of her rape and murder, and was charged with additional voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary offences. 

    Laura is joined by Lisa Squire, Libby’s mother, who bravely shares her family’s story and the devastating impact of her daughter’s murder, and the lifelong trauma families endure when systems fail to prevent violence.

    Laura carefully unravels the behavioural patterns and risk factors present in Libby’s case challenging common myths around “random” attacks and highlighting how opportunity, predatory behaviour, and escalation intersect. Laura, Jodie and Lisa dive deep into the red flags and patterns present in the behaviour of these repeat offenders, and what needs to happen next to save women and children’s lives. 

    This is an essential listen; it could save a life.
