Show Notes


We head up to the Scottish Highland city of Inverness, and back to the early 2000's this time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for a harrowing tale of a crime that shocked Scotland to the core, a definition of cruelty, evil, and a hauling over the coals of a system that, so tragically, failed a little girl.


5 year old Danielle Reid. Hers is a name that following this, I doubt you will forget.


The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, involving a child, that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
