In this episode, we desperately try to find information on the young woman who has come to our street, to our house, followed Iris and confronted her, clearly believing her to be Bea. When the police tell us who she is, and what they are going to do about her visit, we are left incredulous - as well as angry and despairing.
Trigger warnings: this podcast deals with rape, sexual assault, anxiety, depression and eating disorders.
Most mothers will never have to find out what happens when their child becomes the victim of a horrendous crime. I, Lisa Lennox, never imagined that it would happen to my family, to my 17-year-old daughter. But one benign, ordinary summer's day, it did. And so began my family's immersion in the horror unleashed by such a crime, the trauma, the fear, the on-going nightmare of dealing with a police and criminal justice system which, if not completely broken, is certainly fatally fractured and struggling to cope.
Everyone is Talking About This is the true story of an ordinary family forced to face an extraordinary circumstance. I’ve tried to be honest and forthright about my desperate struggle to help my child get justice - and, on many occasions, to see the reason to go on living.
