Episode 5: James Bulger
Manage episode 367264576 series 3487894
James Bulger was a 2 year old boy who was abducted, tortured and killed in Liverpool by two 10 year old boys. I share the story of what happened to him, and so I do put a trigger warning because it is the torture and murder of a minor. In this episode I also include an interview with James's mother Denise. She gives us a great perspective of what she has gone through since her boy was taken from her. I hope that including this point of view, us true crime fans can understand what the surviving family feels and goes through when their loved one is taken and murdered. I also want to say that I took a long break from posting new episodes and I apologize for that. As always I will include my sources below and please contact me at crimecastlepod@gmail.com. If you have a perspective, comment, story of your own, etc. I would love to include it in an episode!!!
