A 24 year-old mum tries to escape a violent relationship. She quickly packs the car – her two young daughters are strapped into the back seat.

The engine’s running. She heads back inside to get one last thing … and never comes out.

From the creators of the groundbreaking murder mystery podcast The Lady Vanishes, this is the story of Amy Wensley.
A decade after her death was written off as a suicide, it is now being treated as a homicide and a new investigation is underway.

Finally, The Truth About Amy will be revealed.

As the Director of Public Prosecutions considers the new Brief of Evidence into Amy Wensley's death, the team speaks to a Domestic Violence survivor who's also a police officer specialising in this area. Sharon Morgan's story is both heartbreaking and hopeful – shining a light on all that's right and wrong with the system.
