Episode 291 - The Murder of Ron Whitehead & The Death of Hedviga Golik

This week, Naomi covers the murder or a husband and a father in what was first believed to be a tragic and random act of violence.

Then Amber covers Hedviga Golik, a Croatian nurse who died of natural causes alone in her Zagreb apartment in the mid-1960s. Due to deep social isolation, her mummified body remained completely undiscovered in her armchair for 42 years.
