Tales from the Tower | Excuse Me (Part 1) Sep 27, 2017

Show notes

Agents in The Division of Community Order often find themselves with overwhelming workloads. Tasked with dozens of new non-violent crimes and domestic disputes each day, there’s seldom a chance to reflect on cold cases. Tonight, a chance discussion brings a new and sinister perspective to a missing persons’ case that’s been closed for over a decade.
