Canadian True Crime

[Bonus content between episodes ] I had lots of questions after covering Russell Williams - so I had a conversation with Dr Lee Mellor - Canadian profiler, author, criminologist and serial killer expert. He's also the host of Murder Was The Case.In typical Lee fashion, he doesn't hold back on any of his opinions. Definitely lots of food for thought.
