I brought my daughter’s killer down

Available for over a year

Karen Edwards’ daughter Becky spent her teenage years battling an addiction to heroin. It was a difficult struggle and Karen was by her side to help. But in 2003, Becky went missing. Her body was found eight years later, and convicting the killer was a long and complicated process. Karen told Emily Webb about her fight to bring Becky’s killer to justice, and the pain of losing her daughter.
