This evening's case is possibly more of a well-known one for our listeners. Amie Harwick was a thriving marital and sex therapist and was only 38 years old. Amie had a dark shadow hovering behind her though, her ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse. Through investigative work and the witness testimony of some of her many friends who deeply cared about her, Amie's killer would be brought to justice.
