The accidental sleuth who solved a murder
When Therese Tang volunteered to help search for a missing person, she could never have known she would end up face to face with a murderer.
When a millionaire farmer went missing in Sweden, an inexperienced volunteer called Therese Tang was drafted in to help search for him. She had her suspicions about a member of the man's family - and found an unorthodox way to get to the truth.Β This story was first broadcast on Outlook in January 2019.
Sara Faith Alterman was eight when she accidently discovered that her prudish dad was secretly a globally successful writer of adult books. Growing up, it was never discussed, but when he was dying of Alzheimer's in his late 60s, he asked Sara to help him write again before it was too late. She shares her story with Outlook's Mariana Des Forges.
Sara Faith Alterman's memoir is called Lets Never Talk about this Again.
A book has also been written about Therese Tang's experience - it's called The Dark Heart by Joakim Palmkvist.
The presenter is Jo Fidgen.
