Episode Description from the Publisher

Why did it take law enforcement so long to pay proper attention to Derek Alldred’s pattern of fraud against women all over the country?  In bonus episode four, Anna takes a deep dive into the investigation that finally brought Derek down, and the shortcomings of the many that came before.  In this four part mini-series, we take a deep dive into our archive of never before heard interviews, to take a closer look at the key themes that underpinned Trust Me Babe.    If you’re affected by any of the themes in this show, our charity partners NO MORE have available resources at https://www.nomore.org.
