From Murder to Missing Persons, join the enquiring minds of Retired Detective Valentine Smith and Private Investigator Samantha Kiss as they delve deep into the lived-experience of compelling, curious, and often shocking true crime cases from Valentine's 45-year policing career.
Welcome to the WAWLA (What Are We Looking At?) podcast.....
Traditionally, investigations are led by one line of inquiry, ”What Are We Looking For?” .... a victim, a perpetrator, a weapon, a vehicle, a location. However, a novel method of investigative thinking has led to an understanding of the importance of a more crucial initial line of inquiry, ”What Are We Looking At?” Come and discover what the WAWLA method looks like….
We appreciate your support :)
