Rewind: Episode 57 The Mystery of Meadowbrook Doe (with updates)

Author: Killer Audio Creations August 22, 2026 Duration: 41:57
This is a rewind episode - designed to bring new attention to the back catalogue of the podcast. But it's also something else. The audio you'll be hearing is actually a chapter of my audiobook for my book, Bare Bones. I included Meadowbrook Doe's case in that book and thought I'd share that chapter here to help bring some new ears to the case. If you'd like to listen to the whole audiobook you can purchase it on any audiobook platform including at any of the following links: Audible: https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Bones-Cases-Crime-Africa/dp/B0GFB187YL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3B98LQUOAUXCU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.loOTtBIVZgpLGkYVLz2oGQ.om3t0wgPWjRq-dPYXX44zM6RRD0oyZOi0X7AITvyyX0&dib_tag=se&keywords=bare-bones-cold-cases-from-true-crime-south-africa+by+Nicole+Engelbrecht&qid=1768190789&s=audible&sr=1-1 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/audiobook/bare-bones-24?sId=c159a2ce-1398-4618-8cab-e1e0eb57b69c&ssId=vTZKEx-JKmbnaetb-XB4g&cPos=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lbceaLDNSgNLLnO3Icfo8 Apple: https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/bare-bones-cold-cases-from-true-crime-south-africa/id1857379297?uo=4 - 24-hr trauma helpline 082-821-3447 - Support the show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/truecrimesa - Support the show on PayBru https://paybru.co.za/communities/true-crime-south-africa - Get TCSA and General True Crime Merch on https://sacriminologist.co.za/shop/ 10% off with code TCSA sitewide
