The Murder Behind The Lie : Episode 543
Dawn Rhodes was a 38-year-old mum whose attempt to leave an unhappy marriage ended in tragedy.
After her murder, a disturbing version of events emerged in which Dawn was portrayed as a violent woman who had attacked her own child. But behind that story was a lie which would have devastating consequences for those left behind. The episode today explores the murder of Dawn Rhodes, the story created in its aftermath, and the devastating impact of the truth being hidden for so long.
