Episode Details

He tells me he believes he will kill me, that that’s how it will end. He hates me.  How can I stand to be in a house with someone who hates me, he ask’s.' She wrote these words in her diary on June 31, 2019. Her name is Holly Anne Davidson. She died nine months later. She was only 38. Holly was a police officer. Her abuser still is a police officer. The police force protected him and threw her to the wolves. Until very recently it was illegal to tell you her name. Today Holly's mum Peta and her friends Kerry and Geraldine share her story.
