Hey Coffee and Crimers, I’m your host Belle, and once a week I invite you to grab your cup of coffee and dive into the world of true crime. Here on Cup of Coffee and Crime, you’ll find narratives that range from the familiar and haunting to the lesser-told and puzzling.I focus on authentic victim stories, guided by detailed crime investigation and a commitment to accuracy. There’s no sensationalism here, just thoughtful storytelling that honours the truth and the people at its heart.Join me as we explore mysteries, uncover hidden truths, and keep the voices of victims at the centre of every story. Subscribe and listen as we examine real cases that remind us why understanding crime isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness, compassion, and remembering those whose voices must never be forgotten.
