*** Content warning: Extreme sexual violence, captivity *** [Part 2 of 2] As the years of abuse, torture and confinement to the bed box continued for Colleen Stan, she remained paralysed by her fear of The Company.

Case 265: Marea Yann

For Marea Yann, two things mattered most in life - family and community. When the 69-year-old was found violently bludgeoned to death in her Healesville home, the small Victorian town was left shaken. It seemed impossible that anyone would want to hurt this doting grandmother and dedicated volunteer worker. But as investigators learned more about Marea’s life, it quickly became clear that Marea had been living in fear of one person in particular. --- Narration – [Anonymous Host] (https://www.instagram.com/caseys.snaps/) Research & writing – Elsha McGill Creative direction – Milly Raso Production and music – [Mike Migas] (http://mikemigas.com/) Music – [Andrew D.B.
