<p>BBC South West journalist Emily Wood first joined us, a few moons ago, to talk perimenopause. </p><p>Today, she returns in an entirely different capacity, to share one of the most personal and compelling investigations we've ever heard.</p><p>Emily has created&nbsp;<em>True Crime Tuesday</em>&nbsp;currently airing on BBC Radio Devon Daytimes&nbsp;and it’s&nbsp;a deeply personal reinvestigation into the murder of her great aunt, Eva Porter, killed in Clapham in 1935.</p><p>What began as her mum exploring the family tree became something far bigger: a cold case reinvestigation, a journey through the London Archives, 83 pages of a coroner's report, and an unexpected thread connecting the case to Devon's most famous daughter,&nbsp;Agatha Christie.</p><p>But at its heart, this is about something we care deeply about: women's history. The real kind. Eva was a young woman who left home at 17 with ambitions, who became a single mother doing whatever she had to do to survive, and who was ultimately reduced to a headline about how she died. Emily has spent many hours making sure that is not where her story ends.</p><p>Because how many Eva’s are there? How many women's lives were shaped or crushed by the world they were born into, and then quietly forgotten?</p><p>In this episode we ask Emily: when did curiosity become investigation? What did 83 pages of a coroner's report reveal? What was life really like for women in 1930s London? What is the Agatha Christie connection? And what has it meant to give Eva her name back?</p><p>Stick around for some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week.&nbsp;💛</p><p><em>True Crime Tuesday is currently airing on BBC Radio Devon Daytimes.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Emily Wood:</strong></p><p>Instagram: @emilys.wood</p><p>BBC Sounds: BBC Radio Devon</p><p>LinkedIn: @Emily Wood</p><p>☕&nbsp;<strong>SUBSCRIBE</strong>&nbsp;for honest chats on women’s health, feminist issues, sisterhood &amp; smashing the patriarchy, one cuppa at a time.</p><p>💛&nbsp;Enjoying the podcast?
