A Christmas Tragedy: The Geraldine Palk Story | Ep. 224
In December 1990, a young woman walked the final few yards towards her home in Cardiff, but never made it through the front door. What happened in those final moments remains one of the most unsettling mysteries South Wales Police had ever faced, sparking an investigation that would stretch across an entire decade.
When 26-year-old Geraldine Palk failed to return home after her work’s Christmas party, her friends were confused, her family was worried, and within hours whispers began spreading through Fairwater.
As detectives traced her last known movements through busy nightspots, taxi queues, and the quiet residential streets she knew so well, a far darker story began to surface. One involving frantic appeals, national TV reconstructions, an unidentified man seen running from the crime scene, and a tiny piece of evidence that would, years later, prove crucial.
