Lauren Giddings was a 27-year old Law School Grad student in Macon, Georgia. She felt someone was stalking her, even noticing things in her home being moved around... Without much proof, she went on with life. Then in June 2011, her dismembered torso was discovered in a trash cart outside her apartment. Then we dive into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. The local police find a suspect very quickly, yet the evidence doesn't line up. So we have to ask ourselves, who committed this crime? And why are the police looking in the wrong direction?

In the final episode of Legally Fond, Gavin speaks to Frank Buttimer, the solicitor of Ian Bailey. Ian was a suspect in the 1996 murder of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier. The French government tried to extradite him three times to France, the country Ms Toscan Du Plantier was from. However, the Irish courts prevented this three times. In 2019, Ian was found guilty of her murder in a court in Paris despite having never been present at the trial.
