About this audiobook
“She did not call back. Nor will she, ever again. How I started loathing those two little words, never again.”In a heartbeat everything can change. This is the gripping, true story of how a young woman was murdered and a family lost a daughter. Like most young girls her age Nadine lives a life filled with family, friends and thoughts about the future. At seventeen she meets Gerold and they fall in love.But a darkness gradually falls upon their relationship and after almost three years Nadine calls the relationship off. Gerold does not accept this decision and keeps contacting her, despite her rejecting his advances. Yet, one day in December 2006 he manages to lure her to his house one more time. A visit that turns out to be fatal. With countless stabs he brutally ends her young life. Not long after, he is caught and sentenced to 12 years in prison and afterwards a treatment facility for mentally ill prisoners. In 2009 Gerold sends a letter to Nadine’s family, where he apologizes and pleads for them to meet with him.“Call You Right Back, Mum” is the life story of Nadine, written by her mother Wanda. It deals with everything from pregnancy to that fatal moment where her life ended. In the book she follows up on the reconstruction, the trial and the sentencing.
