Penny Farmer

Guest Speaker

Penny Farmer is a freelance journalist and public-relations consultant. With the assistance of her family and law-enforcement agencies in both Britain and the USA, she eventually saw the man who murdered her brother and his girlfriend brought to justice - as captured in her book 'Dead in the Water' which has recently been revised to include new information pertinent to the case and has been re-released.

In December 2018, some months after Dead in the Water was published top wide acclaim, Penny travelled to Guatemala with a BBC journalist and crew to record the podcast Paradise, which revisits the murders and retraces the last days of the victims and what happened afterwards. The murderer's son, a young boy at the time and a crucial witness to the killings on board the yacht Justin B., also took part in recordings for the podcast.

More recently, Dead in the Water was picked up by Amazon Prime, with the brand new docuseries of the same name hitting the streaming platform in February of this year.
