Lost and Found: The voice box

BBC World Service - Outlook, Lost and Found: The voice box

A young girl's life is sent into a spiral when she finds her voice has gone

Marie McCreadie was 13 when she suddenly lost her voice. She was accused of making it up, that the devil was at work in her – but the truth was even stranger.

A young girl's life is sent into a spiral when she finds her voice has gone.  

Marie McCreadie was 13 when she lost her ability to speak. She couldn't make a sound for over a decade. She was accused of making it up, that the devil was at work in her – but the truth was even stranger. She spoke to Outlook's Andrea Kennedy in 2019. 


In 2018, Mira Feticu received an anonymous letter with instructions on how to find a stolen Picasso, buried in a Romanian forest. She found the spot, but a shock was in store. This interview was first broadcast in 2020.
