While her death was ruled a suicide, Natalie questions that conclusion, pointing to missing evidence and concerns raised by a former attending police officer.

Natalie joins us to explain why she’s appealing the Coroner's decision against an inquest, and we encourage listeners to hear the deeper investigation in Graeme Crowley's podcast, The Guarantor.

]]> This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Fugitive Dezi Freeman has been shot dead by Australian police after seven months on the run, following the fatal shooting of two officers, Neal Thompson and Vadim De Waart-Hottart, at his rural Porepunkah property last August. 

Authorities say the 56-year-old, linked to sovereign citizen ideology, died after an hours-long stand-off in bushland when he refused to surrender.

We unpack what is known so far about the case, the manhunt and the broader concerns around anti-government extremism with Holly Hales, Chief of Staff at Australian Associated Press.

Re-Issue Should Sex Offenders Keep Their Super? Re-Issue Yesterday, (March 25th 2026), the Albanese Government introduced legislation known as the Survivors Law, aimed at preventing convicted child sexual abusers from using superannuation to shield assets from unpaid court-ordered compensation. 

If passed, the reforms would allow victim-survivors to seek access to certain additional super contributions from their offenders, and would ensure those debts can still be pursued even if an offender declares bankruptcy. 

Today, we are re-issuing episode 265 from July 2022. In this conversation, Andrew Carpenter and Adam Washbourne join us to explain why advocates have long called for these changes, and what meaningful reform could mean for survivors seeking justice and financial support to rebuild their lives.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Pauline Sowry disappeared from Wollongong’s northern suburbs in December 1993 at the age of 49.

An inquest in 2008 found she likely died after a reported sighting the following year, yet her body has never been located, and the case has continued to develop with a dedicated police task force in 2022, a 500 thousand dollar reward announced in 2024, and a charge laid then withdrawn in 2025.

One of Pauline's children, Jason Lawrence joins us to share who his mother was and the lasting impact her disappearance has had on their family.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

In 2016, a woman reported that she was sexually assaulted at a birthday party in the small western Victorian town of Balmoral.

The case divided the close-knit community and led to a complex legal process involving an appeal, a retrial and a key witness who later changed her evidence, though two juries ultimately found the men guilty of rape.

Journalists Andy Burns and Charlotte King join us to discuss their investigation for the ABC podcast Hometown Boys and the impact the case had on the town.

PLEASE NOTE: This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual violence.

You can listen to Hometown Boys on the Background Briefing podcast by the ABC.

In this conversation, he unpacks how the investigation uncovered deep failures within Australia’s health system and the extraordinary courage of a nurse who chose to speak up.

In 1986, Sydney nurse Anita Cobby was abducted and murdered after a sexual assault, followed two years later by the abduction, sexual assault and murder of Janine Balding after she was taken from Sutherland train station.

In the aftermath, the New South Wales government introduced laws that ensured the teenage offenders would spend their lives in prison with no chance of parole.

Criminal lawyer and former NSW MP Peter Breen joins Australian True Crime to argue those laws were deeply flawed and that some of the men convicted may have been innocent.

The attack came just three years after the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. 

Our guest is Joe Frost, one of the teenagers on a trip from Newcastle who survived the attack and recently created the podcast Forgotten Bombs Bali 2005.

Show notes:

 

A man heard the violence behind the wall. He did not help her. Her sister found the single mum days later. The smell of her favourite human decaying forever lingers in her memory. Her murder warranted no more than three lines in one newspaper. Her killer still walks among us.

 

Her name is Kelly Williams (Duffy). She was only 31. You've never heard of her but it's not for want of trying. Kelly's sister Paula has spent the past 23 years trying to get journalists to tell her story.

 

Today she gets that wish.

Shortcut: What Happened to Shirley Butler on Christmas Eve 1952? This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Shirley Butler, a 21 year old woman, was found dead just metres from her home in Waverton on Christmas Day 1952.

 

Detectives launched an intense hunt for answers and even staged a world first radio re enactment of her final tram ride, while the press hinted that police were holding back key details.

 

Nearly six months later, a dramatic arrest made headlines, but the revelations that followed proved even more astonishing.

For this bonus episode of ATC International, we bring you a story from the USA.

 

Amy B. Chesler is an award winner blogger, actress and author from Southern California. She's also the host of a podcast called "What Came Next".

 

She's uniquely qualified to discuss true crime, because she's suffered a lifetime of abuse at the hands of her brother, Jesse.

 

That abuse continues, despite the fact that he's incarcerated for the 2007 murder of their mother, Hadas.

 

Amy joins us today to talk about the slow build up of abusive behaviour that led to her mother's attack, and the ongoing threat her brother poses from behind bars.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Two weeks into his policing career, Jason Semple was left bleeding in a Sydney gutter after being stabbed during a violent street confrontation that also claimed the life of his fellow police officer, Peter Forsyth.

 

The attack in Ultimo in 1998 shocked the nation and changed the course of Semple’s life. This is the first of two episodes, where Jason recounts the night that nearly killed him and the moment that defined his future in law enforcement.

Re-Issue: Forced adoptions in Australia, could it happen again? This episode was originally published on June 19th, 2022.

 

Australia in the mid twentieth century has a dark history of forced adoption. Women who did not fit the moral expectations of the time (usually those who were young and unmarried) had their children taken from them at birth, often with little to no information left behind for them to be reunited.

 

Our guest today, Lily Arthur, is one story of many, and it is an absolutely heartbreaking one. It is also a story of determination and grit, and the long fight Lily went through to seek justice for what happened to her and many others.

Marilyn Burdon was a 70-year-old mother and grandmother who, in 2017, was killed in her Kew home by her former partner, Charles Bisucci, who then took his own life.

 

Despite being banned from owning firearms for over a decade, Bisucci was able to access multiple guns, a failure later examined at a coronial inquest that led to recommendations for change.

 

One of Marilyn’s three children, Rebecca Burdon, joins us to speak about her mother’s life, the circumstances of her death, and why the system still hasn’t fixed the gaps that allowed it to happen.

Bradley John Murdoch isn't a good man, but did he murder Peter Falconio?

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Frank Arkell was Wollongong’s long-serving lord mayor and state MP (1974-1991), known for his flamboyant style and tireless advocacy for the city during a period of economic upheaval.

 

Though widely respected in public, allegations about his private life and suspected links to a paedophile ring began to arise in later years.

 

In 1998, Arkell was brutally murdered - a crime that shocked the city and brought those suspicions into sharper focus.

 

In this episode, we speak with historian Erik Eklund, author of Pride, Politics and Perversion, a biography of Arkell.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

During World War II, Melbourne hosted American soldiers as part of the Allied effort, and the city enforced "brownouts"—partial blackouts to obscure urban areas from potential air raids.

 

Among the soldiers was Edward Leonski, whose self-confessed fixation on women's voices led to the tragic murders of Ivy Violet McLeod, Pauline Thompson and Gladys Hosking.

 

Joining us is Luke C. Jackson, one of the creators of The Brownout Murders, a graphic novel that examines the fear, fortitude and social change sparked by this dark chapter in Melbourne’s history.

Peter Norris joins us once again on Australian True Crime to share more about his childhood as the son of a bank robber.

 

In our previous episode, we heard about Gordon House, the homeless shelter in Melbourne's CBD where 11-year-old Pete and his dad, Clarry, hid out for a couple of months after Clarry’s escape from Fremantle Jail.

 

In this episode, we pick up the story after a near-miss with police at Gordon House, which forces the pair to hit the road, and escape authorities across the Nullarbor.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Our guest host, Dr. Xanthé Mallett sits down with lawyer Iresha Herath and media researcher Maria Rae to chat about their soon to be released podcast Little Girl Lost.

 

They’ve spent the last year and a half diving deep into the 1921 murder of 12-year-old Alma Tirtschke, a case known as the “Gun Alley Murder.”

 

They explore how Alma’s story was twisted by the media and courts at the time—and how those same patterns still play out in true crime today.

When Marie Greening Zidan's handbag was stolen by two boys, she called the police. She couldn't get to the station to report it, it was a Saturday, and the 73-year-old was caring for her disabled adult son.

 

The police said to her "We can't get to you. We will come on Monday." But Monday came too late. The boys, aged 15 and 16, came back the next day and raped, bashed and murdered the grandmother while her disabled son lay terrified in another room.

 

Just days after the horrifying home invasion, the killers called Marie's daughter and left her taunting phone messages. They were eventually charged with manslaughter. And now, they walk free.

A popular, gentle suburban single mother, whom friends and family said didn’t have an enemy in the world, was the victim of several bizarre incidents of vandalism before she was brutally murdered in her own home.

 

She’d been alone in the house for just minutes when her teenage son returned and made the terrible discovery. Was she being stalked by a stranger? Did she have a second life no one knew about?

She had suffered a severe head injury, and would later pass away in hospital. 

 

Lesley was a beloved member of her community, and last month signalled 40 years since her murder. Despite more than 150 interviews conducted at the time, the motive for this crime has never been determined. No signs of robbery, no evidence of sexual assault, and no apparent forced entry.

]]> This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

In 1954, Sydney man Arthur Griffith died at the hands of his girlfriend, a former Miss Australia semifinalist, Shirley Beiger.

 

Their lives up to that point are fascinating to look back on, but what happened afterwards is positively extraordinary. 

 

Our guest today is Sheridan Harbridge. Sheridan is an actor and playwright, and she's co-written a theatre show inspired by Shirley Beiger to be performed in one of Australia's oldest courtrooms as part of the 2025 Sydney Festival in January.

 

You can book tickets to Sheridan's production, A Model Murder here.

Lech Blaine was ten years old when his family was located by Australia's most notorious stalkers.

 

Religious fanatics, Michael and Mary Shelley had been convicted multiple times by then of harassing politicians, religious figures and private citizens all over the world.

 

They were particularly interested in the Blaine's because they were fostering three of the Shelly's biological children.

 

Lech Blaine is now one of our country's brightest young writing talents, and telling his family's incredible story in a new book called Australian Gospel.

 

In part one of this two part edition of Australian True Crime, we learn about the backgrounds of the families and the beginnings of the Shelley's rampage around the globe.

This is the second instalment of a two part episode about the killing of Queensland Uber Driver, Scott Cabrie.

 

Tye Wayne Porter was convicted of manslaughter over Scott's death and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison with a non-parole period of six years.

 

There was another offender involved who can't be named because he was a minor at the time of the attack. He was sentenced to 15 years, which is the longest sentence ever handed down to a minor in Queensland, but he could be released after serving nine and a half years.

 

Today we hear from Scott's brother, Ian Cabrie.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

On December 14, 2008, 37-year-old Mary Cook was found murdered in a burned down house on Darling Way, Narre Warren.

 

Victoria Police launched a months-long covert operation, gaining a confession from 35-year-old Glenn Weaven using the controversial "Mr Big" technique.

 

Weaven was convicted of Mary’s murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison, with a 16-year non-parole period. But the use of the Mr Big method has sparked intense scrutiny.

 

Our guest today on Australian True Crime, Professor Michele Ruyters, is here to explain what the Mr Big technique is, and how she believes it may have coerced a confession from Glenn Weaven, thus resulting in his wrongful conviction.

 

Today's conversation is also conducted by our guest host and resident criminologist, Dr. Xanthé Mallett.

 

Michele Ruyters is the director of the Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative at RMIT University.

Victoria Police launched a months-long covert operation, gaining a confession from 35-year-old Glenn Weaven using the controversial "Mr Big" technique.

 

Weaven was convicted of Mary’s murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison, with a 16-year non-parole period. But the use of the Mr Big method has sparked intense scrutiny.

 

Our guest today on Australian True Crime, Professor Michele Ruyters, is here to explain what the Mr Big technique is, and how she believes it may have coerced a confession from Glenn Weaven, thus resulting in his wrongful conviction.

 

Today's conversation is also conducted by our guest host and resident criminologist, Dr. Xanthé Mallett.

 

Michele Ruyters is the director of the Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative at RMIT University.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Hannah was just 15 years old when her big sister, Emma Pawelski was murdered in 2005.

 

The crime remains unsolved, despite the fact that police have always had one main suspect.

 

We spoke to Hannah and Emma's mother, Sharon, in 2020. We've reissued that episode, in case you'd like to listen back to it after this one.

 

Hannah McKell joins us today on Australian True Crime to talk about living with her sister's homicide and to appeal again for anyone with information about her sister's death to please contact police.

 

There is a $200,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in this case. If you have any information, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

As rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs sits in a Brooklyn jail facing criminal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering and at least seven civil suits alleging sexual assault, we talk to investigative journalist Brian Joseph, who spent many years writing about the relationship between hip hop culture and sexual exploitation.

 

Brian recently released a book called Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip-Hop and Corruption in America.

 

In the book, he focuses on the so-called pimp and prostitute culture that's been glamorised and normalised in the media. Specifically, Brian reports on the case of Jamal Rashid, known professionally as Mally Mall, an American hip hop producer who worked with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa, among many others.

Jamelle Wells is one of Australia's most experienced and well-known court reporters.

 

She's been a fixture inside Sydney's Supreme Court for decades and she finally wrote a book about it in 2018 called "The Court Reporter".

 

What she didn't mention in that book is a sort of hobby she has of popping into regional courts around the country. It's probably got something to do with the fact that she was born and raised in outback New South Wales.

 

The result is Jamelle's second book called "The Outback Court Reporter". It's equal parts shocking, disturbing, hilarious and endearing.

 

Jamelle joins us on Australian true Crime to talk about why she loves country courts, but also why she says that Australia is a country where justice is by postcode.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

In a recent episode, we spoke about the decades-long fight for justice for Scott Johnson, whose 1988 death in Sydney was initially ruled a suicide by police, despite evidence of a wider pattern of gay hate crimes.

 

Today, we’re joined by Sue Thompson, one of the key Australians who supported Scott’s brother, Steve, in his quest for the truth.

 

A former lawyer turned police officer, Sue spent 17 years creating programs to bridge the divide between NSW Police and the LGBTQIA+ community, helping to address the entrenched prejudice that plagued investigations like Scott’s.

]]> This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

In a recent episode, we spoke about the decades-long fight for justice for Scott Johnson, whose 1988 death in Sydney was initially ruled a suicide by police, despite evidence of a wider pattern of gay hate crimes.

 

Today, we’re joined by Sue Thompson, one of the key Australians who supported Scott’s brother, Steve, in his quest for the truth.

 

A former lawyer turned police officer, Sue spent 17 years creating programs to bridge the divide between NSW Police and the LGBTQIA+ community, helping to address the entrenched prejudice that plagued investigations like Scott’s.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

The Australian Federal Police have released a short podcast series to mark the ten year anniversary of the downing of flight MH17 in Ukraine.

 

It's called Search Among the Sunflowers. The title reflects the surreal spectacle that faced the ten member team of AFP officers who were among the first international investigators allowed to enter the site.

 

All 298 people on board were killed, including 38 people who called Australia home.

 

Officer Hilda Sirec, who is now Assistant Commissioner of the AFP, was part of that first small team and she joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about the mission.

 

Search Among The Sunflowers is available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

On last week's episode, we spoke with Nicole Morris, the director and founder of the Australian Missing Persons Register, about her new book, Missing.

 

Nicole described one of those cases as very solvable, and in this episode of Australian True Crime, we find out why.

 

Western Australian man, Rigby Fielding was already retired at 53 years of age after a successful career as a restaurateur. He decided to move back to his childhood home in Rockingham, half an hour south of Perth, to live with and care for his elderly mother and his younger sister, who lives with Down Syndrome.

 

Rigby, known as Rig, traveled by train to Perth on August 15, 2015 to visit friends. He called his mother in the afternoon to let her know he was heading home, but he never made it and that was the last known contact he had with anyone. Since that day, Rig's sister, Stephenie, has devoted herself to finding him and she joins us on Australian True Crime to share her story.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Nicole Morris joins us again on Australian True Crime to talk about her latest book devoted to missing persons.

 

The book is simply called Missing, but there's nothing simple or easy about the stories she tells inside.

 

Nicole is the director and founder of the Australian Missing Persons Register, which she created in 2005. Prior to that, there was no national database of missing people and no hub for families who are missing someone to share information, resources and support for each other.

 

Missing, and Nicole's previous book, Vanished, have both been written in close collaboration with these families. The portraits she paints of the disappeared are intimate, in depth and relatable.

Lex Lasry is a guest we've been hunting since day one of Australian True Crime.

 

Since graduating quite miraculously from law school in 1972, Lex has forged a mighty career. He acted both as prosecution and defence counsel, he was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1990 and then appointed to the bench of the Supreme Court of Victoria in 2007.

 

In his various capacities, Lex has been a central figure in some of this country's most high profile cases, from a failed attempt to prosecute Mr. Rent-A-Kill, Christopher Flannery for murder to the demise of the feared Painters and Dockers Union. From advocating for so-called Australian Taliban, David Hicks, to the controversial case that turned out to be his last, the 2020 Eastern Freeway crash that saw four police members struck and killed by a truck driver under the influence of drugs.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Scott Johnson's naked body was found on the rocks at Blue Fish Point near Manly in Sydney in December 1988. Above him loomed the jagged cliffs from which he had fallen the night before.

 

Manly police were quick to declare his death a suicide, even though gay men were being found in similar circumstances around the Sydney shoreline with shocking regularity.

 

Scott was, and still is, deeply loved by his friends, family and older brother, Steve Johnson.

 

Steve refused to give up in his pursuit of justice for Scott. His crusade uncovered the truth about decades of gay hate crimes in Sydney and the police inaction that allowed them to thrive.

 

Steve Johnson has just released a book called A Thousand Miles from Care, and he joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about it.

]]> This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

Scott Johnson's naked body was found on the rocks at Blue Fish Point near Manly in Sydney in December 1988. Above him loomed the jagged cliffs from which he had fallen the night before.

 

Manly police were quick to declare his death a suicide, even though gay men were being found in similar circumstances around the Sydney shoreline with shocking regularity.

 

Scott was, and still is, deeply loved by his friends, family and older brother, Steve Johnson.

 

Steve refused to give up in his pursuit of justice for Scott. His crusade uncovered the truth about decades of gay hate crimes in Sydney and the police inaction that allowed them to thrive.

 

Steve Johnson has just released a book called A Thousand Miles from Care, and he joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about it.

In 1974, 16-year-old Raelene Eaton and her 17-year-old cousin, Yvonne Waters, went missing after visiting a Perth pub to see a band. They have never been seen since.

 

Friends and family of the girls are as desperate for information as they were back then.

In the 19th century, Victorian newspapers labeled Pentridge Prison inmate John Weachurch as a "bloodthirsty werewolf."

 

Who was this supposed homicidal maniac who, for a time, shared his prison sentence with Ned Kelly? And why did he not share the same fame as the aforementioned inmate?

I had the opportunity to interview Richard for my book "CSI Told You Lies" about his work in identifying victims in mass casualty events, such as the Black Saturday Bushfires and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

 

Currently, Richard is deeply invested in researching and utilising AI technology, as it has the potential to make a significant difference in the speed and cost of victim identification.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

 

In 2006, Adelaide teenager Carly Ryan thought she'd met the boy of her dreams on social media by the name of Brandon Kane.

 

Brandon was a character invented by pedophile Garry Francis Newman, who was in his fifties at the time and communicating with literally hundreds of underage girls around the world, posing as a boy their age. Newman enlisted his own teenage son to help him groom the girls and try to persuade them to meet him in person.

 

In February 2007, Newman and his son traveled to Adelaide to meet up with 15 year old Carly. They took her to her favourite beach where they raped and murdered her.

 

Carly's mother, Sonya Ryan has since led efforts for over a decade in Australia to make her home country one of the toughest on online crime and harms and now an international leader in crime prevention.

 

Sonya joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about what has become her life's work, The Carly Ryan Foundation.

]]> In 2006, Adelaide teenager Carly Ryan thought she'd met the boy of her dreams on social media by the name of Brandon Kane.

 

Brandon was a character invented by pedophile Garry Francis Newman, who was in his fifties at the time and communicating with literally hundreds of underage girls around the world, posing as a boy their age. Newman enlisted his own teenage son to help him groom the girls and try to persuade them to meet him in person.

 

In February 2007, Newman and his son traveled to Adelaide to meet up with 15 year old Carly. They took her to her favourite beach where they raped and murdered her.

 

Carly's mother, Sonya Ryan has since led efforts for over a decade in Australia to make her home country one of the toughest on online crime and harms and now an international leader in crime prevention.

 

Sonya joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about what has become her life's work, The Carly Ryan Foundation.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Captain Moonlite was a very different character compared to other famous Australian Bushrangers.

 

Despite the fantastic nickname there's been conspicuously little information available about him.

 

That was until journalist and author, Garry Linnell started looking into the story.

 

The result is a great book that uncovers some surprising aspects of Moonlite story. Aspects some say are the reason he hasn't been eulogised like his contemporaries.

Subscribe now to ATC Plus to listen to the whole hour long conversation.

 

Many of you will know the name Dassi Erlich.

 

Along with her sisters, Elly Sapper and Nicole Meyer, Dassi fought a ten year battle to have her former head mistress, Malka Leifer, extradited from Israel to Australia to face trial for sexually abusing them when they were students at the ultra orthodox Adass Israel School in Melbourne.

 

Malka Leifer was found guilty of sexually assaulting and raping Dassi and Elly, and in August 2023, she was sentenced to 15 years in jail with a non-parole period of 11 and a half years.

 

Now Dassi has released a memoir, called "In Bad Faith".

 

Even though they've told us so much of their story already, this book is a revelation. I feel like I've read a whole new story. A story I never knew. It's so good.

Retired Victorian Homicide Detective Charlie Bezzina joins us to discuss his connection to Nicola Gobbo, also known as Informer 3838.

 

Gobbo, a high-profile lawyer with underworld clients, was also a police informant.

 

While it's disputed who in Victoria Police knew about Gobbo's informant status, it's clear that homicide squad leaders were unaware.

 

Charlie Bezzina, on call on May 16, 2004, when Terrence and Christine Hodson were found executed in their Melbourne home, was kept in the dark about crucial information. It wasn't until years later that Charlie discovered why he felt like he had one arm tied behind his back during the investigation.

Farquharson is the Victorian man who was twice convicted of deliberately driving his car into a dam on the night of Father's Day 2005 for the purpose of murdering his three children, Jai, 10, Tyler, 7, and Bailey, 2.

 

He also launched two failed appeals against his convictions.

 

Recently 60 Minutes devoted an entire episode to the story in which they called for yet another review of the evidence.

 

No one knows this case like Megan Norris. She's a journalist and author who started her career as a court reporter. Megan followed this case from the very beginning, first to write a series of magazine articles.

 

But through that process, Megan developed a close relationship with the mother of the three boys, Cindy Gambino. Cindy asked Megan to write a book about what she was going through, and thank goodness she did, because since Cindy's own death in 2022, that book "On Father's Day" has been her only voice.

 

Megan joins us on Australian True Crime to represent Cindy and to take us back through the evidence against Robert Farquharson.

Alan Bond, "Bondy" as he was known by Prime Ministers and Aussie battlers alike, was unlike the other Australia flamboyant billionaires of the 1980s. 

 

He and his wife Eileen, whom he called Big Red, built their fortune from nothing in the suburbs of Perth, and they still wore their humble beginnings on their sleeves when they socialised with royalty.

 

Of course, it all came crashing down in those brutal post stock exchange crash days in the early nineties.

Some of you will remember Jodie Bilborough from her appearance on A Current Affair in 2019.

 

One of their reporters traveled to Jordan in the Middle East to meet Jodie, who just won custody of her son, Laith, through the Jordanian courts after his father, her ex-husband, Ismat, had prevented her from seeing him for four years. An allegation in which he denies.

 

The report left us on an optimistic note, although Jodie was still waiting to bring Laith home to live with her as his father had launched a legal appeal.

 

Jodie joins us on Australian True Crime to tell us what's happened since 2019. It's a long and winding tale that I don't think any of us could have predicted five years ago.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

On the night of November 16th, 2020, 23 year old Celeste Manno was stabbed to death in her bed.

 

The murderer was a man she'd met very briefly at work over a year before who'd been stalking her relentlessly ever since.

 

Luay Sako, 39, smashed through her bedroom window with a hammer and stabbed Celeste 23 times in two and a half minutes.

 

By the time her mother, Aggie, was woken by the commotion and made it down the hallway to her daughter's bedroom, it was too late.

 

Earlier this year, Sako was sentenced to 36 years in prison with a minimum of 30. It came as a great shock and disappointment to Celeste's family and their supporters who'd hoped for a life sentence.

 

There was further disappointment when the Office of Public Prosecutions announced they would not pursue the option to seek a life sentence on appeal.

 

Aggie Di Mauro and her son Alessandro Manno are our guests today on Australian True Crime. They're here to share their story with us, but also to tell us about their campaign to change the way our legal system deals not only with stalking but also with sentencing.

David Ranson is one of Australia's most experienced forensic pathologists.

 

I wrote a chapter about him in my book CSI I Told You Lies, in which he described traveling to Holland in 2014 to join the International Victim Identification Team after MH17 was shot down over Ukraine. David also worked in victim identification after the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004 and the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009.

 

David has given forensic evidence in some of Australia's biggest criminal cases, including those of serial killer Peter Dupas, the Walsh Street police shootings and countless Melbourne underground murders.

 

These days he's trying to move toward retirement, in his words, and concentrating on teaching, and he joins us on Australian true crime to talk about the kinds of things he's passing on to his students.

Teenagers Abby Williams and Libby German were dropped off at a popular hiking trail near the Monon High Bridge, just outside their hometown of Delphi, Indiana. About 40 minutes later, Libby posted a picture on her Snapchat account showing Abby carefully walking across the bridge. It was the last time they made contact with the outside world, although it wasn't the last time Libby recorded their surroundings. 

 

The girls were reported missing later that afternoon, and community members searched for them through the night. But sadly, their bodies were discovered nearby the following day. 

 

in October 2022, a local man was taken into custody. Who is he? Did he know the girls? Is there any truth to the rumors that other people may yet to be charged? The best person to ask these questions is without a doubt, journalist Susan Hendricks. 

 

*A note that this conversation was recorded in December 2023, so it may be behind in current trial developments.

It's been quite a season of high-profile defamation cases in Australia in recent years.

 

Geoffrey Rush, Craig McLachlan, Ben Roberts-Smith, and Bruce Lehrmann, to name a few.

 

Along with the risks of airing all of your dirty laundry for the world to see, a defamation case doesn't come cheap either. Lehrmann, who recently lost his defamation lawsuit against Channel 10, is rumoured to have legal fees amounting to more than 8 million dollars.

 

We're joined on Australian True Crime today by Victoria-Jane Otavski, a litigator with over 20 years of experience specialising in defamation law, to explain what defamation is and why these cases so rarely succeed in court.

]]> It's been quite a season of high-profile defamation cases in Australia in recent years.

 

Geoffrey Rush, Craig McLachlan, Ben Roberts-Smith, and Bruce Lehrmann, to name a few.

 

Along with the risks of airing all of your dirty laundry for the world to see, a defamation case doesn't come cheap either. Lehrmann, who recently lost his defamation lawsuit against Channel 10, is rumoured to have legal fees amounting to more than 8 million dollars.

 

We're joined on Australian True Crime today by Victoria-Jane Otavski, a litigator with over 20 years of experience specialising in defamation law, to explain what defamation is and why these cases so rarely succeed in court.

Anne Manne is a journalist and social philosopher.

 

Her new book, "Crime of the Cross", is about a paedophile network run by members of the Anglican Church in Newcastle in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

It's made me realise that the shocking details of the crimes committed by the Catholic clergy have almost blinded me to some of the other revelations brought into the light by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013).

 

This story has many similarities to those we've heard of the paedophile priest cluster in Ballarat, and the measures the Catholic Church went to to silence victims and protect offenders. However, there are also many significant differences.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Adrian Trevor Moore is one of Australia's worst rapists, and also a former member of the WA Police.

 

In 2018, investigators began contacting women to tell them that Moore had used the police computer system to run background checks on them. This lead to accusations of predatory behaviour, and eventually a warrant was executed on his home which uncovered a trove of photographs and videos of him sexually abusing heavily sedated women.

 

Over 200 individual women were featured in that material. One of those women, Josie, is today's guest on Australian True Crime.

 

In episode #460 of Australian True Crime, we interviewed Nicole Edwards, a former WA Police Officer who is also a survivor of Adrian Trevor Moore.

 

Like Nicole, Josie is critical of WA Police's decision to have the case investigated initially (and for some years) by Internal Affairs, rather than the Sex Crimes unit, and she's joined Nicole's campaign calling for a thorough external enquiry into the handling of the case.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Our guest today is Michelle Liddle. In February this year, she watched for the second time as two teenagers fought for their freedom after taking the life of her fifteen year old son, Angus Beaumont, in a Brisbane park in 2020.

 

They were aged just 13 and 14 at the time of the lethal stabbing. One was on bail for armed robbery and the other was on probation.

 

They both had significant histories of violent assaults. But even though Angus's final moments were captured on CCTV, the boys successfully appealed their initial convictions for his stabbing death and won a retrial.

 

That judge only trial began in December 2023 and ended with one of the boys being found guilty of murder and the other guilty of manslaughter. They were sentenced to nine years and six years respectively.

 

However, each of them is expected to serve around half of those sentences.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Today's episode is the story of one of Australia's infamous, flamboyant 1980s high fliers, the one and only Christopher Skase.

 

Christopher Skase was an Australian businessman who gained notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

Skase's empire collapsed in the early 1990s due to massive debts and allegations of corporate misconduct. He fled Australia for Spain in 1991 to avoid legal proceedings, leading to a highly publicised extradition battle.

 

Skase remained in Mallorca, Spain, until his death in 2001, evading attempts by Australian authorities to bring him back to face charges.

]]> Today's episode is the story of one of Australia's infamous, flamboyant 1980s high fliers, the one and only Christopher Skase.

 

Christopher Skase was an Australian businessman who gained notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s.

 

Skase's empire collapsed in the early 1990s due to massive debts and allegations of corporate misconduct. He fled Australia for Spain in 1991 to avoid legal proceedings, leading to a highly publicised extradition battle.

 

Skase remained in Mallorca, Spain, until his death in 2001, evading attempts by Australian authorities to bring him back to face charges.

Originally aired July 13th, 2017.

 

Sent on a simple errand to the local shops by her mother, six-year-old Kylie Maybury never made it home alive. Her body was found the following day, discarded in a gutter, but the circumstances of her death, and the identity of her killer remained unknown for 33 years. In the end, he was eerily close to home all along. Veteran crime reporter Keith Moor talks us through the details of the case, and the strange twists and turns in Kylie's case.

This is a truly heartbreaking case from Melbourne's gold rush heyday.

 

Although Australia is considered a youthful and progressive nation, we didn't start decriminalising homosexual acts until 1975.

 

On this episode, we travel back to the 1870s, when Melbourne was blossoming. Shaking off her convict roots and making her mark on the world stage as a prosperous European-inspired capital.

 

She could still be pretty inhospitable though, for anyone who didn't fit the mould...

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Our guest today is Nicole Edwards. She served in the Western Australian Police Force for 17 years until she retired on mental health grounds in 2023.

 

Nicole was a victim of serial rapist Adrian Trevor Moore, who was found guilty in 2022 of assaulting 13 women. He was also a WA Police Officer.

 

Nicole's position within WA police didn't mean her case was expedited or even that it was treated within the normal parameters of a sexual assault case. You see, because of Adrian Moore's position within WA Police, they decided to keep the investigation within their internal affairs department rather than send it to the well trained and experienced officers in the Sex Crimes squad.

 

As a result, the case and the victims were grossly mishandled. Nicole Edwards joins us today to tell her story.

In episode #342 of Australian True Crime, we met a man named Glen Fisher, who told us about the abuse he suffered in a so-called youth refuge in 1980s Kings Cross.

 

The place in question was called the "Homeless Children's Association Refuge", and it was run by one Simon Davies.

 

In 2022, Simon Davies was convicted of historical child sex offences against two boys in 1980s. One of those boys was Glen Fisher.

 

After that episode was published, we were contacted by a woman named Marie, who said she had more information about that story which she would like to share.

 

Marie's life has been an odyssey, to say the least. As you'll hear though, she comes from a very different background to the boys who ended up at the Homeless Children's Association Refuge.

 

We contacted the Australian Privacy Foundation (founded by Simon Davies) for comment, and you can see our correspondence with them on our Facebook page.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

We're 11 weeks into 2024 and 18 Australian women have been murdered so far this year. 

 

Today we are releasing a re-issue of episode #18, a case I know many of us have been remembering as the search for Samantha Murphy goes on.

 

It was 12 years ago that we first heard the name Allison Baden-Clay.

 

Like Samantha Murphy, we were told that Allison, a successful, vibrant pillar of the community, had disappeared into thin air after going for a walk. Her husband and family had also made tearful plays in front of the media as photos of her attractive, smiling face were circulated.

 

Journalist David Murray covered the case and wrote the excellent book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, and he joined us to talk about it.

It's estimated that around one third of sexual assaults committed against Australian children are carried out by other children, according to the Australian Center for Child Protection.

 

Australian children are increasingly displaying harmful sexual behaviours and there's a tendency within our society to minimise it and characterise it as normal sexual development.

 

Our guest on Australian True Crime today, Emma, was the victim of other children's harmful sexual behaviours when she was 13 years old.

 

We know that adult sexual predators tend to seek out vulnerable children to take advantage of.

 

Disturbingly, that approach seems to be instinctive. As you'll hear in this episode, Emma was definitely vulnerable when her attackers singled her out from the crowd.

A couple of years ago, there was a lady called Lynda living in a small community in Australia, who had bright pink keys.

 

She wanted them to be very visible so that she could find them quickly and get inside her house or car in the event that she was ambushed by her ex-partner.

 

One in night in 2020, though, she didn't make it inside in time, and was bashed and stabbed to death outside her own front door.

 

The following day, when her murder was reported on the news, it was particularly shocking for one family living not too far away: his former family.

 

The offender had been actively stalking his ex-wife, Stephanie, and their children right up until he murdered Lynda.

 

Stephanie joins us today on Australian true Crime to talk about her experience. We dedicate this episode to the memory of Lynda and to her family.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Dr. Hamish Mckenzie is the Detective Superintendent of the Western Australia Sex Crimes Division. That means he's the boss.

 

As you're about to hear, Sex Crimes is a very challenging area of policing, and Western Australia is the largest single policing jurisdiction in the world.

 

Policing, like everything else, is done differently in WA. But according to Hamish McKenzie, child sexual assault is the one area of law enforcement where egos really do take a backseat to results.

 

He joins us on Australian True Crime, which serving officers rarely do. So we're very grateful to talk about his work and how we can continue to work together in child protection.

Scott Keighran is a published poet.

 

If you Google him, though, you're more likely to find him described as an associate of the Rebels Motorcycle Club, an arsonist, a kidnapper, a home invader, and an attempted murderer.

 

Scott is well aware that his rap sheet is nothing short of terrifying. He has hurt and traumatized a lot of people.

 

However, in 2016, when an attempt to intimidate went wrong, he ended up paying a very high price himself.

Scott is well aware that his rap sheet is nothing short of terrifying. He has hurt and traumatized a lot of people.

 

However, in 2016, when an attempt to intimidate went wrong, he ended up paying a very high price himself.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

CW: This episode contains discussions of child sexual assault.

 

Retired Detective Sergeant John Breda narrowly escaped being murdered by an alleged child sex offender, Nick Newman, on January 26th, 2018.

 

It is alleged that Nick Newman was 26 when he entered a sexual relationship with a 14 year old relative of his ex wife. After the child reported Newman to the police, he had made threats of "wanting to hunt her down" as well as issuing death threats to his ex-wife and family.

 

He was wanted by the police on the day Breda and his team were informed of his whereabouts in a Maroubra pub.

 

The altercation between Breda and Newman didn't turn out well for either of them, but there's only one of them still around to tell the tale.

Sarah's grandfather murdered her grandmother and hid her under the floorboards.

 

This event has long since fallen from the news, but she joins us to share the many ways it has affected and still affects her family.

 

Sarah is a professional woman. She's married with young children, and she takes great pride in the ordered nature of her life.

 

It's a far cry from the chaos left behind for her father's generation by her grandparents, whose marriage came to a violent end in the 1950s.

 

Sarah's peaceful existence has required a lot of effort on her part. The family continues to be impacted by the chaos, dysfunction, and trauma from the gruesome

family headline of three-quarters of a century ago.

What secrets will he keep forever? Roger Rogerson is dead. What secrets will he keep forever? Infamous corrupt NSW police officer, Roger Rogerson, has died this week at the age of 83 from suffering a brain aneurism.

 

Rogerson was serving a life sentence for the murder of a 20 year old Jamie Gao. His conviction for that murder was somewhat ironic, given he proudly boasted of killing three drug dealers during his police career and gotten away with it.

 

The true extent of Rogerson's corruption and criminal activities may now never be fully uncovered.

 

Ray Mooney, an author, playwright and former inmate of Pentridge Prison, joins us this episode to provide valuable insights into Rogerson's notorious legacy.

She was a sex worker and drug user for some years and she sustained a brain injury through an unsuccessful suicide attempt, which accounts for her struggle to think of words sometimes.

 

Angie is one of a kind, as is her wife, Luna, who sat beside her during this recording. And you may hear her chime in from time to time.

 

We've spoken to sex workers before, but never this explicitly. And when I say explicit, I don't mean sexy. I mean, we're going to be talking about violence and sexual violence in a pretty graphic way at times.

It's even going to get gynecological. So if that's something that you are not comfortable with, then this one might not be for you.

Wanted is a show where host Jack Laurence sits down and interviews men and women from around the world who have been or who are currently wanted by authorities.

 

This episode is part one of a three part series on David McMillan. To listen to parts two and three, as well as all other episodes, go check out Wanted, wherever you get your podcasts.

 

Escaping Thai Prison P1 - David McMillan show notes:

 

David McMillan has lead a life that is almost unbelievable, its like something out of a Hollywood crime thriller.

 

Born in the UK to Australian parents David would travel back and forth between the two countries a few times until at the age of 10 his parents divorced and he, his sister and mother made the permanent move to Melbourne.

 

David was always different as a kid, he was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD, a sign of things to come?

 

At eighteen David got a job at the city cinema and by chance would meet some retired safe crackers, safe crackers who were looking to invest their money in the drug business. With no one that could source it for them David jumped in head first and thus changing the course of his entire life.

 

David made millions of dollars, before an Australian task force swooped and he would spend 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once he was out he decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK, with a stop off in Thailand, a decision that would see him arrested again and facing the death penalty.

 

Just two weeks before he was to be killed by firing squad David did something that no western has ever achieved, he escaped.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

In the last episode of Australian True Crime, our guest Arman Abrahimzadeh OAM told the story of his childhood and adolescence. It was an existence characterized by fear and violence in which he, his sisters and their mother eventually made a pact never to allow anyone to be left alone with his father. 

 

The patriarch of the family ruled with violence and financial control. Nevertheless, Arman's mother and her children did escape with nothing but a few clothes, and they began to create a new life for themselves.

 

After several years, his mother worked up enough courage to attend The Persian New Year celebrations at the Adelaide Exhibition Center, with hundreds of other people believing she'd be safe in such a large crowd. But later that night, Arman was woken by a terrible phone call. He was told his father, who'd also attended the event, had stabbed his mother. 

 

Today, Arman is a successful businessman in Adelaide, a member of that city's council and a member of the Order of Australia. Arman is a father, a husband, brother and he's an ambassador for Our Watch.

 

He and his sister's have started a foundation named after their mother, Zahra Abrahimzadeh. Click here to visit the Zahra Foundation website.

Arman is a high achiever by anyone standards, except possibly those of his own father. 

 

As you'll come to learn, Arman grew up in a home ruled by fear, and I must warn you that this will likely be a triggering conversation for anyone with experience of family violence. Arman's storytelling is vivid, and as much as every family is different, he manages to capture so many ways in which his family's story is all too common.

Sallie-Anne Huckstepp had never intended to be a whistleblower, but when her drug dealer boyfriend Warren Lanfranchi was shot and killed by crooked cop Roger Rogerson, she decided to speak out. A call that would eventually end her own life, but she took it regardless. 31 years on since her body was found floating in a duck pond in Sydney’s Centennial Park, her killer is still unknown.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Brent Simpson is a former sergeant-at-arms for the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.

 

Considering his childhood was marked by poverty, physical and sexual abuse, it's almost easy to imagine how he found community and connection within the bikie gang.

 

What is hard to imagine, however, is how someone could leave that club and commit their life to mental health advocacy - a path Brent has not only embarked on but continues to do so.

 

Be sure to tune in to Australian True Crime later this week for an episode that delves into Brent's childhood story.

Considering his childhood was marked by poverty, physical and sexual abuse, it's almost easy to imagine how he found community and connection within the bikie gang.

 

What is hard to imagine, however, is how someone could leave that club and commit their life to mental health advocacy - a path Brent has not only embarked on but continues to do so.

 

Be sure to tune in to Australian True Crime later this week for an episode that delves into Brent's childhood story.

This is the second part of a two part series with our guest, Arthur Bolkas.

 

In his late teens and early twenties, Arthur was pulling double duty as a promising young law student and an armed robber.

 

We discovered at the end of part one that Arthur was eventually captured after a very dramatic car chase through the streets of a busy inner Melbourne suburb.

 

We now pick up our conversation with Arthurs memories and reflections from his sentencing, incarceration and life after prison.

 

Arthur has now worked for many years as a Criminologist, activist and public speaker. He can best be contacted here on his Facebook page.

Ashleigh (not her real name) is a kind of woman we've all heard about many times, but don't often get to hear from.

 

A couple of years ago, Ashleigh received a letter from an inmate who is serving a life imprisonment conviction for his involvement in a double murder. They soon fell in love with each other.

 

Ashleigh joins us today to talk about their relationship, about the realities of courtship under the ever-present eye of corrections, and about her hopes for the future.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

In 2011, A young indigenous man by the name of Zak Grieve was sentenced to life in prison for a murder he didn't commit.

 

The murder of Ray Niceforo was commissioned by his former partner Bronwyn Malyschko, and carried out by her son Chris Malyschko and accomplice Darren Halfpenny.

 

Grieve was originally supposed to be an accomplice to the murder too, but changed his mind on the night.

 

Despite this, due to Northern Territory's mandatory minimum sentencing laws, Grieve was sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 20 years (eventually reduced to 12 years following a mercy plea).

 

Journalist Dan Box has been reporting on crime for decades and was unexpectedly drawn into this story and family on a very personal level.

 

He joins us to tell us about his new book "The Man Who Wasn't There" and the extraordinary man who emerged in Zak Grieve.

 

Dan Box's "The Man Who Wasn't There" is available to purchase now.

After one night of partying, Gwenda awoke on board an ocean liner. 24 hours later, she vanished.

 

Our guest today, Gideon Haigh, puts an inspiring amount of work and care into seeking the truth for long forgotten women into his books. His recent book, "The Girl in Cabin 350" is no different.

The current rise of Antisemitism and “White Power” groups in Australia is not unprecedented.

 

In fact, as recently as 1992, Russell Crowe’s career was launched by his role as a brutal skinhead in the seminal Australian film Romper Stomper.

 

Andrew Kirby is one of the men that movie was about and he joins us to talk about Neo Nazism in Australia, and his subsequent internal journey to reform.

The story of Robert Berchtold's double kidnapping of Jan Broberg is so bizarre and tragic, that you may find it unbelievable.

 

In the 1970s, Jan Broberg was kidnapped twice by family friend, Robert Berchtold. First when she was 12, and again when she was 14.

 

She was abducted twice because after the first time, Jan's parents signed affidavits stating they'd given Berchtold consent to take Jan away with him, which was a lie.

 

Although we may think we have come a long way from the culture that played a part in this horrifying story, when it comes to childhood sexual assault, the statistics haven't changed.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Lynn Cannon, an adored Perth mother of two, was brutally murdered by her ex husband Paul Cannon in late 2022.

 

The day before she was murdered, Paul learned she was in a new relationship.

 

Under false pretences, he convinced her to come to his house the next day. An argument escalated, prompting neighbours to call the police.

 

Despite multiple calls to 000, police took an hour and 15 minutes to arrive.

 

Lynn was an adored mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her loved ones are now taking action to ensure police response times for domestic violence calls never take that long again, with their proposed law: Lynn's Law.

Lynn Cannon, an adored Perth mother of two, was brutally murdered by her ex husband Paul Cannon in late 2022.

 

The day before she was murdered, Paul learned she was in a new relationship.

 

Under false pretences, he convinced her to come to his house the next day. An argument escalated, prompting neighbours to call the police.

 

Despite multiple calls to 000, police took an hour and 15 minutes to arrive.

 

Lynn was an adored mother, daughter, sister and friend. Her loved ones are now taking action to ensure police response times for domestic violence calls never take that long again, with their proposed law: Lynn's Law.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Alan Leek is a retired member of the New South Wales Police Service, in which he served for 34 years. 

 

In the early 1990s, Alan was rewarded for his excellence in management. When he was made the head police officer in Cabramatta, it was at the time the largest heroin distribution point in the country, a growing political flashpoint and spiraling ever faster, out of control.

 

The unique set of challenges that beset Cabramatta from the late 1980s created a criminal and cultural misery unlike anything else Australia had seen at the time. And it was up to Alan to rally his troops and to pull the divided and traumatized community together behind them. 

 

Alan is now the author of several books, with his latest being "Rendezvous with Death". All of his titles can be found at Big Sky Publishing.

In October 2019, Natalie Sands, her children and her mother suffered an unthinkably brutal attack at the hands of her father.

 

Natalie was doused in petrol and set alight by her father. Despite being able to escape her burning house with burns to 75 percent of her body, she watched helplessly as her five year old son, Orlando, and mother Antoinette, perished.

 

After leaving the scene, her father drove to the local Tamworth police station and handed himself in.

 

It was decided in 2021 that Natalie's father wouldn’t face trial over the crime due to the Judge accepting that he was likely suffering a neurodegenerative disease resulting is psychotic symptoms.

 

Natalie has been campaigning online to get a lawyer to reopen the case and hold her father “properly accountable”.

In 1995, Adrian Pendergast accepted an exciting job opportunity in South Africa. Less than a week after he got there, he was found dead in a jail cell.

 

For almost 30 years, his family have been trying to understand what happened and how he died. But it seems that everything new that they learn, it only leads to more questions.

 

Our guest today is Adrian's younger sister, Courtney.

 

Courtney only got to know her older brother until she was 15. She has asked for our listener's to reach out if anyone knows anything about Adrian. If that's you, please contact us at team@smartfella.com.au

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Our guest today, Nathan Crisfield, embodies a story of duality like no other.

 

From Albury, He was born into a tumultuous home life, with his father taking him under his wing at an early age to steal whatever they could off the back of trucks.

 

From ages 15 to 19, Nathan was out of school, using and dealing any drugs he could get his hands on. Remarkably though, he was also very capable and ambitious in his career as a truck mechanic. He quickly became foreman, then workshop manager at more than half the age of his fellow workmates.

 

This is all while selling and smoking copious amounts of ice. As you'll hear, this kind of dichotomy can only last for so long. Nathan's life soon becomes one of unbelievable chaos.

 

He descends so deep into a life of crime, that the fact that he has become who he is today is a true testament to the human capacity for change.

This was Nathan's life. Drug dealing, car theft and escaping prison. This was Nathan's life. This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Our guest today, Nathan Crisfield, embodies a story of duality like no other.

 

From Albury, He was born into a tumultuous home life, with his father taking him under his wing at an early age to steal whatever they could off the back of trucks.

 

From ages 15 to 19, Nathan was out of school, using and dealing any drugs he could get his hands on. Remarkably though, he was also very capable and ambitious in his career as a truck mechanic. He quickly became foreman, then workshop manager at more than half the age of his fellow workmates.

 

This is all while selling and smoking copious amounts of ice. As you'll hear, this kind of dichotomy can only last for so long. Nathan's life soon becomes one of unbelievable chaos.

 

He descends so deep into a life of crime, that the fact that he has become who he is today is a true testament to the human capacity for change.

Mary (not her real name) is a recently retired Victoria Police officer.

 

Mary's husband and father of her two children committed serious family violence for many years. He was also a Victoria Police officer - a very high ranking one.

 

Mary joins us to tell us about the attempts she and her children have made to have their allegations of family violence fully investigated by Victoria Police.

 

In 2021, Victoria Police announced the formation of a specialist unit to investigate cases of family violence involving its own employees. It was placed within the existing Ethical Standards Command, which investigates complaints against police.

 

Despite this, as you'll hear in this episode, there are still serious concerns in the way that Victoria Police handles their offending members.

 

We are also joined by Jeremy King, the Principal Lawyer and head of the Police Misconduct team at Robinson Gill.

 

Victoria Police have issued a statement in response to this episode's conversation. It can be viewed on the Australian True Crime Facebook page.

Ray and Jennie Kehlet's much loved Great Dane, Ella, wandered alone and dehydrated into a caravan park in Sandstone, WA in March 2015.

 

The phone calls that resulted from local police scanning Ella's microchip alerted both Ray and Jennie's families to the fact that something had gone terribly wrong during their latest adventure.

 

Eight years and one inquest later, many questions still remain.

 

Ray's brother Dave joins us on this episode of Australian True Crime to tell us the story of the last eight years from his perspective.

 

There is currently a two million dollar reward for information on Ray's death and Jennie's disappearance. If you have any information, you can contact Crime Stoppers at their website, or on 1800 333 000

Sarah spent decades explaining her self-destructive behaviour to people as a consequence of one terrible year of bullying in primary school.

 

Her abuser wasn't another child, but her principal, an elderly Catholic nun.

 

But while Sarah tried to overcome the trauma of that experience, and of one terrible incident in particular, by talking about it with friends and seeking counselling, it wasn't until she heard a line in a true crime podcast while driving her car that she realised the one detail she'd always kept to herself was the thing that was preventing her from healing.

 

Sarah contacted us at Australian True Crime because she wants to share what happened after she pulled her car over to the side of the road that day. She wants to share her story in case even one of you hears this true crime podcast and is set free the way she has been.

Dassi Erlich is living a life today she literally could never have imagined as a child. She couldn’t have imagined it because so much of what the rest of us take for granted was hidden from her by her parents and the other adults around her. Dassi and her six siblings were raised in the ultra-Orthodox Adass Israel community of Melbourne. you may have seen Dassi and two of her sisters on Australian Story, because their conservative sheltered upbringing was an illusion, far from being overly protected, they were actually being preyed upon in more ways than one.

Warning: please be advised this episode contains accounts of child sexual assault.

The next 34 years of her life are quite frankly, a complete mystery.

 

She had no friends, no community, and hardly any family contact.

 

In fact, her life was so isolated that when she went missing in 1999, there wasn’t a missing persons report with the police until 2006.

 

And this wasn’t because Arthur reported her missing - it was actually the subsequent result after both he and his mother, were found dead in their rural Queensland home.

 

Searching through his “museum like” house, full of antique furniture with their price tags still attached, they found an old letter from Susan that she had addressed to her mother.

 

This letter indicated that she had not just ran away, as Arthur had fleetingly suggested to the community years prior.

 

The complete mystery of Susan’s life and disappearance has always stuck with crime and investigative journalist, Paula Doneman, who is our guest for today’s episode.

She had no friends, no community, and hardly any family contact.

 

In fact, her life was so isolated that when she went missing in 1999, there wasn’t a missing persons report with the police until 2006.

 

And this wasn’t because Arthur reported her missing - it was actually the subsequent result after both he and his mother, were found dead in their rural Queensland home.

 

Searching through his “museum like” house, full of antique furniture with their price tags still attached, they found an old letter from Susan that she had addressed to her mother.

 

This letter indicated that she had not just ran away, as Arthur had fleetingly suggested to the community years prior.

 

The complete mystery of Susan’s life and disappearance has always stuck with crime and investigative journalist, Paula Doneman, who is our guest for today’s episode.

During the Great Depression, 32% of working age men were put out of work, with many of them resorting to drunken and violent lifestyles.

 

During this time, there was a significant spike in Australia's murder rate, with many so called "monsters" being birthed from the era.

This is part two of a two part series with our anonymous guest. If you haven’t yet listened to our previous episode, we highly suggest you go and listen to that one first.

 

Our guest is a recovering heroin addict, and in our previous episode, we delved into her early childhood years, and the chaos brought into her life at the hands of her mother. 

 

Concurrently to that, however, there was something else happening in her life. She and her younger sister, aged 8 and 6, were being groomed and sexually assaulted by their adult neighbour for almost 5 years. 

 

In fact, this particular part of her story motivated our guest to reach out to us initially, emphasizing the crucial fact that it's never too late to report abuse.

If you haven’t yet listened to our previous episode, we highly suggest you go and listen to that one first.

 

Our guest is a recovering heroin addict, and in our previous episode, we delved into her early childhood years, and the chaos brought into her life at the hands of her mother. 

 

Concurrently to that, however, there was something else happening in her life. She and her younger sister, aged 8 and 6, were being groomed and sexually assaulted by their adult neighbour for almost 5 years. 

 

In fact, this particular part of her story motivated our guest to reach out to us initially, emphasizing the crucial fact that it's never too late to report abuse.

Today's episode is part one of a two part series. Part two will be available this coming Thursday.

 

For reasons that will become apparent, our guest has chosen to remain anonymous.

 

Raised mostly in a single father household alongside her sister, our guest's upbringing was far from ordinary. Her relationship with her turbulent mother added to the complexity of her early years, as her mother's attempts to be involved often resulted in further pain and confusion.

 

Today, our guest is a law abiding citizen, who has had a long career in social work. Her past, however, was anything but. Despite being a smart kid, full of promise and adored by her father and teachers, she found herself developing a severe heroin addiction, and a subsequent lifestyle of crime to support that addiction.

Delving into UK cases that are scarily close to home, They Walk Among Us explores both, lesser-known crimes committed by seemingly ordinary people, along with examining the infamous cases that are splashed across the headlines.

 

The award-winning podcast has been praised by The Guardian, which called the show “a cult hit”; The Financial Times, referred to it as “sharply written”, and The Evening Standard applauded They Walk Among Us and its “expertly understated storytelling".

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

On the 20th of June, 2009, a heavily pregnant Krystal Fraser, 23 years old, checked herself out of hospital to go to a party in Pyramid Hill. A country town in the far north of Victoria. 

 

Krystal was intellectually disabled, and did not have any credit left on her phone to make any calls. One of the last sightings of Krystal that night, was meeting an unknown, well dressed man, who was waiting for her at the Pyramid Hill train station.

 

For a long time, local police did not consider Krystal to be a victim of foul play, and wrongfully believed she was responsible for her own disappearance. 

 

Our guest today, Dennis O'Bryan, is a former police investigator, and author of "Last Train Home". A book in which he delves deep into the events and people involved in Krystal's disappearance.

Australian True Crime is a podcast by Smart Fella Media. Your story matters and how you tell it matters even more.

]]> This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

This is a story about a man and his young son, Brad and Bevin Simmonds, who disappeared out in Cape York 20 years ago.

 

How could an experienced fisherman's boat disappear without a trace in broad daylight? In good weather and calm seas? How could everything on board, all the gear designed to float in case it fell overboard, disappear with it, and never, ever show up or wash ashore?

 

Today we speak to The Cape's producer, Justine A. Rosenthal.

 

More info:

 

The Cape is now available to be watched, streaming exclusively on Stan.

 

If you have any details about this case, you can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or on their website

Over the past four decades, Glen has tirelessly fought to hold his abusers accountable and shed light on the pervasive issue of institutional abuse that plagued Australia.

The above newspapers had alleged that Roberts-Smith committed acts of war crimes, bullying and domestic violence.

 

The civil trial ended in July 2022 after 110 days of evidence and legal submissions. It was dubbed one of the largest and most important defamation cases in Australian history.

 

On June 1st, 2023, Justice Anthony Besanko dismissed Roberts-Smith's case against the media outlets, finding that most of the allegations against him were substantially true.

 

Nick Mckenzie, one of the three journalists directly named in the defamation case, joins us on this episode to reflect on the last five years.

Through Lili's advocacy, a coronial inquest has been announced into her mother's disappearance for August 2023. 

 

If you have any information in regards to the disappearance of Tina Greer, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or on their website

That suspect's name is Lionel Charles Thomas. But don't get too used to it, because if there was one thing this guy loved, it was changing his name.

 

You'll have to keep your wits about you because over the course of this episode, as he lies cheats, murders, but also romances his way around Australia and New Guinea, Lionel will go by no less than three more names.

 

Despite his long and nefarious history, Lionel went mostly under the radar because of his incredible capacity to commit them on the same days as major historical events.

At that time, Leisl was 23 years old. She was happy, healthy and working in her dream job caring for horses.

 

But it was horses that brought her into contact with James Church, a much older man with whom she fell in love.

 

After her disappearance, Sandi discovered Leisl's relationship with Church was one of cruelty and heartache.

 

Ten years after Leisl's disappearance, Sandi and the rest of her family thought they may finally be on the verge of some kind of breakthrough. But James Church had one more cruel trick up his sleeve.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Our guest today is Boyd Unwin, a suburban tradie and father of three in his fifties, who's always thought of himself and his family as the epitome of normal and unremarkable.

 

Boyd has committed himself to understanding how he lost his daughter, Katie Haley, to her partner five years ago. Boyd and his wife Tania are now raising the child their daughter shared with her murderer. And bit by bit, they'll have to explain to that child why neither of her parents can be with her. They're doing this at a time when they thought they'd be settling into retirement and enjoying being grandparents.

 

The Unwin's are determined to open the eyes of other normal families to what they now see were red flags in Katie's relationship. They'd all grown to dislike her partner, but none of them believed she was in mortal danger in her home. If they had, they'd never have allowed her and her kids to be in that home for a single second, and that's the very important message Boyd wants us all to hear.

They'd all grown to dislike her partner, but none of them believed she was in mortal danger in her home. If they had, they'd never have allowed her and her kids to be in that home for a single second, and that's the very important message Boyd wants us all to hear.

Australian True Crime is a podcast by Smart Fella Media. Your story matters and how you tell it matters even more.

]]> Our guest today is Boyd Unwin, a suburban tradie and father of three in his fifties, who's always thought of himself and his family as the epitome of normal and unremarkable.

 

Boyd has committed himself to understanding how he lost his daughter, Katie Haley, to her partner five years ago. Boyd and his wife Tania are now raising the child their daughter shared with her murderer. And bit by bit, they'll have to explain to that child why neither of her parents can be with her. They're doing this at a time when they thought they'd be settling into retirement and enjoying being grandparents.

 

The Unwin's are determined to open the eyes of other normal families to what they now see were red flags in Katie's relationship. They'd all grown to dislike her partner, but none of them believed she was in mortal danger in her home. If they had, they'd never have allowed her and her kids to be in that home for a single second, and that's the very important message Boyd wants us all to hear.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Ray Mooney joins us again this week to tell us about his friend, Christopher Dale Flannery (AKA Mr Rent-a-kill).

 

Chris was a teenager when they first met in Pentridge Prison. Chris was not long out of the notorious Morning Star boys home in Victoria's Mt Eliza.

 

Over the following decades, they maintained their close friendship. While Ray Mooney went on to become a published author, playwright, director and educator, Chris went on to become Australia's best known hitman.

 

Chris disappeared in 1985. Ray says that since then, many have taken the opportunity to say things they wouldn't have dared say when he was alive.

 

Today, Ray sets the record straight and shares the true story of Christopher Dale Flannery's life, and what he believes is the most likely truth of his death.

Our guest today is Ray Mooney. He's in his seventies now, and for most of his life, he's been a celebrated writer of novels, plays, films, non-fiction books, and a university lecturer.

 

At a different time in his life, though, the only institution he was allowed inside of was the Bluestone College: The College of Knowledge, also known as Pentridge Prison.

 

Ray Mooney was convicted of rape when he was 19, and today we hear Ray's story, which is extraordinary in its own right, not least because of the honesty and openness he's prepared to bring to it.

The women are 26-year-old German Nancy Grunwaldt, reported missing on April 15th 1993. Getting around on a bike, she was spending some time at Beaumaris Beach, reading a book. What happened after that is a mystery…so far. Nancy’s never been found but she was declared deceased by the coroner in 2003. Read the reports here: https://www.magistratescourt.tas.gov.au/about_us/coroners/coronialfindings/g/182_of_2004

 

Italian woman Victoria Cafasso who was 20, was found dead on 11 October 1995 on Beaumaris beach. She’d been stabbed numerous times and had been beaten. Victoria was staying in the tiny hamlet of Beaumaris with her cousin and had been there less than a week. Read the Coroners’ report here: https://www.magistratescourt.tas.gov.au/about_us/coroners/coronialfindings/c/2005_tascd_125_-_cafasso,_victoria_anna_elizabeth

 

Tasmanian journalist and author Melanie Calvert was on a trip back to her home state not long after Victoria’s murder. It’s haunted her ever since and she spent years researching and wrote a book Tasmania’s Beaumaris Beach Mystery: What Happened to Nancy and Victoria?

There’s been suspects for Victoria’s murder and could it be coincidence that Nancy disappeared from the same place? The initial police investigation into Victoria’s murder has come under scrutiny too.

Melanie’s book is Tasmania’s Beaumaris Beach Mystery: What Happened to Nancy and Victoria? And it’s available online. There’s details in the show notes for this episode.

Italian woman Victoria Cafasso who was 20, was found dead on 11 October 1995 on Beaumaris beach. She’d been stabbed numerous times and had been beaten. Victoria was staying in the tiny hamlet of Beaumaris with her cousin and had been there less than a week.

Tasmanian journalist and author Melanie Calvert was on a trip back to her home state not long after Victoria’s murder. It’s haunted her ever since and she spent years researching and wrote a book Tasmania’s Beaumaris Beach Mystery: What Happened to Nancy and Victoria?

There’s been suspects for Victoria’s murder and could it be coincidence that Nancy disappeared from the same place? The initial police investigation into Victoria’s murder has come under scrutiny too.

Melanie’s book is Tasmania’s Beaumaris Beach Mystery: What Happened to Nancy and Victoria? And it’s available online. There’s details in the show notes for this episode.

He thought his dad was being too strict and he wanted more freedom. This was the time in Redfern when the inner-city suburb was the centre of Aboriginal life and activism and it was a tough place.

 

Jeffrey spent a lot of time on the streets, getting involved in minor offences a s a means of survival – namely stealing food to eat - but eventually this escalated to stealing cars and then, robbing banks. He started cycling through maximum security prisons which added up to 18 years of his life. He was always into fitness and taking care of his health.

 

During his last stint in prison, Jeffrey had one of those moments where he knew he had to change. And he did it through education and peer support and keeping fit and healthy. His passion is health and fitness – making it realistic and sustainable and role-modelling a different path for men, just like him. 

 

Jeffrey wears a lot of hats now, making the most of the life he’s made on the other side of prison. He’s a community leader, corporate speaker, and sought-after life and mindset coach. His latest online program is CUT THE BULLSHIT – which basically is encouraging people to make sustainable habit changes for a healthy, purposeful life.

On today's episode, we're talking about a terrible turn of events that landed him back in the middle of incredibly senseless violence, just as he was pulling his life together.


On the evening of May 30th 2005, three teenage boys brutally murdered Michael Thompson, 30, and teenagers David Lyons and Tyson Wilson, both just 17.


Our guest, who was literally on his way to Thompson's flat, was distracted that night by an old mate. It was a distraction that may well have saved his life, but it's also left him guilt ridden ever since.

Robyn Lewis’s life was, frankly, hectic and destructive for 37 years. Multiple addictions, trauma from a brutal childhood, crime…she was just trying to survive.

It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 


Is it that bad if people believe in conspiracy theories? According to our guests for this episode, at first it’s funny, irritating (we all had someone we know who was sharing things that seemed a bit off beam over the past three years) and seemingly ridiculous…until it’s not.


SOS and Sandee are two women who live in outer suburban Melbourne and have day jobs and families but they have also been deep diving into the world of places and spaces where people who believe in conspiracy theories and have such a distrust in Governments that they don’t acknowledge the laws that we all have to adhere to…like having a driver's licence, paying council rates and there’s more.


SOS and Sandee go to the protests, they watch endless videos and livestreams and are among a network of others who are doing important work to get people to understand this world and the people who have positioned themselves as leaders, or ‘gurus’, in many cases who are making lots of money from followers. Some also have disturbing political motives for what they are doing.

His mum Pamela and sister Kirsty join us for this episode.

 

Trevor’s life was up and down and at the time of his disappearance - he was using and dealing drugs but still in sporadic contact with his family.  


Investigators believe Trevor had been involved in a dispute with Lawrence Butler, the man he was sharing a house with prior to his disappearance. 

 

In 2009 Lawrence Butler was sentenced to 23 years in jail for Trevor’s murder before his conviction was quashed on appeal.  


It’s not the end though for Trevor’s heartbroken family.  


Missing Persons Squad detectives are continuing to investigate Trevor Tascas’s disappearance and there’s a $1M reward for information in relation to the person or people responsible for Trevor’s death.

 

Anyone with any information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or file a report online at crimestoppersvic.com.au

Mishel didn’t find the love she was looking for on the show, and a quick google will tell you a lot about Mishel’s life since the show ended. She’s now an only fans star and so far, she’s still single. 


Mishel Karen became the victim of a sophisticated scam from Everrise Brokers, through which she lost a large amount of her own money and friends and relatives of hers lost money to after taking her advice to trust her scammers.  


Sadly, many people are too embarrassed to report these crimes, but as you’re about to find out, even though Mishel now realises what’s happened to her and is speaking out about it, that doesn’t mean anyone has swung into action to shut the scam down and protect the rest of us.

Introducing... Hoaxed, the new series from Alexi Mostrous and Tortoise, who brought you Sweet Bobby.


In 2014, two children told police a shocking story: that they were being abused by a Satanic cult; a cult headed by their father and by parents and teachers at their school in the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead. The story was a lie. But on the internet, that didn't matter.


Hoaxed is an investigation into one of Britain's most serious-ever conspiracy theories. A story about a modern-day Satanic panic; about the victims whose lives were destroyed and about the conspiracists who spread the lie around the world. Oh, and it's about our hunt for the perpetrators - the people who forced the kids to lie - the ones who started it all.


You can listen to the rest of Hoaxed, wherever you get your podcasts.

Today's episode is the story of David Talley, the man serving an incredible prison sentence. David, like millions of others around the world, struggled with addiction, an addiction to crack cocaine. This addiction would drive David to make poor decisions, decisions that would see him fall into a cycle of prison time for petty theft to help pay for his habit.


After years of going in and out of prison and struggling with his addiction, David was yet again back in court after being arrested for a burglary on a gas station after hours. After being given bond and time to say goodbye to his kids David would make a heartbreaking decision, a decision which would change the course of his life forever.

In the 1930s, she was a single, gregarious career woman, living in a hotel in the Brisbane CBD. She worked for the Premiere William Forgan Smith and his wife, which afforded her to live a lifestyle that was out of reach for most women in conservative Brisbane at the time.


That lifestyle came to an abrupt end when she disappeared without a trace, one sunny day in 1938.


In the days and months to come, four heroic rescuers would die, one of her rumoured lovers would commit suicide, and a light would be shone on the city’s shady characters, from illegal abortionists to peeping Toms.

She was the senior grief counsellor in the palliative care unit. It was intense but rewarding work, and at 40 years of age, life was right on track for Wendy Davis.


But It was cruelly taken away from her on her youngest daughter's 11th birthday, when she was violently assaulted by a Telecom technician who was working at the hospital.


The technician was charged with common assault, for which he received two months probation. Then, for twenty six years, no one wanted to talk about what happened to Wendy. Wendy herself, tried to bury the memory.


That was until WA police realised that the technician who attacked Wendy that day, was Bradley Robert Edwards, now known as the Claremont Serial Killer, who was in their custody for the suspicion of murdering Jane Rimmer, Ciara Glennon, and Sarah Spiers.


Wendy's book "Don't Make a Fuss: It's Only the Claremont Serial Killer" is available here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/don-t-make-a-fuss-wendy-davis/book/9781760991227.html

But It was cruelly taken away from her on her youngest daughter's 11th birthday, when she was violently assaulted by a Telecom technician who was working at the hospital.


The technician was charged with common assault, for which he received two months probation. Then, for twenty six years, no one wanted to talk about what happened to Wendy. Wendy herself, tried to bury the memory.


That was until WA police realised that the technician who attacked Wendy that day, was Bradley Robert Edwards, now known as the Claremont Serial Killer, who was in their custody for the suspicion of murdering Jane Rimmer, Ciara Glennon, and Sarah Spiers.


Wendy's book "Don't Make a Fuss: It's Only the Claremont Serial Killer" is available here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/don-t-make-a-fuss-wendy-davis/book/9781760991227.html

Denyer had also stalked and terrified women - that’s one of the lesser known aspects of his horrendous offending.


Now 50, Denyer was sentenced to life in prison without parole, but the sentence was later appealed and reduced to a non-parole period of 30 years, meaning Denyer is eligible for release in 2023.


There’s a genuine fear from many that Denyer will be released - from the families of Natalie, Elizabeth and Deborah - but also the women who were stalked by Denyer.


Our guest for this episode is one of the family members who is speaking up.


Jake Blair was 12 days old when his mum Debbie was murdered by Denyer. Though he’s almost 30 he’s still known as Baby Jake to the Frankston community. He was a fluffy-haired newborn, cradled in the arms of his dad Garry in a picture that ran in Newspapers across Australia. 


Over the years, many people, including us, have wondered what happened to him. What was life like for Baby Jake?

In 2002 friends Therese Fox and Bronwyn Cartwright travelled to Bali – it was a dream trip that the two Geelong nurses had saved hard for. It was Therese’s first trip overseas and away from her young children.


On October 12th Therese and Bronwyn decided to go out to Paddy’s Irish Bar for their last night in Bali.


Deadly terrorist attacks on Paddy’s Bar and the Sari Club in Kuta’s party precinct killed 202 people - 88 from Australia including Bronwyn. Therese was critically injured with third-degree burns to 85 per cent of her body.


Therese is intensely private but years after the horror of the bombings and her slow, painful road to recovery, she felt that it was important to have her story on record - for her family, to honour Bronwyn and to acknowledge the people whose lives intersected with hers in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.


Therese turned to crime journalist and author Megan Norris, who you’ll know from previous episodes of Australian True Crime, to put her remarkable story into words… And you can read it in the book Out of The Ashes: The mother’s love that healed the scars of the Bali bombings.

He was a seasoned traveller who had friends all over the world.

 

Andrew Drake was stabbed to death in 2019. Andrew, 29, died on the lawn of a house in Batemans Bay on the NSW South Coast, as his sister Penny desperately tried to save his life. The property where he was killed was the home of then 18-year-old Daniel Sharpe, who lived with his parents David and Julie. 

 

Andrew and his sister Penny were invited over to the house for a drink - the kind of thing people do to get to know their neighbours. The night turned into a nightmare - resulting in Andrew’s shocking death. 


Daniel Sharpe was acquitted of murder, but found guilty of manslaughter by a New South Wales Supreme Court jury. 

 

It was a decision that shattered Andrew’s family and Lucy wanted to tell her their story, especially about what the jury didn’t hear.

 

Lucy is speaking up for Andrew, so his killer’s claims of what happened are not how Andrew is portrayed.

Some family members still believe the acquittal was appropriate and police never fully investigated alternative theories, while other family members believe it was a terrible miscarriage of justice and continue to pursue a second trial.

It contains a lot of background you need to know about Vanessa's own story, but it's also a unique insight into how one human being's life can be completely derailed by the intervention of another, particularly during childhood. Vanessa's story provides a perfect case study of what's known as the victim-offender overlap; which is to say most offenders of crime have been victims of crime first.

I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a story that shouldn’t be rushed. It’s not every day you have the opportunity to hear first hand how a well-behaved, studious, happy child, from a loving home found herself estranged from her family and living on the streets before her twentieth birthday. But that’s Vanessa’s story.

He was seventeen years old when two police officers, Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller were shot and murdered on Cochranes Road, Moorabbin, Victoria. Roberts was one of two who were convicted of the murders all those years ago. It's a very infamous case in Australia, and a very complicated one.

Forced adoptions in Australia, could it happen again? Australia in the mid twentieth century has a dark history of forced adoption. Women who did not fit the moral expectations of the time (usually those who were young and unmarried) had their children taken from them at birth, often with little to no information left behind for them to be reunited.

Our guest today, Lily Arthur, is one story of many, and it is an absolutely heartbreaking one. It is also a story of determination and grit, and the long fight Lily went through to seek justice for what happened to her and many others.

Our conversation today covers the events that led up to, and following, the Fitzgerald enquiry, which lead to custodial sentences for three former senior QLD ministers, and for the police commissioner, Terry Lewis. Joh Bjelke-Petersen, the longest running QLD premiere, was also sacked and tried for perjury.

Matthew Condon is as fascinated today as he's ever been by Queensland's history of corruption, which really is the kind of thing you would think is over the top if it were in a movie, but it's all very, very true...

It’s 17 years since Cindy Gambino’s ex-husband Robert Farquharson murdered their three sons, ten-year-old Jai, seven-year old Tyler and three-year old Bailey by deliberately driving his car into a dam on the side of the Princes highway, near Winchelsea, West of Geelong on father’s day in 2005.

 

Cindy Gambino died last week as the result of a medical emergency at her home in country Victoria. She was just 50 years old.

 

Journalist and author Megan Norris developed a close relationship with Cindy in the years after the boys’ deaths as they worked on a book together. The book is called On Father’s Day, and Megan was one of our first guests on Australian True Crime back in 2017. She joined us to talk about the extraordinary experience of writing that book.

Anyone who's fallen prey to coercive control, stalking, cat-fishing or domestic violence will know that the fantasies we're taught about romance can be very damaging when it comes to resisting overbearing partners and recognising red flags.

British philosopher and author Alain de Botton wrote the seminal book on the topic in 2016. It's called 'The Course of Love' and Meshel interviewed him way back then about the surprisingly inorganic and unrealistic origins of romance.

Surprise! It's yet another convention we've invented ourselves that's impossible to live up to and leads to lots of heartache.

So many of you have asked to hear Narelle again so here she is. You may remember I promised another episode with Rowland Legg this week and I haven’t forgotten but here’s the thing, due to unforeseen circumstance, Rowland can’t make our live show at the Yarraville club on April 8, so our old friend Narelle Fraser has agreed to step in for that one too.

You can get your tickets here.

 

That’s right, you can see Narelle, live on stage with Emily and I at the Yarraville club, you can ask her questions while she’s onstage and if you’re lucky, you might even get to take a selfie with her.

To celebrate, we bring you an episode of Narelle’s own podcast, ‘The Narelle Fraser Interviews’, featuring former detective Tim Peck. It’s always a treat to hear two detectives chatting and this conversation is very special. It does deal with severe mental health issues and suicide, so please be aware of that before you begin.

He and his team are also known for representing some of the most vulnerable people, including children, who enter the court system each day.

 

Bernie is quite literally, a fighter - he was a boxer and has been involved in the sport, in and out of the ring, since 1966. Bernie, a country boy, even has an Australian University Heavyweight title. He boxed, nightclub-bounced and grafted his way through a law degree at Melbourne University. 

 

On March 27, 1986 Bernie, then a young solicitor, was, fatefully, at the site of the Russell Street bombing just as the bomb detonated. He tended to young police constable Angela Taylor, who was fatally injured by the blast, dying in hospital weeks later. Bernie carried Angela away from the burning wreckage, comforting her until medical help arrived. The sights, sounds and smells that day have stayed with Bernie all these years - a dropped plate in a kitchen or the sound of a car backfiring will take him right back to the trauma.

 

Bernie and his law firm Balmer and Associates ( his lawyer daughter Anna works in the family business too), are known for their sense of social justice and he’s one of the highest profile, and respected lawyers in Victoria.

 

He’s the man you’d want to call if you find yourself in need of a lawyer.

Bernie is quite literally, a fighter - he was a boxer and has been involved in the sport, in and out of the ring, since 1966. Bernie, a country boy, even has an Australian University Heavyweight title. He boxed, nightclub-bounced and grafted his way through a law degree at Melbourne University. 

 

On March 27, 1986 Bernie, then a young solicitor, was, fatefully, at the site of the Russell Street bombing just as the bomb detonated. He tended to young police constable Angela Taylor, who was fatally injured by the blast, dying in hospital weeks later. Bernie carried Angela away from the burning wreckage, comforting her until medical help arrived. The sights, sounds and smells that day have stayed with Bernie all these years - a dropped plate in a kitchen or the sound of a car backfiring will take him right back to the trauma.

 

Bernie and his law firm Balmer and Associates ( his lawyer daughter Anna works in the family business too), are known for their sense of social justice and he’s one of the highest profile, and respected lawyers in Victoria.

 

He’s the man you’d want to call if you find yourself in need of a lawyer.

Damian investigated the 1982 disappearance of Sydney mum Lynnette Dawson for years, bringing the case to two coronial inquests. Lynette’s former husband Chris Dawson was charged with her murder in 2018 and is awaiting trial.


Damian features again in another major podcast that’s gripped listeners' attention worldwide. It’s the excellent BBC Sounds multi-episode podcast Fairy Meadow about 3-year-old Cheryl Grimmer’s haunting disappearance from Fairy Meadow Beach in Wollongong in 1970.


Damian and Detective Frank Sanvitale, were the detectives tasked with having another look at Cheryl’s disappearance. The case had basically gone nowhere for more than 45 years until the file was passed to them.


The NSW Attorney General Mark Speakman can give the Grimmer family their day in court. You can contact him here.


If you'd like to go one step further to assist the Grimmer family, you can also sign this petition - addressed to Attorney General Speakman - to help in the fight to find justice for Cheryl.

There is a $1 Million dollar reward from NSW Police for information about Cheryl’s abduction and murder.

Now retired from the New South Wales Police, Frank has moved the wheels of justice further for Cheryl’s shattered family more than had ever been done in the more than 50 years since her disappearance.


Frank, was teamed up in 2016 with Detective Sergeant Damian Loone and the pair set about looking into this long cold case, combing over boxes of stored evidence.


It was a confession made in 1971 by a then 17-year-old that was found in one of these dusty boxes and set in motion events that would see that person, who we can only identify as Mercury, charged with Cheryl’s murder in 2017.


But tragically, the case against mercury fell apart because the trial judge applied a retrospective law on the confession and would not allow it as evidence.


The collapse of the case against Mercury was the breaking point for Frank who left the police soon after.

In this re issued episode of Australian True Crime, originally aired in 2020, we hear about some of the cases that made him a legend before he agreed to take on the one that ended his 34-year career and has him back in the headlines now.

Australia is haunted by its missing children and none more so than William Tyrrell. On November 16 NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller sensationally announced a breakthrough in the investigation. The headlines have been extraordinary and at times misleading. Here are the interviews behind those headlines.

Who Killed Canberra Grandmother Irma Palasics? Episode 236:

 

On November 6, 1999, Canberra grandmother Irma Palasics was on the floor of her home.

 

Irma’s grandson John Mikita feels that the case is tantalisingly close to being solved but frustratingly, despite a few breakthroughs on the case and a $500,000 reward, no one has been arrested. Police believe that members of the Hungarian community in Melbourne can provide the vital clue to the identity of the people who killed Irma.

 

 

John Mikita runs and maintains a website https://www.whokilledirma.com.au/ that has lots of information and videos.

Hedley Thomas is an award-winning investigative journalist and podcast producer who brought us The Teacher’s Pet and The Night Driver podcasts. He is back with a new podcast series – Shandee's Story – where he goes back to the night of the 23-year old’s murder to find out who killed her and why.


For those of you not familiar with The Teacher’s Pet podcast, Hedley delved into the cold case of missing woman, Lynette Dawson, who disappeared on Sydney's Northern Beaches in 1982. The case remains unsolved some 39 years later. While her husband Chris Dawson pleaded ‘not guilty’ for her murder, he was charged and will stand trial next May. The podcast was withdrawn for reasons of potential pre-trial prejudice and is no longer available in Australia.


The Night Driver podcast follows the disappearance of 31 year-old Janine Vaughan, who was last seen getting into a red car after a night out in the township of Bathurst 20 years ago. The case went from 47 suspects to just 3, including a pharmacist, former Bathurst detective and aged care worker. Her sister, Kylie, and her family have continued searching since, the podcast giving them hope that justice may still be served.


Hedley joins Meshel Laurie this week to talk about those cases, but also about the unsolved crime that haunts his own family – a shooting at his home 19 years ago that still lives with them today.

It’s hard to imagine a job where you have to be vigilant all the time, being ready to attend to traumatic and unpredictable situations. But that’s what prison officers have to do every day. Social worker and therapist Bruce Perham has worked with hundreds of officers and he’s written a book called Code Blue: Prison Officer in Danger about trauma and PTSD in these first responders.


Through the course of his years of going in and out of prisons and hearing the day to day experiences of prison officers, Bruce came to understand that he was dealing with professionals expected to run toward unpredictably dangerous situations at any moment in the course of a work day. It’s a high risk occupation and one that we, as the general public, don’t really know much about.


Thanks to our Guest Bruce Perham.

There were only two unsolved murders in the state of Victoria in 1942, and they are heavily shrouded in mystery. These murders happened during World War II time, on the Bellarine Peninsula, in Queenscliff, in an area occupied by Australian troops who were patrolling and defending the coastline.


Early one cold, wintry morning in late May 1942, the bullet-ridden body of Army Driver Roy Willis was found on the side of the road. He had been shot a number of times with a military revolver.


In September 1942 17-year-old Gunner John Hulston went missing whilst on guard duty. His body was later found further down the coast. He had also been shot in the chest with an army revolver.


Former police officer and historian and researcher Bob Marmion, who lives on the Bellarine Peninsula, loves a good mystery and when he found out about these murders, and that they were still unsolved, the old detective skills he’d flexed in his 15 years in the job came back to life and he spent 10 years investigating and writing a book called Murder at the Fort.

Thanks to our Guest Bob Marmion.


His books are Murder at the Fort and The Price We Pay, about his experience with Post Traumatic Stress disorder.

Jack The Ripper Australian True Crime? Show Notes Ep 230 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily Webb

Was a man convicted of murder in Australia in the late 19th Century also responsible for the Jack the Ripper murders in London?

Far from being a Ripper 'fan', author Garry Linnell is intrigued by Victorian history. In his new book ‘Devil’s Work’, he doesn't just retell the story we're so familiar with but uses it as a starting point to take us further into the social upheaval of the time, both in England and in Australia, where his suspect ended his days. Prepare yourself for some truly fascinating revelations about the formative years Australian culture, including a most unexpected cameo appearance by an early Prime Minister and his wife.

Well I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some of the best people I’ve ever met have been to prison. Here’s another one. Catherine from Horsham went to jail, and she’s thoroughly lovely, in fact, I bet you can totally relate to her.

 

I'm a bit delirious with our endless lockdown I have to admit. I don't think I'm ever going to be released from my home or ever hug another adult again. I'd probably love this if it was a book but this as a life sucks a big bag of dicks. It was very nice to zoom with Catherine. Our poor guests. Do you think they realise how desperate I am for their company? 

Anyway. All my love to you. I'll go and have another conversation with my dog now. Thank you so much for listening.

Well I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some of the best people I’ve ever met have been to prison. Here’s another one. Catherine from Horsham went to jail, and she’s thoroughly lovely, in fact, I bet you can totally relate to her.

 

I'm a bit delirious with our endless lockdown I have to admit. I don't think I'm ever going to be released from my home or ever hug another adult again. I'd probably love this if it was a book but this as a life sucks a big bag of dicks. It was very nice to zoom with Catherine. Our poor guests. Do you think they realise how desperate I am for their company? 

Anyway. All my love to you. I'll go and have another conversation with my dog now. Thank you so much for listening.

What does organised crime have to do with supply chains…and how is forensic science used to trace things like gold, diamonds and even food.


These were the questions I had for Western Australia based Cameron Scadding who is a Forensic and Analytical Chemist and founder and Managing Director of a company called Source Certain International.


Over the course of his career Cameron has worked on some fascinating and strange cases using forensic science to help solve crime.


and he’ll tell us about one of these cases in more detail - the theft of gold from a mine in Kalgoorlie, the hub of the Western Australian goldfields. 


Cameron and his team also work to reduce the ways criminals can infiltrate the supply chains of products that we all rely on…even though we may not know it.


Re. The gold that was stolen in the Operation Icarus case, Cameron calculated that based on this year’s prices (2021) (which is around $80,000AUD per kilogram) the gold recovered (and remember that it’s thought that more gold was stolen than was recovered) it was worth $800,000AUD.


Thanks to this week’s guest Cameron Scadding, founder and managing director of Source Certain International.


If you’re interested in learning more about organised crime, Emily guest hosted a podcast episode for the ATO’s podcast Tax InVoice about financial crime called “Lying, cheating thieves”. Listen here.


If you’re digging the topic of crime trends Episode #190 of Australian True Crime is with criminologist Don Weatherburn.

Dr Joanna Glengarry studied for 8 years to be a surgeon but not long after completing her studies and entering the theatre she realised her true passion was forensic pathology. In her native Auckland, that meant another 5 years of formal study, just to get an introduction at the city mortuary. She was taken on as a Saturday volunteer.

Fortunately for Joanna, but unfortunately for Auckland, the mortuary was severely understaffed, and they had a lot of violent deaths, so she quickly picked up more shifts, even paid ones, and in no time at all Dr Glengarry became a very handy forensic pathologist. SO handy in fact that she was poached of course, by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine or VIFM in Melbourne.

Dr Glengarry is one of the pathologists featured in my book CSI Told You Lies.

The legendary Sandra Pankhurst, made famous as The Trauma Cleaner in the brilliant book by Sarah Krasnostein, passed away last week. Although she battled health issues for some years, Sandra never lost her sense of humour, her incredible generosity or her capacity for love. She was genuinely one of the most loving human beings I’ve ever met.

A lot of the actual cleaning that Sandra and her team of trauma cleaners did, was in the homes of hoarders. They were hired by councils around Melbourne to go in and clean up homes that were made literally uninhabitable by people who were emotionally unable to throw anything away.

Hoarding is actually a mental illness, and Sandra understood that implicitly. She approached hoarding clean up jobs as mental health jobs, and she went into those people’s homes with compassion and sensitivity, and never wearing any kind of protective gear, not even rubber gloves which is extraordinary given the various bio hazards she often faced.

We're re issuing our Sandra Pankhurst episode this week in her honour. She will be greatly missed.

Australian journalist Eileen Ormsby literally wrote the book on the Dark Web. In fact, she’s written 7 books about it, but it was her first book, “Silk Road”, released in 2014, about the so-called eBay of hard drugs, that began the exposure of the darkest corners of the internet to the world.


A year after Silk Road’s release, Eileen sat in a courtroom looking at a man who was once the internet’s most wanted and illusive trafficker of violent child abuse material. His online name was “Lux”, but his true identity was shocking.

Most notably, we don’t have to use the pseudonym “Jason” when talking about her

person responsible for her death last week in the inquest brought about in no

Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily Webb


Ginger Gorman is an award-winning journalist and the author of Troll Hunter. She’s always had great passion for her work, and she’s been driven by equal parts creativity and curiosity. In 2011, those forces led her to a home in Far North Queensland to record an interview with a family. It was meant to be a short radio piece about diverse families, but Ginger had no way of knowing that it would change her life and lead her into some of the darkest corners of the modern world.

Ginger Gorman is an award-winning journalist and the author of Troll Hunter. She’s always had great passion for her work, and she’s been driven by equal parts creativity and curiosity. In 2011, those forces led her to a home in Far North Queensland to record an interview with a family. It was meant to be a short radio piece about diverse families, but Ginger had no way of knowing that it would change her life and lead her into some of the darkest corners of the modern world.

Journalist Nina Young made a podcast documenting her search for the truth about her father. It’s called My Father the Murderer.

Nina uncovered much more than she could ever have imagined, and more than her mother Denise had ever wanted to know. Both Nina and Denise join us to talk about their impressions of the man in question, Allen Ladd and his crimes. We’ll also talk about the profound impact on their relationship of not talking enough about him for most of Nina’s life and then talking about little else for the last two years.


The book, My Father the Murderer is available now.

When it comes to reporting a sexual assault – if the assault has just happened,

 

·      go somewhere safe, call triple 0 and ask for police.

 

·      Don’t disturb the area where the assault happened.

 

·      Don’t bath or shower.

 

·      Don’t eat or drink anything.

 

·      Don’t wash or discard the clothing you wore during the assault.

 

 

When it comes to reporting historical sexual assault,


that’s any sexual assault that happened days, weeks, months or even years ago, it’s never too late.

 

Delays in reporting sexual assault are very common for lots of reasons.

 

If you wish to report historical sexual abuse involving institutional or religious organisations, there’s a dedicated taskforce you can contact. It’s called the Sano Taskforce. You can phone 1800 110 007, or email sanotaskforce@police.vic.gov.au

Can Hard Cuddles End Family Violence? Show notes for Episode 206:

Your hosts are Meshel Laurie and Emily Webb

With thanks to James Harding and Steve.


For one family at least, connecting with James Harding’s Hard Cuddles organisation was the intervention that made the difference. Steve was fresh out of jail when he met James Harding. He was a convicted domestic abuser, helpless against his addiction, on the verge of losing his children and still blaming his partner for his troubles. He’s now sober and helping other men through the Hard Cuddles program.

 

Both Steve and James Harding join Emily Webb for this episode of Australian True Crime.


You can find out more about James Harding and Hard Cuddles here and read his book HARD CUDDLES


For free phone counselling 24 hours a day you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14

Bret Christian is a journalist from Perth, in fact he's a newspaper owner and he's been following the Claremont serial killer case from the very beginning. Now, after sitting through every day of the trial he's written the definitive book, Stalking Claremont, and he joins us exclusively to talk about it. 

I've read it and it's great. It's a very intense story, especially when you think about what a great mystery it was for so long. To find out how obvious this guy actually was... well it's just mind-boggling. I hope you like the episode. “After The Night” The Stan Original documentary series about Perth's first serial killer is streaming now.

]]> The Claremont Serial Killer. Bret Christian is a journalist from Perth, in fact he's a newspaper owner and he's been following the Claremont serial killer case from the very beginning. Now, after sitting through every day of the trial he's written the definitive book, Stalking Claremont, and he joins us exclusively to talk about it. 

I've read it and it's great. It's a very intense story, especially when you think about what a great mystery it was for so long. To find out how obvious this guy actually was... well it's just mind-boggling. I hope you like the episode. “After The Night” The Stan Original documentary series about Perth's first serial killer is streaming now.

Stalking is prevalent in Australia. There are hundreds of cases reported every year. These people’s existence have been besieged by a stalker. Survivors often are voiceless and have no place to tell their stories. This podcast is giving a voice to these victims. A place to tell their stories. Hopefully we can help others who are in this terrible situation to fight back.


Bringing up children is a hard job any day of the week. But throw into the mix two young children with maladaptive behaviour, and a young mother who has just undergone spinal surgery, leaving her in a wheelchair during recuperation. Now, what was needed here was a nanny who could fly in like Mary Poppins and help Shannon with the children and chores. What flew in was a mother's worst nightmare.

If you or someone you know is being stalked please reach out for help:

 

Literally millions are stalked every year, yet there is still so much stigma, silence, and shame around this subject. It’s time we speak up. Together, we can all break the silence on this unacceptable, illegal, and far-too-widespread behaviour.

Warning: please be advised this episode contains graphic content.


The Still Not Asking For It Project was born in July 2014. Rory was pregnant and when her and her partner discovered they were pregnant with a girl, the first thing someone said was 'well, time to buy a gun'; it was then that the shocking nature of embedded rape culture slapped me across the face.

 

Australian girls have a 1 in 4 chance of being sexually assaulted at some time in their life. Australian men have a 1 in 23 chance (80% of those assaults occurring before age 10), members of LGBTQIA+ community have a 1 in 2 chance and rates of sexual assault for those with an intellectual disability stand at 90%. We have a problem and SNAFI aimed to do something about it.

Journalists Nina Funnel and Sherelle Moody discovered a very big problem with a new piece of legislation passed in Victoria in February 2020. They’ve been helping rape survivors lobby the Victorian Attorney-General Jill Hennessey for several months demanding a fix for the problem without meaningful engagement let alone success. On August 26, Nina published an opinion piece about the legislation on news.com.au which has caused major upheaval in the survivor community and terse acknowledgement from Government, (along with a healthy dose of gaslighting from certain sections of the media.)

Nina Funnell joins us with the facts, as does a newly silenced survivor.

Bruce was gold fossicking in the remote Palmerville Station area in Cape York, Australia when he was murdered. His body has never been found and a rogue, outback couple Stephen and Dianne Struber were convicted of his murder.


Thanks to Fiona’s immense efforts The “no body, no parole” legislation was introduced. The Strubers will never be released from prison because they deny they murdered Bruce. 


Fiona still holds hope Bruce's remains will be found and continues to push for information so she can bring Bruce home. Fiona tells us about her latest step in her quest to find Bruce. 


Previously we spoke with author Robert Reid who wrote about the case in his book Murder on the River of Gold (episode 122).

The conviction was overturned in 2009, but Stafford is still locked in a legal battle with the QLD Police Service to have a report into their handling of the case made public.


In the meantime he still faces scepticism and innuendo, including from a controversial episode of Channel 7's recently axed Sunday night program.
