    Shortcut: Rigby Fielding's Family Needs Answers

    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. 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.

    Shortcut: The Untold Stories Of Missing Australians

    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. 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.

    Shortcut: Rockstar, Race Car Driver, Supreme Court Judge: Lex Lasry

    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. 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.
