    The Lindt Cafe Siege

    On a Monday morning in December 2014, customers sit down for coffee in Martin Place. Minutes later, a shotgun is produced and the doors are locked.

  3. The Scott Johnson Case

    23 FEB

    The Scott Johnson Case

    Sydney, December 1988. Twenty-seven-year-old American mathematician Scott Johnson is found dead at the base of cliffs at North Head. He had moved to Australia to build a life with his partner, splitting his time between Canberra and Sydney while completing his PhD. His clothes are discovered folded near the cliff edge, and within months his death is ruled a suicide — but over the decades that follow, questions about that conclusion refuse to settle.

    The Disappearance of Graeme Thorne

    Sydney, July 1960. Eight-year-old Graeme Thorne disappears while waiting for a lift to school in Bondi. His family are ordinary — a travelling salesman, his wife, and their two children, living in a rented duplex. Three weeks earlier, however, Bazil Thorne had won £100,000 in the Opera House Lottery — and the media published their names and home address. Hosted on Acast.

    9 FEB • NED KELLY GANG ONLY

    The Backpacker Murders: Unearthed

    Dive deeper into the Backpacker Murders — one of Australia’s most notorious crimes. This Unearthed episode explores the unresolved questions that sit beyond the verdict: whether Ivan Milat acted alone, the possibility of additional victims, investigative failures, and why the case continues to resist full closure decades later.

  6. The Backpacker Murders, Part Three

    26 JAN

    The Backpacker Murders, Part Three

    Police have unearthed a total of seven bodies when they conclude their search at Belanglo State Forest. Attention now turns away from the forest and toward finding who is responsible. Thanks to Paul Onions, a survivor of an earlier attack in the same forest, Task Force Air gets its breakthrough. On the 5th of May 1994, police fly Paul to Australia and show him a series of images. He identifies the man he says attacked him. His name is Ivan Milat. Hosted on Acast.

  7. The Backpacker Murders, Part Two

    19 JAN

    The Backpacker Murders, Part Two

    Police have just uncovered a fifth body in Belanglo State Forest. The victims span years of disappearances but a pattern is appearing; they all vanished while hitchhiking along the hume highway. Task Force Air has been formed to coordinate the investigation, bringing together missing-persons cases, forensic evidence, and search operations. What remains unclear is whether the forest has revealed everything it contains. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  8. The Backpacker Murders, Part One

    12 JAN

    The Backpacker Murders, Part One

    For decades, the road between Sydney and Melbourne has been a trusted passage — a route taken by families, freight drivers, and young travellers chasing work or experience. In the late 1980s, hitchhiking along this corridor is common and unremarkable. But when multiple travellers vanish without witnesses, a forest just off the highway begins to emerge as something more than a place on the map. Hosted on Acast.
