  1. FORENSICS | The Keinbah Trial Track

    1 DAY AGO

    FORENSICS | The Keinbah Trial Track

    What if a prevention of domestic violence was hiding in plain sight – on four legs? Research shows that in homes where abuse happens, pets are often victims too. So, could vets be the missing link in identifying and addressing domestic violence? Should they have the same mandatory reporting requirements as doctors and teachers? Today’s guest, Dr Lydia Marwood, knows just how intertwined abuse of animals and humans is. She’s a forensic veterinary pathologist regularly tasked with performing necropsies of animals or animal remains suspected to be victims of crime. Lydia led the investigation that unearthed a mass grave of 99 greyhounds in NSW’s Hunter Valley—a discovery that shook the state and contributed to a ban on greyhound racing.

    REWIND | The evidence that proves Ivan Milat didn't act alone

    A long standing theory, but one ballistics supports, at least in the mind of some of those who worked the case, is that Ivan Milat didn't act alone and that there were multiple shooters at several of his crime scenes.  Host Kathryn Fox sits down with one of Australia's most respected forensic experts, Gerard Dutton to understand why some think there was more than one shooter, and how specific ballistic evidence supports this.  If you or anyone you know needs help: Lifeline (Crisis support and suicide prevention) 13 11 14 1800 Respect (National sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line) 1800 737 732 Men's Referral Service (National counselling, information and referral service for men looking to change their behaviour) 1300 766 491 Full Stop Australia (National violence and abuse trauma counselling and recovery Service) 1800 385 578 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    REWIND | Strike Force Raptor

    A group of bikies converged on Sydney airport. Within minutes, one was dead and others injured. It was an incident that set off one of the world's most intense and effective gang operations, and led to a plethora of law changes and high profile convictions.  Deborah Wallace is a titan of NSW Police. Retiring in 2019 after 36 years in the force, she became known across Australia as 'The Gangbuster', after successful operations in the intense region of Cabramatta, and then the aforementioned Strike Force Raptor.  The beginning of her career though was much more abstract. She was involved in one of Australia's most horrific cases. The rape and murder of Anita Cobby in 1986. Understand the impact of that case on Deb, and Australia as a whole as Brent Sanders steps through the career of one of Australia's most decorated police officers.  If you or anyone you know needs help: Lifeline (Crisis support and suicide prevention) 13 11 14 1800 Respect (National sexual assault, family and domestic violence counselling line) 1800 737 732 Men's Referral Service (National counselling, information and referral service for men looking to change their behaviour) 1300 766 491 Full Stop Australia (National violence and abuse trauma counselling and recovery Service) 1800 385 578 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
