    FORENSICS: Female perpetrators of domestic violence

    For 20 years, Sheree Spencer subjected her husband to horrific physical, emotional, and financial abuse. Similarly, Jordan Worth controlled, beat, stabbed, starved, and tortured her boyfriend, becoming the first woman in UK history to be convicted of coercive control-related offences. As society grapples with the overwhelming issue of men's violence against women, our understanding of domestic violence is expanding, and we're uncovering the lesser-known reality of female perpetrators and male victims. In this episode, Dr. Jenny Mackay, a forensic psychology lecturer with expertise in women who commit interpersonal violence, reveals the nuanced differences and similarities between male and female perpetrators, and what these insights mean for tackling domestic abuse in all its forms.

  2. DETECTIVES: The Redfern Double Murder

    DETECTIVES: The Redfern Double Murder

    In 1997, police were on high alert, as gang wars were threatening to take over Sydney. Armed bikies were rampaging through the streets, often in stolen vehicles, wreaking havoc and committing brazen crimes in busy public areas.  On one warm day in November, general duties officer Jeff Garland spotted two men with their hands concealed in heavy trench coats rush into a silver porsche.  Immediately, something seemed off. The coats when it was so warm, the hands in their pockets and the flash car. He could’ve easily let them go, but instead he followed his hunch and pursued the two men.  Join host Brent Sanders as Jeff unpacks this case and a number of others from his time in the force.  If this content affects you, the number for Life Line is 13 11 14.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FORENSICS: How plankton unmasked a murderer

    In 2012, the body of Federica Mangiapelo was found by a lake in Italy. The coroner declared it a natural death, with the main suspect in the case claiming he was nowhere near the scene. But one tiny organism, invisible to the naked eye, proved otherwise. Dr Paola Magni is a pioneer in aquatic forensics, a highly specialised and innovative form of criminal investigation. In this episode hosted by Kathryn Fox, discover how everything from plankton to barnacles can help bring criminals to justice and provide crucial answers to grieving families.

    DETECTIVES: Investigating sexual predators in the 1990s

    Without the internet, police were unable to track offender behaviour, and heavily relied on victim survivor testimony.  These interviews were crucial, and required care and empathy, as one misstep, and evidence could be lost and a victim survivor left unheard.  Former detective Andrew Patterson was part of a special task force investigating paedophiles in Perth, and was the one who spoke to hundreds of victim survivors.. One morning, he received information about a sexual predator, and descriptions of an underground chamber with shiny chrome walls. He and his team set about investigating the offender, and finding survivors. He sat down with host Brent Sanders to explain this case, and others from his career.  This content contains references to child sexual abuse, if this content affects you, the number for Life Line is 13 11 14.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    FORENSICS: Inside the $24 billion illegal wildlife trade

    The illegal wildlife trade is a multi billion dollar industry, raking in an estimated $24 million globally. And in Australia, our unique reptiles are hotter commodities than ever, with single animals fetching tens of thousands of dollars on the black market. This lucrative trade attracts in criminals from transnational organized crime networks, who exploit wildlife trafficking to test illegal drug importation routes and make a fortune. Among those entangled in this dangerous business was former NRL star Martin Kennedy, who played for the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos. In this episode hosted by Kathryn Fox, hear from Dr. Greta Frankham, a wildlife forensic scientist heading Australia's only accredited animal forensics lab. Uncover how cutting-edge science is helping to crack down on wildlife crime, protect our precious biodiversity and disrupt organised crime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    DETECTIVES: The Christmas Card Confession

One of the friends, Terry, died at the scene, the two others escaped with minor injuries.  Investigations to find who was responsible began, but, both friends denied being the driver.

    FORENSICS: Fingerprinting the human voice

    Remember when the internet erupted over whether a viral audio clip was depicting the name ‘Yanny’ or ‘Laurel’? Or did you know over 20% of people are convinced ABBA is singing ‘see that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen, instead of the actual lyrics ‘see that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing in queen’? These playful debates light up our social media feeds, but what happens when misheard words have far more serious consequences, like in a videotaped murder confession or a panicked emergency call? Dr Phil Rose, is a speech scientist specializing in forensic voice comparison and disputed utterances. In this episode, discover why no one can say the same word twice in exactly the same way, explore the limitations of ear witness accounts, and delve into the implications of deep fakes on the future of forensic voice identification.

    DETECTIVES: The Elisabeth Membrey Case

    Just before midnight on the 6th of December 1994, Elisabeth Membrey arrived home from her shift at the Manhattan Hotel in Melbourne.

But, as the case went to court - it soon turned from a successful investigation to Tim tragically spiralling into a dark and near fatal place. Tim sat down with host Brent Sanders to talk about this case, and the dark consequences of policing.  For more of Tim's story, his book The Invisible Obvious is out now.  If this content affected you, the number for Life Line is 13 11 14.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
