The citizen sleuth investigating cold cases: Karina Berger Pt. 1

Former solicitor Karina Berger walked away from the law to become the researcher and producer behind Australia's biggest true crime investigations with investigative journalist Hedley Thomas, including Bronwyn and The Poisoned Wife. In Part 1 of this interview, Gary Jubelin sits down with Karina to unpack how legal analysis and investigative journalism collide to crack cold cases — from a suitcase of documents to the painstaking work of uncovering facts that force police to reopen cases. In this episode: • Why Karina left law to hunt the truth in cold cases • Inside the research behind The Poisoned Wife investigation • How podcasts are forcing the system to revisit unsolved deaths • What it really takes to turn boxes of files into evidence You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

A locked suitcase, Strychnine poison, and the unsolved death of Rosslyn McQueen: Karina Berger Pt. 2

Rosslyn McQueen was 30 years old, 22 weeks pregnant, and found dead on a kitchen chair in her rural Victoria home in April 1986. No police investigation was conducted at the scene. Her death was written off as natural causes. Three months later, toxicology came back. She had died from a fatal dose of strychnine. Gary Jubelin sits down with solicitor turned citizen sleuth Karina Berger, the researcher behind The Poisoned Wife with investigative journalist Hedley Thomas to walk through how a case collapses when the first 48 hours are lost, and how investigative podcasting is now dragging it back into the light. In this Episode: Why the GP's refusal to issue a death certificate triggered the autopsy that cracked the cause of death What a coronial inquest found in 1987 — and why the trial that followed was discontinued The husband's claims about Rosslyn’s health, and what the records actually showed How former private investigator Rex Bakes ended up sending Hedley Thomas a padlocked suitcase of documents What new information the podcast has already generated, and what a police reinvestigation would take You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

The fast money & dark nights that led to prison: Natascha Consigli Pt. 1

Raised nomadically across India, France, Italy and Spain, Natascha Consigli's childhood ended abruptly at age 10, when her mother was killed in a head-on collision with a truck. What followed was a life lived at the extremes — from air hostess to stripper to prison for her involvement in a multi million dollar drug operation. This is a raw, unflinching account of addiction, survival, and the long road to accountability. Natascha talks about quitting ice overnight, meeting her drug-dealing partner in rehab, why bikie clubhouses felt like the safest place to work as a stripper, and how prison forced her to confront her own privilege. In this episode: Losing her mum at 10 and raised across the world — how childhood shaped her choices From air hostess to stripping — money, power and danger in the clubs Ice addiction, rehab and the relationship that led to drug dealing Prison life, shame, privilege and taking full responsibility Redemption, advocacy and rebuilding after release See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Surviving day one in maximum security women's prison: Kerry Tucker Pt.2

In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with Kerry Tucker, former prisoner turned prison reform advocate to track her extraordinary 20-year redemption. Inside, Kerry became known as the "jail lawyer." She kept daily diaries, completed a Master of Arts through Swinburne University (the first Australian university graduation ever held inside a prison), wrote a children's book for incarcerated mothers that's still in circulation today, and began writing parole letters for other women, going from almost no women getting parole to 38 at her lowest count. She spent her final 6 months working in a law firm in Werribee, left prison on a Friday and was lecturing at university on the Monday, went on to complete a PhD, and has spent two decades advocating for prison reform, education and fraud awareness. That work was formally recognised in November 2022, when the Magistrates' Court of Victoria spent and removed her criminal and prison record with the endorsement of the Victorian Chief Commissioner of Police, the Attorney General of Victoria, the Assistant Commissioner of Corrections and the Chief Magistrate.

Katherine Knight: The life of Australia's most shocking female killer | Roje Augustin Pt. 1

What Katherine Knight did to her partner John Price wasn't just murder, it was something far more twisted. Katherine was a woman consumed by two things: a crippling fear of abandonment, and an insatiable need for control, enforced through violence, manipulation, and sexual exploitation. Most Australians know the horror of how John Price died. What they don't know is the decades-long history of abuse Katherine inflicted on the men in her life, and anyone else she deemed an obstacle. Which raises an uncomfortable question, if a man had done to women what Katherine did to men, would he have been stopped years earlier? In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin is joined by Rojé Augustin, whose new book The Butcher of Aberdeen, delves into Katherine’s chilling past shaped by childhood trauma, violent relationships, and a relentless descent into madness. Rojé Augustin is the author of The Butcher of Aberdeen: An Australian Story of Sex, Madness, and Murder. You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

Skinned, beheaded & cooked for dinner: Rojé Augustin Pt. 2

In this second part of I Catch Killers, Gary and Rojé delve deep into the chilling psyche of Katherine Knight—the only woman in Australia sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. What drives a person to commit the unthinkable? They explore the gruesome crime scene that shocked even the most veteran homicide detectives, the calculation behind the skinning and butchering of John Price, and the psychological "triggers" that Katherine used to justify her actions. Gary and Rojé break down the terrifying final 24 hours of John Price's life, the warning signs that were missed, and the "nature vs. nurture" debate surrounding Knight’s fraternal twin sister. This is a gritty look into a real-life horror story and the long-term impact such extreme cases have on the detectives and communities left in their wake.
