    Beneath the Surface: The Lin Family Tragedy

    On a quiet winter morning in July 2009, the Lin family’s news agency in North Epping, Sydney, remained eerily shuttered. What began as a missed opening soon unravelled into one of Australia’s most haunting and complex murder cases. In this episode, we delve into the brutal slaying of five members of the Lin family—Min Lin, his wife Lily, their two sons, and Lily’s sister—inside their suburban home. As police pieced together the crime scene, a chilling portrait of betrayal emerged. At the centre of the investigation stood a man once considered family: Robert Xie, Min Lin’s brother-in-law. With no signs of forced entry and a web of circumstantial evidence, the case would stretch across years, four trials, and a nation’s collective grief. We explore the forensic breakthroughs—including the infamous “Stain 91” DNA evidence—and the emotional toll on sole survivor Brenda Lin, who courageously rebuilt her life while testifying against the man who shattered it. Join us as we navigate the labyrinth of lies, loyalty, and loss in a case that tested the limits of forensic science and the resilience of the human spirit.

    Shadows in the Sunlight - Double Episode Special

    In this episode, we journey into two haunting chapters of Australian history—each marked by sudden violence and enduring mystery. First, we revisit the Strathfield Massacre of 1991, where a quiet afternoon at Sydney’s Strathfield Plaza turned into a nightmare. A lone gunman, Wade Frankum, unleashed a brutal rampage that left seven innocent people dead and six wounded before taking his own life. What drove this seemingly ordinary man to commit such horror? And how did this tragedy reshape Australia’s conversation around gun control? Then, we travel back to 1957, deep into the South Australian outback, where the Sundown Murders shocked the nation. Sally Bowman, her daughter Wendy, and family friend Thomas Whelan vanished during a road trip—only to be found murdered near Sundown Station. The manhunt that followed became one of the largest in South Australian history, raising chilling questions about desperation, isolation, and justice in remote Australia. Two stories. Decades apart. Bound by silence, sorrow, and the search for meaning. Disclaimer** The content of this podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
