    Shortcut: Captain Moonlite

    Shortcut: Captain Moonlite

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 
    Captain Moonlite was a very different character compared to other famous Australian Bushrangers.
    Despite the fantastic nickname there's been conspicuously little information available about him.
    That was until journalist and author, Garry Linnell started looking into the story.
    The result is a great book that uncovers some surprising aspects of Moonlite story. Aspects some say are the reason he hasn't been eulogised like his contemporaries.

    ATC Plus *Preview*: An update from Dassi Erlich

    ATC Plus *Preview*: An update from Dassi Erlich

    This is a preview of our recent ATC Plus episode with Dassi Erlich. Subscribe now to ATC Plus to listen to the whole hour long conversation.
    Many of you will know the name Dassi Erlich.
    Along with her sisters, Elly Sapper and Nicole Meyer, Dassi fought a ten year battle to have her former head mistress, Malka Leifer, extradited from Israel to Australia to face trial for sexually abusing them when they were students at the ultra orthodox Adass Israel School in Melbourne.
    Malka Leifer was found guilty of sexually assaulting and raping Dassi and Elly, and in August 2023, she was sentenced to 15 years in jail with a non-parole period of 11 and a half years.
    Now Dassi has released a memoir, called "In Bad Faith".
    Even though they've told us so much of their story already, this book is a revelation. I feel like I've read a whole new story. A story I never knew. It's so good.
    Dassi joins us for an update just for subscribers of ATC Plus. Thank you so much for subscribing.

    Re-Issue: “Disgraced” Paul Dale. Victim or Villain? - #145

    Re-Issue: “Disgraced” Paul Dale. Victim or Villain? - #145

    This is a re-issue of episode #145, “Disgraced” Paul Dale. Victim or Villain?
    This week, we released an episode with Retired Homicide Detective, Charlie Bezzina, regarding the murders of Terrence and Christine Hodson.
    We're re-issuing our two part episode in conversation with Paul Dale, so that he can tell his side of the story, and so that we can go further into detail regarding the many key players involved. 
    Don't forget that Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland this July. To get 15 percent off your tickets for our Melbourne show with Charlie Bezzina, make sure to use the codeword "Charlie" at checkout.
    Show notes:
    “Disgraced former Drug Squad Detective” Paul Dale has seen his reputation so destroyed that his lawyer says he’s virtually beyond defamation. As his biographer Vikki Petraitis puts it, he’s been accused of everything, and yet, he’s never been convicted of anything. Is he the victim of a huge conspiracy, or the luckiest villain in the ongoing saga of the Melbourne Gang war? You be the judge as he joins us to tell his story over two weeks.
    Purchase COPS, DRUGS, LAWYER X AND ME by Paul Dale and Vikki Petraitis.
