    She Matters: Kelly Williams (Duffy)

    Today, we're sharing an episode from Sherele Moody's podcast, She Matters. You can click here to listen to more episodes on Apple, or you can find She Matters wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also sign the "Justice for Kelly" petition here. Show notes: A man heard the violence behind the wall. He did not help her. Her sister found the single mum days later. The smell of her favourite human decaying forever lingers in her memory. Her murder warranted no more than three lines in one newspaper. Her killer still walks among us. Her name is Kelly Williams (Duffy). She was only 31. You've never heard of her but it's not for want of trying. Kelly's sister Paula has spent the past 23 years trying to get journalists to tell her story. Today she gets that wish.   Presenter: Sherele Moody Producer: Dash Made Studios Executive Producers: Bravecasting Podcast Network ❤️ SUPPORT MY WORK The RED HEART Campaign and Australian Femicide Watch are unfunded initiatives providing: • Support for families of femicide • Housing for women leaving violence • Ethical media training for journalists • Rallies, vigils, and public awareness events • Documentation of women and children lost to violence To help continue this vital work, please donate or buy a RED HEART t-shirt - 100% of proceeds fund efforts to save lives and end violence. ❤️ Donate: australianfemicidewatch.org/support ❤️ Shop: australianfemicidewatch.org/shop-2 If you need help: ❤️ 1800 RESPECT – 1800 737 732 ❤️ Women’s Crisis Line – 1800 811 811 ❤️ 13YARN – 13 92 76 ❤️ Rainbow Helpline – 1800 497 212 ❤️ Men’s Referral Service – 1300 766 491 ❤️ MensLine – 1300 789 978 ❤️ Lifeline (24 hours) – 13 11 14 Connect: 📱 Instagram/Facebook: sherelemoodyfemicidewatch 🐦 X (Twitter): @ShereleMoody 📘 Facebook: TheREDHEARTCampaign/ 🎵 TikTok: @femicidewatchaustralia 🌐 Website: australianfemicidewatch.org 📧 Email: Sherele@AustralianFemicideWatch.org Hosted on Acast.

    Shortcut: What Happened to Shirley Butler on Christmas Eve 1952?

    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. Shirley Butler, a 21 year old woman, was found dead just metres from her home in Waverton on Christmas Day 1952. Detectives launched an intense hunt for answers and even staged a world first radio re enactment of her final tram ride, while the press hinted that police were holding back key details. Nearly six months later, a dramatic arrest made headlines, but the revelations that followed proved even more astonishing.
