Katherine Knight: The Brutal Murder of John Price in Aberdeen

In the quiet town of Aberdeen, New South Wales, John Price was a well-liked father and hardworking abattoir operator. Katherine Knight was the woman he’d tried to leave more than once, terrified of how violent she could become. What unfolded in February 2000 remains one of the most disturbing crimes in Australian history. In this Crime at Bedtime episode, Jack walks you through the chilling case of Katherine Knight, the first woman in Australia to receive a life sentence without parole. After years of escalating violence, manipulation and threats, Knight attacked her partner John Price, killing him in a frenzied and brutal assault. What police found inside the home the next morning defied belief — a crime scene so shocking it made headlines around the world. We explore Knight’s background, her violent history in previous relationships, the events leading up to the murder, the forensic evidence, and the court case that revealed the full extent of her actions. It remains a case that continues to horrify even the most seasoned homicide detectives. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

A life cut short - Saul Contreras P3

Saul has spent almost 20 years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit. The victim, Jazmine Contreras, was just 22 months old when she died on Thanksgiving weekend in 2003. That tragedy was compounded when police immediately developed a theory that Saul had inflicted injuries that caused her death and, through alleged threats and other tactics, coerced what Saul says is a false confession. Over the next few episodes Saul talks us through what exactly happened that night. I'd like to thank Jane Lewis and the team from Proclaim Justice for her help in facilitating this interview.

In 1930s Delhi, a young girl stunned her parents and teachers with memories she should not have had. Shanti Devi insisted she had lived before — in a town over 100 miles away, with a husband, a home, and a death during childbirth. Her case became India’s most famous investigation into reincarnation, drawing the attention of Mahatma Gandhi himself. Was Shanti Devi truly remembering another life, or was there another explanation? You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast.

An impossible murder - Temujin Kensu p5

In November of 1986 a man named Scott Macklam was fatally shot in the car park of a community college in Port Huron Michigan. Fred Freeman who now goes by Temujin Kensu who was over 400 miles away in Escanaba was subsequently arrested, tried and found guilty of the crime and remains in prison almost 37 years later. No one saw the shooting that Temujin is convicted of committing. Instead, two men testified to seeing a stranger who possibly resembled Temujin at some point before or after the shooting. One of the witnesses was hypnotized before he testified. No less than nine unimpeached neutral alibi witnesses testified to at trial, that Temujin was over 400 miles away at the time of this crime. The prosecution countered by suggesting that Temujin theoretically could have chartered a plane to go commit the murder and return in time to be seen by his alibi witnesses. The biggest issue with that is the prosecution never offered any actual evidence to support this theory. This is the insane story of Fred Freeman as told by him.

The Cartel Hitman P1 - Wild Bill

Once one of America's most wanted men, Wild Bill, as he's been called by authorities, was arrested as he attempted to make his way into Nicaragua via Costa Rica on July 26, 2010. Bill was accused of the murders of 5 people, murders that he would later confess to. Bill says he worked in Panama as a gun for hire, a hitman, for a cartel of sorts. He says he was driven by greed and a severe lack of any morals. Bill says he's not the man he once was, he does not speak of the murders that he has committed or even so much as mention their names, he says he is haunted by his crimes and he focuses on doing good in the world in which he now finds himself. Once arrested and convicted he was sentenced to over 40 years inside a Panamanian prison where he remains today. While incarcerated Bill has become the prisons Chaplin and holds regular services for the other incarcerated men. He's also written a book about his experiences inside one of the worlds worst and most violent prisons, the link to which is below. Not only has he written a book but he also does a daily audio diary which he posts on youtube and has a Facebook page 'Friends of Brother Bill' that he uses to stay in touch with people on the outside. But how did Bill become a killer, what happened in his life that would send him down this path? Bill tells me his story from his prison cell in Panama.

"Don't you die on me" - John Spirko

The words "Don't you die on me" came back to haunt me recently, as I got a message to say John Spirko may have had a suspected heart attack just minutes after we hung up the phone and I uttered those words. It would turn out it wasn't a heart attack and after some time in hospital John was returned to prison in time to get some better news. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In 1982, postmistress Betty Jane Mottinger was abducted from her one-room post office in Elgin, Ohio — a town of fifty people and murdered. Six weeks later, John Spirko, a career criminal with a talent for spinning stories, decided to trade invented information about her death for a deal that would keep his girlfriend out of prison. It didn't work. Instead, his web of lies contradictory, provably wrong, and completely fabricated, somehow became the centrepiece of a capital murder prosecution. No physical evidence. No connection to the victim. No connection to the crime scene. Just the words of a man who admitted he made it all up. John Spirko has been on Ohio's death row, and now serves life without parole, for over forty years. A federal judge called his conviction a foundation of sand. A governor said there was enough doubt to spare his life but not enough to free him. This is his story as told by him from his prison cell in Ohio.
