    Retrospect: The Newcastle beach murders// Alex Rees and Ray Hill

    Send a text On a warm summer's night in January 1970, two lovers were brutally killed as they parked at a beach in Newcastle, Australia. At the time police came up with two motives for the murders. Was this crime committed by a sexual deviant, prowling the beach that night for a likely victim? Or was it personal, and a crime born of jealousy and resentment? The case remains unsolved and in the years that followed, there were no similar crimes that pointed to a serial killer. The murders of Alex Rees and Raymond Hill are however reminiscent of an American murderer who had been wreaking havoc in California, in the 2 years prior to 1970. Could Australia have potentially had its own copycat Zodiac killer?  Support the show

    Eve Stratford, Lynne Weedon and Lynda Farrow// Serial Killer?

    Send a text In the spring of 1975, a 21 year old model and playboy promotional bunny was viciously murdered in her London flat. Six months later a 16-year-old school girl was raped and murdered after a night out with friends. Four years would go by before another young woman was brutally attacked and murdered in her own home, in 1979. In 2006 DNA would definitively link two of these murders. Was a serial killer responsible for all three?  Support the show

    Johnny Frank Garrett// Wrongful Conviction? (part 2)

    Send a text In 1982, 18-year-old Johnny Frank Garrett is given the death sentence for the rape and murder of Sister Tadea Benz. With little hope for an appeal, and with declining mental health, Johnny Garrett awaits his execution.  However, the truth has a way of outing and in time many facts surrounding this case will be brought to light. Potential coverups, shoddy investigative techniques, inadequate defence, and questionable expert testimonies are all called into question. The most important question though is what value is given to a life that may have been wrongfully taken by the State?  Support the show

    Johnny Frank Garrett// Wrongful conviction? (Part 1)

    Send a text On Halloween morning in 1981, a Roman Catholic nun was brutally raped and murdered in her  Northern Amarillo convent. The investigation that was to follow would lead to the highly questionable arrest of an intellectually disabled 17-year-old boy. His trial would raise more questions than answers and would shine a spotlight on a flawed judicial system. This case not only poses the question of guilt or innocence but also asks the question of whether mentally ill prisoners should receive the death penalty.  Support the show
