Episode 2

The car stopped next to Sian, and a minute and four seconds later, it drove off—with her in it. But it didn’t make sense: Sian didn’t live that far away. More CCTV footage showed it was a taxi. The driver: Christopher John Halliwell. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Halliwell had a police record and looked like a strong suspect. Fulcher made the decision to place him under covert surveillance, hoping he still had Sian and could lead them to her. Police teams followed him for several days. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 5

Halliwell said, “Have you got a car? We’ll go.” Instead of taking him to the police station (with access to a lawyer), Fulcher agreed—Sian could still be alive. Fulcher used an exception to the rule for urgent interviews when a life is at stake. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 7

Fulcher couldn’t ignore a potential confession from a self-confessed killer. After Halliwell was taken to the police station, Fulcher was hailed as a hero.

Episode 8

It was argued that although Fulcher could invoke the ‘urgent interview’ provision for Sian, once Halliwell suggested there could be a second victim, Fulcher should have ignored that confession and taken him directly to the station. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 10

It took five years for Halliwell’s trials to conclude. By then, Steve Fulcher had left the police force—leaving behind the biggest question of all: When a killer confesses, do you listen? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In June 1993, Elizabeth Stevens, 18, was murdered on her way home from the bus stop. Her death began a seven-week reign of terror for the people of Frankston. A serial killer was on the loose. No one was safe, not young mother, Debbie Fream, 22, taken on a trip to the shops, nor Natalie Russell, 17, murdered on her way home from school. The serial killer, Paul Denyer was captured and sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, he was granted a 30-year minimum sentence. Fast forward 30 years and Denyer has applied for parole. Award winning crime writer Vikki Petraitis was on patrol with police the night the final murder took place. She wrote the bestselling book, The Frankston Murders which has never been out of print. Vikki has revisited the case in a longform podcast to remind the world why Denyer must never be released. The Frankston Murders Podcast uncovers new material and new victims stalked by Denyer in the lead-up to the killings. Vikki interviews prison guards, police officers, family members, and people caught in the periphery of a serial killer.Credits:Created by Vikki PetraitisResearch and writing by Vikki PetraitisAudio production and scoring by Mike Migas (https://mikemigas.com/)Audio production by Anthony TelferArchive production by Catherine Seccombe/Arcdive (https://www.arcdive.com/)Archival audio supplied by The Footage Company / Nine Network Australia Hosted on Acast.
