    The Claremont Killings, Part Three

    After years of attacks, disappearances and false leads, the Claremont investigation finally begins to narrow. The answer does not come from one confession or one witness. It comes through old exhibits, new testing, and a chain of evidence that slowly leads police to a man who had been there all along. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    On a Monday morning in December 2014, customers sit down for coffee in Martin Place. Minutes later, a shotgun is produced and the doors are locked.

    The Scott Johnson Case

    Sydney, December 1988. Twenty-seven-year-old American mathematician Scott Johnson is found dead at the base of cliffs at North Head. He had moved to Australia to build a life with his partner, splitting his time between Canberra and Sydney while completing his PhD. His clothes are discovered folded near the cliff edge, and within months his death is ruled a suicide — but over the decades that follow, questions about that conclusion refuse to settle.

    The Disappearance of Graeme Thorne

    Sydney, July 1960. Eight-year-old Graeme Thorne disappears while waiting for a lift to school in Bondi. His family are ordinary — a travelling salesman, his wife, and their two children, living in a rented duplex. Three weeks earlier, however, Bazil Thorne had won £100,000 in the Opera House Lottery — and the media published their names and home address. Hosted on Acast.
