    Do Not Approach Keith Lees

    Keith Lees is a very dangerous man who is living somewhere in Australia, and is sought by police across two states. He's probably living under an assumed name. He may have stolen someone else's identity and he definitely should not be approached or confronted. In this part one of our story, we hear from one of the children of Keith Lees, Wren Dawnsong. Wren was living with Keith when he murdered Barry Waters, for which he was convicted and served prison time. Wren was also living with her father when Keith's then partner, Meaghan Louise Rose, was found dead at the foot of a cliff on the Sunshine Coast on July 18th, 1997. In part two of this series, we will be speaking with Meaghan's sister. That episode will be available on Thursday this week. Do you have information regarding any of the cases discussed on this podcast? Please report it on the Crime Stoppers website or by calling 1800 333 000. You can check out Wren's youtube channel, where she has uploaded her own video regarding this story here.

    The Forty-Year Cold Case of Lesley Larkin

    At about 12:30pm on the 9th of November,1984, Lesley Larkin was found lying naked and unconscious across a mattress in her unit in Noosa Heads. She had suffered a severe head injury, and would later pass away in hospital.  Lesley was a beloved member of her community, and last month signalled 40 years since her murder. Despite more than 150 interviews conducted at the time, the motive for this crime has never been determined. No signs of robbery, no evidence of sexual assault, and no apparent forced entry.  On today's episode of Australian True Crime, our guest host and Criminologist Dr. Xanthe Mallett will be speaking with Lesley Larkin's sister, Juanita Wotherspoon. Do you have information regarding any of the cases discussed on this podcast? Please report it on the Crime Stoppers website or by calling 1800 333 000.

    Shortcut: The 1950s Glamour Model Who Murdered Her Boyfriend

    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. In 1954, Sydney man Arthur Griffith died at the hands of his girlfriend, a former Miss Australia semifinalist, Shirley Beiger. Their lives up to that point are fascinating to look back on, but what happened afterwards is positively extraordinary.  Our guest today is Sheridan Harbridge. Sheridan is an actor and playwright, and she's co-written a theatre show inspired by Shirley Beiger to be performed in one of Australia's oldest courtrooms as part of the 2025 Sydney Festival in January. You can book tickets to Sheridan's production, A Model Murder here.

    Shortcut: Australian Gospel - Part One

    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. Lech Blaine was ten years old when his family was located by Australia's most notorious stalkers. Religious fanatics, Michael and Mary Shelley had been convicted multiple times by then of harassing politicians, religious figures and private citizens all over the world. They were particularly interested in the Blaine's because they were fostering three of the Shelly's biological children. Lech Blaine is now one of our country's brightest young writing talents, and telling his family's incredible story in a new book called Australian Gospel. In part one of this two part edition of Australian True Crime, we learn about the backgrounds of the families and the beginnings of the Shelley's rampage around the globe.
