We Deep Dive Into the crimes of Eric Edgar Cooke, a serial killer who terrorised Perth, Australia, in the 1950s and 60s. It details his burglaries, assaults, hit-and-runs, and murders, including the Australia Day shootings and the deaths of Shirley McLoud, Rosemary Anderson and Jillian Brewer. The transcript also covers the wrongful convictions of John Button and Daryl Beamish for some of Cooke's crimes and their eventual exoneration decades later. Furthermore, the text explores the devastating impact Cooke's actions had on his victims, their families, and the wider community, including his wife and children. The transcript further explores how journalist Estelle Blackburn's investigations led to uncovering concealed confessions that eventually exonerated John Button and Daryl Beamish and how their lives were permanently altered by his actions.
