MARCH TOPIC:AUSTRALIAN TRUE CRIME 

Check out Buzz Killers every Sunday for new episodes! A proud podcast of the Podmoth Media Network. 

 

In episode sixty four we discuss the tragic murders of Jennifer, Adrian, and Sarah De Gruchy.

On March 13, 1996, 18 year old Matthew De Gruchy came home from his girlfriend's house to discover his mother and two siblings dead. The house was in disarray and investigators initially thought that this was a burglary gone wrong.  After further investigation, that police discovered that this heinous crime was far more personal and quickly zeroed in on a suspect that they never would have expected.
