Trial By Wine

Clarky follows up the AI Scams episode, with this very educational piece on human trafficking and scam call centres.  It takes us back to the good old days of call centre work in Moonee Ponds....

Swanny tells the story of Dr Neil Hopper who tragically lost his legs and became an amazing and inspiring pillar of the community.  Until.....

Schmidty concludes the Casey Anthony story with Clarky and Swanny being left annoyed at no one behaving properly and no real conclusion as to what happened to Caylee Anthony.

Schmidty delves into the weird case of the disappearance of Caylee Anthony and her mother Casey's strange behaviour and lies, which confuses Clarky and Swanny to no end.

Swanny tells the story of Allison Bayden Clay, a remarkable woman who made the mistake of marrying the great grandson of Lord Robert Bayden Powell.  A man who liked to talk about his heritage, but did not uphold the tenants of the boy scouts.  

Schmidty tells the story of Susan Walters (nee Kuhnhausen) who didn't listen to her intuition, but used her particular set of skills to her advantage.  Always listen to your intuition folks!

Clarky brings a fantastic palate cleanser after the last few dark episodes.  This is the story of AI scamming and how it caught a couple of ladies out.  Just remember, if someone contacts you and asks for money, it's probably a scam.

Schmidty continues the appalling story of the Family Murders which saw only one suspect, Bevan Spencer Von Einem, charged and sentenced.

Schmidty continues her South Australian crimes with the Family, allegedly a ring of murderous paedophiles preying on young men in Adelaide.

Clarky tells the story of Scott Amedure who was murdered by Jonathan Schmitz after appearing on a daytime TV talk show and telling Schmitz he was his same sex crush.  

Schmidty completes the story of the murder of Derrance Stevenson and the somewhat extraordinary remarks of the judge in the case. 

Schmidty tells part one of the Derrance Stevenson murder - what really happened and was it David?  Who knows, but something was off.

Clarky covers the horrific 1986 murder of Anita Cobby in Blacktown, Sydney.

Swanny tells the story of poor Kelli Peters, an after school volunteer who got on the wrong side of Jill Easter, or Ava Everheart, or Miss Delicious, or whatever - a woman who was bent on revenge for something that didn't happen.

Clarky takes his inspiration from Dylan's Hurricane in this story of Rubin Carter, the boxer who may or may not have shot and killed three people on a hot New Jersey night.

Schmidty tells the story of Rodney Alcala, one of the USA's most prolific serial killers who predated on women and girls through the late '60's and '70's and was a vicious and brutal killer - trigger warnings for this one.

Clarky lightens the mood with a series of weird laws that still exist in Victoria, much to the amusement of Swanny and Schmidty.

Swanny breaks her rule about telling an Australian story with this one.  Local boy Chris Lane was living his best life when he was murdered for absolutely no reason at all.  

Clarky tells the story of Derrick Johnson and Anna Stubblefield.  Did Anna find a way to communicate with Derrick that turned into a love story, or was she exploiting him?
