    Show notes:


    In today's episode, we'll learn about the kind of man your mother always warned you about.


    A charming stranger with a camera full of flattery and mystique, a man with a knack for spotting vulnerable young women with stars in their eyes and convincing them they were safe with him.


    Christopher Wilder would go on to be known as the Snapshot Killer.

  • 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 episode #342 of Australian True Crime, we met a man named Glen Fisher, who told us about the abuse he suffered in a so-called youth refuge in 1980s Kings Cross.


    The place in question was called the "Homeless Children's Association Refuge", and it was run by one Simon Davies.


    In 2022, Simon Davies was convicted of historical child sex offences against two boys in 1980s. One of those boys was Glen Fisher.


    After that episode was published, we were contacted by a woman named Marie, who said she had more information about that story which she would like to share.


    Marie's life has been an odyssey, to say the least. As you'll hear though, she comes from a very different background to the boys who ended up at the Homeless Children's Association Refuge.


    We contacted the Australian Privacy Foundation (founded by Simon Davies) for comment, and you can see our correspondence with them on our Facebook page.

    We're 11 weeks into 2024 and 18 Australian women have been murdered so far this year. 


    Today we are releasing a re-issue of episode #18, a case I know many of us have been remembering as the search for Samantha Murphy goes on.


    It was 12 years ago that we first heard the name Allison Baden-Clay.


    Like Samantha Murphy, we were told that Allison, a successful, vibrant pillar of the community, had disappeared into thin air after going for a walk. Her husband and family had also made tearful plays in front of the media as photos of her attractive, smiling face were circulated.


    Journalist David Murray covered the case and wrote the excellent book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, and he joined us to talk about it.

  • 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. 


    It's estimated that around one third of sexual assaults committed against Australian children are carried out by other children, according to the Australian Center for Child Protection.


    Australian children are increasingly displaying harmful sexual behaviours and there's a tendency within our society to minimise it and characterise it as normal sexual development.


    Our guest on Australian True Crime today, Emma, was the victim of other children's harmful sexual behaviours when she was 13 years old.


    We know that adult sexual predators tend to seek out vulnerable children to take advantage of.


    Disturbingly, that approach seems to be instinctive. As you'll hear in this episode, Emma was definitely vulnerable when her attackers singled her out from the crowd.

  • 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. 


    A couple of years ago, there was a lady called Lynda living in a small community in Australia, who had bright pink keys.


    She wanted them to be very visible so that she could find them quickly and get inside her house or car in the event that she was ambushed by her ex-partner.


    One in night in 2020, though, she didn't make it inside in time, and was bashed and stabbed to death outside her own front door.


    The following day, when her murder was reported on the news, it was particularly shocking for one family living not too far away: his former family.


    The offender had been actively stalking his ex-wife, Stephanie, and their children right up until he murdered Lynda.


    Stephanie joins us today on Australian true Crime to talk about her experience. We dedicate this episode to the memory of Lynda and to her family.

    Dr. Hamish Mckenzie is the Detective Superintendent of the Western Australia Sex Crimes Division. That means he's the boss.


    As you're about to hear, Sex Crimes is a very challenging area of policing, and Western Australia is the largest single policing jurisdiction in the world.


    Policing, like everything else, is done differently in WA. But according to Hamish McKenzie, child sexual assault is the one area of law enforcement where egos really do take a backseat to results.


    He joins us on Australian True Crime, which serving officers rarely do. So we're very grateful to talk about his work and how we can continue to work together in child protection.

  • 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. 


    Like many of us, our guest today has researched her family tree using an online ancestry website.


    Unlike most of us, Julie DiBella found a serial killer lurking in hers.


    Julie has spent the last couple of years researching the crimes of her great great grandfather, Robert Francis Burns, who has gone down in the histroy books as potentially Australia's first serial killer.


    Julie is writing a book about her infamous ancestor, and she joins us on Australian True Crime today to tell us what she's discovered so far.


    We will keep you updated once Julie's book on Robert Francis Burns is released. Click here to purchase her previous book on 1970s Sharpie culture: Rage - A Sharpie's Journal
