  • 242 - The Baby In The Mailbag

    In May 1965 a horrific discovery was made at a Darwin post office. 

    A package carrying the remains of a newborn baby boy had been sent there from the Russell Street post office in Melbourne. The sender and the intended recipient were unable to be identified at the time.  

    Now, almost 60 years later, there are new leads in the case. Finally, after all this time, detectives might be on the precipice of solving this cold case.

  • 241 - Shanelle Dawson: Coming To Terms With The Teacher's Pet

    The murder of Lynette Dawson was a crime that unravelled in real-time via a podcast called The Teacher’s Pet in 2018. It was a groundbreaking investigation. One that forced police to re-investigate things they’d filed away as unimportant decades prior. 

    Shanelle Dawson, Lynette's daughter, had already pieced together the truth before investigative journalist Hedley Thomas came knocking. But his podcast helped put her father behind bars. 

    Since then, Shanelle has released her own story, in her own words via a memoir called My Mother’s Eyes. On this episode of True Crime Conversations, she joins Mamamia's Mia Freedman to give incredible insight into what it’s like to grow up with a father who did an unthinkable crime, and spent years lying to her about it.

  • 239 - The Most Famous Poisoning Murder You’ve Never Heard Of

    On New Year’s Eve, 1927, Ethel Griggs and her baby daughter Alwyn returned home to Victoria after six months away in Tasmania. 

    After eating supper with her husband Ethel quickly became ill, and just over 48 hours later she was pronounced dead.

    At first, it was thought to be heart trouble or even sea sickness that caused her death, but when police exhumed her body just two weeks after Ethel was laid to rest, they found enough arsenic inside her stomach to kill not just Ethel, but several people.

  • 238 - Inside Australia's Most Infamous Prison

    For more than a century, Australia's infamous Pentridge Prison was an ominous presence just 30 minutes away from Melbourne’s CBD.

    A place of murder and mayhem, it was home to Victoria’s worst criminals. Everyone from Ned Kelly and Chopper Read, to mass murderers Julian Knight and Craig Minogue.

    Pentridge officially closed in 1997 after decades of controversy. Over the years, everybody in Victoria had an understanding that Pentridge was a bad place, and the criminals who spent time inside can attest to that. They describe it as hell.
