Episode 388 - The Weightman Murders (2000)

In January 2000, a car was found at the bottom of an embankment in Heathcote National Park. Inside were Bill and Pam Weightman — a respectable south-west Sydney couple, seemingly the victims of a tragic late-night accident. Police found no skid marks. No witnesses. No sign of another vehicle. Within hours, the case was closed.

But nothing about the scene truly added up.

Why were two cautious, routine-driven people out so late? Why did their injuries raise quiet questions no one followed up? And how did a forensic report — later revealed to contain a startling error — help bury the truth for four long years?

In this episode, join Holly & Matthew as they examine the threads of a case that looked simple… until you examine the facts. It’s a story of suspicion, persistence, broken systems, and the unsettling realisation that sometimes the most ordinary tragedies aren’t what they seem.
