Content warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, mental illness, suicide, and graphic violence that may be disturbing to some listeners. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Katherine Knight was known in her small Australian town in New South Wales, Aberdeen, as tough, unpredictable, and deeply troubled. She had a history of violent relationships, a fierce temper, and a dark past that few dared to challenge. When she entered a new relationship in the late 1990s, friends and family were concerned—but no one could have predicted how it would end. In this episode, we explore the life of Katherine Knight, the red flags that were ignored, and the events that led to one of the most infamous criminal cases in Australian history.
