It’s the kind of place that's so remote, there's not a single ounce of light pollution. The night sky is breathtaking. But in this pocket of the Kimberley lies an isolated community, full of contradictions, and two police officers doing their best to serve the community they love. This story will make you laugh and cry, and then cry some more.

This story starts with a simple call to look for a man acting suspiciously in a dark laneway. But it ends in a takedown on the freeway in the middle of the city. You will hear the chase, you will hear the gun fire, you will hear the moment this officer thinks it’s all over.

You’re about to hear what happened leading up to the moment of impact, and what happened right after it. A race to the border and a criminal on the run.

Full disclosure, the recording of this episode did not go according to plan. We did not expect this officer to open up about what she did, the way she did. With her permission, we have left her emotion raw and unedited so you can hear how it really played out.

The scream you will hear at the top of this episode is real – you will hear the sheer terror as a young woman begs for help. We have been given special permission to use this audio for this podcast episode. This is the story about a man with an axe, a mysterious cloaked woman and a bloke driving a Holden Commodore. There was a phone, a firearm, some grainy footage – and a whole lot of lies. The job was to sort the fact from the fiction. Spoiler alert - it’s not what you think.
