  • Julie Hatton's Death at Darreen
    Apr 12 2026

    Julie Hatton was 22 years old when she died from a gunshot wound at Darreen Station in 1978, leaving behind her 10-week-old daughter, Natalie.

    While her death was ruled a suicide, Natalie has spent decades questioning that conclusion, pointing to missing evidence and concerns raised by a former attending police officer.

    Natalie joins us to explain why she’s appealing the Coroner's decision against an inquest, and we encourage listeners to hear the deeper investigation in Graeme Crowley's podcast, The Guarantor.

    You can keep up with the developments of this case in The Guarantor Facebook Group.

  • The Hunt for Killer Father and Son Fugitives The Stoccos *Re-Issue*
    Apr 5 2026

    In 2007, Australia was captivated by the two week run of father and son outlaws Gino and Mark Stocco. They evaded police by driving laps around the southern states of Australia, while social media went wild with sightings and memes.

    Eventually, they were captured, and the real story, more bizarre than anyone could have imagined, could finally be told. Journalist Nino Bucci has written the definitive account in his book, "The Stoccos: Like Father Like Son" and he joins us to talk about it.

    This is a re-issue of episode 53.

  • Dezi Freeman Dead After Months in Hiding
    Apr 1 2026

    Fugitive Dezi Freeman has been shot dead by Australian police after seven months on the run, following the fatal shooting of two officers, Neal Thompson and Vadim De Waart-Hottart, at his rural Porepunkah property last August.

    Authorities say the 56-year-old, linked to sovereign citizen ideology, died after an hours-long stand-off in bushland when he refused to surrender.

    We unpack what is known so far about the case, the manhunt and the broader concerns around anti-government extremism with Holly Hales, Chief of Staff at Australian Associated Press.
