On her last day, she called her mum and said she was leaving him. She packed her bags, put her daughters in the car, and started the engine. She raced back inside to grab something. She never made it out.

Her name is Amy Lee Wensley. She was only 24.

There were failures throughout the investigation into her death and now, 14 years later, her family is still fighting for justice. Today, her aunt Anna and best friend Erin talk about the struggles they’ve faced bringing Amy’s suspected killer to justice, how they’re keeping her legacy alive, and what everyone should know about losing a woman to femicide.

This episode discusses domestic violence, suicide and substance use.

This is Amy’s story.

This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
