Brenden Abbott is one of Australia’s most infamous bank robbers, a figure whose crimes, repeated prison escapes, and years spent evading capture throughout the 1990s turned him into something of an outlaw legend.

To unpack the story behind both the legend and the reality, we’re joined by Abe Maddison (AKA Derek Pedley), author of The Postcard Bandit, an authorised biography of Brenden Abbott.

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 questions 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.
