This is a brief listener update.

Since the release of this series, a number of people have reached out privately to share memories, documents, photographs, and contemporaneous newspaper material connected to Denise McGregor and to Pascoe Vale and Broadmeadows in the late 1970s.

Some of that material no longer exists anywhere else. Some memories have not been spoken about in decades.

This update is both a thank you to those who have contributed so far, and a short explanation of the care being taken as the series continues — including why public accusations, speculation, and naming individuals beyond what is firmly established on the public record are avoided.

The priority of this project is to keep Denise McGregor’s case as solvable as possible by protecting witness memory, avoiding theory bias, and being deliberate about how and when expert input is sought.

Future episodes examine which explanations could plausibly fit the known constraints — and which do not.

If you have memories or material you are unsure about, you are welcome to contact the podcast privately. Any specific information relevant to the case should also be directed to Victoria Police.
