On New Years Eve, 1998, in the small town of Wee Waa, a 91 year old woman was horrifically attacked. Incredibly, she survived, and quickly notified police of the attack. But, after months of case work without any leads, the case went cold… Two years later, then detective Robin Napper was asked to investigate.  He arrived in the town of just 1,900 people with a controversial, new age tactic to catch the offender. But, to use it, he needed internal policing politics to fall his way, and…the undying support of the town… Host Brent Sanders sits down with Robin Napper to discuss this case, and to hear about how his career evolved through the years.  This episode contains references to men's violence against women. Help is always available on 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).
