In 1986, a car bomb ripped through Melbourne’s Russell Street Police Headquarters, killing one and injuring 21. It was Australia’s first taste of domestic terrorism, a shocking ‘revenge attack’ that turned the heart of the city into a war zone. Among the injured was then-21-year-old Constable Debra Richardson.  Deb spent more than 3 decades in fear of what would happen when the perpetrator, Craig Minogue, was released. So much so, that in 2018, she successfully lobbied the State Government to keep him in jail. In this episode of Crime Insiders Detectives, Deb shares her harrowing memories of the bombing with host Brent Sanders and takes us inside her fight to keep Minogue behind bars. This episode contains descriptions of violent crime and mental health.
