Have you ever witnessed the unraveling of an online community, entwined with mystery and real-life implications? Prepare to be drawn into the heart of such a digital maelstrom as my guest, Daniel, and I bring to light the drama of Erin Patterson's entanglement with a Facebook group dedicated to the Keli Lane case.

This isn't just a recount of social media; it's a deep dive into the effects of Erin's virtual persona and the subsequent police interest in her digital trail, reported by the Herald Sun.

We bring you a first-person perspective on our group's chaotic dissolution and the pivotal role played by other profiles in January 2020.

Our journey doesn't end in the digital world, as we traipse alongside Simon and Erin, venturing across Australia's rugged terrain and revisiting the poignant chapters of their lives.

From the demise of a book business to the emotional toll of a geriatric pregnancy, we traverse the complexities that shadow Erin's story.

Daniel and I offer a compassionate look at the family now under Simon's care, navigating the sensitive territory of the allegations against Erin with an adherence to the presumption of innocence.

Tune in for an episode that promises not only a gripping narrative but also an empathetic exploration of the people at its core, complete with supportive evidence found directly on our website.
