54: Jamie Pultz

This week, Bob interviews Jamie Pultz, creator of the “Beenham Valley Road” podcast, as part of October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month series. A former police officer in Queensland, Australia, Jamie left the force and launched his production company, Six10 Media, aptly named after the police code for “community assistance.” Since its inception, Jamie has produced several investigative podcasts, including Beenham Valley Road. Before diving into the subject of the BVR podcast, Bob and Jamie discuss how Jamie went from “fighting crime to fighting grime,” what it’s like to switch careers, and Bob’s new book idea. They then transition into a discussion of the case, the death of Kirra Mcloughlin. While in the police force, Jamie encountered Kirra during a domestic violence call, during which she refused help from law enforcement. Six months later, Kirra died from a traumatic brain injury. Her boyfriend claimed that Kirra had gotten into an altercation with his sister during a social gathering, but he did not call for aid until later the following day. When Kirra was taken to the hospital, it was reported that she had over 100 bruises on her body, and she was ultimately pronounced brand dead and taken off life support. To this day, no charges have been brought regarding her death, but thanks to the Beenham Valley Road podcast, public attention is being brought back to the case.
