In 2015 Nikki finished her last shift in the Queensland Police force after 21 years of service to the community. The last 16 years she spent in forensics where attending so many major crime scenes wore her out both physically and mentally. 

Nikki’s policing career sent her very close to the edge but she’s found a new purpose in life & is so much stronger mentally & relishes in the fact she’s still ‘making a difference’ in her role as a ‘clinical perfusionist’. 

So you’d think Nikki might take it a bit easy & do something a little less stressful wouldn’t you……but no

This interview was recorded just days before the devastating floods - hence the delay.

Anne O'Brien is synonymous with compassion, comfort, empathy, kindness, warmth, fun and humour. Anne was known to nearly every homicide, sex crime and major collision investigation unit member. And those who didn't soon learnt of her importance.

Anne's expertise wasn't at a crime scene or investigating a crime, it was with the actual victim or a witness to that crime.

This is Annes' story.

Leonie’s childhood was marred with the death of her parents – one from drugs and the other from cancer. At 16 she decided she didn’t want to live with her extended family anymore and discovered that working in the sex industry paid the bills, particularly her time working as an escort.

In her role as an escort, she met and fell in love with a man 15yrs her senior who introduced her to drugs, she quickly became addicted. And there began a relationship with a man who over time, she realised was a narcissist, who she found was constantly cheating on her, he abused her physically and sexually, stalked her, harassed her, threatened to humiliate her, gaslight her …..and she couldn’t escape. She was stuck and fearful of her life if she did find the courage to leave.

This is Leonie's survival story in her own words.
