One morning earlier this year, Venus Bay locals woke up to find 9 dead wombats in the streets- and now they claim they’re dealing with a mass wombat killer. The 9 wombats were found lying by the roadside, some with tyre marks, some moved into strange positions.
Investigators found CCTV showing multiple utes driving around that night, swerving across the road. And one of those vehicles was allegedly used to hit the wombats. The alleged wombat massacre turned local community members into sleuths, with people sharing information updates on social media in the hunt for the alleged perpetrator.
In this episode, Wayne is joined by one of those local sleuths and wombat protection group founder Thomas Osberg. Together, they are laying out everything known about this case, and the alleged wombat killer.
