The bodies of five young men were discovered in the broader area of Adelaide between the years 1979 and 1983. All of the bodies displayed signs of brutal sexual torture, leading to their deaths. Some were mutilated and dismembered.

A doctor was tried and acquitted for one of the murders, and an accountant was imprisoned for life for committing another. But four of the murders remain technically unsolved. The popular theory is that many more people were involved than just this solitary accountant from an outer Adelaide suburb.

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss these series of abhorrent crimes that shocked the state of South Australia. They discuss the victims, their families, the police investigation, the arrests and trials, and finally, 'The Family'. If Bevan Spencer von Einem didn't act alone, then who else was involved?
