For The Reporter, walking his dog one Sunday resulted in a tip-off about the identity of a severed head, wrapped in a plastic bag, that washed up on the sandy shores of Rottnest Island. It was a man named Stephen Raymond Cookson - and he was such a nasty piece of work that no one missed him.

The Reporter is presented by Gary Adshead and Michael Thomson.
