Suburban Legends

The Wanda Beach Murders


Listen Later

On Monday the 11th of January 1965, Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock took four of Schmidt's younger siblings to Wanda Beach for a day trip. The blustery weather forced the group to seek refuge amongst the sand dunes. Marianne and Christine left the four youngsters to go and fetch their bags, telling the children they'd return shortly, then they'd all head home. The girls never returned...


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this infamous unsolved double murder. They discuss the group's trip, the discovery of the girl's bodies, the horrifying details of their murders, and descriptions of persons seen in the area at the time. They also touch on two potentially linked unsolved murders and a list of suspects.
