Andy Kingston arrived at 125 South St in the middle of the day, overcome by insatiable lust.

Bernadette and Mario in unit 2 invited him inside, expecting a visit from the guy they’d spoken to over the phone a number of times now. He was alone, Jenny, his wife, wasn’t with him.

Andy explained that she couldn’t be there this time, but next time, she would. He’d told her about them and she was excited.

He looked nice to both Bernadette and Mario; well dressed, in good shape, a friendly guy. Mario was happy to get things underway, to watch this time around, and Andy and Bernadette had sex in the loungeroom.

Andy notioned for Mario to become involved, but Mario would just watch this time. He’d get his when Jenny came the next time they met…

In 1986, Perth and the whole of Western in Australia was flying high, booming at this time, with the likes of Iron Ore magnate Lang Hancock and the occasionally corrupt Alan Bond flexing their business muscles.

Yachts were docked aplenty in Fremantle post Australia’s 1983 America’s Cup win, which Alan Bond actually bankrolled.

In the news, the number of disappearances of local Perth women were starting to raise many eyebrows, and then, news of the bodies hit the headlines…

This tale is about the Tromp family from the little eastern Melbourne suburb of Silvan and the interesting road trip the family of 5 went on back in 2016.

On August the 30th 2016, police arrived at the family's 18 acre redcurrant farm to find, well, nothing. 51 year old Mark Tromp, his wife 53 year old Jacoba or Coby, and their 3 adult children - 29 yo Riana, 25 yo Mitchell, and 22 year old Ella, had simply vanished, with no clue as to why or where they might’ve gone.

And as time went on, the police’s search for the family would yield even stranger results, results with questions which still remain unanswered to this day…

Jon Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this bizarre road trip and the many swirling theories on the potential reasons behind it.

3 August 1999

His hand trembled as he wrote, his sweaty fingers wrangling the pen as the words poured from his mind and became scrawl on the paper.

‘I tried every legal way possible to find justice for being wronged, this is a warning to employers, politicians, and corrupt men of authority. The little guy is getting tired of being used and shit upon with no avenue for fair play.'

‘Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war...’

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the case of the La Trobe University Shooting, resulting in the tragic death of Eagle Bar Manager, Leon Capraro, at the hands of Jonathan Brett Horrocks.

Mr Whippy would spearhead our country's foray in the world of ice cream vans. The brand established in Australia in 1962 and became ingrained in our culture as a popular presence during our hot summers, cruising the neighbourhoods with a whimsical melody playing over a crackly speaker.

But unlike the upbeat suggestive music we hear when the brightly coloured van rolls into town, it’s not always good times and double headers for those in the ice cream business...

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss 3 seperate cases, all with the common theme of ice cream.
