3rd November, 1982, Rosslea, QLD

20 year old Tony Jones called his family back home in Perth from a phone booth in Bower road. He spoke to his Mum and his brother Mark, who joked with Tony that when he decided to come home, he’d have to find another room because Mark had moved into his.

The brothers laughed and Tony told Mark he’d had a couple of nights on the beach, and it’d been harder in recent times to get a ride. But he was hopeful this evening. Tony ended the call with his family, and left that phone booth in Bower Rd, Rosslea, never to be seen or heard from again…

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the baffling disappearance of Tony Jones, a sad case with a potential end in sight.

Detective Sergeant Les Chapman and his partner Detective Sergeant Dennis Hart arrived at the Lameroo Lodge in Darwin in the morning of Saturday the 25th of November 1983. Adjacent to the lodge in a flower bed lay the deceased body of who appeared to be a young indigenous woman.

A pathologist couldn’t identify one single injury that killed her, it was a cumulative mix of the entire assault, but he noted 28 external injuries, and notably, no defensive injuries. Pretty quickly the Detectives stumbled across a solid lead. And this was in a bin nearby, when they found a blood soaked cowboy shirt...

Detectives Joe Cassar and Russell Oxford inspected the scene. The house was immaculate, not an item out of place, not a dirty dish left out. Bloodstains lined the hallway leading in to the bedroom where the victim lay. there was a smear of blood on the doorjamb, and in another room nearby, a footprint on the bedspread facing an open window; the like point of escape.

The victim lay slouched over the bed, battered and mutilated, the blood spattering on the walls and bed abundant. The throat had been cut and there was noticeable slashes around the buttocks. Shocking as the crime scene was, however, the most likely perpetrator was safely locked away behind bars… or was he?

The windows of the house at 1 Reserve Street had all been smashed with rocks. Firecrackers had been hurled into the yard and scorched the once lush green grass, and graffiti plastered across the front fence read ‘you’re a wanker’.

Upon his return home, around 3PM, Frank made his bed and changed into a white singlet and green tracksuit pants. He looked up at his glass sliding door, and saw young John standing in his doorway. It would be the last thing Frank Arkell would ever see...

Racecourse Road, Flemington, on Friday the 25th of January 2002; Armaguard cash in transit security officers Mohammed Tabiaat and Rebecca Mitchell pulled up in their armoured van just before 10AM. The pair were restocking 2 ATM’s with cash, but the bank branch itself was no longer operational - no staff inside. They just had to enter the premises and refill the machines from the rear.

Mohammed took up his spot on the street, scanning the surrounding area as Rebecca made the cash transfer. And right around when Rebecca reached the front door of the building, Mohammed spotted two balaclava wearing men in dark clothes running towards them. Both of the men were armed; one with a rifle and a revolver, the other with a sawn-off shotgun...

After seeing a movie and grabbing a bite to eat, Kim Barry and Donna Holland were up for a drink and dance. The local disco at Crown Gardens was the perfect spot and the vibes were good when the girls arrived.

Donna left a short time later, feeling unwell, and Kim spotted an acquaintance she knew from dance classes; a local coal miner named Graham Potter. The pair had a quick chat at the bar, then went to a quiet spot for a drink of wine.

Sadly, this would be the last drink of wine Kim would ever have…

"The rose is red, the violet's blue,

The honey's sweet, and so are you.

Thou art my love and I am thine;

I drew thee to my Valentine:

The lot was cast and then I drew,

And Fortune said it should be you."

On Monday 14th February 1994, Valentines Day, in Gladesville NSW, this poem and any other romantic notion were nowhere to be seen or heard when the Metro Fire services were called out to number 4 Flagstaff Street at approximately quarter to 8 in the evening…

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the sad case of the Valentine’s Day murders, and the unfurling story of one of our country’s most ruthless serial killers.

Karen Redmile was working near the intersection of Brunswick and Harcourt Streets; another night in the Valley dealing with client’s requests and negotiating. She was speaking with a man, and this guy had a noticeably deep voice. But the conversation didn’t remain amicable; it became violent.

Those nearby heard glass smashing, and loud thumping noises thereafter. But they didn’t see anything. A short time later, Karen was found on the footpath outside 99 Harcourt St, unconscious and with severe head injuries. Question was, would Karen ever regain consciousness and identify her attacker?

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this dark and twisted part solved, part unsolved case.

21st of October 2002. Monash University, Clayton, Victoria.

After the class of 12 had filed in and taken their seats, lecturer Lee Gordon-Brown handed back an assignment that students had recently completed, and began the class with a discussion, writing a question on the whiteboard for everyone to ponder.

Around 20 minutes into the class at 11:25AM, things took a sudden and horrific turn inside room E659 of the Menzies Building.

Allen, seated at the rear of the classroom, jumped up with both of his arms outstretched and screamed at the top of his lungs ‘you never understand me...’

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the tragic tale of the Monash University Shooting.
