“Great concept, well produced, good storytelling....although tone is irksomely earnest at times. A highlight was finding the brother and the conversation with him. That was brilliant amd authentic as hell..
BUT this podcast completely leaves out the race discourse...in a story about an aboriginal girl being murdered in the 1970s in outback WA.... a notroriously racist place and time...They never ask if the father might be a racist and never explore the motive of his murder. Never explore the cultural context of the girl.
And her mother is who is painted by her daughter as a progressive, educated,lefty is not pushed very hard about how she reconciled the crime...or her views on aboriginals in the early 80s... it’s actually pretty sickening that his murder of the girl can be reconciled by her mother’s “diabolical attraction” and falling in love. It’s surreal and makes my stomach turn that the mother and her whole social network of white, Perth-based bohemian thespians were prepared to look past the violent murder of an aboriginal girl from this man... and the daughter doesn’t really press them on this ... it’s inconceivable. It’s like the girl’s life was insignificant, EASY TO FORGET.... would a murder of a young white girl from Fremantle be as easy to brush aside for these people?
These are the questins not considered by this podcast...
Her mother presents no remores for her role in Murderer’s very early release from what should’ve been a life sentence , no deep or meaningful thought of the girl. The letter to her at the end was pathetic given the gravity of what happened and her mothers role in forgetting and forgiving that it happened.”

“I really love this. It's so refreshing to hear women tell true crime stories and focus on the victims rather than just the perpetrator. Excellent quality writing, production and well researched to boot.”Read full review »
