“Started off well but it just goes on and on repeating the same bits of information. Couldn’t make it to the end.”

“Alison is tenacious as ever. I enjoyed this podcast and hope that Sue will get a satisfactory resolution to her sister’s death. A little too much unnecessary repetition of the same facts over and over in my opinion to give 5 stars but worth listening to nonetheless”

“This is THE worst true crime pod cast I’ve ever listened too. The novelist (as she is obviously a fiction writer) was so biased in her reporting and editing of this. At no time did she give any balance to the story. She fuelled the delusion of the poor grieving sister of the victim. The sister...”Read full review »

“Detailed podcast, well organised and presented. It is a shame it is spoilt by intrusive, irritating music that overlays the speech, especially when detailed facts are presented.”

“I feel very sorry for the family that they lost a loved one, but this is definitely not a murder. Journalism absolutely trashing police and making a story out of something that really just isn’t there. This was a suicide with a desperate family trying to blame someone for the death. Sad, but...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying the presentation of this mystery. It is however deeply and profoundly unsettling to hear QLD Police describe family members as mentally ill and declaring that the investigations should not be questioned. History clearly tells us that they should be questioned as regularly as...”Read full review »

“Excellent to see this podcaster withstand the “nothing to see here” blowtorch. The way they painted the dead woman’s sister as mentally ill for keeping asking questions is appalling.”

She’s throwing out accusations on completely biased...”Read full review »

“Another really sad story and I feel it has been affected by Police inadequacies and mishandling of the crime scene. Their aggressive manner to cover their arses is abhorrent actions and I’m pleased you have been able to bring this to light for the family”

“Big USA fan of The Lady Vanishes. This podcast is not up to that standard. It unfortunately preys on the guilt of the sister of a woman who killed herself and on a poorly executed police investigation. They try to twist immaterial open questions (ownership of the gun) or facts (the prior child...”Read full review »

“Has anyone considered that maybe the 19 year old that found the body saw she was dead and reached in to take her handbag which knocked her over and he dropped the bag on top of the seat?”

“Excellent again. Such good reporting by Alison Sandy. I listened to every episode of the Lady Vanishes too and am convinced that podcasts like these make a difference. The Teacher’s Pet got a conviction after 40 years and Shandee’s Story led to an investigation into the Forensic Laboratory in qld.”

“Enjoyed ‘The Lady Vanishes’ and this podcast also seems very interesting. It is right this case is looked at again and that justice is sought for Gwen. However, perhaps there is a need to reflect on the out-dated terminology and language used around suicide so as not to perpetuate stigma...”Read full review »

“This podcast is interesting enough but the language used concerning suicide is outdated and insensitive. The presenter refers several times (I’ve only listened to a couple of episodes) to Evelyn “committing suicide”. That phrase is very outdated, stigmatising and has associations to suicide...”Read full review »

“What a waste of my time. Why would channel 7 waste everyones time with a case that is clearly a suicide! Surely there are so many better cases they could have looked at where there was actual evidence to support their stance.
Don’t bother listening.”
