Set against the backdrop of the 1930’s Great Depression, the grey Melbourne streets were stalked by a serial killer the press dubbed The Schoolgirl Strangler. This predator, a few beers down each attack, blended in amongst the everyday downtrodden bloke walking the streets during this time. And that made him all the more dangerous… Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the shocking murder of 4 young girls in Melbourne in the early to mid 1930’s, and the investigation that caught the man responsible.
