On December 1, 2018, 22-year-old backpacker Grace Millane met a man for a Tinder date in Auckland; within days she was missing, and soon a homicide investigation revealed CCTV trails, a calculated cleanup, and a killer who tried to hide behind the so-called “rough sex” defense. This episode traces Grace’s life and travels, the meticulous police work that unraveled the lie, the trial that led to a murder conviction, and the global backlash that helped spur legal reforms aimed at preventing abusers from blaming victims.Sources:<ul><li>The Lie: The Murder of Grace Millane (documentary) —&nbsp;<a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-lie-the-murder-of-grace-millane/umc.cmc.25e1hupsruxwcfvbjnixz7mtr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/the-lie-the-murder-of-grace-millane/umc.cmc.25e1hupsruxwcfvbjnixz7mtr</a></li><li>Supreme Court of New Zealand,&nbsp;Jesse Shane Kempson v R&nbsp;(PDF) —&nbsp;<a href="https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2021/2021-NZSC-74.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases/2021/2021-NZSC-74.pdf</a></li><li>RNZ,&nbsp;The Grace Millane case: A timeline&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/410039/the-grace-millane-case-a-timeline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/410039/the-grace-millane-case-a-timeline</a></li><li>RNZ,&nbsp;Grace Millane’s killer named as Jesse Kempson after Supreme Court appeal denied&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/433383/grace-millane-s-killer-named-as-jesse-kempson-after-supreme-court-appeal-denied" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/433383/grace-millane-s-killer-named-as-jesse-kempson-after-supreme-court-appeal-denied</a></li><li>New Zealand Police,&nbsp;Update – Grace Millane investigation&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/update-grace-millane-investigation-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/update-grace-millane-investigation-1</a></li><li>UK Government,&nbsp;Domestic Abuse Act factsheet: Consent to serious harm for sexual gratification not a defence&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/consent-to-serious-harm-for-sexual-gratification-not-a-defence" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/domestic-abuse-bill-2020-factsheets/consent-to-serious-harm-for-sexual-gratification-not-a-defence</a></li><li>UK Legislation,&nbsp;Domestic Abuse Act 2021, Section 72&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/17/section/72" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2021/17/section/72</a></li><li>NZ Herald,&nbsp;Grace Millane murder: Killer jailed for a minimum of 17 years&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/grace-millane-murder-killer-jailed-for-a-minimum-of-17-years/P6RDWB4JUETPINBVWC5UH6HH6Y/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/grace-millane-murder-killer-jailed-for-a-minimum-of-17-years/P6RDWB4JUETPINBVWC5UH6HH6Y/</a></li><li>The Guardian,&nbsp;Grace Millane trial: jury shown CCTV of accused moving suitcase with body inside&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/13/grace-millane-trial-jury-shown-cctv-of-accused-transporting-suitcase-with-body-inside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/13/grace-millane-trial-jury-shown-cctv-of-accused-transporting-suitcase-with-body-inside</a></li><li>TIME,&nbsp;New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Offers Emotional Apology to Family of Murdered British Tourist&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/5475149/jacinda-ardern-grace-millane-new-zealand-murder/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://time.com/5475149/jacinda-ardern-grace-millane-new-zealand-murder/</a></li></ul>This Week's Episode Brought To You By: IndaCloud&nbsp;- If you’re 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping with code lovemurder at&nbsp;<a href="https://inda.shop/lovemurder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://inda.shop/lovemurder</a>!Shopify&nbsp;- $1 per month trial -&nbsp;<a href="http://shopify.com/lovemurder" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://shopify.com/lovemurder</a>Cure -
