Shortcut: The Stabbing of Angus Beaumont

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Our guest today is Michelle Liddle. In February this year, she watched for the second time as two teenagers fought for their freedom after taking the life of her fifteen year old son, Angus Beaumont, in a Brisbane park in 2020. They were aged just 13 and 14 at the time of the lethal stabbing. One was on bail for armed robbery and the other was on probation. They both had significant histories of violent assaults. But even though Angus's final moments were captured on CCTV, the boys successfully appealed their initial convictions for his stabbing death and won a retrial. That judge only trial began in December 2023 and ended with one of the boys being found guilty of murder and the other guilty of manslaughter. They were sentenced to nine years and six years respectively. However, each of them is expected to serve around half of those sentences.

Shortcut: The Chase for Skase

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Today's episode is the story of one of Australia's infamous, flamboyant 1980s high fliers, the one and only Christopher Skase. Christopher Skase was an Australian businessman who gained notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s. Skase's empire collapsed in the early 1990s due to massive debts and allegations of corporate misconduct. He fled Australia for Spain in 1991 to avoid legal proceedings, leading to a highly publicised extradition battle. Skase remained in Mallorca, Spain, until his death in 2001, evading attempts by Australian authorities to bring him back to face charges. Our guests for this episode are Bryce Leske and Alec Renehan from the "Equity Mates" podcast.

Re-Issue: 33 year old Cold Case Solved: The Murder of Little Kylie Maybury - #14

This is a re-issue of episode #14. Originally aired July 13th, 2017. Sent on a simple errand to the local shops by her mother, six-year-old Kylie Maybury never made it home alive. Her body was found the following day, discarded in a gutter, but the circumstances of her death, and the identity of her killer remained unknown for 33 years. In the end, he was eerily close to home all along. Veteran crime reporter Keith Moor talks us through the details of the case, and the strange twists and turns in Kylie's case.

Shortcut: The Deadly Homophobia of Colonial Australia

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. This is a truly heartbreaking case from Melbourne's gold rush heyday. Although Australia is considered a youthful and progressive nation, we didn't start decriminalising homosexual acts until 1975. On this episode, we travel back to the 1870s, when Melbourne was blossoming. Shaking off her convict roots and making her mark on the world stage as a prosperous European-inspired capital. She could still be pretty inhospitable though, for anyone who didn't fit the mould...

Shortcut: One of Australia's worst serial rapists was also a WA Police Officer

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Our guest today is Nicole Edwards. She served in the Western Australian Police Force for 17 years until she retired on mental health grounds in 2023. Nicole was a victim of serial rapist Adrian Trevor Moore, who was found guilty in 2022 of assaulting 13 women. He was also a WA Police Officer. Nicole's position within WA police didn't mean her case was expedited or even that it was treated within the normal parameters of a sexual assault case. You see, because of Adrian Moore's position within WA Police, they decided to keep the investigation within their internal affairs department rather than send it to the well trained and experienced officers in the Sex Crimes squad. As a result, the case and the victims were grossly mishandled. Nicole Edwards joins us today to tell her story.

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. In episode #342 of Australian True Crime, we met a man named Glen Fisher, who told us about the abuse he suffered in a so-called youth refuge in 1980s Kings Cross. The place in question was called the "Homeless Children's Association Refuge", and it was run by one Simon Davies. In 2022, Simon Davies was convicted of historical child sex offences against two boys in 1980s. One of those boys was Glen Fisher. After that episode was published, we were contacted by a woman named Marie, who said she had more information about that story which she would like to share. Marie's life has been an odyssey, to say the least. As you'll hear though, she comes from a very different background to the boys who ended up at the Homeless Children's Association Refuge.

Shortcut: The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay with David Murray - Re-issue #18

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. We're 11 weeks into 2024 and 18 Australian women have been murdered so far this year. Today we are releasing a re-issue of episode #18, a case I know many of us have been remembering as the search for Samantha Murphy goes on. It was 12 years ago that we first heard the name Allison Baden-Clay. Like Samantha Murphy, we were told that Allison, a successful, vibrant pillar of the community, had disappeared into thin air after going for a walk. Her husband and family had also made tearful plays in front of the media as photos of her attractive, smiling face were circulated. Journalist David Murray covered the case and wrote the excellent book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, and he joined us to talk about it. This is an episode from behind our paywall. To access all of those episodes, plus early access to ad free new episodes, you can subscribe to ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts.

Shortcut: Going to the same school as your abusers

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. It's estimated that around one third of sexual assaults committed against Australian children are carried out by other children, according to the Australian Center for Child Protection. Australian children are increasingly displaying harmful sexual behaviours and there's a tendency within our society to minimise it and characterise it as normal sexual development. Our guest on Australian True Crime today, Emma, was the victim of other children's harmful sexual behaviours when she was 13 years old. We know that adult sexual predators tend to seek out vulnerable children to take advantage of. Disturbingly, that approach seems to be instinctive. As you'll hear in this episode, Emma was definitely vulnerable when her attackers singled her out from the crowd.

Shortcut: My violent ex became a murderer

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. A couple of years ago, there was a lady called Lynda living in a small community in Australia, who had bright pink keys. She wanted them to be very visible so that she could find them quickly and get inside her house or car in the event that she was ambushed by her ex-partner. One in night in 2020, though, she didn't make it inside in time, and was bashed and stabbed to death outside her own front door. The following day, when her murder was reported on the news, it was particularly shocking for one family living not too far away: his former family. The offender had been actively stalking his ex-wife, Stephanie, and their children right up until he murdered Lynda. Stephanie joins us today on Australian true Crime to talk about her experience.

Shortcut: The Work of WA Police's Sex Crimes Division

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Dr. Hamish Mckenzie is the Detective Superintendent of the Western Australia Sex Crimes Division. That means he's the boss. As you're about to hear, Sex Crimes is a very challenging area of policing, and Western Australia is the largest single policing jurisdiction in the world. Policing, like everything else, is done differently in WA. But according to Hamish McKenzie, child sexual assault is the one area of law enforcement where egos really do take a backseat to results. He joins us on Australian True Crime, which serving officers rarely do. So we're very grateful to talk about his work and how we can continue to work together in child protection.
