Trial By Wine

If there's such a thing as lam maxing, then this episode is about police minning - where the police do less than the minimum to solve a crime.  Swanny tells the story of Sherry Leighty, who disappeared without a trace.  Police indifference, nasty inlaws and local gossip conspired to keep the truth about Sherry hidden for 11 years.  Only her sisters determination saw her killer found, and even then not brought to adequate justice.

Schmidty tells the story of Malcolm Naden who holds the record for longest time spent by a fugitive on the lam in Australia after murdering two young women.

Clarky continues the story of the Stayner brothers.  Cary Stayner was the reason Steven didn't get to be a park, now we find out why.

Clarky brings the tragic story of Steven Stayner to the jury as part of a two part series on the Stayner brothers.  Steven was just seven when he was abducted off the street.

Clarky tells the story of Jane, a modern slave in Melbourne.  Keep your peepers peeled people, as this is the sort of story that could be much more common than we realise.  

Swanny tells one of the most disturbing stories we've heard on this podcast.  The murder of Reagan Simmons- Hancock and her unborn child and the circumstances that lead up to the crime will haunt the jury for a long time.  Trigger warning for violence against pregant women and babies.

Schmidty's hip replacement has gone well, but recovery has given her way too much time on her hands to doom scroll. This episode covers the nefarious deeds of influencers and a few other random tangents the jury go off on.

Clarky tells the terrible story of Gregor and Irma Palasics, two elderly grandparents who were repeatedly robbed, eventually leading to the tragic death of Irma.  Thanks to advances in forensic technology and excellent police work, eventually the family found out who was responsible.

When life gives you lemons (or crippling debt), make lemonade (capitalise on your own nefarious behaviour).  That's the upshot of this story brought to us by Swanny.  Khouri Richins didn't quite have it all going on, but that was never going to hold her back. 

Schmidty survived her hip replacement and comes in hot with this story of medical malfeasance, which is dedicated to the lovely anaesthetic nurse who was vibing pre surgery with her.  Fortunately, there were no incompetent surgeons on that day, unlike in this story of Christopher Duntsch who killed and/or maimed almost all of his surgical patients.
