  • One-sided

    I really appreciate the good intentions behind this podcast. We need more good people doing investigations of this sort.

    More information about pre-suicidal and suicidal behaviour needed to be included from an expert in the subject, as well as input from a psychologist and/or complicated grief counsellor on possible reactions within the families of those who commit suicide.

    I am a suicide survivor with two (now grown) wonderful boys who I would do anything for, and also a member of a family wh... more

  • But why don’t women report? - just listen to the ex police in this show

    Incredibly frustrating listening to the ex policeman who investigated this case continually talking over and shouting down the host of the show. She was smart to let him do it because it made it really clear that it wasn’t properly investigated and how Koch disdain police have for women, as victims and in general

  • Made it through episode 7

    This investigation lead nowhere. And if Ken did it, why wouldn’t he have pushed for suicide instead of saying he didn’t think she would do it? All of this work because the act itself is viewed badly there.

  • Listened through 11 episodes

    Listened to all 11 episodes up to October 2023. Very well researched with the familiar voice of Alison Sandy (from the lady vanishes) it may or may not have been suicide, it may or may not have been murder but questions need to be asked and flaws in the initial handling acknowledged. the interview with the cop shows us exactly what a closed mind looks like and was educational example in human behaviour.

  • Waste of data

    Extremely repetitive and the most frustrated I’ve been listening to an Australian podcast. Host’s facts and story line seems to be just solely based off female suicide with a gun is very rare 1/10 so that means it can’t be true. Host is trying to make a case against ex partner because of statistics and things like it was near a sports oval and it was a hot day so why would you sit in a car drinking and smoking.

    The whole podcast comes across as if the host desperately wants to to put someone in... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

12 - Courting Justice
Q: Will the judge reserve his decision for a later time?
It will probably more than likely be he'll want to go away, reflect on it, think about it and then give us a decision later on down the track.
12 - Courting Justice
Q: How confident are you this morning that this is going to go your way and you're going to get on the next step towards justice for Gwen?
I'm hoping that all the planets will align and that we'll get the outcome that she so rightly deserves the outcome that she should have had back in 1983.
13 - Breakthrough
Q: Is this a landmark decision for all victims?
It has to be seen as a landmark decision, because a judge today has overruled the Northern Coroner’s decision in 2021.
13 - Breakthrough
Q: What does it mean to you to have a judge now say the coroner got it wrong?
It's very validating, not just for me as Gwen's sister, but for Gwen herself as well.
