  • A Gripping story

    Such a riveting story with twists and turns, beautifully told by Melanie in an undramatic, pragmatic way. She interviews people in a sympathetic, understanding way, careful not to trip them up so that they can share their story on their terms. However she seeks and provides clarity when she realises the audience needs more information or context.

  • Awesome

    Fantastic podcast, excellent journalism, fascinating insights, extremely disturbing policing. I feel for the Lachies father, as a mother of a 3.5yo myself I would be searching for answers in the same way. more

  • Heartbreaking

    The host did such a great job with this podcast. It’s frustrating to hear how poorly the police handled the case. I feel like Lachie’s mother and siblings know much more than they say. The mother’s lack of interest in finding out the truth is mind boggling. Either she killed him or knows who did and is covering it up. That’s my take after listening to this.

  • 9 episodes for virtually nothing

    Even with the bonus episodes you’re left with a new investigation about to start, a coroners inquest in progress. Then nothing? The stated lack of a timeline then no new construction of it, no new interviews, no potential suspects despite very obvious fingers pointing in one direction. more
