  • Questionable Police/Criminal Relations and Domestic Violence

    Edit/Update Season 2:

    Please look into the senior investigators’ case background, their political connections, and especially whether or not they have any relationship with David’s family (his father or him etc.).

This is in additio... more

  • Narrator fail

    Shocking narrator who should never be allowed to work again. Ridiculous intonation and pauses. Had to stop after 5mins. He was unbearable and it’s such a shame for the subject.

  • Poor journalism

    I’ve got as far as brothers in arms and that’s where Illl eave this one! Gareth is all over the place but he is adamant that Amy had killed herself. I believe him!

    Suicide is terrible for the families but what is worse is grubby journalists capitalising on it!

  • Justice for Amy

    The continued apathy towards women being killed by current/previous intimate partner every week in Australia.

    The lack of accountability from those involved in the actual death and the following “investigation” from the detectives that followed.

    It highlights the systemic failures within the po... more
