Nicole awoke in her bed with someone next to her, but it wasn’t her boyfriend like she first thought. It was someone else. She grabbed his face, dug her fingernails in hard, and the man jumped up from the bed. He was tall and wearing a light coloured silk kimono. Nicole screamed for her father in the next room, and the man fled from the house. Nicole called the police and they attended the house, but the intruder had escaped, leaving behind just one clue as to his identity; the semen-stained white and apricot coloured kimono.

It was the 17th of April, 1999, and in Adelaide, South Australia, two rookie police officers were coming to the end of their shift. As the two young officers returned to their vehicle, they noticed a handwritten note on their windscreen, wedged under the wipers. It read: ‘There’s a dead girl's body in the shrubs of the grounds near the main road of the Payneham Police Station. This is no joke.’ Join Shaun as he tells the tale of two seemingly unconnected murders which occurred two years apart, and the phone calls which led them to the perpetrator who’d committed both crimes.

As the car drew closer, Daniel turned on the kitchen light and headed out front to see who was arriving at 3AM. The family dogs were barking out the back, attuned to the strange hour the person was visiting. Daniel walked down the driveway to see the driver, who got out of the car. But he’d left the headlights on, so it was too bright for Daniel to clearly see who it was...

Not long after sunrise Peter Leutenegger was flying his chopper across the Jubilee Downs Station, singing along to a few of his favourite Slim Dusty songs. He was mustering horses in preparation for the upcoming Fitzroy Crossing Rodeo; a popular annual event that saw many people travel to the area, when he noticed something unusual on the ground below. It appeared to be a vehicle, but it was well covered by some form of camouflage. The power of his chopper blades slightly blew the green covering off the vehicle, and Peter thought he’d seen a man lying down inside, a man with no shirt on, camouflage pants, and a bandanna wrapped around his head...

Anzac Day Friday, 25 April 2014 John Pearson said it was a bleak irony that his brother Martin was killed on a day that was all about mateship and courage. “This is an act of supreme cowardice and I can’t believe somebody’s conscience hasn’t got the better of them and they won’t be struck by an act of guilt,” “I can’t believe the extreme irony of someone leaving a vet by the side of the road. Being left for dead on Anzac Day, a day we remember mateship and self-sacrifice, and he was left as roadkill.” Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the tragic hit and run death of a well-respected vet and family man, and the police investigation that uncovered the culprit, and another strange death he was connected with from six years earlier.

On the 26th of May 1990 a number of calls came in to 3AW’s late night lonely hearts program called Matchmakers. One seemingly eligible bachelor received several interested parties and potential matches: “G’Day. I’m Rodney from Castlemaine. I’m 35, a Gemini, and a Marine Biologist.

On the 14th of June of 2018, the day after the murder of Melbourne comedian, Eurydice Dixon, police comments in the media drew the ire of the public, with the drawn inference that that women needed to exercise greater care in potentially compromising situations, like walking home alone through a park at night. Kon Karapanagiotidis, a lawyer and social worker, tweeted the following after police comments to the media: “I can only imagine the rage and fear women feel to see women die doing everyday mundane things like walking home, like they do too, only to then be told it’s their fault and that they need to be more careful,” “Stop blaming women. Make men the issue.” Hundreds of people shared the tweet, including a young 24 year old woman named Toyah Cordingley...

With Purana still gathering evidence to support their case, Federal Police, led by Agent Jarrod Ragg, who’d been relentlessly pursuing Tony for some time, made the request to have Tony’s bail revoked. But without the evidence to support their reasoning, Justice Gillard did not revoke bail just yet. Instead, Tony was free to go after his day in court on Friday March the 17th, 2006. Outside court, he gave Purana Detective Jim Coghlan from the Asset Location Squad, a new mobile number he was using. Tony smiled at Jim as he scrawled the number on his palm. On Monday the 20th of March, 2006, Tony didn’t report for bail at South Melbourne Police station, and his legal team led by Con Helitois, were forced to withdraw from the case.

Mick was on a mission to find Graham’s killers. Benji and Carl said they had nothing to do with it, but they’d heard that Asians, possibly the Chinese, had something to do with it. Mick was unmoved by the suggestion and word had it he was next on the list. He said to Carl; ‘You walk away from this and mind your own business. But anything with you, that’s your problem, but if anything comes my way then I’ll send somebody to you. I’ll be careful with you, you be careful with me. I believe you, you believe me, now we’re even. That’s a warning.

Carl Williams had a new attack dog. Andrew “Benji” Veniamin was now spending the best part of his days with a new best mate; despite him allegedly accepting a contract from Jason Moran to off Carl. The way Benji told it, he’d gotten his way into the roof cavity of Carl’s house one night, and was primed to do the job, when he heard Roberta singing to their daughter Dhakota, while putting her to bed. Benji knew then, he couldn't kill Carl. Others might think the lure of easy drug money on offer from the likes of Tony Mokbel, and his friend Carl, spoke louder than Roberta’s singing voice. Whatever the case, Benji had his foot in their camp now, and it wouldn’t be long until he put his skills to use, skills he’d be building up since his childhood… Join Shaun for Part 3 of The Melbourne Gangland Killings.

13th of October 1999 Carl drove his hire car to Gladstone Park, a northwest suburb of Melbourne, and waited for Mark and Jason to arrive. When they did, the trio hopped into Carl’s hire car and drove around until they found a small reserve in Barrington Crescent. It was mid afternoon, and the small park was flanked by residential homes. When the subject of prices and past deals gone awry came up, Jason produced a small .22 Derringer and put the barrel to Carl’s gut. ‘No Jason’, Carl yelled, before the shot went off, the slug going into Carl’s abdomen.

6th February 1995, Carlton, Victoria Alphonse left Lygon St and went to the Richmond Hotel to attend the wake of a dearly departed. He drank and punted until midnight, leaving for a party in St Kilda. As two partygoers left, they saw Alphonse out the front, his blood boiling amidst a verbal tirade he was unleashing on a man named Greg Workman over a perceived debt. When it became evident Greg didn’t have the money, Alphonse decided on a different approach.

Friday 23rd November 1978, Murwillimbah, NSW Inside the branch of the Bank of NSW, the crew of thieves worked quickly and quietly. They bypassed the combination lock of the vault and made their way inside. Shrouded in darkness, one of the bandits drilled into the safe, just above the lock, to expose the tumblers. From here, he could manipulate them and gain access. Another thief cut a hole into the second floor of the building as backup escape plan. But they wouldn’t need it.
