Description
The Teacher’s Pet creator Hedley Thomas returns with a new podcast investigation for The Australian.
Bronwyn Winfield disappeared 31 years ago from the idyllic surf town of Lennox Head. She was a devoted mother of two little girls, and was going through a painful separation from her husband, Jon Winfield.
Jon Winfield has always maintained Bronwyn just went away and denies any wrongdoing.

The husband always mentioning his wife's mental health issues is very suspicious.
There is a lot of repetition of the actor reading John's interview, it's not adding anything.
Sounds like the family can't be objective in this, as they seem to be gatekeeping people's views and opinions on the investigation and don't like to hear strong evidence against their own father. Although it must be hard having such a personal family tragedy broadcasted for the world to hear, I'm sure it's not easy. but Obviously a proper police investigation at the start would have helped. but it's clear the family has had the truth hidden from them internally.. whatever that truth is.
This episode won't play!
how come we now have to pay to hear the new episodes of Bronwyn?
I think he was still just really trying to prove his timing of where he was..regardless of what else came forth..
I've missed something here? Didn't Crystal say that her and Lorna had gone to bed, how did he get the sheets off their beds without them being asleep somewhere else?
Did John not only keep the receipt for petrol as some kind of albi as to where he was when - BUT could he have kept it all the years also to be a memento of what he did.
The thing that is so confusing, is where were the kids when he may have disposed of Bronwyn. Because if she supposedly tucked the kids into bed then how has he stripped the children's beds to perhaps wrap a body in.
I wonder if John could have had Jody pretend to be megan and give the false statement. I just feel like Jody was willing to stick by her father no matter what. Because she clearly had a dislike for Bronwyn.
The only other reason I could think John would have gone to the Police Station straight away when he got back was perhaps to tell the police she had moved in and changed the locks, and to query was she allowed. I just wouldn't think if he went there in relation to her, maybe filing an AVO that he would only be in there for such a short amount of time.
I'm not convinced that John's daughter Jody doesn't know what happened to Bronwyn. She appears to be the reason why John went back that day.
any chance that he was involved in the apron wearing goat jockey club. or friends with the cops
The podcast is about Bronwyn not about Lyn Dawson I just found episode 1 too slow won't be listening to further episodes too repetitive.
Listening to the letter that Bronwyn wrote to her step daughter made me get teary, it was beautiful and I would love to have received that much support from anyone. Those weren't the words of someone about to leave without a word. Absolutely not. I really hope this podcast helps shine light on whatever happened to Bronwyn, and if, as is probable, it was her ex husband I'd hate to be him right now, he should enjoy freedom while it lasts.
