True Crime Conversations

This episode is an update on the case of Elly Warren, the young Australian woman who died in Mozambique. Since Elly’s death, her father Paul has refused to accept silence. With few answers from authorities, he has spent years chasing the truth across borders, and that pursuit has become his book, Hunting Elly’s Killer. Paul also keeps his website ellywarren.net updated with everything to do with the case.  In this episode, we’re flies on the wall for a conversation between Paul and Charlie Bezzina. They talk about where the case stands now and the frustrations Elly’s family has faced in dealing with police and politicians. Paul explains how he took the case all the way to Parliament, and he shares why staying tenacious is the only way families like his can get answers.

In July 2026, Anastasia Treharne sat in a Sydney courtroom waiting to hear her rapist’s sentence. She had been through a gruelling trial and cross-examined at length, and a jury had found him guilty. The maximum penalty was 14 years in prison. Instead, he was given a three-year community corrections order and 100 hours of community service. He won’t spend a single night behind bars. It wasn’t the first time Anastasia had faced the court system. She was also sexually assaulted at 16, and the two cases played out in very different ways. In this episode, Anastasia tells Gemma about both experiences, from her first assault as a teenager to the sentence she believes is grossly inadequate. She also explains why she refuses to go quietly, and how she is fighting to make sure no one else is let down the way she was. Visit The Echo Campaign's website here.

In October 2003, newlyweds Gabe and Tina Watson travelled from Alabama to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for their dream honeymoon. Just 11 days after their wedding, the couple prepared to dive the SS Yongala shipwreck, one of the world’s most famous dive sites. But within minutes of entering the water, Tina was pulled to the surface unconscious. Despite desperate attempts to save her, she could not be revived. What began as a heartbreaking accident soon raised chilling questions. Why were Gabe’s stories inconsistent? And what really happened underwater that day? In this episode, host Gemma Bath speaks with journalist and author Lindsay Simpson, co-author of Honeymoon Dive, to explore a case that captivated the world and still divides opinion more than 20 years on.
