This is a "Just The Facts" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Is it that bad if people believe in conspiracy theories? According to our guests for this episode, at first it’s funny, irritating (we all had someone we know who was sharing things that seemed a bit off beam over the past three years) and seemingly ridiculous…until it’s not.SOS and Sandee are two women who live in outer suburban Melbourne and have day jobs and families but they have also been deep diving into the world of places and spaces where people who believe in conspiracy theories and have such a distrust in Governments that they don’t acknowledge the laws that we all have to adhere to…like having a driver's licence, paying council rates and there’s more.SOS and Sandee go to the protests, they watch endless videos and livestreams and are among a network of others who are doing important work to get people to understand this world and the people who have positioned themselves as leaders, or ‘gurus’, in many cases who are making lots of money from followers. Some also have disturbing political motives for what they are doing.More info:You can find SOS and Sandee on Twitter - @SOS149 and @sunnysandeelTinfoil Tales is on the feed of The Conditional Release Podcast Background on Chase Allan - Chase Allan: 5 fast facts you need to knowWhat is the Sovereign Citizens movement in USA?Pseudo-law Adherents in Australia - an interview with someone who clawed his way outSome more people to check out to learn more about what we discussed in this episode:Tom Tanuki (Independent Australia) The White Rose Society - anti-fascist researchers in AustraliaCelery Sorbet on TwitterVaxatious Litigant on TwitterSouthern Poverty Law Centre (US)Hope Not Hate (UK) Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/australiantruecrime.

Trevor Tascas was 27 years old when he suspiciously disappeared in October 2005 from an address in Whittington, a suburb of the regional Victorian city Geelong. His mum Pamela and sister Kirsty join us for this episode. Trevor’s life was up and down and at the time of his disappearance - he was using and dealing drugs but still in sporadic contact with his family.  Investigators believe Trevor had been involved in a dispute with Lawrence Butler, the man he was sharing a house with prior to his disappearance.  In 2009 Lawrence Butler was sentenced to 23 years in jail for Trevor’s murder before his conviction was quashed on appeal.  It’s not the end though for Trevor’s heartbroken family.  Missing Persons Squad detectives are continuing to investigate Trevor Tascas’s disappearance and there’s a $1M reward for information in relation to the person or people responsible for Trevor’s death. Anyone with any information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or file a report online at crimestoppersvic.com.auMore info:Victoria Police appeal for info on Trevor’s murder Cold case: Trevor Tascas | Victoria PoliceCoroners’ findings into the death of Trevor John TascasMore on Lawyer Anthony Strik can be found here: https://strik.com.au/CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

Mishel Karen was a participant on season 7 of Married at First Sight Australia. Mishel didn’t find the love she was looking for on the show, and a quick google will tell you a lot about Mishel’s life since the show ended. She’s now an only fans star and so far, she’s still single. Mishel Karen became the victim of a sophisticated scam from Everrise Brokers, through which she lost a large amount of her own money and friends and relatives of hers lost money to after taking her advice to trust her scammers.  Sadly, many people are too embarrassed to report these crimes, but as you’re about to find out, even though Mishel now realises what’s happened to her and is speaking out about it, that doesn’t mean anyone has swung into action to shut the scam down and protect the rest of us. If you have been affected by anything discussed in this episode you can contact:Lifeline on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people)For ad-free listening, early access and exclusive content, join Australian True Crime Plus on Apple Podcasts here: http://apple.co/australiantruecrimeCREDITS:Host: Meshel LaurieCo Host: Emily WebbGuests: Mishel KarenProducer/Editor: Matthew TankardRecorded at a Hub Australia Media Studio.

We're taking a little break over Summer and using this time to spotlight some of our favourite true-crime podcasts.Introducing... Hoaxed, the new series from Alexi Mostrous and Tortoise, who brought you Sweet Bobby.In 2014, two children told police a shocking story: that they were being abused by a Satanic cult; a cult headed by their father and by parents and teachers at their school in the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead. The story was a lie. But on the internet, that didn't matter.Hoaxed is an investigation into one of Britain's most serious-ever conspiracy theories. A story about a modern-day Satanic panic; about the victims whose lives were destroyed and about the conspiracists who spread the lie around the world. Oh, and it's about our hunt for the perpetrators - the people who forced the kids to lie - the ones who started it all.You can listen to the rest of Hoaxed, wherever you get your podcasts.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/australiantruecrime.
