In this hit investigative podcast, Ryan Wolf investigates some of Australasia's most enduring unsolved criminal cases.
Season Four
On the night of 9th November 1996, Alana Cecil, who had only recently turned 16, was excited to attend the Djerriwah Bonfire Festival in the small city of Melton, just out of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. When she left home that night it would be the last time her family would ever see her alive. Sometime in the early hours of November 10th 1996, someone or some people took a syringe and injected Alana Cecil twice, once in each arm, with a lethal dose of Heroin. They then dumped her body in the back driveway of a vacant home. Eight years later a DNA breakthrough identified the semen of two men on and in Alana's body. One being a 49 year old man known to Police, who when questioned by Police simply answered 'No Comment'.
Neither these men, nor anyone else has ever been held accountable or responsible for Alana's death. And neither men have been able to offer a valid reason their DNA was present.
For 28 years Alana's family have fought for answers, and justice for Alana. Now through this podcast we're hoping that with your help those responsible for her death will finally get what they deserve.
In Season Four of GUILT - The Night of the Bonfire, Ryan heads Down Under, to Melbourne Australia to search for the truth. What happened to Alana Cecil?

But to this day Heidi's body has never been found. Season 3 of GUILT will see Ryan attempt to finally bring an end to this mystery and send Heidi home to her family where she belongs.

Absolutely brilliant work! Addicted!
What was left in Jim’s locker? Were his civilian clothes still in there?
It sounds to me like Jim has either committed suicide, or has an undiagnosed mental condition like Schizophrenia and has happened upon some kind of accident. His behaviour sounds like someone who is unwell, not someone who is in danger or someone who plans to run away.
This podcast literally brings tears to my eyes, thinking of how the lives of these obviously beautiful young people were taken; thinking of the devastating heartache suffered by their loved ones, all for what? Well done for investigating this, Ryan. You rock. (Not so sure about the NZ police - or the police of Australia and the US either, having also listened to some of the investigative podcasts from these countries...)
Ryan, you can hear the disappointment and defeat in your voice, but please know you have done an amazing job with this Season. The truth is there. one day you will find her. Can't wait for next season here, in the land of Aus!
Awesome podcast
the guy who served prison is not "an innocent man"! he is a rapist and murderer. he is a good suspect for this crime and it is right that he was investigated. there may or may not have been a miscarriage of justice. he may or may not be the right man. but he is no "victim" of injustice. he is not "an innocent man", "wrongfully convicted", it is offensive and gross that this series is going to be built around all the injustices done to him, rather than "we got the wrong monster this time".
Excellent podcast, very enlightening content. Good to hear the Te Reo pronunciation improving, although some is still a little jarring! Keep up the good work.
I hate it when it finishes, can't wait for the next one! Brilliant Ryan, you can safely call yourself a journalist now! LOVE IT.
I've listened to this podcast, fantastic content! I heard about your show Ryan via Jack, so great you guys promote each others podcasts.
Excellent investigative podcast. Thank you and well done, Ryan.
Loving the Waiuku case. Lots of work has gone into this, and the police and family interviews are so good.
