Yeah naaaaa calling build-out on a 11 year old managing departments and no one clicks on.????
My dogs have no training and can find me and more often, the smallest crumb ever to be dropped. GO S.A.R.D
They never slept I don't know how, says a cop. I know how Victorian police stayed awake for days. Lots of people do remember
VicPol breached the law, and they breached the breach!
love this guy and his reasons why
I had my Facebook profile stolen last May by the same means. 14 years gone and FB won't give it back at all. all my photos and videos have gone. I was so upset.
you didn't explain how the DNA was linked to the suspect without him providing a sample
Hey Andrew, not sure if this is where to ask a question, but this search for over a mth now in Ballarat. Have the good proper dogs been used at all in this search, at any stage ???
I've heard your plug for "Boy Stallone's Universe" on a number of podcasts and would love to watch on Netflix, but to date (6 January 2024) there is nothing but a trailer. ???
o you
if this journalist is so sure, then it's up to him to bring new evidence. He can't accuse the woman's boyfriend of killing her without proof.
Needs more variety. Not hard to find new stories not tell the same ones 100 times. We all know about the gangland war it was nearly 20 years ago.. love your voice but
is there a good DNA lab in NT or have the swabs been sent to QLD?
Crump?
this won't play
thank you Madeline
Fr Walsh. was he the parish priest in Rockingham in thev90s?
its interesting how Creed's ability to keep cool under pressure was the first indication he was a psychopath. 🤔
why was there 2 weeks between podcasts when it's always been weekly?
Yes, congratulations Andrew and Paul on one of the very best true crime podcasts.
