The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron

Vikki Petraitis co-wrote <em>The Phillip Island Murder</em> with journalist Paul Daley. The story that captivated Vikki from the moment she heard of it has had a similar effect on people worldwide. Long after the original book went out of print, people would stumble on it in second-hand stores and get in touch with her. Interest has never really died down. <em>The Phillip Island Murder</em> was featured on an episode of <em>Sensing Murder</em> in 2005, and then became <em>Case 80: Beth Barnard</em> on <em>Casefile</em> in 2018. <em>Casefile Presents</em> asked Vikki to explore the case in a long-form series.<hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
