Description

Colleen Gwynne was the chief investigator of one of Australia's most-publicised murders - that of Peter Falconio, who was killed by Bradley John Murdoch in 2001. Falconio’s girlfriend Joanne Lees managed to escape, and Colleen saw how wrong the cops got it, when it came to how Joanne’s story was told to the world. Colleen shares why she wanted to join the police, how her mother instilled values of respect and fairness and empathy in her and her siblings, and the darkest days of her life when she was wrongly accused of a crime.  Colleen now lives in rural Victoria. She finds it hard to wind down, even though she’s no longer working in the social justice space. Her desire to make life better for kids who haven’t had the best start in life, still drives her today.
