Outback Murder
Inside Crime: The Experts – Murders in the Australian Outback
In this gripping episode, we journey into the vast and unforgiving Australian outback — a landscape of beauty, isolation, and deadly mystery. We examine cases where the trip of a lifetime ended in tragedy, including the murder of Peter Falconio — a crime that inspired comparisons to Wolf Creek — the chilling Spear Creek murders, and the baffling disappearance of Paddy Moriarty from the tiny outback town of Larrimah.
Were these isolated acts of violence, or did serial predators exploit the vastness of the outback? How do investigators solve crimes in some of the most remote terrain on earth, where evidence disappears as quickly as the tracks in the dust?
We also mark 40 years since the shocking murders of Anita Cobby and Sallie-Anne Huckstepp — cases that still cast long shadows, with lingering questions and enduring public scrutiny. With expert analysis, investigative insight, and the latest global crime updates, this episode explores what happens when isolation becomes opportunity — and when the truth is buried far from civilisation.

Obsessions
On this episode our experts explore two high profile cases that have become ‘obsessions’.
On November 7, 1974, the body of British nanny, Sandra Rivett, was discovered in a mail sack in the basement of a Belgravia townhouse in London. The chief suspect was the father of the children, Richard John Bingham, the seventh earl of Lucan who disappeared shortly after the murder. While most of Lord Lucan’s friends and family believed he had taken his own life, no body has ever been found. The manhunt for Lucan has lasted decades and has become the obsession for Sandra’s son, Hampshire builder, Neil Berriman. Neil believes his mother’s murderer Lord Lucan is alive and well and living in Queensland as an elderly gay Buddhist monk.
We also feature the story of a well-to do Qatari who became obsessed with a psychic she’d met on ‘Purple Garden’, a psychic website offering advice on love. He won her confidence with a promise to heal her misery, she fell for him and handed over her bosses million-dollar jewellery collection for ‘cleansing via courier' but unfortunately there was no fairy-tale ending.

Serial Killer Couples
Serial Killer Couples are fortunately rare beast and in this episode we'll talk about two utterly evil couples - one from the UK and the other from Australia.
Fred and Rosemary West raped and killed at least 12 young women over a 20 year period from 1967 to 1987, including their own children.
The Wests’ house at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, where many of the crimes took places, and where the ghastly couple dismembered and buried the remains of their victims, was demolished in 1996.
One year before the Wests were stopped - on the other side of the world in Western Australia - Catherine and David Birnie sexually assaulted and murdered four women over a 5 week rampage in October 1986. Fortunately, their fifth victim Kate Moir managed to escape after she was lured into their car and taken to the Birnies home at the now notorious 3 Moorhouse St, Willagee – a suburb in Perth’s south-west. The victim’s quick thinking and bravery brought an end to the Birnies dreadful crimes. These are modern day horror stories..
