Show Notes
In 1986, Perth and the whole of Western in Australia was flying high, booming at this time, with the likes of Iron Ore magnate Lang Hancock and the occasionally corrupt Alan Bond flexing their business muscles.
Yachts were docked aplenty in Fremantle post Australia’s 1983 America’s Cup win, which Alan Bond actually bankrolled.
In the news, the number of disappearances of local Perth women were starting to raise many eyebrows, and then, news of the bodies hit the headlines…
Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the infamous Moorhouse Murders, and the twisted tale of serial killer couple, David and Catherine Birnie.
