He said he didn’t want to hurt her, but she saw the 10 inch butcher’s knife in his hand. Mrs G was too scared to say anything and worried about her daughter in the room nearby. The intruder said, ‘I just want to make love to you.’ Then he kissed her on the neck and added, ‘I’ve been watching you. Have you been seeing me?’She said no. Then he pulled her shirt down and told her to undress, reassuring her that he wasn’t going to hurt her. Mrs G, still frightened but no longer paralysed with fear, found her tongue. ‘Don’t you know any girls?’ The attacker with the stocking over his head nodded. ‘Yes, but I like you…’Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the notorious and vile ‘Mr Stinky’, Raymond Edmunds.Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Me

9th of May 1999, Snowtown, South AustraliaJamie and David made the trip to Snowtown, where Jamie had organised for them to check out a cheap computer a mate of his was selling. $200 - a deal that was too good to pass up. They arrived in around an hour, parked out the front of the old bank building and wandered inside.David saw the computer and then he saw John Bunting, who he knew. 'This is the computer,’ Bunting said, and a second later, his offsider Wagner had David by the throat, and they handcuffed the terrified young man. They led him into an area that had once been a bank manager’s office, and proceeded to make him handover his wallet, PIN, and recite a number of phrases and words into a recording device.David, shaking like a leaf, turned to his stepbrother and said ‘Jamie, am I going to go home?’‘Yes,’ Jamie said. ‘Do you promise?’ David asked again. ‘I promise,' Jamie said.Then Bunting put on Live’s Throwing Copper album, and a maniacal grin spread across Wagner’s face.

Tuesday 16th of August, 1994, Lower Light, 50 kilometres north of Adelaide, South Australia.No wind and no rain - the perfect conditions for brothers Jack and Ron Finch to conduct weed spraying on their 4000 acre farm. The brothers worked tirelessly all morning. After lunch, they returned to their arduous work, spotting what appeared to be a fox burrow up ahead. Ron pointed it out and Jack manoeuvred the car around the obstacle, before they happened upon a bone. They both took it for a sheep bone at first, but a closer look confirmed otherwise. It was a human skull. ‘That’s no burrow,’ Ron said, 'that’s someone’s grave back there...'Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss one of Australia's most brutal and notorious series of serial murders.

On 25 April 1978, Bill and Valda Thomas were mushrooming in remote bushland alongside Swamp Road near the South Australian town of Truro, when they stumbled upon what they thought was the bone from the leg of a cow. When they couldn't shake the image from their minds, they returned to the area two days later for another look. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the bone had a shoe attached; inside the shoe was human skin and painted toenails...Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this slow-burning case about a series of missing women who would remain unconnected until the discovery of several sets of human remains in remote bushland near Truro in 1979. The disappearances were becoming more frequent, until they suddenly stopped. Police would discover from a tip-off there was good reason for that, and their subsequent interview of a submissive and infatuated wingman would paint a horrifying picture of a dominant young and charismatic psychopath.Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecri

The bodies of five young men were discovered in the broader area of Adelaide between the years 1979 and 1983. All of the bodies displayed signs of brutal sexual torture, leading to their deaths. Some were mutilated and dismembered.A doctor was tried and acquitted for one of the murders, and an accountant was imprisoned for life for committing another. But four of the murders remain technically unsolved. The popular theory is that many more people were involved than just this solitary accountant from an outer Adelaide suburb.Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss these series of abhorrent crimes that shocked the state of South Australia. They discuss the victims, their families, the police investigation, the arrests and trials, and finally, 'The Family'.

Arthur Stanley Brown was charged in 1998 for the August 26, 1970 rape and murder of Judith and Susan Mackay in Townsville, Queensland. The jury failed to reach a verdict and a new trial was blocked on the grounds that Brown was mentally incapable of understanding the charges against him.Brown's arrest attracted wide publicity, leading to a witness to the abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from the Adelaide Oval in 1973 identifying him as the man she had seen. Brown was subsequently linked the the Disappearance of the Beaumont Children, and other cold cases.Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the sick and twisted life of a man who, in death, is just as much a phantom as he was in life. Nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel for his ability to show up anywhere, anytime, his history is largely unaccounted for, meaning we will likely never truly know just how evil he was...Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFac
