Welcome to the first episode in a series of upcoming quirky stories about Urban Legends, originally released on Patreon when we were making episodes. All have an element of criminal seediness or conspiracy about them. And as they play out, we’ll get to the bottom of whether there’s any truth to these tales or if they’re purely myths. In this first episode, we explore the rumours and realities of f...

We have decided to finish up making episodes for True Blue Crime. This will undoubtedly be a surprise and disappointing for many people, but we want to finish things on our terms and now feels like the right time to do that. It’s a decision that we don't take lightly and we’ve been discussing for a while now, and we’ve reached it together. When we started this show, we committed to ten episodes, a...

Robbie and Amber spoke on the phone regularly, but fell out of touch as time went on. But then one day, all of a sudden, Amber was moving into Robbie’s house, which was a surprise to him. He asked his Mum, Anne, why Amber was there, was she boarding with them now or something? Anne said words to the effect of ‘you know what your father’s like...” Join Shaun and Chloe as they cover the disappearanc...

It was mid afternoon on May the 7th 1990, and Wendy Davis was working at the Hollywood Hospital in Nedlands.  She was at her desk, immersed in her work, when she heard a voice behind her ask ‘is it okay if I use the toilet?’ Wendy swivelled in her chair and saw a young Telecom worker, all of 20, 21 years old. She nodded. A moment later Wendy felt a hand on her shoulder and another hand over h...

Nicole awoke in her bed with someone next to her, but it wasn’t her boyfriend like she first thought. It was someone else. She grabbed his face, dug her fingernails in hard, and the man jumped up from the bed. He was tall and wearing a light coloured silk kimono. Nicole screamed for her father in the next room, and the man fled from the house. Nicole called the police and they attended the house,...

It was the 17th of April, 1999, and in Adelaide, South Australia, two rookie police officers were coming to the end of their shift. As the two young officers returned to their vehicle, they noticed a handwritten note on their windscreen, wedged under the wipers. It read: ‘There’s a dead girl's body in the shrubs of the grounds near the main road of the Payneham Police Station. This is no joke.’ Jo...

As the car drew closer, Daniel turned on the kitchen light and headed out front to see who was arriving at 3AM. The family dogs were barking out the back, attuned to the strange hour the person was visiting. Daniel walked down the driveway to see the driver, who got out of the car. But he’d left the headlights on, so it was too bright for Daniel to clearly see who it was... Join Shaun and Chloe as...

This was a guy who’d worked a number of different jobs in his time - aside from the Navy, he’d been a sheet metal fabricator, a commercial diver, air system technician, a welder and even a postie. He’d also lived in pretty much every Australian State, and even ventured to New Zealand at one stage between May and August of 2006. If Sara Lee Davey and Rachael Campbell were indeed two of his victims,...

24th of November 1989, Fremantle Prison, Western Australia The trio removed the bar and slipped out of the workshop window and gained access to the roof of the print shop. From there, they went along the guard’s walkway, jumped from roof to roof, until they hit the edge of the prison grounds.  One of them missed the last jump, fell and injured his leg. The other two vaulted over the outer wal...

Not long after sunrise Peter Leutenegger was flying his chopper across the Jubilee Downs Station, singing along to a few of his favourite Slim Dusty songs. He was mustering horses in preparation for the upcoming Fitzroy Crossing Rodeo; a popular annual event that saw many people travel to the area, when he noticed something unusual on the ground below. It appeared to be a vehicle, but it was well...

Anzac Day Friday, 25 April 2014 John Pearson said it was a bleak irony that his brother Martin was killed on a day that was all about mateship and courage. “This is an act of supreme cowardice and I can’t believe somebody’s conscience hasn’t got the better of them and they won’t be struck by an act of guilt,”  “I can’t believe the extreme irony of someone leaving a vet by the side of the...

On the 26th of May 1990 a number of calls came in to 3AW’s late night lonely hearts program called Matchmakers. One seemingly eligible bachelor received several interested parties and potential matches:  “G’Day. I’m Rodney from Castlemaine. I’m 35, a Gemini, and a Marine Biologist. I enjoy basketball and squash. I’m a non-smoker and not a big drinker. I’m just looking for someone to share in...

On the 14th of June of 2018, the day after the murder of Melbourne comedian, Eurydice Dixon, police comments in the media drew the ire of the public, with the drawn inference that that women needed to exercise greater care in potentially compromising situations, like walking home alone through a park at night. Kon Karapanagiotidis, a lawyer and social worker, tweeted the following after police com...

With Purana still gathering evidence to support their case, Federal Police, led by Agent Jarrod Ragg, who’d been relentlessly pursuing Tony for some time, made the request to have Tony’s bail revoked. But without the evidence to support their reasoning, Justice Gillard did not revoke bail just yet. Instead, Tony was free to go after his day in court on Friday March the 17th, 2006.  Outsi...
