A Police Veteran's Expertise on Street Gangs Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

Pat Boyle APM is a 47 year veteran of Victoria Police, who spent a large part of his career working as a Detective Inspector and Detective Superintendent with a focus on gang related crime.

He's also carved out a career for himself in academia, publishing a master's thesis entitled "What is a Street Gang?" It turns out the answer to that question is much more complicated that I imagined.

In episode #336 of Australian True Crime, we spoke to Lily Greer, whose mother, Tina Greer, disappeared from her beachfront home in the Gold Coast Hinterland in 2012.

After we published that episode, the Brisbane Coroner held an inquest into Tina's death. The coroner found that Tina Greer had been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her partner, Les Sharman, and that he ultimately took her life.

Sharman, a member of the Finks Motorcycle Club, died in a car accident in 2018. Lily joins us again to talk about the inquest and its effect on her life.

Murdered by Children - Re-Issue Jan 15, 2025

Show notes

This is a re-issue of episode #2 of Australian True Crime.

When Marie Greening Zidan's handbag was stolen by two boys, she called the police. She couldn't get to the station to report it, it was a Saturday, and the 73-year-old was caring for her disabled adult son.

The police said to her "We can't get to you. We will come on Monday." But Monday came too late. The boys, aged 15 and 16, came back the next day and raped, bashed and murdered the grandmother while her disabled son lay terrified in another room.

Just days after the horrifying home invasion, the killers called Marie's daughter and left her taunting phone messages. They were eventually charged with manslaughter. And now, they walk free.
