The Sting – Catching Daniel Morcombe’s Killer - #158 May 13, 2020

Show notes

Although Queensland police visited Brett Peter Cowan just days after Daniel Morcombe first disappeared in 2003, it took 8 years, an inquest and an incredibly intricate covert operation for them to find a way to convict him of Daniel’s abduction and murder. Journalist Kate Kyriacou covered the case and wrote a book about the covert operation THE STING: The Undercover Operation That Caught Daniel Morcombe's Killer

The Narelle Fraser Conversations – Retired Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Sandra Nicholson - #153 Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Retired Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Sandra Nicholson isn’t the kind of person who seeks attention. Fortunately Narelle knows what an impressive copper lurks beneath the mild-mannered exterior of this quietly spoken lady. She’s even sent other coppers to jail. Sandra Nicholson is a hands-on, supportive leader, but she’s no pushover.

Gary Raymond worked some of the highest profile and most challenging cases in NSW policing in living memory, including the brutal abduction and murder of Anita Cobby and the drive-by shooting of 5-year-old Tess Debrincat.
