The focus stays on David and the evidence surrounding his death. What happened after the gathering—and who could help fill the gap in his last hours? We're telling that story tonight.

Show notes

A tiger shark disgorged a tattooed human arm before visitors at Sydney’s Coogee Aquarium in 1935. The limb led police to missing man James Smith and a murder investigation far stranger than a shark attack. Terrifying & True follows the Shark Arm case through Patrick Brady, businessman Reginald Holmes and the tangled accounts of Sydney’s criminal underworld. A crucial witness died before giving evidence, and the rest of Smith’s body was never recovered. How much could one severed arm reveal—and what could investigators actually prove? We're telling that story tonight.
