Australian True Crime

Award winning journalist Hedley Thomas joins us to discuss Sick to Death, his podcast and bestselling book examining the case of Dr Jayant Patel, the Bundaberg surgeon accused of causing patient deaths after being barred from practising in the United States.
In this conversation, he unpacks how the investigation uncovered deep failures within Australia’s health system and the extraordinary courage of a nurse who chose to speak up.

Teenagers Abby Williams and Libby German were dropped off at a popular hiking trail near the Monon High Bridge, just outside their hometown of Delphi, Indiana. About 40 minutes later, Libby posted a picture on her Snapchat account showing Abby carefully walking across the bridge. It was the last time they made contact with the outside world, although it wasn't the last time Libby recorded their surroundings.
The girls were reported missing later that afternoon, and community members searched for them through the night. But sadly, their bodies were discovered nearby the following day.
in October 2022, a local man was taken into custody. Who is he? Did he know the girls? Is there any truth to the rumors that other people may yet to be charged? The best person to ask these questions is without a doubt, journalist Susan Hendricks.
