The Murder of Minnie Callan

6/12/2025 • 73 min

On a freezing night in Norman’s Cove, a brutal attack leaves the small coastal town shaken to its core. As police investigate, a twisted plot starts to unravel… The intention of this episode is to honour the victim of a harrowing crime that was largely ignored by the media at the time, and resulted in harmful rumours. Some names have been changed to respect the privacy of those involved. *Additional content warning: this case contains some details of graphic violence. Please take care when listening.
