It's the 22nd of March 2012, 30 kilometers west of Gloucester, New South Wales Australia,

Malcolm John Naiden, fugitive for seven years and Australia's

most-wanted man, is captured in a dramatic police operation. He's wanted for the

murder of Christie Sculls, shooting with intent to murder, aggravated

in decent assault and multiple break and enter charges.

He was also wanted in connection to the disappearance and suspected murder of his cousin,

Latisha Nolan. Media will call him an expert Bushman, but in reality he's just surviving by stealing what he can and living it rough in the bush.

I'm your host, Cambo, grab a beer and pull up a deck chair.

This is True Crime Island, another True Crime podcast.

Before I go on, this story contains depictions of murder and sexual assault.

It involves people indigenous to Australia, and this may be a sensitive topic.

So if this may upset you, please do not continue.

Malcolm John Naiden born 5th of November 1973 near Dubo, New South Wales, Australia.

Naidan was described as an unemployed shearer, a former Skinner and boner at Dubbo

Abbotoir, a talented artist and has expert bushcraft skills.

Scott Hollywood, author of Malcolm Naden, Ghost of the Outback says,

it was the most wholesome of childhoods,

a loving extended family living in the mid-New South Wales town of Dubo, with kind aunties always ready with a hot

meal and a boisterous group of cousins who swam in creeks, camped in the bush and revolved around their beloved grandparents like planets

around the sun. Yet even the happiest families can raise a troubled child.

Margaret Walker, the auntie of Letitia Nolan, said,

The Malcolm we knew was nice.
