Welcome to True Crime Brewery, I'm Jill and I'm Dick.

So way back on July 2nd 1970, tourists visiting Lockard Gorge Australia found a crashed car teetering on the edge of an ocean-side cliff.

It looked like the car could plunge into the water at any moment.

After investigators were called to the scene, the mystery grew deeper.

The car's license plate was traced to a family living over 100 miles away.

Once the car was towed from the cliff's edge, the inside was inspected.

Investigators were horrified to find four dead bodies, including three young children inside.

The backseat of the car had been removed and someone had attached a hose leading from the tailpipe to the front window, suggesting a suicide.

This fine, this find sent waves of grief and confusion throughout Australia.

There were so many questions and so very few answers.

Join us at the quiet end for a fugitive father, a conversation about a terrible crime, which has

become an enduring mystery.

The victims in the car were identified as members of the Crawford family from 136 Cardinal Road, but the father was missing.

So it seemed possible that the father, Elmer Crawford, had been thrown from the vehicle in the crash.

That is until witnesses came forward to say that they had seen Elmer

after the car was found.

So quite a mystery, quite a disturbing case. I'll give a warning here.

It is a disturbing case. I gotta say that. Really disturbing. So let's do a beer. I'm going to drink some nice

Australian beer. I picked a brewery called White Rabbit and we're going to drink some

white rabbit dark ale. This is an English brown ale it's only 4.9%
