A young backpacker's disappearance in New Zealand would lead to a massive change in how their media covers violence against women.

This is the Grace Mullane story.

Hi, Amy. Hi Amy and hello listeners.

Hi, I heard you say New Zealand. You know I love New Zealand. You haven't been, right?

No, because we, why have I not been to New Zealand? Too long of a flight. Yeah, too long,

went, way, too long of a flight. So pretty there. You would love it. The wine is so pretty. I mean, the wine is so good. The wine is so good. That's one of those slips. One of those slips. No. I would love to see New Zealand. So it's like one of those places I feel like I could get there and I just wouldn't come back. So maybe I'll save it for like, yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying maybe I'll save it, you know, for like Winnihanas a little older. But yes, we are covering an international case today in more ways than one, actually. Grace Malane was from England and the crime we're talking about happened in New Zealand. So covering a lot of territory here. I watched a documentary on this case and while it was very focused on police work

and the critical CCTV footage of the investigation, there were also some surprises and policy

changes that made me think this was a good case to cover because you know that

I do like also policy analysis as one of my... What's a documentary called? The documentaries called The

The Lie, the Murder of Grace Mullane, and it's on Netflix. I'll reference it again at the end.

I found it very interesting, and it's one of those where you get to see a lot.

You're not just looking at people outside of the investigation.

You're looking at the CCTV footage, police interrogation.

So I think that's why I found it interesting.

But before we get to all of that and the discussion, let's meet Grace Mullane.

Born in the Brentwood District of Essex, England,

Grace was the third child, an only daughter, born to parents Jillian and David in 1996.

She was a very happy and outgoing young woman with a very tight and loving family, and you can just

tell how close they were, even from looking at pictures.

In 2018, Grace graduated from University of Lincoln with a degree in advertising and marketing.

And before looking for work, Grace decided to have a fun gap year by traveling the world, starting in South America and ending in New Zealand.

Did you ever have a gap year?
