We're bringing Australian True Crime live to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this July,

and I have to tell you that Brisbane sold out already.

Good for you, Brisbane, so we've quickly added a second show.

Now we can't keep adding more shows, so please make sure you get your tickets. Our special guests,

our forensic criminologist Santee Mallet in Brisbane and Sydney and the one and only Charlie Bazzina in

Melbourne. There'll be a Q&A of course so you can ask your own burning questions on the night but you have to book quickly.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this podcast is recorded.

We pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and to Aboriginal elders emerging.

The following podcast contains content of a graphic violent nature and is not suitable for children.

We had an outdoor toilet, but behind that was just pure black and I could just imagine this killer sitting up in the tree

waiting for me to walk to the toilet. Yeah it was terrifying and people said

who's next could be me. Any one of us could be asleep in our beds and someone could come and shoot us.

I certainly thought I could be next.

Doors stayed locked, windows stayed locked. We didn't sleep outside anymore. We're a big suspicious, scared sitting.

We've got to find this person.

Everybody was looking at each other. Everybody knew everybody and so

everybody suspected everybody. Life changed completely.

So here I was about to become a mature adult, a grown up. No way was I going to go outside and walk along with this big black abyss of a backyard behind it he could shoot me from.

So I had a potty all that hot summer. You're going to be. That hot summer was in 1963 in Perth and the city was being terrorised by a serial killer, a night stalker who used different methods,

he killed men and women, and for a time police seemed powerless to stop him.

On the night of January 26, Australia Day, he shot five people,

and he changed the city forever.
