0:00.0	We're bringing Australian True Crime live to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this July,
0:04.3	and I have to tell you that Brisbane sold out already.
0:07.4	Good for you, Brisbane, so we've quickly added a second show.
0:10.3	Now we can't keep adding more shows, so please make sure you get your tickets. Our special guests,
0:15.2	our forensic criminologist Santee Mallet in Brisbane and Sydney and the one and only Charlie Bazzina in
0:19.9	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.

1:45.8	teenager at the time. In fact, Annette was just a year younger than me and I've continued
1:51.2	to follow her case throughout my life.
1:54.0	I went back to Tuomba and interviewed Annette's sister Linda Mason for one of our earliest episodes of Australian True Crime.
2:01.0	That episode is no longer available for download, but we're
2:04.4	revisiting the case this week. When I met Linda Mason, she'd been asking for
2:09.3	many years for a second inquest into Annette's murder, which was still listed as an unsolved homicide.
2:16.0	The Queensland coroner finally agreed to conduct that inquest in 2022, and the evidence was explosive.
