Summary

This is a re-issue of episode #145, “Disgraced” Paul Dale. Victim or Villain?

 

This week, we released an episode with Retired Homicide Detective, Charlie Bezzina, regarding the murders of Terrence and Christine Hodson.

 

We're re-issuing our two part episode in conversation with Paul Dale, so that he can tell his side of the story, and so that we can go further into detail regarding the many key players involved. 

 

Don't forget that Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Melbourne, Sydney and Queensland this July. To get 15 percent off your tickets for our Melbourne show with Charlie Bezzina, make sure to use the codeword "Charlie" at checkout.

 

Show notes:

 

“Disgraced former Drug Squad Detective” Paul Dale has seen his reputation so destroyed that his lawyer says he’s virtually beyond defamation. As his biographer Vikki Petraitis puts it, he’s been accused of everything, and yet, he’s never been convicted of anything. Is he the victim of a huge conspiracy, or the luckiest villain in the ongoing saga of the Melbourne Gang war? You be the judge as he joins us to tell his story over two weeks.

 

Purchase COPS, DRUGS, LAWYER X AND ME by Paul Dale and Vikki Petraitis.
