Summary

This is an Australian True Crime short cut. It’s an abridged version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

 

Journalist Nina Young made a podcast documenting her search for the truth about her father. It’s called My Father the Murderer.

Nina uncovered much more than she could ever have imagined, and more than her mother Denise had ever wanted to know. Both Nina and Denise join us to talk about their impressions of the man in question, Allen Ladd and his crimes. We’ll also talk about the profound impact on their relationship of not talking enough about him for most of Nina’s life and then talking about little else for the last two years.

 

The book, My Father the Murderer is available now.
