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.

This is a true crime podcast as the title suggests.

So please consider this your warning that it's not suitable for children and it probably will

contain content that may be triggering to some people. Also it's an Australian

true-crime podcast so Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

listeners should be aware it may contain the voices of deceased people.

The producers of this podcast recognize the traditional owners of the land on which it's recorded.

They pay respect to the Aboriginal elders past, present and those emerging.

Our guest today has a story so large. We've decided to split it up into two

episodes and you'll hear part two on Thursday. For reasons that will become

apparent and definitely understandable, our guest has chosen to remain anonymous.

She was raised mostly in a single father household alongside her sister,

and her upbringing was far from ordinary. Her turbulent relationship with her mother

added to the complexity of her early years and although today she's not only a law-abiding

citizen who has had a long career in social work.

In the past, she was anything but.

We begin our conversation with our guests telling us about her earliest childhood memories.
