To listen to all of our bonus episodes, plus early and ad-free access to every episode of the podcast, you can subscribe on either Apple Podcasts or at Acast. In episode #336 of Australian True Crime, we spoke to Lily Greer, whose mother, Tina Greer, disappeared from her beachfront home in the Gold Coast Hinterland in 2012. After we published that episode, the Brisbane Coroner held an inquest into Tina's death. The coroner found that Tina Greer had been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her partner, Les Sharman, and that he ultimately took her life. Sharman, a member of the Finks Motorcycle Club, died in a car accident in 2018. Lily joins us again to talk about the inquest and its effect on her life.

This is a re-issue of episode #2 of Australian True Crime. When Marie Greening Zidan's handbag was stolen by two boys, she called the police. She couldn't get to the station to report it, it was a Saturday, and the 73-year-old was caring for her disabled adult son. The police said to her "We can't get to you. We will come on Monday." But Monday came too late. The boys, aged 15 and 16, came back the next day and raped, bashed and murdered the grandmother while her disabled son lay terrified in another room. Just days after the horrifying home invasion, the killers called Marie's daughter and left her taunting phone messages. They were eventually charged with manslaughter. And now, they walk free.

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. In our last episode, we heard from two guests, Wren Dawnsong and Detective Sergeant Anthony Johns, about the search for a very dangerous man who is believed to be living somewhere in Australia right now. His name is Keith Lees, though he is likely using an assumed name. Today, we hear from Christine, whose sister, Meaghan Louise Rose, was found dead at the bottom of a cliff 27 years ago, shortly after she told her family she was leaving Lees. We remind you that we’ve shared photos of Lees on our social media accounts. He should not be approached under any circumstances. *We would also like to remind our listeners that, while Keith Lees has been convicted of one homicide, he has not been convicted of any others. The following episode contains personal views and reflections from those affected by this case and should not be taken as evidence of his guilt or innocence.

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Keith Lees is a very dangerous man who is living somewhere in Australia, and is sought by police across two states for the 1997 murder of Meaghan Louise Rose. He's probably living under an assumed name. He may have stolen someone else's identity and he definitely should not be approached or confronted. In this part one of our story, we hear from one of the children of Keith Lees, Wren Dawnsong. Wren was living with Keith when he murdered Barry Waters, for which he was convicted and served prison time. Wren was also living with her father when Keith's then partner, Meaghan Louise Rose, was found dead at the foot of a cliff on the Sunshine Coast on July 18th, 1997. In part two of this series, we will be speaking with Meaghan's sister. That episode will be available later this week. ATC Plus subscribers will get early and ad-free access. Do you have information regarding any of the cases discussed on this podcast? Please report it on the Crime Stoppers website or by calling 1800 333 000.
