    This is a re-issue of our very first episode of Australian True Crime.

    Next week, we’re uploading a brand new episode with Charlie Bezzina, and to celebrate Australian True Crime moving to the iHeart network, we wanted to take a step back to where it all began.

  • Shortcut: Father, Teacher, Child Killer

    Shortcut: Father, Teacher, Child Killer
    Feb 9 2026

    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.

    Ten-year-olds Louise Bell and Michael Black were abducted from their bedrooms in South Australia, years apart, before police uncovered the truth about a trusted teacher who was hiding a double life of extreme violence.

    An innocent man was wrongly accused along the way, and investigators were left asking whether there may have been other victims linked to the case.

    Our guest is Michael Madigan, author of Father, Teacher, Child Killer.
