About this listen
Box Hill, Victoria. July 7th, 1984.
A quiet winter night in suburban Melbourne turned into a waking nightmare when a young mother, Margaret Tapp, and her two children — 9-year-old Seana and 7-year-old Shaun — were brutally murdered in their home on Kent Street.
There was no forced entry. No robbery. No motive. Just a devastating act of violence carried out with surgical precision.
The killer? David Bennett, a 15-year-old neighbor who had once babysat the children. The boy across the lane.
What followed was one of Australia's most haunting and controversial murder cases — a psychological unraveling, a courtroom drama, and a parole decision that still leaves the community reeling.
This episode examines the tragedy behind closed doors, the failures of justice, and the lingering weight of a house that refuses to forget.
Because some crimes fade.
And others echo forever through the walls.
