About this listen

A mysterious disappearance, a brazen murderer and the police who hunted him down.

In March 2020 secret lovers Russell Hill and Carol Clay disappeared in Victoria's remote Wonnangatta Valley. Greg Haddrick tells the gripping inside story of the twists and turns of the police investigation and the trial of pilot Greg Lynn.

In March 2020 a couple disappears from the remote Wonnangatta Valley, leaving a burnt-out campsite. Russell Hill and Carol Clay are secret lovers, and at first it seems they might simply have started a new life somewhere. But the police become increasing convinced that they have been the victims of foul play, even though their bodies have not been found.

So begins a painstaking police investigation, tracing the driver of every car in the area at the time, checking their stories and alibis. Ultimately, after more than a year's work, there seems to be only one driver who cannot be eliminated: Greg Lynn, a Jetstar captain.

Is it possible that this highly successful professional pilot is a killer? Could he be responsible for a number of mysterious disappearances in the Wonnangatta Valley? Where are the bodies and how can the police successfully charge him, given that there are no witnesses, no bodies and no clues as to how they were murdered?

This is the gripping inside story of the pursuit and trial of Greg Lynn.

the sadness of senseless deaths

I enjoyed this so much bcos I've been following the story since they went missing and hoped they would be found and the person that killed them taken to jail. it's so sad that Russell didn't get his justice of his killer but at least now the families have been avenged for their loved ones deaths. I hope to visit bucks camp one day and pay my respects and lay some flowers for them.

Captivating Detective work

An amazingly well delivered story of Australian justice, captivating from start to finish. I enjoyed the detective work completed but the Australian Police

I thought I knew everything there was to know about the case, I was wrong.

Excellent read. I was hoping there would be more information about Greg’s first wife and the mysterious murder suicides of his neighbours but sadly there wasn’t any.

Was this Justice

A bit of a slow start but a good read, impressive police work. Shame about the outcome and not clear what that looked like for pilot or deceased families

Now I know!

I thought I’d had drawn enough from mainstream media and the podcasters to develop a reasonable assessment of the story as it unfolded over the years: I was in two-minds whether this further read would add enough to be considered worthwhile.
And now I’ve finished?
I say the difference after reading this book in relation to my awareness surrounding the events, if not only in the high country and the courtrooms, could be described like “night & day”.
I have much to ponder now and probably shall for some time on many subjects, for me the most perplexing being related police procedures and the pre-trial judicial determinations.
From start until finish my thoughts for the families of the victims are never far away.
