  • Julie Hatton's Death at Darreen

    Julie Hatton's Death at Darreen
    Apr 12 2026

    Julie Hatton was 22 years old when she died from a gunshot wound at Darreen Station in 1978, leaving behind her 10-week-old daughter, Natalie.

    While her death was ruled a suicide, Natalie has spent decades questioning that conclusion, pointing to missing evidence and concerns raised by a former attending police officer.

    Natalie joins us to explain why she’s appealing the Coroner's decision against an inquest, and we encourage listeners to hear the deeper investigation in Graeme Crowley's podcast, The Guarantor.

    You can keep up with the developments of this case in The Guarantor Facebook Group.
